Never since the Rebellion of '9B lias the Irish element in our population been so ex cited as now in this Fenian movement. In every State of the Union, in Canada, in Ireland, in England, even, men of apparent ly sound mind, capable of forecast and sa rious thought, are praying for, and expect ing the dawning of liberty upon the land of their birth and of their fathers. It would seem as if those ardent patriots had a light which others do not see, —some assurance of success which does not appear to others. The Irish are an excitable nation, the Cel tic blood is easily warmed, easily thrown into a tumultuous movement, but if history asserts truly, it has no persistent force.— There is a wide difference between nation alities, or to speak more correctly, between races. The Celts to their latest deseend ents, are brave and ardent, but in every period of their history, they have given way before the cool persistence of Anglo- Saxon energy. Add to this inherent con stitutional weakness, their constant dissen sions with each other, their love of feud and combativenoss, all springing from an inordinate love of self aud desire to ruie, and we have one reason among many oth ers, why the quiet disinterested spectators of this turmoil, prophecy their utter aud disgraceful overthrow. Since the days of Emmet and Curran, Ireland has had no true disinterested pa triot to lead her, —no man, or men, of suffi cient grasp and talent, to harmonise con flicting views and direct her e it-rgies to the point of independence and success.— They were honest men, but they failed be cause Irishmen themselves did not second their efforts, and who has led them since ? For years O'Oonnell was their hope, but we know that he, their hero and idol, was selfish and dishonest, and that while he, with one hand, pocketed the price of Ire land's continued subjection to the British ministry, with the other, clenched the hard earnings of servant girls, freely bestowed, to help in the great movement of Ireland's redemption. How nearly does O'Connell resemble Stephens and O'Mahoney, except that the latter are deeper died in villainy and deceit, and where O'Connell filched cents from honest toil, they have dollars. How men of common sense, such as we every day take by the hand, can be delud ed by so monstrous a humbug as this Fen ian movement, passes all comprehension.— It is the wildest of all wild projects devised in the brains of madmen to be executed by fools. It proposes nothing less than the dismemberment of the British Empire by a mob of silly Irishmen, gathered together at the call of men steeped in iniquity, hun | gering for notoriety, and greedy for lucre. The rebellion of the Southern States offer , ed a thousand chances of success where i tin's does not a ghost of one. That against British rule in India, might have been suc cessful as (so far as the commerci .1 pros perity of England was at stake, her trade with that far off region would have been just as prosperous, free, as subject to the home government ;) but that it attacked the integrity of the British Empire, and was a blow at the proudest and most pow erful sovereignty the sun shines on. Is it to be supposed that this same sov ereignty which has betn now more than fifteen hundred years in building up, will forego all the advantages of her situation, and strike that flag which lias waved over so many victorious battle-fields, to the re doubtable General Sweeney, with his band, the command of which, even Falstaff would ; resign ? j Xo, it is not in human nature, and John | Bull has as stubborn a human nature as j Pat or Mike. England will never resign her rule in Ireland. Canada she might surrender to herself or to the United States i even from motives of policy, but from force, never. But from neither motive will she part with dominion in Ireland. Ireland is too near her coast, and would ever be her euemy if she were free, ihe first war Eng land should engage in with a Continental Power, Ireland would oper her ports to re- I ceive her enemy, and, perhaps, furnish troops to help in her subjugation. Besides, Ireland is necessary to complete her; sway. She is the necessary and natural I appeudage of England. England does not hold her grasp of Ireland so tenaciously from mere love of power, but that together, 1 they are stronger and more prosperous, and also, because in the event of a separation, ! Ireland will most surely gravitate toward ' 1- ranee. A Frenchman's veins circulate ! Celtic blood as does an Irishman's and Louis Napoleon, true to the instinct which cariied him to Mexico, would soon estab lish a relationship. The truth is, Ireland ' from her own constitutional fault, can nev er be an independent nation. She must be a satelite, revolving around a centre which is without herself. English law is founded in justice and 1 civil right, and tyranny in its most revolt ing form, can never exist as a permanent] condition where it prevails. It would have taken Ireland thousands of years to estab lish permanent civil institutions, such as jury, the writ of habeas corpus, &c , those great conservators of individual right, of her own free volition. Without English lafr, Ireland would have been as Naples, or Portugal, or Spain are, the homes of bandits of the deepest depravity, where property would have been' nsecure, and life an accident. Every free and noble impulse of humanity would have been smothered by the incubus of a eon opt, bigoted, ecclesiastical despotism. People may say and write what tlp-y please of the tyranny of the English C! ureli in Irelaud. No one denies that it is an un popular institution there, aud that a large majority of the Irish population detest it, but there is a respectable minority who pre fer it to the Catholic, and that to them, and lor them, it is a savour of life unto life. But it is not to them that iisgood influence is manifested. There is not a bog-trotter in Ireland who is not, to-day, in a better condition than he would have been without it. It does exert an influence for good, and that influence is diffused over the length and breadth of the whole country. If it does not confer positive benefit on all, it restrains positive evil from crushing all It is a shield and a protection, the suin of which may be made apparent to any one who will consider for a moment the hapless condition of those countries subject to the exclusive sway of the Roman Priesthood. It is not our intention to apologise for the wrongs which have ground an ardent, generous, whole souled race, in the dust.