A LESSON FOR THE FENIANs. In censuring
this miserable Fcnian business of invading
Canada, one cannot rcprGss feeling oil pity for
the hundreds Of simple hearted Irish cnthusl-
asts who have been led into it. These poor
men arc not poltroons and stockholders. Officer
eddy men Of brains and courage they would not
belle. as they seem to have done in the wretch
cd f1tScoS that We have. been chronlring for
some days, the reputation that lrshmen have
earned all over the world for gameness in bat.
tlc The only cheering thing In all this record
is the hope that it affords that the Irish poo.
pic Of America will be SO disguised with Do
ninion raids that they will never attempt one
again. it il necessity of the case that the
50 called generals who und rrtato 90 loau
thcn, on~,-a tl.u UuruCr are always lncOmpc-
tent. No military man OF any sense or expe-
ricnce would head 4 rabbIe OF recruits in an ex-
petition against Canada. Such an invasion
would not be practicable without force of at
least so COO seasoned troops, well armed aud
equipped and attended with an abundant CON-
missariat. For any man pretending to be
soldier to advls, such attacks on Canada as the
Fenians have now three times made, is proof
that in military pont Of view, he isan ignor-
anus and charlatan.-Nc1C York .jOurnoi OF

To the additional article to the treaty for the
annexation Of St. Domingo, which the Pres'-
dent recently sent to the Senate, he adds his
reasons for desiring its ratification, and presses
the "acquisition" very urgently and warmly
He says that St. Domingo commands the en-
trance to the Caribbean sea, that 1t Is most
valuable and productive, that it will open vide
market for our manufactures, that Its posses
sion by the U. S. would assist in bringing
about the abolition Of slavery in Cuba, Porto
Rico and Brazil. &c .er No th'7E' '"". -
vii viii hetp to restore our "lost merchant ma
rine," that it would aid in extinguishlng Our
public debt that it would signify an adherence
to the Monroe doctrine and, in fine, would be
ga rapid stride" towards ''greatness." All the
arguments heretofore used in favor OF the mea'
sure are reiterated We think that it is quite
likely the acquisition will be made Whether
the result anticipated by its friends will &c
realized,i another matter.

Why is it that we hear of no outrages in

is it the people in those Counties are 50

SECESSION.

We (the senior stated in our late gree
ting. that We opposed Secession. A friend
Or two have subsequently reminded Us that
prior to practical secession We held that
State bad the right 70 withdraw from the
compact, for good cause. This i true
and 20 held Horace Greeley, Judge Chase,
Ben. Wade, and the State Of MaSachu-
sets. But while We conceded this rescry-
ed right to a State, we invariably depre-
Gated its exercise, as being tantamount to
jumping out ofthe frying pan into the fire.
Our friends are no less eognizant Of this
fact. And when the popular voice clam
ored for secession We clamored against Il,
a. unwise, uncallcd for and suicidal. For
this we lost many secession snbscribcrs--
most 81 whom lodged the musket when
the the blast Of the bngle sounded the
cry ito annsr' And the files Of our pa
per will show that secession terminated al
most precisely as We predicted.
Why did we believe in the right Of
State to scccde? Because no sane man
held that this Government was consolida-
ton. Because Washington conceded the
right Of State to withdraw, when he
warned the people against il in his Fare
well Address. Why should he warn the
States against that which they had no right
70 do-against an iinpo~ibilityS Because
we inherited the doctrine from the tenor Of
the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions,
drawn up BY the hands foremost In framing
the Goyemment-Dfadison and Jefferson.
And because Virginia and New Yrk both
expressly reserved the right 10 withdraw
when they became members Of this Union.
For these and other reasons, Chief Justice

How many parties in this State?

How many parties in this State!
Is there any we'll organized political par
ty in the State? We trow not. What do
we find? Here a party, there a party.
Most every man politician after his own
order of thinking. There are too factions
in the State. Both radical. If we are to
believe these factions there is really no ma
terial point Of difference between them.
Both profess to be loyal; both to endorse
the reconstruction laws; both to accord to
the negro his right to vote and live as ci-
tizen. Why then the cause Of this wrang-
ling? Because they are both radical. The
one faction has the spoils, the other wants
them. And the State would not be whit
more pro6ted out the hands of the one, than
it would be ia the hands of the other. For
both are radical. Both proscriptiye and
tyrannyzing and as blind as bat in their
policy. From one Of these factions-the
one now in power-may the Good Lord de-
liver us We believe liz will do It. And
that soon these noserags Of ignorance and
depravity who even make the devil cock his
nose at their sinking monstrositics-
will soon be driven BY the voice Of an
honest and indignant people to the tumblins
in their wallows of mire along with the hogs
that have cracked acorns in the woods fol
the last two years without the fear of these
legislative hog-rubbers before them.
The other faction is as equally certain Of
destruction. The air Is already red hot
with thunderbolts Of sound and fury forged
at the bellows Of prejudice and passion
And the working people are painting to gei
to cool place where they can cool of thi
artificial heat and see the sunlight Of pcac,
Justice DreaK through the storm clouds o
