oa. Thursday lassthe trial of the Fenian Triissners was commenced in Canada Rob- ssrt B.'Lyndh was4ied, convicted, and sen- tensed to<sbe hung. His defense was that he only acted as newspaper reporter and not as a Fenian soldier. On Friday David B. Lumsden was arraigned for trial but on reuuest -of.ronnsel his case was postponed till November Sd. John. McMahon, catho- lie Rfiheaas wis then fried, sonyicted;and sen. 'tenced o-be hung. It was claimed by his counsel that he was acting under compul- sion having been seized and detained by the Fenian invaders.
 The Tammany General Committee have passed resolutions calling on our Govern ment n P to retaliate in case the Fenians con- victed are executed Secretary Seward has addresseda letter to the British Minister requesting a postponement of the execu- lions and suggesting liberal treatment of convicted lFenians. The; Fenians have been holding various meetings in which they th@eaten @ vengeance If any of their number are executed. g. E,.-, XXI 7.
 Mir Lumsden, above mentioned, is an Episcopal minister and gentlemen well known in this county. He is a scotchman by ahittha graduated at Trinity College Hartford in l847 and after a lapse of some years vas ordained minister. In 1861 he was preaching in Plymouth and in the win: ter.folloWing delivered one of g course of lectures in this village which was very highly igghhlly spoken, of by all who heard it. He is all effepfiye speaker, his slight Scottish accant and earnest diction, lending an additional charm to discourses by no means wanting in originality of thought.

Equality Of REPRESENTATION.

I Us
Mr.. MANSFIELD contributes an able
article to the Cincinnati Gazette, ex
posing the injustice that will be done
the Northern States by the rejection
of the Constitutional Amendment now
pending before the various State
Legislatures. We copy an extract
from it that our readers may see why
it is the so-called Democracy of the
United States array themselves against
the amendment with such zeal and
bitterness. Mr.. MANSFIELD argues
that the Democratic party, under the
leadership of rebels, are made to
oppose equal representation. He pro-
poses to prove this by the speeches of
VOORHEES,, VALLANDIaHAM, McDoN-
AID, etc., as we'll as by the fact that
although the Constitutional Amend
ments have been ratified by the Leg
islatures' of New Hampshire and Con
necticut, in both States the Demo
cratic party Uoted solid against them.
He then proceeds as follows:
Now let us see the effect of it. The
Constitutional Amendment simply
proposes to make the coters the basis
of representation, while the Demo.
cratic party want to make the negroes
| Gas well as whites) aoithom ootrs, a
basis of representation. Is that what
you call white mans government?
Is that Democracy? Let us see how
it works. The ratio OF representation
is in round numbers, 10000. The
following is table showing the effect
of the white and negro basis respec-
lively of the eleOen rebel States, viz:

line and tell the boys it was Libby

In the early part of the fight he was
supporting the 18th Ohio, and when
the break occurred he sprang to his
feet and at the top of his voice, (any
one who has heard him command can
form an idea of the tone) he called
" dt-TEN-TION SD Indiana Re
member your State. Don't disgrace
it. Charge bayonets, forward, double
quick, give them Hill" No one
will ever tell with what desperation
the SD fought against fearful odds
until Hunter saw he must retreat or
all be captured. Nearly one-third of
his gallant regiment fell in less than
ten minutes, but it checked the enemy,
and for a moment set them in confu-
sion and enabled our troops to par
TALLY rally further to the rear.
Hunters whole soul was in the
cause, and regardless of personal dan
ger on that bloody field he earned
anything, and more than the people
will ever give him. Colonel, we are
for you against any one. Success.
Gen. HUNTER is the Union candi-
date for Congress in the Third dis
trict. His opponent is one of the
gentlemen who declared the war a
failure" and used all his influence to
make it so. 1t is for the voters of the
Third district to declareswhieh man
represented them during the war.

Neg tations are going on with great Sc

the object of producing reapproachment

There is great excitement in the Blue

In our Geographic columns this morn
ing we have some details of the late mill
tary Instruction against the crown and
government of Spain at Madrid and Genoa
on the I'D and 23d ult.
A large body of peasants joined the in
surgents in Madrid, to whom the soldiers
distributed arms, and formidable barri-
cades were thrown up in front and around
the military quarters. It took the Queens
troops five hours, in hot engagement, to
recover the position. Over one hundred
ofthe insurgents were killed and wounded,
and the Royal troops experienced heavy
loss. Two thousand persons were ar
rested, and some of them shot at Madrid.

REPRESENTATIVES to the American
Congress, to oUTVoTE ONO AND IND
lana! Look at it straight, fellow
citizens. See here:
Representatives of Ohio and Indiana.....30
Representatives of Negroes in rebel
states .........'' LOU
South Carolina, on the Democratic
plan, is to send tg00 representative of
white men and four Representatives of
negroes! and these negroes have no
votes; so that six Beauregards or
Wade Hamptons, reeking with the
blood of the loyal brave, will come
into Congress who have only white
constituents for two, to balance six
representatives of Indiana represent
ing three-fold the whole white popu
latlon of South Carolina! Has Eng
land rotten borough more conspicu-
ously aristocratic and unequal than
these rotten boroughs which the
Democratic party are now attempting
to maintain as the sequel of the war?
Now, if these rebels want to. get
thirty representatives honestly and
fairly, they have only to adopt the old
H., j y Al
frage. It is true they will then have
their thirty negro representatives, but
those Representatives will have con-
stituency. They will not represent
rotten boroughs. If those States
adopt universal suffrage it will be
their own deliberate choice. 1T will
be done by rebel votes. We cannot
prevent this. We concede that we
have no constitutional power to in
terfere But we have a constitutional
right to demand equal representation.
We have a right to demand that Ohio
and Indiana shall not be voted down
in Congress by men who have no con-
stituents. 1t will be an outrage on
popular rights. 1t will be section
alism, far exceeding anything yet at
tempted, to give the late Confederate
States thirty representatives, who have
no constituents 1t is for you, Demo-
Gratis, to say whether the Democratic
party shall be made the most aristo-
cratic party of the country-whether
the noble States of Ohio and Indiana
be politically neutralized and destroy

We observe by our exchanges that
Col Morton e. Hunter, formerly of
the SD Indiana, is candidate for
Congress on the Union ticket in the
Bloomington District. We hope he
will be elected. At the battle Of
Chickamauga, when the break took
place on the right, Col. Hunter was
the FIRST officer we saw that out-ranked
US who was engaged in rullying the
troops, and when we run up to him
and asked him to assume command,
as he was the ranking officer, we will
never forget his look of surprise
when he asked where the generals
were? Surprising, as matter of
course, they were helping to rally. Col.
Ii. took command, and by his order
the troops rallied, representing about
fifty reg ments, first took possession
Of, and held the point, Gen Thomas
afterwards gave the command to hold
at all sacrifices. Col. Hunter had
about one hundred men of his regi-

be found in the tn ckest of it. He

an order directing the heads of the
