where we can give our moral aid to struggling
republics the world over. The recognition Of
Liberia and HsyH, which he showed impossible
during the old order Of things here, was one Of
the first fruits Of our late struggle which swept
the system Of slavery from our land and made
this country republic, not alone in name, but
In reality. All this having been accomplished,
there was no barrier In the way Of extending
the hand Of fellowship to the republic Of Do
minics, which for years has, alone and unaided,
been contending against monarchical Influences.
Thus 1t is, while we have been proving our
strength at home, our success and prosperity
have encouraged and strengthened the people
everywhere, which will In time result in estab-
blishing republics like our own upon this as
well as the Eastern hemisphere. These govern
ments will como in direct sympathy with us
and increase the moral influence of the whole
system the world over. We already see its
effect in the unsettled and uncertain condition
of nearly all the monarchical Powers of Europe.
1t is seen in the renewed activity and energy
of the Mexicans in their endeavors to resist the
effort to establish monarchy on their soil.
Had we been unsuccessful in our struggle for
the preservation Of the Union, the republic of
Mexico would have gone down.. never more to-
rise, and the crown Of the imperialists would.
have been firmly established at the capital Of
the Montezumas. The clear statement made
by the Secretary Of State in his late journey Of
pleasure In regard to the great progress made
in this country since 1860, will give new inn
petus to republican ideas the world over. The
influence Of those few words will extend farther
and penetrate deeper than all the artful phrases
or cunningly devised diplomatic letters Of his
entire official term. 1t is, in style and charac-
ter, peculiarly American and republican, and
a. such we hail it as an omen Of good. We
trust that it will prove TO be the first step in
inaugurating style of diplomacy more suited
to the character of our institutions, which will
soon supersede the long-winded, circuitous and
unsatisfactory style now in vogue

isin New York, on a I" begging mission. y
He was very intolerant partizan at the
outbreak of the war; but he is now a
changed man. We trust that he will be
successful in raising all the money that
the charity he represents stands in need

discourse at st. Andrews Church, in

Bishop Lynch's discourse
My Brethren: The coming of Christ
our Lord upon earth marks an era in
the history of man. 1t marks battle
which had been in progress for nearly
two thousand years. Up to that time
evil had prevailed among men, but the
children of Adam forgot their fathers
and it required the deluge
to purify the earth. The children Of
man bore within them the signs of fallen
nature, but they soon forgot them and
plunged into all manner of iniquity.
Few men then worshipped the true
God. These men, such as Job and Mel
chisedeck, were among this class; but
the whole mass of men were adorinp

made good. I came here also on the
kind invitation of the clergy, and espe-
cially on that of your honored pastor.
The speaker here alluded to the circum-
stance of seven poorsisters of mercy who
had been four long years in the hospital,
among the sick and the wounded, and
who had been here and received the
generous contributions of the faithful.
He hoped that the day would yet come
when he would be able to repay the gen.
erous acts ofcharity and kindness which
those Christian ladies had received. The
reverend bishop then closed his remaks
by giving bis hearers his blessing.
The church was crowded in every part,
and the sermon, of which the above is
a mere sketch was listened to with at

Mr.. wilson, in his remarks in the
Eenate on Friday, lot fall one suggestion
which cannot be too strongly recon-
mended to the attention of men both in
Congress and outside:
"Unwise words, y said Mr.. Wilson.
"may have fallen from the lips of men
in Congress, from Cabinet Officers and
even from the Executive, but patriotic
an93iberty- lowing people will forget the
unwise words of senators and represent
atives and Cabinet officers and the Pre-
sident, if representatives and senators
and Cabinet officers and the President
will perform deeds that shall cement the
unity of the republic, hedge about and
secure the rights of the laboring poor,
and adopt measures that shall bring peace
and prosperity to the country recently
swept by the storms of civil war;"
The Boston Advertiser says that these
words are characterized by the same
sagacity and practical good sense which,
we take take this opportunity to say,
have marked Mr. Wilson's course
through the whole Of the exciting and
critical movements of the present ses-
sion, and have properly won for him a
largely increased share of the public con-
tidence and respect. Mr.. Wilson per-
forms timely service in thus calling
attention to the real work of the mo-
ment and to the entirely insignificant
character of the side issues, into which
there is SO strong tendency to stray.

duty to beg of you to admonish and

public scandal to religion and an outrage
to the feelings of all good Catholics,

The FENIANs held meeting in Tam
many Hall, New York, on Monday
evening, John O'Mahony, the head
humbug, made the chief speech. The
following sentences closed his remarks !:
We ask you to buy the bonds of the
Irish republic, so that the sinews of war
may be forthcoming soon. If you do
that we will soon cease to trouble Won
for your aid-we shall soon cease to din
the woes of Ireland into the ear of
American people, and the true men of
The Fenian Brotherhood shall sail direct
for the shores of Ireland, and shall either
win her independence or leave their
bones to bleach upon the battle fields.
(Cheers.) We ask you to buy the bonds
(holding up handful of bonds). We
offer you as an equivalent therefor our
lives. If you buy the bonds and assist
us in our glorious work, we shall redeem
them or we shall die.

In his recent letter to The Andrew
Johnson meeting in Nashville, Horace
Maynard speaks in the following terms
of such journals as the Richmond En-
dnainer and the Memphis Aualanche:
"Under a thin disguise of fattering
the President, they assail his friends
who have stood by him all through the
dark years of the conflict, and vilify
those whom they call radicals, meaning
all Union men who oppose their infa-
nous course, and who are now unwilling
that they should again be restored to
power over loyal men. Their venom
affords the strongest of arguments
against their admission to the seats of
your Congressional representation. This
remark applies, with few exceptions, to
the entire southern press. The ideas and
principles of the rebellion are constant
ly instilled by it into the popular
mind.n
