FARMERS aud others who come to PIym,

other business with Our citizens, would do
well to consult the columns of the Demo-

also do the trades and professions. Those
who cannot afford to advertise are the men
that will sell at the very highest prices

The newspapers and telegraph wires, for
the last fe + weeks, are largely occupied With
reports, facts and rumors in reference to
movements and projects of the Fenians.
The situation as we gather it from the,
voluminous newspaper matter daily appear
ing on the subject, is about this. The branch
of the Fenian Brotherhood that adhere to
O'Mahony confine their efforts towards sup
porting an stimulating an uprising in 1re>
land, while the branch that adhere to Presi'
dent Robe rts are preparing, under the leader
ship of Gen. Sweeney. late of the .. S. army,
for an immediate invasion of Canada. The
New York World goes so far as to announce
the very day March 25th) when the invasion
is to take place; and to give a list of the
contributions Of men and money in sup port
Of it. Thus. Chicago gives three regiments
of infantry, two batteries of artillery, and
$500 900 to support the movement; Detroit
gives one regiment, 100 bbls. of powder, and
$50, 200; Buffalo one regiment and 500, 900,
&C., footing upover 10000, men, Is or 20 bat
teries of artillery, and several millions of
money, all declared to be in actual readiness
on the 18th inst. . ..... .---
How much reliance is to be placed in all
this is hard to tell but ne thing is quite GER
tain, and that is, that Canada is fully per
suaded of the reality of the threatened inva,
zion. The utmost excitement prevails
throughout the provinces. The entire militia
sre rapidly being armed. and some $4,000
volunteers are mustered and ready, with
Railroad trains all strung aat and fired up,
to move the volunteers with all expedition to
whatever point may be attacked So great
is the pauic III Canada, that families along
the border are moving by hundreds into the
interior; runs have commenced upon the
Canadian banks and these institutions are
restricting discounts 10 well,approved custom

erai securities. The Government has taken
possession of the telegraph lines, meeting
Of parliament is on the eve of being sum-
moned; and orders are daily expected to be
issued suspending the writ Of haJeaS corpus.
What adds to the trepidation in Canada, is
that the country is full of Irish residents who
sympathse with the invaders, and even the
fidelity of hnndreds of the regular army and
local volunteers is deeply questioned.
From the other side Of the wa;er-Irelaud
i,self-the reports are scarcely less exciting.
There is no doubt but the grea, mass Of the
population is infected with Fenianism but

he proceedings OF congress during the
past week we re of nature not to furnish
u aterial for an interesting daily synopsis
The bill for the admission of Colorado as
a state was rejected in the Senate on the
18th, the vote standing IA to 81. 1t was
warmly oppo sed by Sumner, his ostensible
objection being that Colorado had not sui.
6cient population to entitle it to represent
| alive in Congress, and that the territory had
actually receded in population during the
past two years; the real objection Of Mr..
| Sumner, however, was the vote of that
territory least summer against negro suffrage.
| Nearly every member has offered his con>
stitutional amendment; that of Senator
Yates was, that no state or territory shall
| hereafter recognise any distinctions as to
race or color either as regards civil or politi
cal rights, including the right of suffrage.
The amendment was voted down by the
Senate to SO.
| On the 18th, the Senate instructed the
Judiciary committee to report four amend
ments to the constitution, as follows: first.
second, basing direct taxes on the value of
property; third, pledging the faith of the
Government to the payment Of the national
debt; and fourth, prohibiting payment for
| slaves.
