If the British Government nlaces anv fnit v. t

of Ireland on Irish soil this year, Colonel Lynch.
ana tae iter. John McMahon will surely be
aangea. lnose who do not believe the sen
tence of death will be
better grounds than British mercy, for there is
uomuig more certain man the serious dunger
of Irish rebellion will be met by the severest
punishment on the part ol the home Govern-,
ment. It will make tenible examples ot these
unfortunate men found guilty of a share iu the
invasion of Canada It will hang them as warn
ings to all lilsbmen who dare tight for the inde
pendence of their country. And even if Mr.
Stephens should not keep hi9 promises, any
earnest Fenian movement, either in Ireland or
America, will doubtless be answered by execu
tion ot Irish patriot.

The Fenian movement began before the war
ended, but it did not ass-ume Importance until
alter Andrew Johnson became President lie
never, by actor word, discouraged it, but per
mitted it to grow and ripen, till what was origi
nally uo more than a secret fcociety revealed
itself an army. Then, when the British Govern
ment anxiously awaited the blow, aud Canada
trembled In tear, Andrew Johnson received
Fenian delegations at the White House, aud in
carefully guarded language, understood to mean
iar more thau it expressed, talked abstractions
about his bympathy for all oppressed nations,
and his particular interest iu unhappy Ireland.
Behind the Feiiians was the Irish vote, and
behiud the Irish vote the Presidential succes
sion. It would not do for him to say honestly
that the invasion of Canada was a mistake; that
the neutrality laws which England had evaded
during the war were still binding on the United
States. The Rrnntatlon to natter false hopes,
and palter with the earnest enthusiasm of brave
men, was too strong to be resisted; and Andrew
Johnson yielded. No , doubt he thought this
talk of fighting for tb freedom of Ireland was
merely the boatt and bluster of hot-headed
Irishmen, and would end in words ouly.

The United State and Mexico.
From the Timet.
General Sheridan's letter to GenerHlSederwiok.
who commands the United States forces nn the
Rio Grande, indicates clearly enough that our
Government intends to aid the authorities of
Mexico In restoring order and preserving peace
in that country. Ho advises him, as the only
way of improving the condition of affairs, that
we are to "give our heartiest support to the only
Government m Mexico which is recognized by
our own" that of Juarez; nnd ho Instructs him
to notify all adherents of any party or pretended
Government ln Mexico, that they "will not be
permitted to violate the neutrality laws between
the Liberal Government of Mexico and our
own," or to remain on our toil and prepare for
such violations
This action is undoubtedly taken in pursuance
of Instructions from Wa.-hington, and we pre
sume it will be followed by still more active and
pmnhfitic mennnrpn. II nmmt lia i.,K,r.i

the Government of Juarez has already sought
the aid of the United States in its efforts to re
establish its authority over the contending fac
tions that will arise upon the ruins of the
Empire. The matter is one for treaty stipula
tions. The President, with the sanction of the
Senate, has the uudoubted light to lend such
aid as may bo required, upon such terms aud
conditions as may bis just and wise. Unless the
reports already received irom Washington are
at fault, the President has indicated Tils own
willingness to euter upon such an arrangement,
and ia disposed to send to the City of Mexico, If
such a step should be deemed advisable, a force
ot at least 20,000 men under General Grant, or

that this unhappy -country should bo filutui
from the anarchy into which she has so ti,1
been plunged. She h:is abundant resources ot
every kino, only awaiting peace and security
lor person and property for their development.
With eight millions . ol people, her commerce,
under fixed and just laws, iulrly and steadily
Hnmtnistercd, would be a source of abundant
revenues to her treasury aud of wealth, to
joreien traders. The great mass of her people
long for rest, and would welcome aid from any
quarter, which did not threaten the overthrow
of their institutions in subjecting to a strong
steady, and just Government, the parties and
tactions which contend for supremacy at the
publio expense.
As a matter of course, the Government of
Mtxico will pe expected, to incur all the ex-
tenfe of such nn enterprise. She has abun
dant rcourccs for this, as well fts to secure us

From the Herald.
The really vital political question for all par
tics lies beneath the ditcjssion and turmoil of
the hour it is who is lo be the next Presiden.
Politicians rage on every topic Itnd assail one
another each ufter his own peculiar frenzy;
Ptate canvasses are carried on aud fought out
apparently on local issues, but underneath all
shaping, directing, and controlling all lies the
paiainount question of the Presidency. All the
astonishing vagaries and extravagances into
w hich tho politicians are running all the un
explained pieces ol viudietiveuess at this or that
public mnu have reference to this topic, aud
express oniy the hopes or lears of oue or another
laction iu regard to some caudidate. Tho ITesl
dency is now the clue that runs through the
lanjriuthine mazes of political intrigue, thouch
this lact will not be lully developed bciore tne
next sesbion ol Congress.
The sliugule lor the Presidency will be a
triangular hs:ht between tho three preat iao
tions. The Dcmociats will have their candidate
and tho Uepuolicau.i, divided into radicals and
couservatbes, will have n candidate lor each
diviMcn. Mr. Chase, who has never relin
quished his hopes for the crowuiug glory of
u political curci r, will develop ihe urcatest
strength us a caudidate with the radicufs, more
especially iu virtue oi arrangements in the

skirmish fire shows how clearlv the radical
perceive the position of their most formidable
opponent. It 6hows how clearlv they see that
the popular instinct inclines to deposit the exe
cutive power where they can the least manage
or coutiol it.
The Democrats have their candidate at pas
turage in the laritied atiuoi-phere of the moun
tain lands of Europe, ueneral McClellan has
been kept far away from political contests since
tbe last Presideniial election, and has, there
lore, done his party no harm. He has had
abundant time for rejection also,- and will come
out a tresh, perhaps a stroner man. He may
have a cleurer eye for political combinations
Mian when he was deluded by the Chicago
temptation. It is possible that the Democratic
nomination may be complicated by the intro
duction of fJeneral Sherman!, name. In that
event it will be a close dispute between tbe
lriends of the two soldiers; lor while on a mere
question of military glory and the quantity of
laurels, Sherman would have everything to
McClellun's nothing, yet the Democracy will
certainly remember to Sherman's prejudice that
he did a great deal towards puitlng down the
Rebellion. This will make the claims of the
soldiers more nearly even.
fc'uch are the candidates as tbe divisions now
stand. We shall see the atruggrle between the
various (actions developing itself more openly
as soon as Congress assembles.
