COMF1LKD XTCKT DAT TOB EVENING TELKGRAPH,
J The New Fenian Movement.
From the Herald.
Thpre appears to be ome apprehension of
another Fenian attack on Canada. A despo"
rate scare exists in the British Provinces in con
sequence of the announcement that a picnic of
l enians is about to take place at Clinton forest,
Bear Fort Erie, and within convenient dis
tance of her Britannic Majesty's possessions.
All Canada is therefore in a state of the utmost
alarm. The military and civic officials at Ot
tawa are exercising sleepless vigilance; tele
graphic couriers are living all over Canada from
Bunrise to sunrise, paying no regard at all to
the comtort or want of rest of the Government
onicials. The gunboats recently brought from
England have, as we are informed, been moved
Tip in the vicinity of the hostilities which, it is
aaid, ntteen thousand Fenians are about to
wage upon a monster chowder, the ingredients
whereof may Include the whole British Ameri
can Provinces, Ironi Canada West to Newlound
land. The volunteers are also called out, and
some three thousand of them will encamp
within sight of the smoke of the Fenian kitchen
in the forest, where the cooking for the picnic
is to be done. The Canadian Cabinet, It appears,
was iri session all day Sunday, and the tele
graph ollices throughout the country were kept
open, so that the "earliest intelligence" of the
iuaiieuintiou ot the picnic mteht be forwarded
to the alarmed Government uud people, volun
teers, regulars, and factotums of the different
towns aud villages all over the Provinces.
Assuming that this new Fenian movement
may mean something serious, we are iustitied
also in assuming that the Fenians will not bo
very much disturbed in their plans this time if
they really intend to throw ntteen thousand
armed picnlcians into Canada. The present
political condition ol this country, including the
actiou ol the conservative element at the
National Convent! n in Philadelphia, and the
desperate appeal which the radicals are making
to obtain the Fenian vote at the coming elec
tions, will be very likely to prevent any vigorous
interference with whatever the Feniaus may
please to. do m the vicinity of Clinton forest.
The opinion prevail among all parties that our
Government has done enough to prove its epirit
of lair play in the receut suppression ot the
Fenian attack at Fort Erie, on the Canailian
frontier, the seizure of munitions arms, aud
rations, and the arrest of the leaders Generals
Sweeney, Spear, O'Neil, and Murphy; and we
doubt whether Seward would now dare, in the
prebeut aspect of political affairs, to play the
same game over apaiu. Even if he was disposed
to do so, President Johnson would probably
have something to say in contravention of such
a policy. Canada and England hav had all the
protection from oar Government that we can
allord to give them. They must now take care
of themselves. The Fenian vote is at present
a bone of contention between the radicals and
the conservatives, and it is not at all likely that
the movements of that boily upon Canada will
be obstructed just now. Besides, Mexico, which
elands on our other lrontier, is falling to pieces,
aud we want our army and pcrjerals in that
quarter. Now is tiie lavorable time, therefore,
lor the Fcaiiane to p,o in and win, and we hepe
they will take the opportunity.
The Good Old Times.
From the Tribune.
'In the peroration of General Dix's speech
before the Randall Convention, he uttered, with
the most melancholy effect, that moan over the
glories of the past which octogenarian stage
drivers unbosom w hen they see a steam engine.
Thcie are many descendants of Mrs. Lot who,
like General Dix, look back in sorrowful regret
aud forward with fear and trembling. To such
people, who arc the salt of the earth in a very
unfortunate sense, General Dix's admiration of
the old republic will be more acceptable than
the faith of better reformers in the future Union.
His sorrow lor the dead Is wasted, as there is no
hope that tears will effect a resurrection, but as
what he says many people are weak enough to
accept without examining, we have a letre to
eee what reason exists tor "'the good old tiiiiH.3."
He called upon the delegates "to bring ba.k
the lepublic, puritied and strengthened bye he
fiery ordeal through which it has passed, to its
ancient piospenty awl power; to present to the
world an example worthy of imitation no Uto
piau vision 01 good government, but the grand
old icaliiy of the better times, bringing up the
memory of our lathers uud the recollections of
the pa3t, with the past and the future iusepara
bly entwined one country, one Hag, one Union
ot equal States." VVhich we call very good,
indeed.
