The evil here complained Of Or feared is a

between Fenisnislu announcing 40 invasc
Of Canada aud the yellow fever project co
cocted in Canada and leveled against Il
wives and families Of men who were ut Il
front fighting for the very existence Of the
country We think not. Had FcniAnis
waited until Canada was engaged in sor
war that required all its available strcngt
and then had plotted, in this country. to i
noculate the women and children Of Cana'
with infected clothing, aud to burn dow
the Canadian cities, sud to rob Canadi,

Fenianism, whatever It may accomplis
has at least tho Inanliness to propose to W
against men. II does not propose to sne
into Canada through the darkness and alo
untraveled Dads, with view OF co,nmittil
robbery or cutting throat, and flying ba
to American soil. Its weapons are mu
kets and bayonets, and not trunks fill
with. clothing from smallpox and yellow
yer hospitals. Its ammunition 10 hone
gunpowder, and not bundles Of match
and walls filed with phosphorus.
We say that all these thing are annou

will invade Canada. We only say that

We apprehend that the government Of t

cles as that from the Gazette would al,no
tempt one to wish that our governme
