Excerpt from Orangeism Exposed: With a Refutation of the Charges, &C., &C., Brought Against the Irish Nation There is no country whose history is so little known, nor one which has been more exposed to the calumny of enemies and hired scribblers, than Ireland. This may be attributed to the Vandalism of her oppressors, for, so soon as England gained a footing in that country, her interested policy led her to the destruction of every document, within her grasp, that could throw any light on its history or expose her usurpations, and the system pursued by her, in relation to its government. The necessity of this policy has been so well understood in England, and it is a remarkable fact, that from the earliest period, up to the present day, the different factions which have succeeded each other in the government of Ireland, have uniformly concealed or palliated the atrocities committed therein by their predecessors. It is curious to see, that however this selfish people may quarrel among themselves about power at home, with what circumspection they avoid every thing that may lead to an exposure of the administration of the government in Ireland. Their very vehicles of slander, (the news-papers) through which they heap abuse on each other without measure, seem to have an understanding on this head, for if they notice Ireland at all, it is not for the purpose of exposing the misgovernment of, and the atrocities committed in that devoted province.
