    What the Fenian War Really Is.
There is no question that a very large
portion of the apathy with which the
Fenian performances are regarded by the
public is due to the not unnatural enjoy
ment which people take in the spectacle
of the CanadiaiKt suffering from raids.
The Si. Albans affair and tlio state of
alariu in which the inhabitants of the
American border Acre kept for ocaily.twu
years, by the threats of bands of (.on— ,
federate vagabond*. congregated iu t!»c
Canadian* towns, have made a dcc,p iui
pvessiop oil the public mind, aggra\ated,
of cojarsa, hy the -'judicial" proceedings
at Montreal in wliich Judge Coursol fig- ,
ured. it would be difficult to find in j
modern history a ease of more wanton
and shameless connivance at a great erime
on the part of a highly civilized and
professedly Christian corn munity. Cour
sol was, uo doubt, a corrupt and ignorant
man ; but he would never have ventured
to parada his ignorance and corruption as
be did if he had not well known that his
proceedings had the secret sympathy of
his neighbors. The Canadians tried to
tlatter themselves that when Gen. Dix s
order was overruled by Mr. Lincoln auil j
the Youug affair blew over, that all was
over. Hut the press here warned them
of the real mischief of the St. Albans af
fair, and of the impuuity enjoyed by the
rebel conspirators pn Cauadinn soil, did
not lie in the amount of material damage
suffered by the Uuited States, but iu the
fact that they laid the foundation for
endless trouble iu the future. The Cana
dians laughed at these warnings then; |
thoy now know what they mean. There i
may be powers in the world strong enough
to treat all international uLligations with
contempt; but even Great Britain is not
amougst the number, though she have Can
ailaat her lack. The retribution may not
always conie iu the shape of open war,
but it generally comes somehow. Rob
erts aud Sweeney are rather contempt ble
instruments to serve as avengers of inter
national perfidy ; but iu this instance
they do the work pretty faithfully.
That this feeljug of soiencss on the
part of the public here is pretty deep
may be inferred from what we havo been
mbmitting to for the past month or two.
We havo witnessed, without tho slightest
formal iudicatiou of dissatisfaction, the
creation of an avowedly foreign govern
ment in this city, with the various de
partments and bureaus necessary for car
rying on military operation# against a
power with which we are at peace. We
have seen it commission officers, issue
1 onds, aud actually raise an army, open
recruiting offices, aud collect arms aud
.immunition, and assemble great bodies of
men at rendezvous on our soil, for the
purpose of commencing hofctilities. We
have had the commander-in-chief of this
;irmy travelling to and fro on our railroads,
with largo bodies of men marching on
our territory under his command, aud
have actually seen our lines of telegraph
cut by hiß orders, in ofder to prevent our
officers and police obtaining information
of his movements. We have tcon one
district-attorney flinch from arresting
him. fearing he could not summon force
t-ulficicnt for his purpose, and have heard
the same general-in-chief. when actually
engaged iu the branch of our laws, warn
him that be would come to grief if he
meddled with him. We have seen a hos
tile column leave OUT soil, invade that of
our neighbors, fight on it, and then fall
back into onr territory again, and the for
eign government which he professed to
obey issuing a general order, in N". York,
promoting the man to a brigadiersbip for
his gallantry.
These things 'are hard to bear. No
civilized gorvortuaent cv«r bore them be
fore from any power not vastly stronger
than itself. Austria used to do tbis sort
of thing iu tho small Italian States, and
Napoleon used to do it in those European
kingdoms over which he had set viceroys
of his own. Of course, wo should not
hare borne with it H the absurdity of
the performance had not been so mon
strous. Most America us who paid any
attention to the Fenians during the last
year, thought it was a "little game" with
which Irishman not troubled with much
occupation were amusing themselves.—
We think it vary unfortunate that this
impression prevailed so widely, because
it enabled the Kobertses and the Swee
peys to persuade their dupes, who are
mostly ignorant persons who have no
weans of getting at the real state of
Amerioan feeling, that the apathy tbey
witnessed on the part of the public and
of the law officers indicated sympathy
with their enterprise, and assured them of
impunity in carrying it out. Thay were
thus enabled to strip thouaanda of poor
men and women of large sums of hard
earned money, to add to the existing dis
turbance of ffcfe industry of the country
by drawing off large bodies of young
men to the border, aid finally—what we
consider more serious than all else—to
set before iU uuudr«d« of thousands of
ignorant foreigners who reach oar ahore
ever* year a most dangerous example of
the way in which the law may be openly
defied and contemned in their adopted
country. If the Fenian performance of
the last six months have not done much
to weaken respect fur law anoegst that
now immense class of our population who
are still unaccustomed to the wlf restraint
in which Americans ara bted, (Jermau
and Irish human nature must have un
dergone some radical change, 112 Wfirreat

