COLVILLE Mr. THE DIFFERENCE When the Southern oligarchy plunged eleven States of the Union into rebellion against the national authority, Great Britain made indecent haste to concede belligerent rights to the insurgents. She did not wait to see what proportions the outbreak would assume, nor what resour ces for its suppression would be command ed by the government. Every conceivable encouragement was given the rebels, and no concealment was attempted of the dis position to aid in breaking up the republic. Arms, ammunition, clothing, ships of war, with full crews of seamen, money, and moral support, were furnished from Eng land, with the connivance of Her Majes ty's government. In the Canadas the reb els found not only an asylum—which they had a right to ask—hut impu• Idly to conspire; to fit out expeditions for communicating loathsome infections; for setting cities on fire; for plundering banks; for assassinations, and for almost ad other crimes the hearts of bad men could conceive. These outrages upon international law and upon common humanity, were held by the provincial au thorities and by the bulk of the people, to be legitimate acts of war. Measures of re dress were consequently denied, and men who ought to have been dealt with as vul gar criminals, were petted and applauded as eminent patriots. Appeals to the Courts, instead of bringing relief, served to dielose how deep N 41113 the Mitred of the govet nment and people to the Union and its loyal inhabitants_ Raids across the bor der, inspired by a semi -barbarism, the eat aral product of slavery, were winked at and exulted over as feats of valor, the otr spring of a chivalrous spirit. For tee days past the Canadians clove, in some degree, had "the ingredients of the poisonous chalice commended to their owe lips." Fenian raids have burst in upon them, disturbing their quiet, exciting their fears, calling their young men to arms, and' stretching aome of them on bloody biers. A wail comes up from them against the gov ernment of the United States for not inter posing to break up the Fenian conspiracy even before ma act had been committed in ViOilltioll of neutrality laws. sow, it must be confessed that the Fe nian movement is not strictly analogues to the Confederate; enterprise at :the South. There is no rebellion in Canada—there was a formidable rebellion in the Southern States. There is no rebellion in Ireland. though there are indications of the exist ence of a conspiracy for rebellion tinder this view of the case the Presi dent has judged proper to issue his Prods =lion for the enforcement of neutrality, and has caused a number of the Fenian leaders to be arrested for palpable violation of our laws The Fenians are wrathful at this interpos.ttion to prevent their opera Lions, and mutter of breach of agreement. Even citizens, ordinarily sedate, acorn in. dined to follow the dictate, of retaliation, rather than the inculcation, of prudence and sound doctrine. No ambiguity covers the American exe gesis of neutral right.. Before the Beni and can reasonably claim recognition they must establish themselves as a power de facto. So long as their attitude is that of simple raiders upon the territory of an ad joining nation with which this country is at peace, it is absurd for them to claim or expect the concession of belligerent rights. They are not engaged in a rebellion, but a capture. Indeed, most of the Fenians are American citizens, as fully amena ble to our laws as though bo rt: , under our jurisdiction, Hence, they are incapable of an act of rebellion against Greet Britain. They must tire. by due process, divest themselves of citizen ship in this country, and become British subjects, before they can set up properly the c balm to be rebels against British domina tion. True, Great Britain still affirms the old dogma, "once a citizen, always a citizen." It is' poSsible she may fall into the - folly of dealing with captured Fenians on this principle. But the Milted States does not accept that doctrine, She cannot accept it without repudiating the ohligatiOn to main tain the rights of naturalized citizens in 11, broad a sense as though they were "to the manor born." The President must hold these yenittna,• or, at least, so many of thernras havtibeen naturalized, th hi:Amer ican citizens. Some ,if them, as Mr. K n, arc native Americans. By British law, hating been bOrn of parents who were British subjects, they can claim Britildi citizenship for themselves. But asserting it by force of arms is a method the courts otiitip; be expected to recognize as MOO. mate. We do not expect the Britip govern ment and• ileople4lttly to tippreAte the ac tion of the United States in this behalf ; ninth lass to , reprtdiate their , n3itehievous doctrines on international enmity and bellig erent rights. They are nOt•tO be converted by the moderation of other nations. It