| Transcript | Cheltenham 17 Aug. 1829 Dear Sir Hill I was happy to see that the 12 August went off so quietly in Derry; I think Lord Fras [Francis?] Gouer's letter to the Mayor a proper one, and I really do think you are all called upon after the acknowledged good conduct of the Protestants, to take notice of the Paragraph in the Chronicle threatening the Protestants with Death if they dared to appear on that day; for once the good conduct of the Protestants is appreciated, not attributed to fear, I approve much of the plan of the Orange Lodge to turn their funds and minds to Protestant Colonization; much better work than Processions and Dinners; Emigration of Protestants is of all things the most to be dreaded, and we shall now see how far the Liberals are sincere when they tell us their support of late measures was given for the same purpose as our opposition; the support of Protestant Interests. |