It is the privilege of men who, like General
Dix, have Outlived their political ueluluess, to
babble ot ttc beauties ot the pabt and to expa
tiate pathetically upon the virtues of the fore
lathers. God torbid that we should detract one
Jot or tittle lrom the historical glory of our
country. But General Dix Knows as well as we
do that, from the very commencement of our
national existence, there was anything but
accord on th question of slavery, and that
Biibtequeutly it was constantly intcrleriug with
the peuce and prosperity ot the land. The
trouble was as riie in the Convention of 1787, of
which General Dix speaks so tendeily, as at any
subsequent period. The battle has been waged
ever since, sometimes more aud sometimes less
feicely, sometimes almost subsiding into a
peace, and then raging with renewed fierceness,
but never, in spite of compromises, of truces,
and ot subterluges, has the contest been con
cluded. General Dix knows this, for he b.is
sometimes, been in the thickest of the fray. To
ignore the fact that slavery made trouble
between the fctaies in 1770, again In 177,
again when Missouri was admitted, con
stantly whenever a revenue policy was to be
adjusted or new territory received, is to close
our eyes to nine-tenths of the history of the
country, aud to disregard its most necessary
and important lessons. General Dix almost
swoons io rapture in contemplating "the crand
old reality ot better times," but all well-informed
persons know that all through, the golden era
of the General's Imagination there were dissen
sions and lealousies, and vital disagreements,
which finally culminated in the great Rebellion.
The simple truth is, that the nation is better off
than ever before, as all nations should be after
a political existence of nearly a century, and
will he if they are destined to last a century
longer. We have rid ourselves of slavery legally
established, and we are in a fair way of rildlng
ourselves of the social anomalies which the de
parting monster has left in its trail, including
the poliUcians who have learned nothing and
Cave lorgouen nothing.
There is very Pule analogv between the cir.
eumstances of the country lust after the Revo
lution and Our Condition at the nrMpnt. timn.
Hut suppose, for the sake of illustration, that
Connecticut or Massachusetts had i-emn'mml
loyal to George the Third, and immediately
alter the recognition ot our independence had
Bent delegates to assist in framine a (
tion. We lancy that they might have knocked

nuuiu uaruiv nave Keui lueir tempera u moan
dame delegates bad assumed to dictate the terms
upon which they were to be accorded entrance.
It would have been found, we suspect, that the
dictation, it any, was to come from the other
Bide. If men or States put themselves into a
dubious political position, they inuBt
submit to be distrusted until they have
civen plenary evidence of repentance, and sulD-
l ient aurety of good conduct for the future. If
the late Rebel States persUt in keeping all
political power in the hands of those who are
notoriously hostile to the Constitution and the
Union, they are no more entitled to represen
tation now thnn they were when their swords
Were drawn, their Confederate banners flaunt
ing, and their Rebel ranks in battle array.
Admhwlons of the illegality and wickedness of
the Rebellion on the part of the Rebels are not
so numerouK as to be tiresome, by any manner
of means. To sneak into Congress with patriot
blood still dripping from their skirts, with the
old slaveholding oligarchy still retaining its
pristine power, and still disfranchising nine
tenths of the population, with the leaders of the
Rebellion still eligible to offices of authority
and trust -this seems to be the chief ambition
of traitors retired from active business these
are the immunities w hich they do not so much
ask for as demand, with General Dix for backer !
And should they carry their point, Dccome onie
more a power in the General Government,
dominate once more in the Senate and the
House, and make Congress the supple instru
ment of a scheming and unstable President,
then, we suppose. General Dix will elevate his
voice, and proclaim to all the four points of the
compass that the republic is "purified and
strengthened' that "the grand old reality of
better timos" is restored that we have at last
"one country, one flag, one Union of equal
Slates!"
A country just escaped from mortal peril, and
still with much hard, practical work belore it,
it it would live and prosper, will not suffer itself
to be milled by this most charming exertions of
rhetoricians. The people understand these
matters as well now as they did during the last
Presidential election, and the issues are much
the same. The President wants a House ot
Representatives to do his work; the peuple want
one to do their work, and for the present, at
least, it will be as tho people will.
