| FENIAN BROTHERHOOD, TREASURY DRPART-
| MENT, No. 80 EAST SEVENTEENTH STREET, Febru-
ary l2.-My Dear Secretaly:-A Convention of
the ORANGE Societies of the Canadas is announced
| 10 be held in your city under the ban OF English
| Law, and is VIGOROUSLY used as an instrument OF
brethren of the Provinces. A collection Of
| ton with its past history and the armng
OF its allies in Ireland, will materially
| excite the anxious interest OF lrishmen every
where, and nowhere more than in the United
States. 1t will revive recollections which should
| be buried, and excite passions only too eager for
| such an evidence of tanaticism beyond our ron
| tier. In every point of view ii is an ILL judged
| lnroad on the internal peace OF your people, and
| constructive menace to the feelings of good
| neighborhood, sought to be preserved for them
| in this country under adverse circumstances.
Should the convention be held l augur in
creased difficulty. Should it be given up, an
| ticipate recedence of much Of the indignation
created by the st. Albans raid, former Orange
| outrages, and late proceedings OF Gowan q Co
i
for the ell-dsposed, orderloving OF Canada to
| see that the Battle of the Boyne, with new ac-
cessions, be not reproduced? They who conti-
nue. or couLtenance an Old World feud on this
continent, cannot object if extraneous elements
attempt reversal of the Old World decision.
Depend upon it, however we Irish Americans
favor seltgovernment north Of us, and reprobate
tendencies hostile to it, we are determined to
encourage our countrymen to any extent whcn
may prove necessary for their protection against
extra-iudicial intimidation or fanatical violence.
| They shall not be insulted or injured in their
class character with impunity we looking on.
Assaults on them are assaults on u.s. and out of
our strength we shall spare enough to protect
! their weakness.
address you, my dear sir, with view Of call
ing your at euuon, as a local magistrate OF
OTTAWA, to the gross intelcity OF this Orange
gathering. Your ass citation with the Irish ee-
ment is further and better reason. While we
are repressing the spirit OF filibusterism here it
is surely not too much to ask that your popula-
ton meet us in like mood, and repress their
fanatics and strife sewers. Be this as it may,
reciprocity of feeling must take the place of com.
mercial reciprocity, or there will be more OF
warning than of comfort in the future history OF
the Provinces.
Hoping to see you soon, am, dear sir, very
respectfully, yours, B. DoRAN KILLIAN.
To James Goodwin, Esq, Alderman, city oi
