The Irish Awaiting the Day OF ven-
genncc.

The Irish Awaiting the Day OF ven-
genncc.
A recent number of the New York
FreemGn'S Journal says:
England is no longer a first class power.
The recent demonstration of Irish senti-
ment, of which Fenianism has been the
exponent, shows that hoary old sinner
among the nations what she may look
for If she ever dares to 20 to war with
France. The Killian blunder of an at
tack on Brunswick, and the failure of the
Canadian raid, while they showed the in
competency Of the Fenian leaders, evil
denced, at the SAM time, a sympathy far
wider than the Fenian organization, on.
the part of the Irish blood and Irish race,
to be the particular avenger of all nations
on the per6dy of England. Whether
England goes to war against France, or
France and Austria-both OF which ma
tons have ever fostered and promoted
Irish genius and gallantry-the sentiment
Preluded by Fenianism will take practical
shape. Young Irishmen, sustained BY the
moral and material support of others of
their race, will go in myriads to enlist un-
der the nation whose banners will gather
for doom round the rimy coast Of the per-
fdious island! We do not advocate what
has been amiss in the Fenian organization.
But patience and sustained courage can
bring good out Of evil. A legitimate war
Upon the harlot Of nations will give to
Irish organizations a base Of operations
that no Seward at Washington can avail
to oetray To the country that goes to
war with England the daring adventures
OF Ireland can troop. from the United
States, from Spanish America, from all
the islands of the ocean, and from all the
lands to which Irish exiles have carried
the story to their offspring Of the wrongs
through centuries has done to
Ireland. England. this year or next, goes
to war only to seal her final destruction q!
That is, If Irish love of retributive justice
only knows how to bring such q good out
If the blunders of Fenian " leaders,"

United Statesi If 90, how I'M
der the very language OF these
clauses mentioned above, prescribing
the qualifications Of Representatives ana
Senators. could such a person claim that
he was qualified to take q seat in either
Housei And il such a person has not
lost or forfeited his citizenship, could not
Congress pass an Act under that clause OF
the Constitution mentioned above, declar-
ing that "Congress shall have the power
to declare the punishment Of treason
disouslifying such persons as members OF
either House Of Congressi I think it
could. But the proper view to take OF
those clauses Of the Constitution men
toned above, declaring the qualifications
of Representatives and Senators in Con-
Rress is that it was intended by these
clauses to limit Representatives and Sena-
tors to certain classes Of persons, to-wlt :
| citizens Of the United States, over q GER
tain age and inhabitants Of the States in
which they shall be chosen, and not to
prescribe each and every qualification Of
the Representative or Senator. This ia
shown by Section s Of Article /, clause l,
which says that "each House shall be the
Judge Of the. Elections, Returns and
Qualifications Of It's own Members" and
(clause p with the concurrence of two
thirds, expel q Member" I think under
these two latter clauses Congress, or rather
each House of Congress, has entire and
exclusive control and jurisdiction over
the subject of the qualifications Of its own
members. There are some other deduc-
tons or conclusions said to land some
which do) result from this doctrine Of the
States being in and not out Of the Union,
and as such entitled to all Of the rights,
the dignity and equality of the other
States in the Union, which we propose ex-
amining in future articles. For this is the
most, or one of the most dangerous
rocks upon which the Union party
is likely to split, and the point upon
which probably hangs the destiny and
very existence Of our present form OF
Government, for as the President says our
system or form of Government can be as
effectually subverted or changed in time
Of peace and by peaceable measures, as in
time of wal and by war measures.

ABOUT FUNDAMENTALLY chivalrous

ABOUT ToURNANENTs.-The chivalrou:
feelings of some of our Southern cava'
lier, are again finding vent in "tourna.
ments." OF these tournaments a mos,
ungallant Southern editor says that they
consist in q parcel of awkward fellows
trying to poke a stick through a ring sus-
pended by a cord" The successful knight
gains the prize, which is, according 10 the
edis,r, "a nosegay Of roses or other vege-
tables, presented by the Queen Of Love
and Beauty. He then goes on still more
ungallantly to explain how this fashion
able tournament is but a modification OF
an old game called "Hookem S~nevey,"
with the difference that in the former the
gentleman tries to poke a stick through a
ring, whilst in the latter he tries to throw
the ring so that it will hang upon a hook
fastened in a wall.

