for the apprehension Of the chief actors in the mrderous
drama had also raised hue and cry after them and

The Identification o! the body Of Booth, the murderer
rendered complete by his initials g" W. b., In India
ink upon his wrist. The post mortcm examination was
made by Surgeon General Barnes 1t found that the
ban had passed just along the base of the BRAIN without
injury to tho brain, but by striking the spinal column
had occasioned immediate paralysis The opinion of tho
surgeons is that his death must have been horrible

IIishmen and Liberty.

: The last Democrat, after quoting some remarks
we made couple eeweeks si,,cc in regaf,it to the
sFeniani excitement, says: E s1l DAf
"EIe has no preference between the. iowntrod-
den and outcast sons of a dearly loved and che
ished land and their oppresSofs.''
= VIII should WEI Have Irishmen shown any
preference in this country between the poor down
trodden black men and their cruel and hcartloss
oppreSsorsl Yes. they have, but it has been in
farOr Of their oppressorsl What right have the
Fcnisns to ask the aid or sympathy of American
Republicans when they have done all shey could
in this country to uphold and strengthen the most
damnab lie system of oppression and tyranny that
ever disgraced any age or country And what is
their treatment Of this downtroddcn classl Can
SUCH men expect to enlist the sympathy of ;.nilan

forts to attain the independence of their native
laHdl Men who are in favor Of enslaying others
arc not themselves fit to enjoy national indcpen-
dcnce. The same measure they give others they
viii get in return. Thus saith holy writ. But
in what way are they oppressed The greatest
oppression under which they chafe at present in
Ireland, we imagine, is the tolersticn they are
forced to observe toward their protestant fellow
citizens. How long, think you, after the estab-
lishment of the Irish Republic, would protestant
ism be tolerated in the green iSe7 We do not saw

cape British tyranny, have been the bitt.rest en-
emies and most persistent prosecutor. of this I'M
fortunate race.
1t is not true as the Democrat asserts that we
dislike the Irish men and women, but we do
de.Pise their bsotry and intolerance and subser-
viency to the Slavcocracy and rotten Democracy
Of America They have suffered equally as much
oppression from Slsveocracy and sham Democracy

British, but they have never been able to see it.
therefore nearly ceased to hope for their moral
and political acknowledgment, though no one would
heartily rejoice over such an event than our
self
As TO the Fcnian movement in this country re-
sulting in any benefit to the Irish people there is
the least prospect imaginable, but if We wished
them i'll and could rejoice the m:sfortuncs Of
any people we would encourage the enterprise, but
believing that any attempt to olutionze ireland
will only enj in the ruin and destruction of those
who make tile attempt We have refrained from en-
coungirg the movement.
