Tho exeitement Of the week i Ne Fenian
demonstration against Canada The dis.
patches q the Esd from NJ York. Buf.
falo, Poughkeepsic. Albany, Rochester,
Montreal and Chicago, give account of the
movement Of bodies of men numbering
from ffties and hundreds up to q, 900.
They are moving north along the seaboart
and northeast from Chicago, Indicating IN
attack betweea,3fontreal and Kingston. II
b believed they are rcndezvousing ct St.
Albans and Rouse's Point, and It Is not i'm
probable that by this time portions Of the
expedition are over the Vermont line ma
king it very unhappy for tho Canadian.
The Montreal government is advised Of the
movement, and although it processes to be
only solicitors concerning Rsilrs Red River
expedition, whichit is anticipated It il the
real object Of tho Fenians to whip, the Ca
nadians north of Vermont are in . state of
excited apprehension unoqualled since 'ce.
Wsja glad to learn that, the United States
officers At Rutland and St. Adams are man .
ifcsting an intrepid determination TO
preserve neutrality and prevent the
movements Of hostile expeditions. From
On attentive study of human nature, and
observation of how singularly imperfect, at
times, is the vision Of philosophic Christian
officials. VIC are led to believe valiant vigi-
lance Of that kind has not hrsn cnnallrd

Lairds 70 build the Alabama and sail it out

These things indicate proper time has now
arrived to again twist the Canadian tail Of
the transatlantic Lion. The kilograms
come simultaneous from along tho entire
north east boundary, and We are inclined to
accept them Is evidence of Z concerted, for
midablc, actual invasion of Canada with in.

Not knowing the purpose Of the Fenians,
we venture no predictions as to the result

Nor, are the walls of Windsor liable to

lage. Ireland will not be happier that Can
ada is laid waste with torch and sword,
but possibly the happiness Of Ireland is
not SO much an object as the discontinue
of England. Between the sentiment for
annexation, and the Winnipeg instruction,
the Canadian Government has all the trou.
BILE it can conveniently dispose OF, md the
Fenians have chosen an oppertune time to
increase ito distress. They can unquestion-
ably give the Red River insurgents suf]-
Gent strength to hold the Winnipeg coun-
try against tho Dominion expedition, and
the eastern demonstration may be but q
feint to cover move in that direction. It
10 certainly the most reasonable theory Of
the invasion, for, however pre.disposed,
our Government will necessarily have to
take cognizancs Of this movement shortly
and suppress It. willie stampede Of civil
isns into the Pssnbins country would not
involve that duty. In either case We may
anticipate lively news from over the border