— By nature an Irishman is a prince. In his native character he is brave, generous, pa triotic, sincere, gentle and noble in bis as pirations and impulses, but these qualities have too often rendered him the dupe of artful men, aud he has been the victim of more duplicity and chicanery, than all oth er men, and it this fault of his nature which is, even now, leading him with his eyes and ears wide open, into the toils from which he cannot escape scatheless. He may be leauger Canada over every rod of its su perficial area, and Ireland is still in bonds. He may cast every dollar of bis earnings into a pile, and every dollar may be honest ly expended (which it wil not be) in this mad attempt, aud is the sum tot 'I of this war fund the thousandth part of the sum the British Ministry can easily command to secure Ireland as appendage to the Brit ish Crown ? It is acknowledged that Ireland iias le gitimate cause for complaint, fully and freely. In sorrow do we write, that the statesmen of Great Britain have always treated the Irish as a conquered people, without, for a long time, granting them the right of representation in Parliament, or any other right they were bound to respect. Through the whole period of their union, subjugation rather, their hard earnings have been carried to England in the shape of tithes and rents, and there they have fostered the interests of their hated ene mies, and have been bestowed upon the hired service of English shopmen, English milliners, and English boot blacks. No portion has ever come back to bless the humble hand that earned it, and so far has the drain been carried as to impoverish the native population, and to crown the horrors of a famine unprecedented in the history of modern times for severity, when men, strong men at its commencement, and fee ble women, and helpless children, have cried in agony and starved for the bread they had earned in tears, but which at that moment was filling the mouths of a bloated pampered service abroad. 1 And still this attempt to conquer Ireland in America, can not, will not, succeed.— ■ Where are your munitions of war, —your • guns, and powder, and cannon, and ships to carry you across the water ? How are ; you to be fed and clothed while absent at t war, and how are your wives and little ones • to suosist while you are away ? It is well ■ known that even here, there are those who ' contemplate leaving home in this wild 1 goose chase, —this most egregious folly, ihiuk well of it before you go. You have given money, and it is understood, so have j those even who find it hard to subsist with out extra calls upon your good nature, and kindly feeling toward the land of your birth,—your sons and daughters out at ser , vice. We say again, give no more—no I more—not another cent. It will be either ■ spent or wasted, or go to enrich some ras : cals who will jaugh at your credulity, and 1 mock at your bitter disappointment. You love the green isle where you first saw the I light, but be assured, this effort to do her good, will work her ruin, rather. A Georgia journal says: " We hold that there is absolutely no obligation on any btute in the Federal L'uion to be what is termed ' loyal' to the Government of that ; • Union, be that fetate in the North or in the ! ! South, or known by the name of either i Massachusetts or Florida, South C'arolira : ; or Wisconsin. The thing is a free will thing | altogether. The South has a future before her, and if now cast in the pit by strong and wicked brethren will yet, some day, like Joseph, come to bear sway iu a mighty I land.'' A novel insurance case has been de cided in Missouri. The question arose up on the following facts proved : A building is insured against loss by fire. It falls down, being heavily overloaded with mer chandise ; the fall occasions a fire, which destroys the fallen material. Query-—is the Insuiance Company liable ? The Court decided that the building insured, having fallen, ceased to exist as such, and that it ceased to exist by reason of a peril not in sured against, and hence that the Company was not liable. I'he Legislature of Tennessee will be convened in special session, and will ratify the Constitutional Amendment. That done, loyal members from that State will j ( be admitted to seats in Congress. | I EUROPEAN NEWS. —The arrival of two steamers at New York, on Tuesday lust, brings later and important news from Eu rope. Hostilities had not formerly com menced, but had been brought one step nearer by the severance of diplomatic, rela tions between Austria and Prussia, and by the lauding of Garribaldi in Italy. The Austriaus had completely evacuated llols tein leaving that Duchy to be occupied by Prussian troops. At the sitting of the French Corps Legislatif on the 12th inst., M. Rouher read a very important letter 1 written by the Emperor to his Foreign Min i- er, M. Drouyn de Lhuys, on the lately projt cted Conference. Had the Conference ; met, the Emperor says that France would have repudiated all idea of territorial ag grandismeut so long as the European equil ibrum remained undisturbed, much preferring a good understanding with her neighbors to any territorial acquisition.