The rejection of General Sweeney's NOM
ination as major inthe regular army, by the
radical senate, shows exactly how much sym
patty republicanism has for the Fenians.
For some time congress and the Jacobin
newspapers have affected an overwhelming
regard for Fenianism and oppressed Ireland.
Resolutions of sympathy have been passed in
the house, and propositions looking to the re-
peal Of the neutrality laws have been intro
duced in order to affect the Fenian vote.
The action of the senate in the case of
Sweeney shows exactly how much reality un.
-derlies this pretended regard for the Fenians
Sweeney's offence is, that he was engaged in
the movement against Canada. 1t is not
that he is lacking in courage or ability. He
left an arm in Mexico; and there was scarce
ly battle west of the Alleghenies, during
the late war, that he cannot recall by some
honorable scar. The only possible objection
to him is that he is democrat and a Fen
ian.
1t is not wise policy to attempt to secure
the vote of any class by fattering or cajol
ing them, or pretending an earnest sympathy
where none is felt. Such, however, has been
the course of republicans toward the Fenians
The fact is very apparent in the rejection o
the gallant Sweeney Chicago Times.

was offered q communication Of his sentence

scafold, if he would imphoate JEFF. Davis as
at all responsible for the treatment of prison
ers at Andersonville, which he Indignantly
refused to do.

quarters and the agent moves on. A good
traveller will sell enough to make $4,000 ex-
penses and make large surplus tor his
house. 1t is only by adopting. this system
that Boston keeps other cities from roooing
her of her western trade, and 1000 CONNER !,
cial travellers represent the "City OF Nonons.
Chicago employs $4,000. New York, winch
from its supremacy has no need OF extraor,
binary effort, sends forth 5000 commercial
travellers. Taking other cities IN their reia-
tive proportion, we may reckon that about
10000 men are thus employed an a system
which 80 years ago was hardly dreamed OF.

Ex-Governor Hamilton, of Texas, made a
speech in Washington in which he declared that
the present reconstruction law was failure
becauseth governmenthad not troops enough
to enforce it. The Houston Telegraph says
''the government does not need single
battalion to enforce it. The civil officers of
the states will all execute the law, and be
supported in it by the people, and Jack Ham
ilton knows it right well. The trouble with
him is, that he is not provided for.n

Politically considered, the Russian sreaty

fohncaiiy CONSIDERED, the huSsian treaty,
says the Boston Post, is a measure of large
importance for we know that the Canadas
and the st. Lawrence must one day belong
to theUnited States, and so must the Colum-
bia. England will have to part with her de-
Tendencies as fast as they become strong
enough to go alone, and then they will nat
urally gravitate to the United States. Their
interests and institutions will both bring
them to us, and help swell the great CONT
mental federative family. The Pacific will
not be denied its demands in this particular
by the Atlantic. The Development of each
rests principally with itself, and that will in
duce traffic and commerce such as was
never known in the history of a civilized ma
ton. The more we aid the Pacific in its
largest and speediest developement,th the surer
we are of our own growth and the increase
of our wealth and prosperity. Our views,
therefore, should be continental, rather than
coastwise or sectional, in their character.

From the N. Y. Express.
King George and King Radical.

1t is hardly necessary to recall what has
been done in Louisiana by military COM
mander placed there, and approved by the
secretary of war, under the military recon
struction bill. The authority for this use
and abuse Of power was granted by congress,
and congress is, of course, responsible for
the conversion of the states into, five despot-
isms, and for all the evil consequences to
liberty and Justice which flow from this act.
Such acts, however, impress US deeply with
the order of events in the early history of
the republic. They carry us back to King
George and the Declaration of American
Independence state paper for which radi-
calls profess very great reverence, but to
the real terms and meaning of which they
pay very little respect. The charges made
against the British King were thus, in part
recorded:
"He has refused to pass laws for the aceommo-
dation of large districts of people, unless those
people would relinquish the right of representa-
ton in the legislature right inestimable to
them, and formidably to tyrants only.
ale has made judges dependent his will
also, for the term of their Office and the amount
and the payment of their salaries.
''He has erected multitude of new Offices, and
sent hither swarms of officers, to harass-our peo-
pie, and eat out their substance.
"He has kept among us, in time of peace,
standing armies, without the consent of our leg
islatures.
"He has effected to render the military indie
pendenent OF, and superior TO, the civil power.
ale has combined with others to subject to
a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution and I'M
acknowledged by our laws, giving his assent to
their pretended acts of legislation
"For quartering large bodies of armed troops
among us;
"For imposing taxes on us without our con-
sent; $1,000
"For denying US, in many cases, of the right of
trial by jury;
"For taking away our charters, abolishing our
most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally
the forms ofour governments
For suspending our legislatures, and declar-
ing themselves invested with power to legislate
for in all cases whatsoever"
And it was forcibly added that "a prince
whose character is thus marked by every act
which may define tyrant, is unfit to be the
ruler of a free people"
Now, every one of these several declara-
tons appear as if written for our own day
and time. They are painfully applicable TO
the condition of the south, to the action oil
congress, and to the eternal principles OF
truth. The more we think of what congress
has done, the more we feel amazed that SO
many of our people silently look on, while
the precepts and examples of our fathers are
thus trampled in the dust.

The Railroad.

There are only IS miles in Maine to
be built on the Portland aad Roches-
ter road, aiming at White River juno
ton, and SO miles on the Portland and
Ogdensburgh road, aiming at st.
Johnsbury, and both will certainly be
built if New Hampshire and Vermont
do their part. The Boston Journal
says:
From Portland, west, two new lines
are in contemplation; one, reaching
the State line at Freyburg, up the Sa-
co valley, to extend thence across New
Hampshire to n connection with the
Vermont system of roads, reaching
east from Montpelier. Portland has
Just voted 100000 to aid this line
called the Portland and Ogdensburgh
road. This sum, with the aid to be
guaranteed by the towns on the route,
will insure this line to Conway, form
ing the shortest line to the White
Mountains. The extension of the Port
land and Rochester road, now in ope-
ration from Portland to the Saco riy
Ell, a further distance of fourteen miles
to Alfred, the shire town of York coun-
ty, is already assured by the S250,000
voted by the city of Portland. A fur.
Their sum of $450,000 has been voted
by Portland to extend it to the State
line, as soon as the means are proyid
ed to extend it further, to Franklin,
n. H., where it will connect with the
Northern road of New Hampshire and
thereby complete the connection with
Ogdensburgh.
At White River Junction the North
ern road will connect with new line
to be constructed at Woodstock and
thence to Rutland, forming a connec-
ton with Whitehall, at the head OF
Lake Champlain, and the New York
system of roads. 1t is but two hun
bred miles from Lake Champlain tC
Portland, by this route.
