There is a strong probability that
the Fenians condemned BY the Cana
dian courts will be executed, and if it
be done their blood will be upon the
hands of Andrew johnson. But for
the encouragement he gave to the pro-
posed invasion Of Canada it would
never have been attempted, and these
men would not now be the victims of
the foTlOrn hope of Irish liberty
While Canada trembled in fear of the
blow about to be struck, Andrew
johnson talked to Fenian delegations
about his sympathy for unhappy Ire
land, careful not to commit himself
officially to the movement, yet strong
ly encouraging it by the plain con-
struetion of his language. His words
were quoted at the secret Fenian meet
ings, and his arguments used to induce
contributions of money and men for
for the cause. At the request Of a
delegation appointed and instructed
by Fenian Convention, the President
released John Mitchell from arrest, an
act which the Brotherhood justly con-
strued into an approval of their plans.
To make assurance doubly sure, arms
were sold by Government agents to
Fenian leaders who little suspected
that these same weapons would after
wards be seized and Wrested from them
by the very same authority from which
they were being purchased. With
these encouragements the brave little
Irish army started for Canada, but no
sooner reached the border than it
found United States troops under or
ders from Andrew johnson to stop all
its movements and thwart its purposes.
Now, whatever may have been the re-
suit of the enterprise, had it been let
alone, Andrew johnson having both
encouraged and defeated it, has made
himself alike responsible for the inju-
ries done to Canada, and the misfor-
tunes that have befallen the Irish
cause. He got the Fenians into the
scrape to get their votes, and now he
hopes by saving the captured ones from
hanging to accomplish the same pur-
pose. His sympathies with oppressed
ireland are evidently Uery disinter-
ested.

The Democratic press is now reviv-
ing the howl it used to raise in the
time of Mr.. Lincoln about the despot-
ism Of the Government According
to these bread-and- butter whimperers
we are rapidly drifting into a mon
archy, and all because the patriotic
and disinterested Copperhead party is
not permitted to rule the country. But
/ it Is not In Executive usuTpation, as
was charged on Mr.. Lincoln, that the
danger Is now said to lie. On the con-
trary Mr.. johnson cannot assume au-
thority too arbitrary or unlimited to
satisfy these individuals. They would
have him dictate not only what laws
Congress should make. but give him
license to do as he pleases about exc
cutting them after they are made. They
would authorize him not only to con-
troll the legislation of Congress, but
to dissolve and destroy that body un-
{ less It may be made up according to
his peculiar notions. Andrew John
son, say they, shall prescribe not on
( Iy what laws we shall have, but what
sort of a Congress shall make them.
Some Of them have even advised him
1 to'assume at once the powers of mill
tary dictator and to use bayonets, if
necessary, to force rebel legislators up
on the country. Not only so, but they
justify him in pardoning thousands of
criminals who have never been tried,
and thus in adjudgiDg their guilt or
innocence assuming more judicial pow
er than all the courts IN the Union.
In short these Democratic patriots
would have all the power of the Gov
eminent, executive, legislative and ju-
diciaI center in Andrew johnson, and
not satisfied with his being merely
President would have him Dictator
And at the same time they are howl
ing all through the land about the
! Radicals converting the Government
into a despotism And this, forsooth
simply because the people have tri-
umphed over their 'Odious" master
and sustained their faithful rcpresen-
tativesi Congress is accused Of tyr
amy and yet Congress is but another
name for the people Congress is de-
nounoed as revolutionary and disunion
and yet that Congress has been elect
ed aud sustained BY the loyal and in
taIligeBt Easssos Of the country. Con-
gress is to be suppressed and overturn-
ed, and yet Congress is but the embodi-
ment Of the will of constitutional
majority Such Is Democratic Repub-
licanism o, that Copperheads might
save this country from despotism
How severely they would save it !

