Excerpt from Valentine M'clutchy, the Irish Agent, Vol. 1 of 3: Or Chronicles of the Castle Cumber Property English and Scotch. I know not whether the authenticity of the facts and descriptions con tained in it may be called in question but this I do know, that there is not an honest man, on either side, who has lived in the north of Ire land, and reached the term of fifty years, who will not recognise the conduct and language of the northern Orangemen as just, truthful, and not one whit exaggerated. To our friends across the Channel it is only necessary to say, that I was born in one of the most Orange counties in Ireland (tyrone) - that the violences and licentious abuses of these armed civilians were perpetrated before my eyes - and that the sounds of their outrages may be said still to ring in my ears.
