The Fenian movement for the liberation Of Ire
land has drawn forth the comments of the news
paper press of this coast on the same All Of
them with ttco exceptions, the Bulletin and News
letter, have whilst doubling the ability of the
movement to successfully accomplish its object,
from their knowledge of the means at our com
mand which is very limited, yet wish us and our
cause success. These Journals arr entitled to the
gratitude of all Irish hearts, for their good wishes
for long suffering and misgoverned people. How
could it be otherwise. The Irish people have
been the Steadfast friends of the Americans and
their country from its first inception as a Nation,
down to the present time In every conflict that
they have been engaged In, the Irish soldiers stood
side by side with the native American, and freely
shed their hearts blood for the preservation of the
country of their adoption. And pow that these
War.WOrn veterans OF Erin have turned their anx.
ious gaze to the land Aof their birth, the scenes
of their boyhood days come back to their memo
nv once more and makes their cheeks Jingle with
anger if not with shame, at the that at that
time daily took place before their eyes. Scenes
that would have moved hearts Of stone to pity,
but which failed to excitea passing emotion in
the breasts of their cold, sordid and ayaricious
oppressors. The brave and generous Americans
who fought with, and know the longings that ami
mates the breasts of their Irish comrades in arms,
for the overthrow of their common hereditary ene-
my, England, wish them God speed on their err
rand of justice, mercy and humanity. Their sin
cere wishes will go for the success OF a people
whom they had but to know alittle better, in or.
der to appreciate the sterling worth of people
who have been maigned, traduced and yilifed.l

the United States, inasmueh as they are seeking
to give republican government to Ireland,
against which country the editor says We swore It

as trying to. embroiI the United States in a war
with England, in order to further our own ends
Serious charges these if true. The editor OF the
Bulletin knows as well as 40 lnat tne Fenah. or
ganzation in the United States is not secret so.
cety, as we are hound by 10 oath, have no pass

0aalq object to be the separation OF Ireland from
Eng land BY force of arms. That IN our efforts to
give Ireland free government, we intend viola
ting 10 law of the United States, TO Which las re,
clares we owe paTamount aieglence. AND thdt
as Fenians' we are strictly prohibited from III
'terfering in American politics IN our meetings.
We claim the raght as citizens ofthe United States
to help any people with our means, and, II we
choose, our lives to free them from the iron heel
of despotsm, no matter who that people may be,

broiIing the United States in war with EHgland,
of which country the editor OF the Bulletin is
loyal subject or object, and of whose welfare he
seems to be SO solicitous, We can assure nm gnat
such is not our aim: inasmuch as we 90 not
exactly wish the country of John Bull to be blot
ted entirely from the map of Nations as II assut-
eddy would be, and suffering humanity be the
gamer thereby, ifsshe should be f0ol>hardy enough
to court another war with the Americans, which
in our struggle to free Ireland we will be compel