There IS scarcely a stronger or more
sacred obligation devoIving upon the
people of this country than that of ed
ucating the freedmen. For more than
two centuries these people have been
the victims Of an infamous system of
oppression, sanctioned and legalized
by the American Government. Orig
inally heather tribe in country al
most destitute of the re6nements of
civilization. they could scarcely be ex-
pected to improve much, morally or
Intellectually, while sold as stock in
the shambles and driven by the lash
like beasts of burden. That the race
should be inferior to the white is not
strange; on the other hand it is aston
ishing that the immense inequality of
circumstances has not rendered it more
so. The African nature has resisted
the degrading influence of slavery
with remarkable hardihood, and ex-
hibits a wonderful capacity for i'm
provement. All it needs is the proper
facilities and encouragement to make
the most rapid advancement. The
freedmen need not special legislation
so much as books and teachers. Give
them intelligence and they will take
care of their own rights and secure
their own proper level in society. To
them it is emphaticalIy true that
knowledge is power" and by the
power of knowledge only can they
hope to break down the absurd distinc-
tions of caste. and obtain the political
and social rights of freemen. Then let
them be educated. Education is their
proper protection, and a far surer and
more potent one than that of a Gov
ernment, which the blow of an assas-
sin may change from friend to an en- |
emy, from a watchful guardian to a re-
lentless prosecutor.
Nor is it less a duty to ourselves than
TO them to educate these people. They
cannot be removed from our midst.
md we do not want a race of barba-
.ians among US. The more they are
elevated the more it will facilitate our
own Advancement. They will no long
# be a burden upon the wheels of pro
yress, but power to accelerate their
notion. They will increase in wealth
nd enterprise as they do in intelli-
5ence, and prove a valuable auxiliary
n all the great progressive movements
f the day. They will no longer in
pire contempt, but command respect
nd esteem. Shall we not help them :
long?

The Marion Democrat thinks the
great aoeessions of intelligence and
patriotism to the Democratic cause
came too late" The accessions refer
red to are of course such as came from
the Union party to which, we infer,
the Democracy is indebted even for
its limited patriotism and intelli-
gence. But the Democrat does not re-
fer to the fact that these accessions of
intellect, upon which the Anticipated
Democracy prided itself so much,
have for the most part been only tenn
poray. Henry Ward Beecher, who
for time was the special pet of
Copperh cad newspapers all over
the country, not excepting that
at Marion, and whose oranial resour-
ees were supposed to be equivalent to
those Of great many scores of ordi-
nary Democratic statesmen-ev
Beecher, the prop of so many Demo-
cratic hopes, has returned to the bos-
ON Of Radicalism, bringing with him
all his brains which he now uses to
good purpose in exposing the wicked
ness and corruption of the Democratic
party of which an inside view has Civ
en- him some startling ideas. The
same is true of Raymond, and while
we earnestly desire the reformation of
the Democratic party and fully appre-
eiate the fact that Radical patriotism
and intellect only can redeem it, yet it |
Is melancholy faCtthat it will require |
more brain power than that of all the |
Stewards, Doolittles, Blairs and other
Union renegades in the country to
raise it from the low depths to which
it has fallen.

The following is from the Marys-
vile Tribune. Of course we are ex-
tremely reluctant to publish it, but
since people viii talk about US we may
as we'll know what they have to say:
The citizens of Delaware county, as
we predicted, voted down the PROPOSE
ton to tax themselves a few dimes
apiece to build a new Court House.
We are extremely sorry for this. For
the last eight years we have been stead
fastly boasting of the iberality and
munifcence of the people Of Delaware
county; but now they come along and
do a trick which implies that all of our
boasting has been the chickering's of a
perverted Imagination. Henceforth
we will stand upon the merits of the
question.

The editor ofthe Herald, with re-
markable conciseness of language.
says, There is nothing that the Rad
icals stand so much in need of at the
present time as some person who will
act as a leader to them" That rivals
the terseness of Macauley and the ele-
gance of Addison. But for the won
derful strength of the idea it would
certainly have broken down under
such an accumulation of words. Yet
its tOrturing genius, not satisfied with
this, heaps upon it nearly a column of
the same kind of verbiage, all to re-
lieve his distress, because the Radical
party, as he alleges, has no leader
But he need not trouble himself. The
party seems to be doing remarkably
we'll without one.
