FRIDAY MORNING. JUNE II.
4 Concerted Movement

:he announcement mat ConSen-
ton OF Irishmen who are IN favor OF
.he liberation of ireland and other OBJ
Iects specified, has been called to meet
at Chicago on the 4.h of July, and that
ex Governor Curtin Of Pennsylvania
is to "free his mind on the Alabama
Claims question" at the Philadelphia
banquet, to be given him next Saturday
evening, must be deemed significant in
view of what has already TRANSFERRED res
peciIng the movement among certain
politicians in the East, to organize a
war party. The banquet is of course to
be given in order that Mr.. Curtin may
have the opportunity to "free his mind"
of the perilous stuff that Expresses it.,
and in order that, in the absence OF
other excltements. public attention
may be excited and the war feeling
stirred. The Convention at Chicago, is
designed to enlist the Fenian element
and get it in working order.
We Judge from these and other indi-
cations that a concerted and Systematic
effort is now going on through the
country for the organization of a party

days past we have received from AN
unknown party in New York, success
sively, two carefully prepared letters
on the subject of thu wrongs and inju-
ries suffered by this country at the
hands OF England, with request for
their publication. From that last re-
caived, we make these extaacts:

Here is rs.rAph about the Fe-
mans which is quite significant in view
OF the Chicago movement:
In this latter connection, our Government
may give itself but little trouble, provided it
appreciates, fully, the magnitude of the Fe-
MAR organization on this side OF the Atlantic,
aud the spirit which anlrnates that vast and
powerful body at home and abroad. III

Inent, She cannot consequently, engage,
with any degree of freedom, in a contest
with any great nation, that might divert her
naval AID military resources from her occu-
patton and blockade OF Ireland. as the case
stands. sho has quite enough to do 10 keep

and will consequently LOOK bout her twics

point Of the GOyO'ltt il needs be.
Letters like this are not written and
sent round the country for publication
"lAAOuS purpose L 40 PuAPOSO "a
this case we judge is to help work up
the popular feeling againstEngland to a
white heat and prepare the public
mind TO look with favor on movements,
soon to be developed no doubt, looking
to the annexation of Canada and con-
seIuent war with England.
THE Whe cling, (West Virginia) IN
TELLIGENCER, in recent article, de-
clareu to couple the acknowledgements OF
whites with that of negroes in the Leg
islAture of that State would assuredly
defeat the whole movement, and the
editor SO notified Mr.. Greeley, of the
New York Tribune, by letter Wash.
ReUieIU.
The RcviclO is not accurate. The In
TELLIGENCER made no such declara-
tion ia an "article," "recent' or other
wise. Before the XVIII Amendment
WAS proposed by Congress. we wrote
Mr.. Greeley that ii it was made to
couple universal amnesty for white
rebels with suffrage for blacks, we were
convinced 1t would not be ratified by
the Legislature of this State. But that
was not done and our Legislature did
ratify.
