Justice TO Fitz John Porter.

It has always been our full persuasion
that, with exception, perhaps. CT Mcclellan
himself, the most conspicuous victim CT
abolition injustice and malsvolence, Of al!
the officers of the army who suffered for being
the friends Of Mcclellan, was Fitz john
Porter. He was. indispu,ably the attest
engineer in the army. and the war developed
no ADLER general. When tn. compaiSn Of
Hal!eck and Pope, however, ended 80 dis
as.rou.ly, it was necessary 70 find some
scapegCat upon whom to saddle at least
portion of the s:upeudous blunders Of that
campaign. Pope. with hi, usual reckls's
audacity and mendacity, for this purpose,
invented the fiction that III. cause OF the
overwhelming second Bull Run defeat was
the failure of Porter to turn Jsck.ons right
on the night Of the 24,f, bsfore jackson had
been joined b. Longstreet. Porter in defense
! insisted that Jackson had been Joined by
Longs.reet on the oath. and that the order
had come too late, while Pop. asserted the
| opposite. Porter was court martiAled on
this charge and dismissed the service.
Well, it now appears, from history Of the
army Of the Potomac, JUS, Published by Mr.
Swintou: the special war correspondent OF
the New York Times, and who was with the
army Of the Potomac during the whole war,
that Porter was right in this matter and
Pope and the Cour. Martial wrong. Mr.. Swim
ton has got hold of the official letters, papers
orders, reports, &c, of Gen. Lee, and from
these it is demonstrated beyond the po.sibil>
~ Of cavil or dispute, that Longstreet did
JOIN jackson on the Oath, and. consequently,
when F orter received the order to attack
Jackson's right, both Jackson 4 Longstree,'s
Wit ole armies were in front of him, and would
have annihila him in no time.
Such u revelation at this tine cannot bu.
| BE- gratifying to Gen. Porter's friends, but
the i-refutable facts brought 10 light by Mr..
! Swinton were not needed for the defence Of
Gen. Porter with all right minded intelligent
men. Reverdy Johnson's review of Joseph
Holts review Of the evidence amounted to a
demonstration tina. the verdict Of the COM
mission was in fragrant violation Of the evil
dence in the case. Mr.. Lincoln in approving
the sentence acted upon Hol;'I review, and
Holt pe.tifogged tho case under Stan,on's d.
rectlon. The dismissed Of General Porter
from the service was disgrace to the gov
eminent. 1t was proof that in those times
the mos: exalted public services would aot
avail to protect those who rendered them
from the personal and partisan hatred of the
administration.

FEs,ANs.-The Fenian5 had an immense
demonstration q. Jones' woods, near New
York, on Tuesday, in honor of Head Centr-
Stephens, who recently arrived from Europe.
Stephens made forcible address, giving a
history of the Fsnian movement He said
he had had bu. little money from this coun>
try, and the hsar;-burnings and scandals here
we're such a. could only be compensated BY
Irish Liberation. They only wanted money.
Ireland had done ten times As much As
America in that way. IF Grea, Britain had
become engaged in tine Danish war, it was
their purpose to have then taken arms.
Only the O'Mahony faction thus far ac>
Anowledged the Organizer, as Stephens is
called. The Roberts men yet stand aloof.
These men number thousands, and Tiers IL
supposed to be but little prospee. Of a perfec,
union, even upon the question Of national
sovereignty The examination of the Treas
ury Of the O'Mahony men, by the direction
Of Stephens, shows that only $500 remain
but by selling the lease Of the Union Square
Head, Quarters, the sum of 81 900 could be
obtained There is deficit Of $50, 900, which
none of the men who ought 20 know the fac,i
will explain.

The Midnight cahal that governs the Re-

publican voters az are in favor of excluding

ton arises, whom do they wish to include in

Acceptance of the word, "traitors" in this
country means those persons who have at

ment or " confederacy.H
Now there is no doubt brt quite large
number of people i, the southern states have
lately made saca an attempt, and we can
readily comprehend that the ~. l.. A."
includes these in the category Of those whom
they would have excluded from congress.
But then, some years ago there was also .
rebellion in Massachusetts, and the legisla-
ture of that state in vited all the Nsw,England
states to meet in convention at HARTFORD
to adopt measures for seeding from the
union and forming a "NEw EyGLAND Cox
FEDERAcY" in opposition to the government
of the union.
Then later, in 1916, the legislature OF
Massachusetts actually did adopt q" ordi>
nance of secession /; for they declared that il
Texas should be admitted into Union they
should consider Massachusetts absolved
thenceforth from all obligations to obey the
constitutions and laws of the U. s., and tina,
| reasonable ordinance has never been re.
peated More than that, IN 1858 1t was re-
affirmed, by the passage of a law. making 1t
a crims in Massachusetts to obey certain
law of congress, or any other law OF
congress, in conflict with law O.
Massachusetts,. And Sumner and Wilson
and Banks, and probably every other repre-
sentative in congress now from Massachusetts
voted in favor of these secession ordinances
and reasonable laws.
