[Applause We were at pence with Engiand ai the time. It is trne that in the Inte struggle she failed to enforce the nentrality laws and the conse. quences @re tbat this Government hax a cooa claim of damages against her. The Govern- ment be was certain had demanded payment, and wonld enforce it. If, pending the nego- tions, we bad not enforced our laws could we bow entorce ourciaims! And this invasion Was therefore iil ad vised and inopportune, and for this reason the President must forbid it He dare not at tbat period allow the advantages possessed by us to be wrested from us by any body of men. And lam free to say that it looks a little as if some of the prime movers in this matter only labored to thwart the purposes of the President and bring him inteadilemma for hisowninjory. If he had failed to enforce the laws then he would have been accused of great error and weakness, dereliction of duty, Inaifeasance in office, &c., and the opposition could and would have impeached him. The President interposed to prevent the effusion of blood, and, instead of blame, should, in his opinion, receive the thanksof eyery dispas- sionate Irishman in all the land. If Engia make bo reparation for the damaze done ns— make not to us ample justice for her recent ac- Uen Or want of action—possibly Andrew Jotnson may tome day inform her, as once Andrew Jackson intormed France “Our claims are just—we will no longer parley— reparation st once, or else—(iremendons Ap.

After speaking of the hatred of the Puritau< to the Irish, referring to the invasion ef Ireland by Cromwell, and the burning of Charlestown Convent, he said, a union between them impossible. To show how the Radics Congress baye acted in regard to Fenianiin he smd: «Mr. Ancona, a Democrat from Peun- sylvania, introduced a resolution into th tou recting the Commis on Foreign Affairs, who are chiefly Radicals, wit the ablest of their the chairman those neutral legal obstacle io the inwasi even Ireland, of whfch they in faver, and for preventing c rch blame the President.

The mh Was called aud sustained by and then the whole matter was reterred mmmittee on Foreign Affairs “to sleep p of death,” and this was- done by the s almost in a body voting for the reter- enc, while every Democract im the douse voted instit.

But he was not allowed to offer that resolution: objection being made, it would not be allowed to be voted on at all. Do you ask WhO objected to @ proposition so reasonable, so proper—one which would give relief to so msny despondent and bleeding bearts—one which, by some means getting to the ears of the suffering prisoners in Canada, would mi gate their pain, by assuring them the erea’ Government of the United States. although compelled by circumstances to prevert ube invasion of @ neighbor's territory in time of peace, wonid still, as far as possible, throw around those taken prisoners in the act of in. vasion its kindest care, and do all in its power to obtain for them all possible relief ! Who objected to the introduction ef the olution! Surely it could not have been those sure friends of the Fenians; those who have bren so zealous lately to induce the belief thar it was the President and his friends who were crossing the path ef the Fenian progress ana conquest! Itmnst have been the Democrats who oBected! But ne, my countrymen. the objection was made by your late-tound friends: it came trom the Redical side of the House, and trom them only. Came from those who were unwilling the neutrality laws should be re- pealed, so that you might have a chance to “pitch into” England and redress the wrongs ot centuries. Came from those who have ever denounced and mahgned you, until now ing the loss of power, and seeking, + talse pretences. to win you to their support, so as, if possible, to save them from annihilation. Yet, unwilling publicly to fulfili private prom- ises, or €ven allow anvthing to be done for you if they can prevent it, they object to even a resolution of inquiry, as to What the President is doing to mitigate thc sufferings of yo ple. But even this they do covert were airaia to be kuowa openly as obje: so Tessonabl- a proposition.