is convenient for them to have the advan tages of their own doctrine when we are in trouble, and of our doet rine when they are 'in difficulty. NOsense of deffeacy or honor will restrain them trom reaping double profits in this way. It is lia.rely possible, however, the Fenian movement will as. sums such& shape no to justify th e c oerce _ sten of belligerent rights to the Irish Republic. In that event, a case of sudden national conversion will transpire, and the American doctrine he thenceforth recog nized as the rule for all civilized nations. This is a point of attainment which rises above all temporary considerations of in. terest or revenge. The progress of POliti- Clll society is involved in it. If it shall not be reached now; Rho consummation cannot be long . delayed, - LAST week Mazy of the democratic jour nals in this State boaSted greatlY that she soldiers were for lac Clymer. Since the proceedings of the Soldiers' Convention in this city were published, this boasting has died out. Natural, wasn't it? GENERAL LUTHERAN SYNOD The General Synod of the English Lu therm Church of the United States, con vened at Fort Wayne, Indiana, May Duh. One hundred and eighty-seven delegates were present, besides from fifty to seventy five .visitors. Twenty-two Synods were represented. The Synod wa opened by a sermon from Rev. Dr. Sprecher, President of 'Wittenberg College, Ohio. All the del egates present were enrolled, except from two Synods—the Pennsylvania and the Pranckuln, of New York—because the del egates of those Synods had withdrawn from the General Synod, two years ago, under protest. Rev. Dr. .1. A. Brown was elect ed President. Immediately after the or- ganization, a committee of seven was ap pointed to consider certain questions rela ting to the Pennsylvania Synod. Early in the second day, the committee reported a lengthy preamble, giving a history of the facts, with several resolutions appended. The preamble was adopted, after nearly the entire session was consumed. The resolu tions were then taken up, and di,ussed tie ring the different sessions for sin day•, srul had at last an unfortunate issue. For year a controversy has been going on in the Church relating to forms anti rituals, one party represented by the Lutheran and Mikrierrary, published at. Philadelphia; and the other by the Lutheran Obserrer; pub lished in Baltimore. We need not here refer to particulars. Suf fice it to say the controversy was narrowed down to the question whether the Pennsyl vania Synod should be, or should not be, recognized as in practical relation with the General Synod; the Pennsylvania Synod representing the liturgical party; and the men Lontroling the General Synod, repre senting the anti-liturgical party. The reso lutions adopted in the final action, in brief, were: That the conditions annexed by the Pennsylvania Synod were contrary to the constitution of the General Synod; thi n whatever motives induced the General Sy nod to receive the Pennsylvania delegate in 1553, with this condition, renders it de sirable that said conditions be rescinded by the Synod of Pennsylvania, and a willing. ness to receive the delegates of the Synod of Pennsylvania. During the discussion of these resolutions, fears were entertained by sonic that the exclusion of the Pennsvl vania Synod would induce a schism in the Church. It was thought, however, that the passage of these resolutions would avert such calamity. But the delegr les of the Pennsylvania Synod replied in the action of the General Synod, signed by Drs. P Srauth and Seiss and others. The paper closed, asking the General * Synod to sc knowledge their constitutional right to be represented before the election of oilicors. This the General Senod refuted to do, by a vote of 76 ayes to 32 nays. The deie• gates of We Pennsylvania Synod then withdrew in a body By the fourth day, premising that the passage of the resolutions relative to the Pennsylvania Synod had settled that vexed question, the Synod entered upon its legit imate business. The forenoon was spent in reading various reports. considering an able paper on the State of the country, st hid, we have already publi,hed.

From the meagre details in our possession, we make the following sum mary. The question of the appointment of days of fasting and thanksgiving war de cided that such occasions should be fined by a commission at such times as they deemed suitable. The propriety of organ izing a Presbytery in Syria was considered, and also congregations in Washington and Natchez. The sum of $17,000 was recom mended to be added to the Endowment Zund of the Seminary. Rev. Mr. Gaston was Present and represented the Synod of the Dutch Reformed Church, to which the Moderator and Rev. D. Scott replied. Drl egates were appointed to represent the body at the Synod of the Dutch Reformed Church, now in session in New York. Rev.
