| THE WESTERN IDEA.
Hr. John F. Finnerty, t he principal of the
Chicago delegates, speaking for bis colleagues,
! states that the impression that they are fac

Wiling ~ General Q'SeiA ID to strike Canada,
| and Furthermore believe and assert that Gem
esal John O'Feil! Is an honest man and dssl-
ing and brave soldier; but they are arcrsc to
the sacrifice OF life in = forlorn hopo without
chance Of success They state that, in their
opinion, = raid at the present tino would DO

the Canadian people or render themselves in
imical TO the United States Government; but
they wish it distinctly understood that, after

portion Of the Feni4n brotherhood. declared
srnphAticaily against any step on the part of
this Congress which might imperil it's hopes
in the present and dsfeat its aspirations in the
future. He, for one, would not protest

to any useless sacrifice Of life; aud. Us repre-
senting the main portion Of tho Feniau BROTH.
