GREAT FENIAN MEETING In

an appeal for Supplies.
RUFFAr.O limo 1e

BUFFALO, June 12.
A grand Fenian mass meeting will be held
here this evening. The meeting is occasioned
principally by the introduct on Of resolution
in Congress yesterday looking to the repeal of
the neutrality laws. This action gives new
life to the Fenian movements, and very en-
thusiastic meeting is expected. The Fenian
Senator, Scanlan. arrived here yesterday. The
revolutionary committee of the Irish Republic
have published stirring appeal to the Irish
citizens of Buffalo, and to all lovers of repub-
lican liberty. The following is an extract:
"Let Irish citizens in particular send in COM
missary stores, such as bread, meat, coffee, su-
gar, &C.; just what each man would like at
home. We want all the money we can raise
for other purposes. What these purposes are
the people can guess. Let no person imagine
the cause is defeated, or that the men who
have sworn to free their native land or die,
will abandon their cause because few over
jealous officials have placed some obstacles in
our way. The voice OF the great American
people is at last hearfin the halls of Congress,
not from single individual, but from the rep
resentatives of thirty millions, and true to
their natural instincts, they raised their voices
roT r,n nvs.--err---AAd- God bless them. They
VIII rouse many an anxious spirit throughout
the world, make tyrants trcnprv-.--tbeir
thrones as the cry goes forth, sAmerica is the
defender of liberty Let the people take heart
throughout the land, call meetings, pass reso-
lutions and pledge their support to the men
who inscribe on their banners, Union is Lib
erty.' Be patient, but work! workl Collect
money, have your men ready, and when the
cry of battle goes forth, let them come as in
dividuals If they cannot come as companies or
regiments"
A large number of Fenians from Malone
have arrived here, having been furnished with
transportation from there to Buffalo by Gen.
Meade. 3e' 81
The citizens are beginning to feel uneasy at
the collection of such large body of Fenians
here, though they have behaved themselves
extremely well so far.
Gen. Barry late yesterday afternoon received
authority to give transportation to Fenians
who desire to go farther west and could not
pay their passage, and on their giving their pa
role not to attempt an invasion of Canada
We understand that very few availed them
selves of this offer. t..t-e
BUFFALO, June 12.
There was large meeting of delegates at
st. James Hall tonight, and a considerable
sum was subscribed to support the Fenians in
town until the action of Congress on the re-
cent resolution is known.
The Fenians generally will not accept trans
portation home from the Government, coupled
with the pledge not to take up arms to invade
Canada.

The Shaker Embezzlement.

Mr.. EDITOR: : In regard to the action
which the United Society at New Gloucester
have taken relative to G. Vining, their late
business agent, it may be proper for the satis-
faction of the friends of both parties for one
who IS somewhat familiar with both to say,
that we believe imperative necessity ror their
own interest compelled them to resort to legal
means.
He had given notice of his dissolution of all
connection with the Society, but not until he
had given notice to parties outside of the So
ciety, of his withdrawal, and was prepared to
proceed Immediately to Chicago, Ill.
The Society, through their proper agents
called upon him for a statement of their finan-
cial affairs, and to deliver up all monies, notes.
his books Of. account and all matters belong
ing to the Society; when it. was discovered
that there was great amount of outstanding
claims with but very little to meet them, and
he refused to give satisfactory account of the
ceived.,c f.-1. l
The Society finding a great deficiency Of
funds and heavy debt staring them in the
face, felt the pressure very severely, as this is
the second time that this same Vining has
been instrumental in involving the Society
very deeply il, debt. The first time was in
1859, wien the brotherhood very literally and
charitably overlooked his fault and honored
his paper which they were inclined to do for
the credit of the Society and to save Vining
and his aecomplice from disgrace.
Donations from their Shaker friends in
western Societies, partially relieved them at
that time, but a portion of that debt still
hangs like an incubus upon them, and now
that a second time it is repeated, they justly
asked satisfactory explanation before he
left the State, which he was about to do; and
no one will blame them, who is friend to
Justice. ,rH e t
