THE MONTANA POST, SATURDAY. AUGUST, 10. 1807.
TheAwakcnlns.
Thefollowing significant article from^the Irish Republic, tbe leading Fenian^organ of this country, published in Chi^^cago, shows that all Irishmen in the^United States are not blind to the man^^ner in wbich the Sham Democracy use^and then snub and humbug them :
Tbetenacity with which the Irish pop^^ulation of America have stuck to the^Democratic party deserves no other^name, can. be expressed by no other^name, than downright infatuation. The^whole programme of that party seems^to have been, and to be, peace with Eng^^land at any price, no matter if peace^meant ruin to the Union, ruin to liberty^or ruin to every people striving to \te^free. One would suppose that common^decency would prevent Democratic pa^^pers from villifying and turning into^ridicule every effort that Irishmen make^toward freeing their unfortunate coun^^try from a tyranny that has no parallel^in modern times. For the edification of^our Fenian friends and readers at large,^we insert the following ^ neat little arti^^cle ^ from the editorial columns of the^great Democratic organ of the west, the^Chicago Times:
Rumors multiply concerning another^projected Fenian raid on Canada. The^fact that such a raid must end in the^defeat of those participating in it, to^^gether with the death and capture of^part of the number, does not tend to cast^doubt on the correctness of the rumors.^There has been a blindness to conse^^quences or an indifference to them in the^management of Fenian affairs, so far as^assaults on Canada and the attempt at^insurrection in Ireland are concerned,^which argues the greatest degree of^knavishDess or stupidity in the leaders.^It is due to the rank and file in the Fe^^nian organization that there should be a^much plainer statement of facts and of^probable results in relation to the pur^^poses declared by the order than has^generally been given by the press of this^country. In proportion to the genuine^sympathy which is felt for Ireland in^her oppression, and the patriotism of^Irishmen in striving for her liberation,^will be the disposition to rebuke the mad^schemes which have attended tbe Fenian^military movements. They have ended^in the sacrifice of such impulsive and^generous spirits as were willing to risk^their lives on desperate chances in the^hope to benefit their countrymen. There^have been more than enough of such^sacrifices, and the members of the order^and the Canadians should be assured^that the Government will religiously^perform its duty in the enforcement of^the neutrality laws. This will put an^end to false hopes and to the turbulence^which they occasion in the order.
Now.we ask the most prejudiced and^democratic of our readers, what they^candidly think of this article^ Does it^show the ^cloven foot^ or not^ Is it^fair^ Is it manly^ Is it true^ It is^none of the three. Why cannot the^Chicago Time* come out boldly and^squarely, and say plainly what it only^implies in the article quoted^^ We and^our party don't care two rows of pins^about Ireland, or its liberty, or anybody^else's liberty either. We wanted peace^^with England before tbe war because we^wanted African slavery to become a per^^petual institution in America in order to^gain the will of our dearsouthern friends;^we want peace, now that the war is over,^more than ever, and we are determined^to squelch Fenianism, for that might^lead us into war with our good friend^Johnny Bull, and America might thereby^become consolidated and great ; there^might then be an end to domestic strife^and faction, and our party would go to^the dogs! And, then, think of the spoils!^' Aye, there's the rub!'
Wnhave fairly and impartially laid^before our readers the literal translation^of the article in the limes. It professes^a sympathy for Ireland, forsooth! Ilea^Ten defend us from such sympathy! It^is a sympathy that would tie an honest^man's hands while the footpad and the^robber plundered and insulted him. The^Times acknowledges that Ireland has^been and is cruelly ravaged. How would^it propose to alleviate the sufferings of^that unfortunate country^ We know^not, but would greatly lik.* to hear t hat^may be the copperhead nostrums on the^subject Perhaps the limes would favor^us with a small prescription. We prom^ise to tieat its advice with as much re^^spect as our brothers, the workingmen^of the West, entertain for it. The Dem^ocrat8 swear we must not touch Canada^they will protect the exposed parts of^their dear cousin's possessions, and they^will enforce the neutrality laws. But^can they enforce them^ We dare them^in words, and intend to dare them in^deeds, to do it. We will try which are^the strongest, the copperheads and their^English allies, or the freemen of Ameri^ca and the Irish! If they come to i^square fight, who would be most likely^to be knocked first into a ^' cocked hat ^^W e pause for a reply from the Chicago^Times.
