Karl Spencer, at last, has grown tired of being dragged. at the tail of the Orange factionists in Ulster. The thought thao he could be brow-beaten and drilled into obedience by the graud-noasters or deputy grand-masters who - took it into their heads to order him about has been too galling a one, and he has now summoned up courage to rebel. He has done what he should have done long since, issued notice to the Orangemen that he will tolerate no more, of their " counter-demonstrations." He ackuowledges publicly, at length, that the Nationalists of Ulster have a peifectly; legal -and moral right to assemble publicly whenever they, please,. to give expression to their feelings on social and political questions,. and ha announces that for the future he will not permit any. body of Orangemen to interfere 'with this right. Time after time the Lord Lieutenant has been urged to take thi3 course, and although he has waited until the eleventh hour to do it, yet it is better that it should- be donq.even now than not done at all,«~--JVWte»> Jane 7.