for the President to abstain from iute»-
fcrcace till the thing had come to a head.
It may t»o that the suppression of the
movement will meet with a support from
tlie public now which it would not havo
met with had it taken place any sooner. |
Hut we do hold that, let tho pub ic Sup- j
port it or not, this interference ought to !
havo taken place before blood was shed.
We are-a ('Christian pcoplte, u.»jl no matter
what the Canadians have done or left un
done, we owe it to our own souls not to let
bands of ruffians lcavo our soil for the
purpose of killing their young men and \
desolating their homes. There arc some '
forms of retaliation to which we cannot 1
descend without guilt, and connivance at 1
or sufferance of Fenian raids is one of !
them. No matter what sympathy we may
have with the wrongs of Ireland, no iu-1
vasion of Canada by people like these j
Feuiai&s can be anything but brigandage !
oa a great scale. O'Neill's "battle" wis
mui'der—simple murdor ; Sweeney's bat
tles, if he ever fights any, will be murder
—murder committed by the offscourings
of our population, led on by adventurers
j who are ready to fight under any flag for
I pay and "pickings." lV>ople ought to re
member this. Calling Sweeney a "gen
eral" and Roberts a "Piesident," and their
followers "brigades" and "regiments,"
does not alter their real character. They
are, by the law of nations and our law and
God's law, still bri -ands. We say
God's law, because even supposing war to
have the Divine sanction, nothing is law
ful war which is not undertaken with a
reasonable hope of success, or iu defence
agaiust an attack. Ilut tho liberation of
Ireland through the killing of Canadi
ans and ravaging of their hopi's, is just
as impracticable as through the invasion
of Jamaica or British Guiana—a wild,
senseless scheme, which no men of con
science, or honor, or intelligence would
enter upon. No Irishman of character
or position in cither hemisphere has any
thing to do with the movement, and there
is nobody who does not know that the
fate of that unfortunate island under the
rule of tho Swaoneyr aud O'Muhonys
would be teo-fold worso thau it is over
likely to be again under that of Great
Britain, even supposing the present fair
promise of reform to be blighted.

_ —Hon. M. y. OJcil, Naval Officer of
New York, died in that city on the l"th
iu6t. He was a member of Congress in
the early part of the war, and did much
in behalf of the soldiers IJe was born
at Tarrytowu in 1818, and became a cus
tom house clerk at au early age. Presi

in which post he was retained subsequent

In Mr. Buchanan's administration lie was.

President Johnson made him the Naval
Officer of New York, and he fillpd file
positiou satisfactorily. In Congress ho
was chiefly occupied with committee busi

the Merchants of New York, and his
death will bo recognized as a loss to the

Our Lute Convention.
It has been our lot to ohsorvo the meet
ing of many oonveutions in Butler, and
some olsewhcre, and wo aro freo to say
that we never witnessed a better feeling
than seemed to prevail, ho.tli among the
delegates that ooiuposed it, aud those in
attendance feeling an interest in its de
liberations. Perfect harmony aud good
will seemed to prevail; nor have we to
this day, with one or two exceptions,
heard a word of complaint in the county.
A resolution, however, strongly endors
ing Gov. Curtio, and expressing a prefer
ence for hi* olectiou tp the United States
Senate, seems to be distasteful to some of
oi\r friends iu Allegheny. The Commer
cial mentioned the matter, anl published
what purported to bo two cards from del
egates of the convention, dcclariug that
the resolution in question had not passed.
It was evideut the cards, if genuine,
ha 4 been procured before these gentlemen
ha 4 time to reflect tjiat they might not
havo been as constant in tho convention
as at first they were inclined to 3uppoSe.
We thought proper, last week, to men
tion th:: matter, for the purpose of dis
pelling any doubts that might havo arisen
on the subject.
We knew that tboro could be no mis
take about tho rosolutious. They were
all ou one sheet of papor—all written in
a legible hand, and arranged in the order
iu which they were printed. The Cuyi
mercial seemed satisfied \yith our expla
nation. Tfyp Gazette bad asked the Cit
izen far an explanation, but was not lib
oral enough to publish our statement, or
evou mention tho fact that any had been
given ; not only so, but on Monday last
it mentions the subject again, and has
now discovered tjio mistake, as it assumes
to be in the fact that we nominate on the
old Crawford county system ! our conven
tions being 4 co(jiposed of "Return Judges"
and npt of delegates, as are their convcn-"
tions. And our delegates are at lib
erty, therefore, to do anything bi}t cast
up the popular vote this, however, hai
never been the understanding with our
people. On the contrary, our conven
tions have the same poirer that theirs
ljave. This, at least, is the understand
ing of oijr ceople; anyhow, they are tire
ooly parties who have any right to spealc
in the premises. But qs 'tl|ere is m dis
pute about this matter at homo, wo will
not follow it further, with th 6 exception
of publishing, for tho express benefit of
the Gazette, tho letters respectively of
Majoi Harris, President of tho conven
tion, Dr. Lusk, its liecording Secretary,
and Lieut. Story, chairman of the com
mittee on resolutions. If these letters
should produce a more healthy state of
mind, on the part of our neighbor of the
Gazette, they will not Jiave been published
in vafn. Dr. L&sk, it is true, thinks the
resolutions should have been passed sep
arately, but on reflection he will admit* .
that this courso is very unusual. It is
j never done uuless such a conree is palled
j for at the proper tim«. Tho'following