— France would have desired for the Gerrna manic Confederation a more worthy posi tion, for Prussia better geographical boun daries, and for Austria the maintenance of her great positiou in Europe, alter the ces sion of Yenetia to Italy in exchange for ter ritorial compensation. Though the Confer ence has failed, France,the Emperor thinks, I will not have to draw the sword, but will j continue to observe an attentive neutraly. ; The letter was received with loud cheers ; by the members, and, on the suggestion of M. Roacher, the Chamber, by a large ma jority, decided against entering on the de | bate upon the affairs of Germany and Italy. | The general news from Europe is of alto | gether secondary interest. Great excitement prevails at Fay ; etteville, in the town of Mauuils, Onondaga ! county, over the supposed poisoning of | more than forty persons in that village.-- Reports were in circulation that the chol ! era had broken out there, but upon investi ! gation the cause of the sickness was traced | to some cheese sold by a merchant in the | village. The deaths resulting from this I poisoning already number two, while seve i ral others are not expected to survive. PROF. 11. 1). ROGERS, the celebrated j geologist, is dead, lie was burn in Phila | delphia, of Irish parentage, in 1809. llis j chief work was an elaborate survey of : Pennsylvania ; which caused his recogui | tion abroad, and procured for him a Pro j fessorship in the Univesity of Glasgow, in Scotland.

THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE - HIS OBJEC TIONS TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT, WASHINGTON, Friday, Juue|22. | The President to-day sent the following j message to the Senate and House of Rep i resentatives : 1 I submit to Congress a report ol the | Secretary of State, to whom was referred i the concurrent resolution of the 18th inst., ' respecting a submission to the Legislatures ; of the States of an additional article to the j Constitution ol the United States. It will j be seen from this report that the Seen tary I of State had, on the 16th inst., transmitted j to the Governors of the the several States certitied copies of the joint resolution pass j ed on the 13th inst., proposing an ainend j ment to the Constitution. Even in ordi j nary times, a question of amending the j Constitution must be justly regarded as of ; paramount importance, j This importance is at the present time en hanced by the fact that the joint resolution ! was not submitted by the two Houses for I the approval of the President ; and that of | the thirty-six States which constitute the ; Union, eleven are excluded from represen tation in either House of Congress,although j with the single exception of Texas, they have been entirely restored to all their ' functions as States, in conformity with the j organic law of the laud, and have appeared j at the National Capital, by Senators and ! Representatives, who have applied for and j have been refused admission to the vacant I seats. Nor have the sovereign people of j the nation been afforded an opportunity-of ' expressing their views upon the important question which the amendment involves, j Grave doubts, therefore, may naturally and | justly arise as to whether the action of , Congress is in harmony with the sentiment I of the people, and whether State Legisla ! tures, elected without reference to such an | issue, sould be called upon by Congress to j decide respecting the ratification of the | proposed amendment. Waiving the ques ! tion as to the constitutional validity ot the j proceedings of Congress upon the joint res j olution proposing the amendment, or as to i the merits of the article which it submits through the Executive Department to the Legislatures of the States, I deem it prop er to observe that the steps taken by the Secretary of State, as detailed in the ac companying report, are to he considered as purely ministerial,and in no sense what- I ever committing the Executive to an ap j proval or recommendation of the amoud j meut to the State Legislatures or to the people ; on the contrary, a proper appreci ation of the letter and spirit of the Consti tution, as well as of the interests of nation al order, harmony aud union, and a defer ence for an euli htened public judgement, may, at this time, well suggest a doubt whether any amendment to the Constitu tion ought to be proposed by Congress, and pressed upon the Legislatures of the several States for final decision, until af ter the admission of such loyal Senators and Representatives of the now-unrepre sented States as have been, or as may hereafter be chosen in conformity with the Constitution and laws of the United States. ANDREW JOHNSON. THE RATIFICATION. —Counting nil, there arc thirty-six States in the Union, and the concurrence of twenty-seven of them in the new Constitutional Amendment will he requisite to its due ratification. Twenty one will doubtless ratify as soon as oppor tunity shall be offered. These are, Cali fornia, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, lowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, Mis souri, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsyl vania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Vir ginia, Wisconsin, New Jersey did not rati fy the Anti-Slavery Amendment until her vote was no longer necessary; and her present attitude is one of doubt. Of the other States a reasonable dependence may be placed on, Arkansas, Maryland, North Carolina and Tennessee, This will make , twenty-five. If New Jersey and Delaware ! can be added to these, the full number will j be obtained. PROCEEDINGS OF OpNGRESS Washington, Wednesday dune 20, 1 800. lii the Senate, yesterday, Air.
