Feniau movements continue to attract
large share Of public attention, and the
excitement among the brotherhood is al
parently unabated. Immense meetinos
continue to be held in the cities all over
the country, and very large sums of money
are being contributed by those who par-
tlclpate In them. The two branches of
the order seem to embrace nearly the en-
tire male Irish population of the country
The Roberts branch manifestly meditates
an attack on Canada, while the O'BTahopv
branch propose to move direct on ireland
though It does not appear how they ex-
pect to reach their destination. Both
organizations claim to have an unlimited
number Of men and fabulous quantities
OF arms and munitions of war at their
command, and both profess to be on the
point of inauguratiug decided aggressive
movements; but still people generally
persist in regarding the whole affair as a
farce. One thing is certain-the Cana
dians are desperately frightened and their
entire disposable military force is under I
arms, and the British Government has
acted in a manner to show that thew at
sach great importance to the threatened
outbreak. No less than 10000 regular
roops are now quartered in ireland. and
he number is constantly being added to.
Whatever may be the result, the British
71ll at least incur heavy bill Of ex-
ense IN consequence Of the excitement.

Tn election held in New Hampshire on
the 18th resulted in decisive Union vie
tory. Smith, Union, is elected Governor
by a large majority, estimated at 10000,
which is a large gain over last year, aud
more than double the majority received by
President Lincoln. The entire Board of
Councillors are Union, also nine Of the
twelve Senators, and in the House the
Union majority is about one hundred
This does not look like a split in the Uni

The Indiana Union State Convention,
which met at indianapolis on last Thursday,
adopted the following, among other resolves
Resoiced, That we have full faith in Pres.
ident johnson and his Cabinet, end in the
Union members of both Houses of Con.
gress, and in the sincere desire and deter.
mination Of all of them to conduct the af-
fairs of the Government in such a manner
as to secure the hest interests of the whole
people and we hereby declare that we will
sustain them in oil constitutional efforts to
restore peace, order and permanent union.
Resotred That while we indorse the
President Of the United States in his consti.
tutional efferts for the safety Of the Union
and the restoration Of law and order, we do
hereby express our entire confidence in the
Union majority in Congress, aud pledge il
our cordial support. a-.-
Resolced, That il is the province of the
legislative branch of the General Govern
ment to determine the question of recon
struction Of the States lately in rebellion
against that Government, and that in the
exercise OF that power Congress should
have in view the loyalty Of the peonle in
those States, their devotion to the Consti
rutioo and obedience to the laws and until
the people Of those States. by their acts,
prove themselves loyal to the Government,
they should not be restored to the rights
and position enjoyed and occupied by them
previous to their rebellion.

secentcen thousand fire hundred ,cere White

XIV. That, instead Of the freedmen re-
ceiving protection from the civil Courts Of
tho Southern States, and being secured BY
them in his rights, these States have, al
most without exception, enacted through
their legislatures laws with reference to the
freedmen as infamous and oppressive as the
black code OF Slavery.
XIV. That, if the Presidents views re-
earding the representation Of the late Rebel
States in Congress is correct, then all the
legislation of the past Ave years is naIl and
void.
Such were the main points in Sena
tor Trumbulrs speech, set forth with
unusual power and eloquence.

AN EXTRAORDINARY SPEECH
BY THE PR ESIDENT.

President johnson was serenaded on
Thursday last by motley crowd of
Rebels, with few mild Union men
mixed in, and, in response to calls, the
President appeared and made the most
extraordinary speech ever made by
President of the United States. In
temper and spirit such language as he
used would be discreditable to the
hustings, and, used ON the forum, by
the highest officer in the nation, 1t was
positively disgraceful and humiliating.
Not only Mr.. Johnson was disgraced,
but the nation is most grievously in
suited and disgraced by this perform
ance. There is nothing in the previous
history of the country to compare to
it. Mr. Johnson's incoherent nonsense
about "plebean," &c, at the time ofhis
Inauguration as Vice President, is
respectable when compared with this
latest effort at Presidential stump
speaking
We do not feel like burdening our
over-cro wded columns with this Presi-
dental nonsense, but, in order that our
readers may fully appreciate the per-
formance, we give the following par
agraphs as specimen bricks:
D.. .bo,o xontia,,on n, ma oyin1 roupd
their circle, have fought traitors and trea-
son in the. South opposed the Davses,
and Toombscs, and Slidcls, and long list
of others, whose names | need not repeat |;
and now. when turn round at the other
end Of the line, find men, care not by
what name you call them, A voice-"call
them traitors" who still stand opposed to
the restoration Of the Union of these States,
and am free to say TO you that am still
for the preservation of this compact.
am still for the rest storaton Of this Union.
nm still in favor of this great Government
Of ours living and following out It's destiny.
A voice, "tiive us the names."l A gentle
man calls for their names; well suppose
should give them? A voice, "We know
them look upon them, | repeat it, as
| President or citizen, as much opposed to
the fundamental principles Of this Govern
inent, and believe they are as much labor
| ing to pervent or destroy them, az were the
men who fought against us. A voice,
what are the names2" say Thaddeu,
Stevens, of Pennsylvania, tremendous ap
plause; | say Charles Sumner great ap
plause / say Wendell Phillips, and other'
of fhesame stripe. all amongst them. A
voice, *'Give it to Forney." Some gentle
mnn in the crowd says give it to Forney.
have only just to say, that ] do not waste
my ammunition upon dead ducks. s(Laugh
ter and applause.
After easing himself Of tho above,
the President proclaimed his fears that
Stevens and Sumner were conspiring
for his assassination This is so su-
premely ridiculous that it needs no
comment, and will provoke only the
laugh of scorn.

New Declarations by the Presi-
dent.

The President has had conv crsa-
tion with Gov. Cox, of Ohio, an au-
thorized report of which has been given
to the public. This affords strong
ground for the hope that Mr.. johnson
does not propose to desert the party
that elected him; and we venture to
say that the Copperheads on reading it,
will arrive at the conclusion that they
were too fast in endorsing his policy"
The policy as thus announced they
certainly cannot indorse, without un-
dergoing a great change of heart The
idea advanced that the Freedmen's s
Bureau bill is to be maintained, and
that none but truly loyal men are to be
admitted to Congress, will especially
prove distasteful.
We will publish this letter next
week.
