Non-Intervention the Cradle of Fenianism.

" Anglo-Irish" writes as follows to the Herald :
—" The Fenian conspiracy was born on that day
on which the Emperor of the French, the most far-
seeing, the wisest of all modern Sovereigns, and
England's truest friend, invited Lords Palmerston
and Russell, nay, urged on them the advisability of
France and England recognising the independence
of the Southern States of North America. Lords
Palmerston and Russell refused the wise counsel of
the French Emperor, and on that day combined
Irish America gave birth to Fenianism. I say
" combined," for that short-sighted policy, " a
policy emanating from the Manchester School, and
that portion of the community who feared a pre-
I sent disturbance of their trade," made the Southern
equally with the Northern States our deadly foes.
The hackneyed cry of " expediency," so long
reigning over our destinies, has given way of
late years to the cry of " non-intervention"—
a system commendable in the abstract, but
destructive in general application ; for in Lord
Russell's hands it has lowered our position amongst
nations, and where we were formerly feared and re-
spected we are now derided and despised. Honour,
gallantry, and humanity are discouraged, as in the
case of Capt. Wake and the Bulldog ; whilst such
bloodthirsty and heart-sickening atrocities as were
committed in Jamaica, if they are not approved of,
will, in all probability, receive but a dubious rebuke
at the hands of thosewho rule over us. Baneful, in-
deed, are the effects of this modern policy of non-in-
tervention. It has dismembered Denmark ,f or notwith-
standing the boastful threat that a " Great Power"
was behind, ready to defend the rights of that un-
happy country, that " Great Power" never showed ;
it was found in nubibus when " fighting reality"
commenced. Rapacious Prussia has taken the spoil
to herself, and a German war is not unlikely to rise
out of the embers of a " Whig non-intervention
policy." That policy has reconstructed the Ameri-
can Union, and made those States the most stupendous,
the most aggressive power in the world ; it will ere
long in all probability lose us our North American
provinces, and, worst of all, it has aroused the spirit
of disaffection in Ireland which it may take
years to subdue. Had the counsel of the French
Emperor been met with just appreciation and com-
pliance the States army would now be what it then
was—an army of raw recruits, without experienced
officers, without the common knowledge or appli-
ances of warfare ; and their fleet, now said to be
superior to our own, at that time blockading the
Southern coasts, would have been swept from the
face of the ocean. Her dockyards being annihilated
could never have given existence to the formidable
naval armaments with which she can now cover the
ocean ; and three separate and " harmless" na-
tionalities would " then" have been formed from a
territory which " now" " in one," threatens to be
the terror of the world. But no ; the peace at all
hazards, the £ s. d. policy of the then rulers of Eng-
land prevailed : " a present calm" was preferred
for themselves, the " future tempest" was
left for others. Foreign agencies are now
ranged in the ranks with Ireland's treasured
wrongs in urging on and fomenting a rebellion
which threatens to destroy that country's dearest
interests. I will now ask, what within the last
five years, until the election was over, have the
Government done to arrest the course of this
torrent of disaffection, this torrent of their own
creation? Until the polling-boths were closed
they never even divulged the dread secret; they
turned a deaf ear to every advice and proposal for
fortifying and securing
the the vulnerable portions of
Irish coasts; they
dismantled existing forts; they
withdrew the armaments from others ; they repu-
diated the advice of the military authorities to change
the regiments quartered in Ireland, and the loyal
people of that country are now about to gatherai
the harvest of their folly. Unarmed and undefended
in itself, save by a corrupt police and an organised
rebel militia, Ireland will have to cursethe
which gave birth in America to the offspringt
of
n day
intervention,
which promises so on_

of blot to the mistaken and, ruinous po
l.coy add another
the• d
and she must reap the
Palmer-
ston and Russell. But England has sown
whirlwind—England has
only herself to blame if
she now has to pour out
her blood and her treasure in a civil war brought on
through the selfishness and inaction of those into
whose hands she has confided, the task of turning
the wheel of her destinies.
