Ecuianism No. 2.

Mn. EDITOR Il have read with great
pleasure, a Gerry sensible and weltimed
article, signed Philos," in your last
issue.
think that the subject touched on by
/" Philos deserves more serious consid-
Grafton than Americans have hitherto
given it.
That the wicked designs of Fenians
against the peaceful inhabitants Of Cana
da, have been fostered by the Ecumeni-
cal Council, no thinking person can doubt.
A very significant fact is, that the Fe-
mans and their mad and wicked projects,
were never heard of before the sitting of
this Council
"Philos with great erudition, points
out some of the terrible calamities that
befel the world through the Vaccinations
of the Council of Trent: by 1.-THE in
trigues in France and Spain :" the
campaigns of Walenstein :" the thirty
years war in Germany" He might east
ly have sweled the catalogue, by the adj
dition of the Infamous position of Poland:
the escape of Napoleon from Elba the
plague which nearly depopulated the two
great Protestant cities Of Liverpool and
London; and other woes too horrible to
mention, which can as easily be traced to
the Council of Trent, as Onion River or
Otter Creek to their primal sources.

They see now that the principal cause
Of the failure of the late diabolical at
tempt to disrupt our Union, was that dur

obliged to act on the defensive. They
see their homes desolate and their land
laid in waste, owing to the fact that thu
war was waged in their own country,
Now, if the Fenians ruled in Canada
(being of the same political faith as thu
late rebels) they could and would atfor(