Thefact of the matter is, we Irishmen^have been the greatest dupes under .the^sun. We have, through good and evil,^for long, dreary years, given all our^strength, all our support, to our nation's^eneinn s. and now what do we get for^servir.-s rendered I A threat from the^most influential democratic journal in^America, that we must not on any ac^^count lift a hand to strike down the mor^^tal enemy of America and the undis^^guised robber of our race! Here are our^thanks after all our unfaltering devo^tion to the party to which we first at^^tached ourselves^ Surely, the light ot^truth must soon show Irishmen the right^path : the men who have proved false^to liberty in their own country must be^false to it in all places and at all times
The
Fromthe Richmond Wl ig, July S.^Steady Projrrens of Itepubll-
StvamkksBuknt.^On the 10th inst.,^two Missouri steamers, the Yellowstone^and Graham, were burned at St. Louis.^The Omaha Republican says : ^ Both^these were fine l^oats. among tbe best^that floated on the Missouri river, and^were well known at this port. The loss^is put down at fSO.OOO. The Graham,^which arrived in St. Louis on Tuesday^only to be burned, claims to have made^the quickest time ever made by any^steamer on any waters, viz: 2,325 miles^in five days and nine hours, from mouth^of Yellowstone river to St. Louis. The^steamer Graham was 248 fee: in length,^381 fcH beam and carried 1,000 tons^^the largest steamer that ever made the^trip.
Speakingof the Democratic party, the^Enqvinr says : ^ Why should we kindle^against us the animosities of a great^party that rules in a number of States^and divides others, and that grows^stronger with every revolution of the^political wheel^
TheEnquirer is mistaken. The Dem^^ocratic party does not rule in a number^of States. There are but four States in^the Union that are even partially con^^trolled by the Democrats, as far as^we are informed^Connecticut,Delaware,^Maryland and Kentucky. In Connecti^^cut, the Governor is a Democrat, while^the Legislature is Republican. The^Democrats, in no sense implying power,^^ divide ^ other States, and there is not^an iota of evidence to show that the^Democratic party ^ grows stronger with^every revolution of the political wheel.^^That party is as weak as water. It^scarcely deserves the name of party at^all.
Kindle animosities! ^ Why, we ask,^should the people of Virginia kindle^against them the animosities of a party^that is great^great in numbers, ener.^gy, resources. i^ower^the Republican^party^a party that dominates over al-^mcst every Northern State and has in-^disputed control over the Federal Gov^^ernment V
Ifthose who were Confederates engage^against this party, and vote and work^against it, what can they expect from it^in the way of kindness 1 Nothing. Do^they expect to defeat that party and pre^^vent it from carrying out its policy^ If^so, they expect an impossibility. That^party is the Government, and its will is^law. We do not exaggerate. All that^is necessary is for it to say that Congress^shall do. and it is done. The resolve of^a Republican caucus to-day becomes to^^morrow the law of the land by the en^^actment of Congress, and there is no^power of successful resistance to it any^^where^in tbe Supreme Court, the Ex^^ecutive, the army, the navy, the north^and, least of all, the South.' It is idle to^say it cannot do this or dare not do that.^Its power, humanly speaking, is only^limited by the will of the northern^masses, by indeed its own will, for the^northern masses and the Republican^party are one and the same. As to dare^riot, it dare attempt anything. A party^that hesitated not to undertake the sub^^jugation of the Southern States at a cost^of five hundred thousand lives and three^thousand millions of dollars, to emanci^^pate four millions of slaves, to enforce^martial law throughout the whole North,^to give suffrage to the emancipated^slaves, change the Constitution in the |^most important particulars, is not likely^to halt at inferior undertakings. It is^not of all the unseasonable things, the^mo9t unreasonable to expect it to be^afraid after it has done these things to^undertake and complete the reconstruc^^tion of the Southern States in its own^way, and to the ruin of those who oppose^it^ We can very well understand why^we should not do anything to ^ kindle^against us the animosities^ of this ^great^party.
Comparison!are Odloua.
TheHumboldt Register, in an exas^^perated spirit, rather harshly condemned^lien. Longstreet for the views expressed^in his recent letter. The Virginia En^^terprise thereupon drew the following^mild comparison which has a wider ap^^plication than perhaps the Enterprise^anticipated:
WhileLongstreet boldly fought the^Federal armies in front, the editor of the^Jl^ ffi*t( r assaulted them in the rear. One^used the sword^the other poison and^the dagger. One exerted himself to de^^stroy tbe armed battallions of tbe Gov^^ernment^tbe other to ruin the credit^and paralyze the energies of the North.^One wielded a weapon and invited war^^the other carried a broom and prayed for^peace. One claimed that the South was^protected aga'nst defeat by the unity and^strength of its people^the other that it^was equally protected by the Constitu^^tion. One struggled like a man and was^vanquished^the other fought like a^sneak, and remains as rebellious as ever.^One risked his life^the other not even^a reputation that was worth preserving.^After tbe war, one stood in the midst of^desolation, with starving thousands^around him^the other reclined in the^lap of plenty, surrounded by a political^party clamoring for power, and hoping^to secure it through the desperation of^the Southern people. One seeks to make^some kind of reparation tor the wrong he^assisted in inflicting upon the South by^favoring an early return of tbe rebel^States to the Union^the other thinks^only of the reconstruction ot the Demo^^cratic party, and would rather see the^Southern States remain as they are for^twenty years to come than have them^re admitted into the Union under im^^partial suffrage and Republican rule.
