oi Johnny Bulls dominion. ha- hardly
created a ripple among the Nation : law
makers ard the Executive at the
National Capitol. At the issuing al his
proclamation the President did not con-
ccive of possible necessity of provid-
ing the border States with any addition
al military force TO back IL up. and
hence the DELAY for which England feels
/ justified in ccn~uring the honor OF the
Z Administration. From information
hourly received by the Government. We
are warranted III concluding that the
movement was not endorsed generally
by the different Fcnian organizations
throughout the country. but was prln-
cipallv iadHgDrdtoi by a few wonld be
Fcnlan officers oi lame. and SHpPorfef
by the hard earnings OF the Irish servant
