Large Numbers Arriving as HAT
/ f"lO-A Mass NIeeting-AppeaI OF
the Revolutionary Committee.
BUFFALO, June r12-Large numbers OF
Fenians from Malone arrived here, having
been furnished transportation from there
TO Buffalo by General Meade. Citizens are
beginning to feel uneasy at the collection
OF such body of men, though they have
behaved tolerably well so far Gen. Barry
late yesterday afternoon received authority
to give transportation to Fenlans who de-
sired to 20 farther West and could not nav
their passage, on giving their parole not to
attempt the Invasion Of Canada. We un-
derstand that very few have avalled them
selves Of this offer.
A Fenian mass meeting will be held at
st. James Hall this evening. This meet
ing is occasioned primarily by the intro
duction OF resolution in Congress to in
struct the committee on Foreign Affairs to
| inquire into the eXpediency Of reporting q
| Dlll repeating the neutrality act of 1875
rms action OF Congress gives new life to
the movement, and an enthusiastic meeting
Is expected this evening.
The Fenan Senator, Michael Sinlop, of
| Chicago, tile head man of the Irish Repub-
lie in the State of Illinois, arrived in this
city yesterday.
The Revolutionary committee of the Irish
Republic have published an appeal to the
Irish citizens of Buffalo and all lovers of
republican liberty. The following is an
extract from it:
Let the Irish citizens in particular send
In commissary stores, such as bread meat,
coffee, sugar. &C., just what each one would
like at home. We want all the money we
can raise for other purposes. What pur-
poses the people can guess. Let no person
imagine that the cause is defeated, or that
the men who have sworn to free their ma
tive land or die will abandon their cause
because few over-zealOus officials have
placed some obstacles in our way. The voice
OF the great American people is at last heard
IN her halls of Congress, not from a single
Individual, but from the representatives OF
| thirty millions; and true to their natural in
stinct, they raise their voices forth Oppress-
ed. God bless them. They will raise many
downcast spirit throughout the world and
make tyrants tremble on their thrones, as
the cry goes forth, America is the defender
of liberty. Let the people take heart
throughout the land, call meetings, pass
resolutions, pledge their support to the men
who inscribe on their banners universal
liberty. Be patient, but work; collect
money, have your men ready, and when
lndlVldualS, II they cannot come as COM
panies or regiments.
