The President does not appear to be alarmed
at their threats. We understand that he has ,
full account Of what was done in the famou
executive sessions referred to; just what wa
said by the radical Senators, and the real pc

warned, and we dare say in readiness fol
them. Some Of those Senators who on that oc.
casion were loud in their accusations have
since been fawning around the White House,
but their fawning has been futile; for he who
presides there is too well versed in the records
for them to deceive him. Nor need President
Johnson entertain the least fear as to the re-
suit of the attacks of the malignant radicals

He has the great mass Of the people with him.
They SO emphatically endorse his course that
the politicians everywhere have to put on the
face Of pledging to support him to make any
show whatever. The evidence is conclusive
that impeachment is part Of their programme
for next winter; but this only reveals the
desperation Of their cause. They have from
the very commencement Of their opposition to
ground, and will find themselves in the end
dwindled down to weak and powerless fac
ton. Every effort on their part strengthens
the President with the people, and thus adds
another guarantee to the final and triumphant
success of his policy and administration.
The .Feninn I0vomont-Its National
Character and Features.
The latest news from Ireland indicates the
uneasiness of the government organs there,
which, while they express their wonder at the
universally Of Fenianism in every part Of the
country, and at its appearance in the army,
attempt at the same time to make little Of it.
Those who suppose that the Fenian movement is
q little cloud that will blow over, who fancy it
a trivial disturbance that will be put down by
the police, with may be few broken heads,
have not studied it at all or taken any notice
of the circumstances under which it arises. IT,

certain portions of the Roman Catholic clergy
have openly spoken against it. Moreover, this
Irish movement comes just at the period when
