THE FENIANS.

The latest tidings from Europe bring to
our ears the sounds of an uprising in Ire
land, or a threatening Of such a character
Of movement, commencing under the aus
pices of the Society of Fenians, whose
brethren are associated in organizations OF
the same name in this country. What
ever may be the result of this movement
in a practical point of view we can first
take to our gratifying reflection the state
ments of the liberal journals Of Ireland,
England and Scotland in regard to the
chief melting cause for this murmuring OF
outbreak. Sturdy Scotch sense, before
the comparatively dull perceptions Of the
Lowlanders of England, seized the signif-
canoe of the triumph of the Union cause
in this country as calculated to produce a
hope in stern remonstrance lat least)
against English landlord tyranny over
Irish tenant. And from the Liberal Or
cans of Great Britain we have the explicit
statement that had the Copperhead or
Democratic party succeeded in 1864, the
result would have been the disruption OF
the Union and the establishment Of a con-
>viction throughout Europe that Republi-
can Institutions were a failure. They ex-
pressly tell US that the success OF the
Union party is understood by them to
have been the guarantee Of the American
nations success as an im~perishable Re-
public; and that this vindication Of our
Government was the sounding OF the
dea.h-knell to tyranny, and perhaps to
monarchy, throughout the civilized world.
And their local references are very re-
freshing TO read. The friends OF the Irish
Liberal cause were rendered resolute in
their purpose to appeal, with a menace
that would have TO be needed, for reform
in the Irish rule and redress for griev-
ances in the past, because the successful
vindication Of Republican Government in
America had encouraged them to believe
that England dare not deny the petitions
or refuse the claims Of her oppressed peo-
pie. Again and again is the remark
made, as direct assertion, and as casual,
incidental phrase, that the triumph of the
Union party of ga was the death-blow to
the Southern C~onfederacy, the grand fact
of accomplishment that rendered and ac-
,ually made the Republic enduring. 1t
is so appreciated by the Liberals of
Great Britain. And on this pre-
else basis of historical fact are
the Fenian Brotherhood of Ireland pro-
ceeding. They know that the British
Government will soon be called upon to
pay for the pira,ical ~depredations Of those
who cruised against our commerce in
English bottoms /; and they don't disguise
the expectation that a refusal oil the part
of John Bull would be, pre-eminently,
Erin's day in the Court Of Time. With
the concession to our demands, it is conf
IDENTIFY believed there will be an associated
concession TO Irish demands for liberation
from the thralldom Of English aristocracy.
We purpose, hereafter, TO furnish extracts
from the Liberal organs of Great Britain
demonstrating to our Irish readers foE
whose especial benefit the quotations
should be made) that the great hope OF
their counsrymen is frightened through
the success Of the Union party OF this
country, that had the Democrats triumph
ed at the last election their hands would
have been politically paralyzed, instead OF
strengthened for doing service in the pre-
cious cause of Irish freedom. What all
suggests to ~Irishmen, as their political
duty here. to-day, need not be explained.
They can understand and viii act.
