The proclamation is also virtual notice TO the
Dominion Government, that it can resort to
the most summary and vigorous measures IN
its punishment of the men who endeavor to
invade its territory, kill its citizens and des-
troy their property. Every Fenian taken IN
arms by either government may expect to be
considered and treated as an outlaw. And
there is food for serious reflection in the
thought
