We have learned the fearful lesson that
there is no safety except il an efficient Ire
department. More than four years ago,
one hundred anu fifty Of our business men
petitloned our Common Council 10 provide

tie reservoir in the State-House yard, and
the one back Of COwles block, with the
supply Of water from the canal al tie lower
town, il was thought would provide for
future emergencies. The petitioners also
pledged themselves 10 pay for these neces-
sites by direct taxation, 10 be levied upon
those who signed the petition. The petl-
ton was not needed. Nothing was done
in the matter from that time to the present,
although our business men have often and
earnestly demonstrated upon the subject

of the great losses by ire at Paw Paw

TIE Fenians q Progressive Party.

The Democracy have always counted
upon the Irish citizens for a solid vote and
have considered them reliable IN hating
the Niger, and e. voting the whole ticket '
But The Fenian movement has opened the
eyes Of the Irish-Americans, and they are
/ learning the lesson that those who believe
ir, and uphold oppression at home are the
last men 10 sympathize at heart with an
attempt TO overthrow tyranny abroad. We
publish the following resolutions, unani-
nonsly adopted at late meeting OF the
Feniau Brotherhood in Chicago:
ReSOjred, That while thus devoting our
lives 10 the disenihralment Of our native
land, and Of our countrymen, We will not
submit 10 the imputatiOn that we are
friendly 70 The enslavement or political
degradation Of any race. OF any portion Of
the human family, but insist that liberty
and Justice are not the privileges OF the
few, but the nalienahle birthright Of men.
HesOire0 That the Irish people in the
United States have long endured the iniu-
riOls reproach Of being the political slaves
OF party and that without inqulr.ng as 20
the merits of any political issue, they hav-
iug thrown their whole influence as a class.
Just a. they were directed by the political
organization OF which they have always
constituted 4 large numerical portion.
That Lenceiorth the Irish people in The
United states assert their perfect freedom
from party thralls and party allegiance,
and Ike their fellow citizens II American
birth will vote and act With those who
make universal liberty az home ana abroad
the cardinal point Of political faith
EeS0l1ed, That the Irish people Of tie
United states Will not he the dupes OF any
men or party organization which makes tie
political degradation Of any person a test
of political fidelity, because. if for no other
reason, L would be aTIaut impudence ia u
10 appeal 10 the world in behalf OF our own
cOuntrymen in their native land. while by
our votes, and our speeches, and our inhu-
ence, we insist that any portion Of the
people Of this country shall he denied that
liberty and equality which We demand for
ourselves, for our country, and for our
kindred.
Resolred, That it Is a foul libel upon the
patriotism and the intelligence Of the Irish
Americans 10 assert that we are the property
the voting chattles Of any political party,
and that we will satisfactorily repel that
calumny by hereafter, on all occasions,
voting for that party which finds no excuse
IN musty laws, in vested rights, and an
cient prejudices for degrading and en-
shaving men, or for preventing free men,
with arms in their hands, recovering that
liberty and nationality Of which they and
their race have long been cruelty and a.
famOusly deprived.
II is pleasure 10 notice this indication
Of Independent action on the part Of Irish
men in the future. They will be gladly
welcomed 10 the Republican ranks, and
by their aid We Shall do away with OPP
preston at home. and be prepared 10 up
hold the banner OF freedom in other lands.