POLITICAL cHARAcTERIsT1oso H
THE LIFE OF JESU9'

The Raw Dr. Furness recently deii'-
cred an address before the DIVINITY 1
a, Cambridge, on the character Oh Jesus
the study Of which, he said had oeeh d
.-...;or with him ever since he was a stu
den, under Professor Norton. The point
vbich he endeavored to make clear was
this: tha, i, was only amid the free insn-
,u,ions of the United States that His char
scter, felt to be the most remarkable OF all
in history, could be understood or appre-
c;.ted, Neither France nor Germany, nor
even England, he thought, could, from
the aristocratic nature Of their institutions,
produce many men capable Of rightly es-
timating such q character, because its es-
sential and central feature was an intense
love Of nature. This He exhibited per-
fsctly, and above all other beings, so that
He had more in common with each one OF
US than any Of US have with n another.
He examined the mythical theory OF
Strauss, the more political life Of the Sa-
vior given by Renan, and the still more
recent attempt by a distinguished German
divine to illustrate His character. AS the
essence Of democracy and its great expo
nent, he thought it was the first III moi
only) here that His words would come &c
be fully understood, and His character
thoroughly appreciated. Our own recent
civil war he considered as a sort Of coun-
,erpars to the struggle of Christianity dur
ing the early ages. Upon that most re-
cen. estimate Of the character of the Sa-
vior, "Ecce Homo" he was not prepared,
he said, to comment further than to say
that its remarkable popularity, coming
after Remains, was a proof Of the intense
interest in the subject, and showed him
that the destiny of nations was remarka-
bly, involved in a correct appreciation Of
this the most wonderful character Of all
history. There was but little that would
be regarded by other denominations as
sectarian in the address, while the pro-
found, earnest love and reverence which
the study Of his subject had let, in the
speakers mind was 50 evident as TO lead
to the hope that a day of better under
standing was approaching, when the bear
ing Of Christianity upon human society
would be better understood, and, at least,
this wise use made of the biographies of
Him which have come down to os. If,
instead Of serving as the basis Of dogma
and dispute, they might awaken in all a
mora intense love Of that which is natural,
human and ~elevating, of which He is the
great exemplar, perhaps all denomina-
tions would eventually receive a higher and
more divine view Of his character than is
commonly taken.

RID Doc PROBABLY DEsTRoYED.-The
Nevada Gazette, Of August 10th, gives
the following, from which the presump-
ton arises that Red Dog, in Nevada
county, has been destroyed by FIRE:
Rev. s. V. Blakelee arrived in town
about half.past six last evening. He
says that when he reached the top of the
hill this side Of G~reenhorn. he looked
back and saw the own enyeloped in
flames. The town so is situated that a FIRE
once under way could not be checked,
and the entire place must have been de-
stroyed. Red Dog contained some forty
or FIFTY houses, and a population Of two
or three hundred.

NIB. Forrest.

A Writer in the August number of the
Land zoe Love, IN an article on the char.
acter of Lieutenant General N. B.
Forrest, gives the following estimate of
him:
His, character as a whole was a union
of that Of Lannes and Suchet. With
the impetuosity of the first he united the
cautious calculation of the second. He
well weighed the probabilities and count.
ed cost of every paa. When the time
tor action came he was as terrible as a
thunderbolt. With the qualities OF the
marshalls in the respects named he uni
ted to the fxedness Of purpose, the te-
nacity of Massena. His doggedness Of
resolution was proverbial. 1t was like
the, grasp of death. An undertaking.
was never abandoned unless forced by
orders-a battle never over until won.
The doubts, even the panic Of others,
had no effect to tame his obstinacy of
purpose; but falling back upon his own
iron self.reliance, he was every inch a
man in the darkest hour of the storm.
IL was then, in. the midnight darkness Of
trial, that his genius, like stars in the
night, shone most brightly.
de was accustomed to look upon
nothing as impossible. Bad roads and
the waste Of waters could be overcome
by ut shall be sol" Small numbers,
with rapid marches and concentrated eff,
forts, could destroy indolent superiority.
He was rassionately fond of artillery,
and would stand behind working bat,
terry. enjoying i exercise with all the
glce of a delighted child. Not unfre.
quently has he been known to direct a
section or battery in person. superin-
tending the minutcSt details. Personal
daring in leader, the army never donbt-
ing the fortune and game of its posses.
for, he felt, was the strongest point he
had to gain. With it he appeared to
wear magic glrdle. Not like Alrides =
beyond tho mi ssilo javclius' sounding
fright.
Safe let us stand; and from the tumult far
Inspire the ranks, and rule the distant
war"
Hence, in this respect, lie is without
a pcer'ih the annals Of the revolution.
Leading a charge in person was his ia
vorite pastime. The glory of single
combat he too often courted -oftener
than wisdom justifed-riding like a
young Bedouin, an excellent pistol shot
and sllillful swordsman, with frame Of
great muscular'pcwor, he has with lis
own right hand, won more success than
any other officer Of the war.
