Of the Irish Congress recently assembled in
Philsdelphis can be received as evidence Of .
firm hops 10 the success Of their cause. it affords
reason to believe thar there is some foundation
In the movement and that II is not the baseless
fabric Of D dream.
But our object at this time Is not 10 discuss the

allude TO the character OF the new organization
of the Fenian Brotherhood in North America,
adopted by the Cosgress assembled in Philadel-
phis on Monday last. From what is given to
the public, IL appears that a regular Government
. we formed, not Tor Ireland. but for the reguls-
. lion Of The Brotherhood 10 America. We are
told that The new Constitution is framed after
the Constitution Of the United States. The or
ganization is something after this form: The
new Constitution creates a President. and Mill
tary and Naval Bureaus, with SECRETARIES OF
Treasury and War. who shall have control of
their several departments. There Is also provi-
dsd a House of Representatives, and the dele
gate elected to the Congress then in session
we're made that branch Of the Government, the
Senators having been previously elected. so tina,
the new Government was at once organized. We
are also advised that the joint Houses thus
constituted made unanimous choice Of Colonel
JONI 0MAHoSkY for President Of the Fenisn
Brotherhood 10 North America. Inspector
Generals. q military Office, were appointed
10 visit The several States, and q Gov
eminent House is TO be established in New
York. Whether this is the organization, or the
Government Of the new Republis of ireland is
not made public, but 10 all respects il 10 as com
plete a Governmental organization as that of the
United States. and by citizens, in the main. ow-
ing allegiance to this Government. Il Is stated
that the Brotherhood in this country numbers
three hundred thousand members. not women or
children. but men capable of bearing arms. And
il is a military organization. secret in its charac-
ter, demanding obedience TO the commands Of ito
superior officers. If the influence of such an
organization is concentrated to accomplish any
particular object. its power and efficiency can be
readily comprehended. The objects of the Bro
thsfhood are not made known TO the public, be-
yond the general idea that II has for itj end the
redemption Of Ireland from British thraldom.
How that end is TO be gained. or assisted, throu gh
this organization Is a sealed book beyond its
members and that secret may not even 20 beyond
its Congress and the Executive departments.
At all events the organization is upon a grand
scale, With sufficient strength to make il avail
able II il can be applied directly to the end in
view. Aud IL is almost as perfect a Government
aS the ooSernment Nltnln WHICH AZ Is e-ttoiSueu,
ana 70 whom its members look for protection as
cit rens.
But We have another purpose in thus allud-
ing, at the length We have. to this powerful mill
tsry organic ,tion. The Republican leaders. the
Republican press aud the Republican party gene
rally charges that the 5 ms OF Liberty was a frso-
sonabk or xanisation. for the alleged reason that
10 Gas . ,ecret military organization, not recog-
missed by the laws Of the State or General Gov
~nment-,hst IL was a military organization un-
known to the laws Of the State. hence il was in
eonnict with its asthority. Now. We inquire. il
this position was correct in one case, whether il
10 nes equally applicable in ALI The cases under
discussion are certainly analogous, for the facts
are the same. no matter what may be the pro
fessed objects Of the organizations or the pur-
poses attribated TO them. Our object is not tc
discuss the right or wrong of the Fenian organi
sation, but only to illustrate the partissn animu:
and vindictiveness Of the so-called Union or Re
publican party. Ii is not, and i, has not been,
guided by principle. aud its onlY end is to reta .
power, no matter through what agencies IL /.
accomplished.