THOMAS ROBINSON, ESQ. — DEAR SIR :
In looking over the Pittsburgh Commer
civt of the 18'h inst., I discover that two
of the delegates »112 our late, couuty con
vention have signed a card declaring that
the resolution indorsing Uov. 4c.
was not passed through the Convention.
I cannot see how those delegates fell into
such an error, unless they were absent
when the resolutions oame up, or were uot
attending to their dutios.
The Resolutions were read by the Sec
ret ify, (Dr. liUsk,) a motion was then
made aud seconded, that they bo adoj •
ted. The motion was then distinctly sta
ted by the chair, an 1 the convention ask
od if they wore ready t'qr the question on
the motion, when a number of voices
called for the question. The vote was
then fairly taken, for aud tiffuiitst and was
unanimously decided in favor of the res
olutions. A delegate then spoke aud
said he desired the resolutions to bo ta
kfcbup separately. The chair replied that
the quest on was decided, but a motion
to reconsider was in order. Hut no such
motion was made. I make this statement
in ordor to disabuse the minds of any, o<'
tho unfairuesa of the passago of the l'eso
lutions. Respectfully Yours,

Sad Vcclileut,
We cjip the following from the Mead
ville Daily Republican, of the 15th iust.
It will be rooolleetcii that Mrs. Mitchell
is a daughter of Col. Jacob Briber, for
merly of thin place. Tho sympathies of
the many frieuds aud acquaintances of
the lumily, in this plaoe, are extended to
them, in this, their time of grief aud
trouble:
A sad accident occurred yesterday, by
which W itliam Michcll, of this city, a
young man about twenty one years of age,
met his death. A purty of three youug
men, ot whom Michell was one, were
squinel-huuling near tho MeMatli Farm,
baclt ol College llill,yesterday alternoou.
A red squirrel was wounded, and as it
ran along a log, an attempt was made to
givo it another shot, but the gun went otf
prematurely, the couteuta lodging in Mioh
eil B groin. A handkerchief WHS at onpe
tied around his leg to compress the artery
and stop the flow ol blood, and one of the
party came tq the city for help.
Greenlee was called upon and at Once has
tened to the spot, but when he arrived
there ho foi}nd that a wagon had been
procured, aud the wounded man taken to
, his mother's houso on the hi{!. The
shock to his system was too great for hiln
to rally, and fldtwtthstimtling the stop
page of blood, Iw died trom exhaustion a
tew minutes after he r«aohed home.
lie was the oldest child of the family,
and was a chiet support to his widowed
mother. lie was employed upon the rail
road. The sympathies of the community
are with bia bereaved mother and bar
family.
Young Michell was a very industrious,
worthy man, ami had many Mends who
will be shocked to lbarn of bis death. He
was formerly a printer by oeoupation,
learning to set type ia the Spirit of tht
| Ayt- office, which conducted by hit
j father— the late Harper Michell, Esq.
It is a somewhat singular coincidence
that ho was shot in the groin, almost ex
actly as was Clark Lindley, who was ac
cidentally kitted TO Mrs. Michell's house
two years ago.