Otganizrd Conservatism A Rising Tower.
from the Timet.
The great difficulty in the way ot consoli
dating the conservative forces has been over
come, and an organized National Union move
went now aims at meeting the urgent demand
ot the country.
In a certain sense the Convention just closed
partook of the nature of an experiment. The
purpose of its conveners was plain, and their
motives were above suspicion, but the feasi
bility of bringing together men who have
hitherto been ranged under different banners,
and men who for years have been separated and
alienated by civil war, and of establishing har
monious relations among them, remained a
debatable question. Reasoning hypothetically,
there were some grounds for fearing lost, after
all, a remembrance of bygone feuds might give
use to jealousies and e-ftrunaciuentb which
would be fatal to hearty reconciliation.
Moreover, there was the possibility ot trouble
arising from innrnyties of temper and judgment
in an assemblage of the magnitude originally
ontemplated. ow, luese ticklisii contingen
cies have been safelv overcome. Tue practica
bility of the object aimed at by the auHiors of
the call has been demonstrated. Union Repub
licans and Union Democrats have met in the
same committee-rooms, sat in council together,
united in the same public proceetliucs, with a
cordiality and concord taut lei't noihiua to be
den, red. North and South have joined hands
and exchanged opinions, aud bartered expe-
lences, and compared luuyments, plans, aud
hopes; the end being the acceptance of a com
mon basis ot action. lu all these respects the
Convention was a grand success. Asa delibera
tive body it realized tlie brightest anticipations
oi' its promoters. As a means ol obliterating pre
judices, rectifying unhiues, aud developing the
universality und potency of the Union senti
ment in both sections, it accomplished all that
the most sanguine coulu have deemed possible.
Consioeiod solely with reference to thee char
acteristics there has been uotihng like it in
American pontics in our nay.
in yet another sense tlitre was danger. The
persistent falsehoods ot the radical press
pouted to a contingency which touched the
sensitive loyalty of many iu the North.
Wouid the Convention be contiolkd by politi
cal exiremi.-its. in the Sincerity oi whose pro
fessions the Noithern pvople have had but
scanty confidence? Would the Convention be,
as its promoters alleged, a tojai, conservative
bony, or a body managed by politicians
w ho have acduited a reputation lor disloyalty ?
These were inquiries to which prediciions ami
uromises were uu uusatisiactory answer, wow,
however, they have been answered in a maunor
that precludes further controversy. The record
ot the Convention tells its own story. Its
organization, its ollictrs, its committees, its roll
ot 'membership, cannot be impugned by any slur
upon its loyalty, its dee:atation ot principles
admits of no misinterpretation; they challenge
criticism as an embodiment ol principle
derived from the Constitution, aud fully com
plying with the requirements of the most rigid
loyalty to the Union. And its statement of the
ca'e, upon which tho people must pass judg
ment, is so impregnable in its facts, so conclu
sive in its nrgunii nt, so ellective in its appeal to
the national sentiment, that no other exposi
tion is needed to insure lor the movement pro
found attention and respect.
The movement being organized, where and
when mav we look lor its results ? The con-
Eel vutives of both parlies being united tor tho
turtherance ot a common purpose, now and in
what direction shall we trace tne evioence ot
their power? The South having viuuicated
itself itself in the eyes of the nation, aud
accepted the principles enunciated by the
North as the foundation of a restored Union,
what is vet to be done to perfect the work
begun by the Convention ?
Diihculties no doubt remain to obstruct tne
easy working of the movement, and cripple its
usefulness, but none tuat snouid occasion
serious misapprehension. The formidable task
of organization having been completed with
marvellous ease, the miuor labors that are
belore us ought not to excite lear or even un
easiness. Tbo work is transferred in detail to
each of the States and Territories, and upon the
people of each depends tho question of failure
or triumph. To peeurc the latter beyond perad
venture, all that is necessary U to manifest on a
small scale tne forbearance, the sagacity, the
hearty unanimity of the Philadelphia assem
blage. Let this 'done, add the National Union
movement will sweep everything before it.
Tie battle of the Duiou, be it always remem
bered, must uow be fought on Northern ground.
