Great excitement prevails everywhere i
this country, on account Of the FcnIan raid
which Is expected to take place shortly. A
the call Of the Government, the whole countr
rose In arms. From Quebec to sarnia, a dis
tance Of not much less than thoosaud miles
the volunteers acw to arms, ready to marcl
. to uny quarter as coon as the word of com
nand was giycn.,- Alauy companies were pre
pared for action in at hour after the telegram
was sent over the wires. The most intcnst
enthusiasm prevails everywhere. tt Is t1t
universal opinion now tAat If your Ausericat
citizens Of Irish descent march "or
to Canada," very few will ever re

But to be little more serious about this stu
pendous swindle, 1t Is expected by nearly all
lruo Canadians, especially by those who sym-
rathized with the North during the late war,
that the American Government will: never
allow hordes of rufl1aus, many Of them worse
than Wild beasts, to leave their country 10
make raids upon the territory Of friendly
nation, especially when that nation has
spent millions to prevent raids by bad and
wicked men wl.o violated the laws OF l,ospi-

Americans often say that there WIS no srm-
pathy LII Canada for them during their trou-
bles with the Sonth, but that Is an entire mis-
lake. The entire religious and liberal press
always sided With the North: The vast body
OF the people did the same, though the rowdy
element at saloons, hotels, railway stations.
