The Freedmen,

We saw large numbers Of freedmen in
town during the recent holidays, and
nsysr before have we seen them looking
so ragged and friendless. They had no
money to enjoy the Christmas with, and
stood about upon the corners and side
walks looking forsaken and pitifal.
Their clothing was in patches, unclesn,
and in many cases SCARCELY covering
their nakedness. They had DO homes
for the present year, no money or Prov,
sions TO live upon, and yet they seemed
indifferent as TO the future.-Hotfy

So, Mr.. Editor, we are not defunct yet.
Last night Clerkenwell trembled. Who
shall say where we may strike next?
1.-THE blood of Allen cries aloud for ven
geance." Blood for blood" is your
motto; you shall have it. England shall
rue the day that she murdered our three
men at Manchester. Even now we are
prenaring zee plenty Of { work. Now for
a lii lie advice: Keep the police at more
respectful distance; or, if not, your
premises, being composed principally of
brick and mortar, may possibly come
tumbling about your editorial ears.
Always recolect that there is another
"force in London beside the police
jorce-that force is the Fenian force,
and a mighty force it will prove, too:
Therefore, take Fenian's advice, and
BEWARE.