The danger to our nut lone I existence no longer
comes lrom Southern politicians or soldiers, but
from sectional politicians among ourselves. We
are not required to tight theoretical secession
ists, disciples ot Calhoun, but. instead, practical
dWmionists under the guidance of Northern
radicals. It is not a struggle between sections,
but a struggle between the Unionists and the
diBumomsis ot the same section, and that tne
Northern. By a revolutionary usurpation of
power, tho oisunionists have excluded the
South from the arena, but the sympathies of
the Southern people are on the side of the
Nationxl Unionists, whose duty it is to prepare
for purifying and nationalizing Congress. This
is the work which devolves upon us, these are
the circumstances under which we are required
to begin it. We of the North are called upon
to maintain the integrity of the Uuion and the
feupremacyof the Constitution; aud to do this
etlectuully we must expel the radical disunion
tsts from Congress, and elect loyal Unionists as
tbelr successors.
The process is simple. As matters stand,
names and nicknames amount to little. We are
lighting lor the substance, not the shadow, and
can recognize only the distinctions that rest
upon realitv. Is a candidate lor the Union, as
oefinPd by the Constitution, or fordisunion after
the fuPhion of the radicals? This In the one
overshadowing question. In the States where
nominations have already been made, there csn
be no hesitancy in delermiuiug as between the
candidates. He that is not for the Union as
established by our fathers i3 against it, and
should be dealt with accordingly, under what
soever pretense he solicits votes. In the States
whpre nominations are yet to be made a mode
rate degree of attention to the spirit which ani
mated the Philadelphia Convention and the
principles it enunciated will secure like har
mony and success. The people of the North
have the Issue In their own hands, and we will
not libel their patriotism by doubtiug the result.
Vigorous and Decisive Executive Action.
from the Dotty Kewt.
Theat of the Conservative party now, for a
time, must depend upon the action ot President
Johnson. The issues have been fairly stated,
the council ot war has been held, the banner
has been unfurled, the war-cry given, and the
champions have been summoned to the lists.
So far all is well, and the country can be con
gratulated upon one step having been takeu in
the direction of its deliverance from the misrule
of faction and fanaticism.
But the struggle is yet to come, and let it
not be Ignored that the enemy Is strong in
courage, in resources, In energy, and In the
great advantage of holding the ciHdal of
power. In their command of the influences
of central legislation, the radicals have an
engine whose efliciency must not be underrated.
Now that they fully realize how powerful is
the combination against them, they will bring
to boar the full force of the machinery of
their Congressional majorities; and from their
past record we can judge how unscrupulous
will be their exercise, at the crisis of the
contest, of the authority they have usurped at
the scat of government.
President Johnson, as the acknowledged
leader of the conservative movement, will bo the
first object of their assault. Against him will
be levelled every weapon thatcan.be wielded in
partisan warfare; aud no opportunity will be
lost to weaken his position, to embarrass him
in the exercise of his official functions, and to
paralyze the Executive arm. He must meet the
emergency by the piompt development of all
the lesouices that hi official prominence places
at his command. He is the forlorn hope of the
conservative cause, and must bear the first
shock of the attack. Let him then anticipate
the tactics of the enemy, and assume the ollen
sive w ith the ardor of a leader w bo, thrown Into
the gap, is conscious that upon his personal
prowess depends the fortune of a struggle in
whose result is involved Nthe destiny of his
country.
No time now for timidity or hesitation. He
knows what a host is marshalling for his sup
poit. The representatives of the people in
national council have proclaimed the popular
will. The voice of the multitudes has beeu
heard in condemnation of tho faction that is now
invested with legislative supremacy through iU
Usui pulton of powers unsanctioned by our form
of government.
Let the Pi esident strike the opposition whpn
and wheie he cau. Aud firs-t, let nini oust every
radical office-holder that depends upou the Fede
ral patronage. Not a man of them should be
retained in any office over which the Executive
authority has control. That done, let him take
measures to protect the Southern members of
Congress in their seats at the next session. He
has declared that they have the right to be
there, and lie should protect them in that right.
The emergency calls for prompt, vigorous, and
decisive action, and every blow dealt by the
Executive hand will be an inspiration to the
conservative cause.
