We published yesterday resolutions Of the
Fcnian Brotherhood OF Chicago to the effect
that They s'be1ieyed It to be the duty Of our
Government, in protection Of our national
honor and in Just self defense, to declare open
and honorable war against said English Gov
eminent" J" and p1cdging the Chicago Circle
<'to raise Immediately 5000 men. upon the
sole conditions Of being ordered forward at
the earliest moment, by the shortest route,
to meet the common enemy Of Ireland and
America"
It appears, then, that the Chicago Circle OF
Fenians have s, ,0o0 men ready to fight Eng
land who arc not ready to fight JED. Davis.
They make no scruple OF tendeftng their SER
vices in the former case and withholding
them in the latter: -
= II the Fenians Tant to fight England to
free Heland, 1t Is hypocsitfcal and treacherons
in them to cloak thisreal intent under pre-
tended dcsire to sustain the national honor"
of the United States and to promote our work
'of selfdetencc" In the present contest. If
they want to Fight for ireland instead of the
United States, their place is In Ireland, and
not IN the United states- By returning to
Ireland they will have no difficulty in getting
somebody to trend on their coat' 'tals, ana VIII
