commend the sentiments Of the letter to-
our friends:
You and your readers are already aware
that Fenian circle has been organized
here, recognizing John O'Maloney as thei.
leader, and believing Roberts to be wrong.
Fenianism, like any ether ism, has caused
great excitement, and is now agi,ating ths
country, and creating great alarm and ap-
prehension in Canada and perfidous old
England. At this time it is proper fur
every true Irishnan to be outspoke en- in his
sentiments. whether he is for or against
the present remarkable movement Of his
ceuntrymen.

interests Of the Irish people at heart. l

doing and will do Ireland more harm than
good. am no prophet; yet say If the
independence OF Ireland is ever to be
gained by John O'Mahony or Roberts, Em.
mett's epi:aph will never be written
know it is harder to prove statement
than to make one, but this requires only
little to prove it. There arc but few Lad.
ing men now in Ireland, il there are any,
who can be relied upon to conduct such u
movement. And as for the American Irish
leaders they are to, well known to the
public through their dissraceful quairels
and unpatriotic condemnation of each
other. British spies and Irish traitors are
among them here, while the vile informer
plies bis vocation in Ireland, aud the hos
tile Orangemen are on the alert 10 pun.
sh those spies and traiters as they deserve
would legally bs murder, for Ireland has,
no recognized nationality. British gold
can always have Arnolds in plenty; still
there is no punishment. tor they have con-
spired against no government. Under
such circumstances it is impossible that the
movement can be carried on with the se-
crecy necessary for its success.
For my part, | wish to see Fenianism
put dOwn-or at least that vain imagining
that Ireland can be freed from English ty+
ranny by such means. Instead Of this
visionary plan, let US transport Ireland's
oppressed people to the great and beniff-
cent American Republic. Let every Irish
man in America give his aid to take out Of
Ireland all who do not wish to live under
British law. Let them come here. There

and our hate along with it. We want more
brave hearts and strong arms; we want to
