srrgSn OF TIE GOVERNOR GENERAL.
I'm the coJu>e OF the remarks OF the Governor Gen.
eral on the unve,.n. % the monument he touched
upon Fenianism as IOllOwa.--
Time was when the Irish Character was depicted
in far other and less odious color9 o.an those which
It has assumed OF late years-sinca the ,aonitrous
many pathetic tale, such as Miss Edgewor!l useS
to write. and by many powerful appeal, such -
Grattan and Piunkett were competent to deliver
and we believe-that the Irish nature was kindly,
generous and susceptible Of all good Impressions,
worthy guides ana injured and warped by centuries
OF msmanagement. We were tod that errors
would disappear ~, ana rI al cyl be cured BY
cinatory measures. weI fhat advice was
adopted, as think, wisely, in a satesmanlike ana
Christian spirit Two generations have well nigh
passed since the remedial process began-lnk by
Ink tho chains OF oppression have been removed
evoy effort has been made to repair the injuries OF
the past. Some statesmen and jealous philanthro.
plsLs have iabOed In the field Of improvements and
aL this moment ireland stands erect, a. free In all
respects as England or Canada, without vesule OF
inequality rem nnng, either In secular or eccesas
tical matters. Even now great scheme Is under
the consideration OF the imperial Parliament,
and well forward, for placing the relations
affecting land on salts actory footing. This
measure, whose adoption seems certain, Will place
the Cccupiers OF land In Ireland in favorable, If
not favorable position than any similar class
Ing all that has been me, the Fenan niquty still
Its head as II to bring tue Well wshers Of Ire
land TO shame. and balc all the calculations OF wis.,
dom and philanthropy Now, let me not lie mis-
know chat there arc thousands and hundreds OF
thousands untGlntod; but the talnt OF this wicked
folly L. spread too far and too wide. The Fen an
conspiracy exists without single object Ia view
Continuance. Thou.anis as We have seen OF late,
are ready at ils bi idng tn leave behind them
vast country, aDoundinE IN resources, where every
steady, sober iaan can obtain employment and rise
by has own CxGrd0ns to competency and comfort.
They turn away from this fair prospect ana cross
our borders In defiance OF every moral social ana in
teTna ionai obligation and in contempt o. the warn
gs and teachings OF the clergy they were IN better
days wont to revere. They seem TO grGdge the Ca
madam settler the hard earnings OF his honest Indus
ry-the house he has butt, the fields he has cleared
tons Of his own choice, under whicn lie
hores he end his chiliien may prosper.
But ths Canadian setbler has no idea of
weakly yielding himself up prey to the
woud-be conquelors IN military proves as III hon

TWO separate occa 'ions Which, it Is to be hoped,
VIII prove OF lasting impression. one OF the worst

may well be pronounced fieIdish---was, If IL were
