Somewhere around here, in 1797, a convention was held at Enniscorthy. It became a striking proof, people said, of how peaceable this country was. After the strictest investigation, there were not the slightest grounds for any parish in this district being proclaimed disaffected. Those gathered asked their lordship whether any act of outrage had been committed to justify or palliate so cruel a measure. If his exertions proved abortive, they meant to beg him, as one of their governors, to call a meeting of the county. They trusted that the sense of that meeting would show how unwarrantably they had been pointed out as proselytes to Defenderism. They said the congregated body would always protect the individual's good name, which was as dear to him as his life. Before taking leave, they humbly requested their lordship to accept their tribute.

Somewhere around here, in Wicklow, the years after 1798 brought no peace. The rebellion was said to have been put down, but for two years afterward this county saw the most material and destructive outrages committed against the persons and property of loyalists. Royal mercy had been extended, the author writes, “to a most dangerous excess,” in the hope of laying the malignant spirit to rest and conciliating the disaffected. It did not work. That spirit, which had occasioned the rebellion, never ceased. The county of Limerick suffered too, disturbed and disgraced by nocturnal robbery and assassination in those same years. But in Wicklow the outrages against loyalists were the worst, continuing long after the rebellion was declared over.

The town of Gorey appears on a grim list. In 1798, murders happened here, as they did at Scullabogue, Vinegar Hill, and Wexford Bridge. A writer named Cooper tried to excuse these killings, saying the perpetrators believed Orangemen had taken oaths to murder them. But the Orange institution did not exist in County Wexford. The story of an infamous oath taken by Orangemen, with atrocious designs against Roman Catholics, was, as the source puts it, "used merely as a veil to conceal their sanguinary views against Protestants of every rank and denomination," and to stir the lower class of Catholics against Protestants. The author of Considerations upon the State of Public Affairs, quoted by Cooper, was himself described as decidedly a Jacobin.
