Bat we affi'm, without fear of contradiction, that in the ga nke of the Fenians the great majority of members are and have oe actively devoted to the tauso of the Union—many thousands, of them wearth™ swords oor = oarry- ing muskets in its armies; and for «vidence that the Brotherhood have heen openly snd stead. ‘qstly loyal to the government under which they live, wo .uay cite the second resolution of the frat Fenian Congress, eld gs (the Brotherhood) deem the of Whe Anime republic of low citizens, but to the extension of democratic ingit':. ttons and to the well being and socia) elevatisn of the whole human race.” In yet another fegofution the s0- ciety deplores in touching terms the 1 large number of its members who, as officers 9.4 men, have perished on the battle field while defading tho integrity of their adopted country,” winding wp with an expression of ‘unqualified satmiration for their bravery and loyalty as soldiers of the Amorican republic.” In view of these facts hors infamous must appear the slanders which sock to ‘aapugn the fidelity of the Fenians to the land of their adoption! And how absurd, as well, whon wo remember that Colonel John O'Mahony, the Head Centro and original founder of the Brotherhood in both its branches— im this country and in Ireland—has alwaye boen, though taking no active part in American politics or party war- fare, perfectly unreserved in his avowal of strong anti- slavery convictions. Colonel O'Mahony, after the abor- tive rebellion of 1848, retired to France, where he re- sided for eeveral years in Paris on terme of intimacy with the most eminent philologists and men of acience in that capital, He then came over to the United States, where he found the vast majority of his countrymen strongly democratic and pré-siavery. But from tho hour of his landing to the present day, his voice, when he was asked for an opinion, has never conned to condemn the former slave systom of the South asa crime against hu- manity, anda fruitful soures of injury to the progress of (aly @emocratic ideas im Vhis and other lands, THE.AMERICAN VENIANS NOT 4 “‘SEORET NOR OATH BOUND” SOCIETY WITHIN THB CATHOLIC PROMI- ‘BITTON. “They smote us with the swearer’s oath “Aud-with the murderer's Kunze; ‘We in the open field will ght Fairly for land and life: ‘But by the dead, and all thetr wrongs, ‘And by our hopes to day, One of us twain shall bitethe dust— Or Wo it we or they!” Another attempt to injure the brotherkood has been made by certain of its enemies, who haye denounced it ‘as “‘a secret socloty bound togovaer by an oath,” ard as stich distinetly condemned by certain Catholic fatmina- tions originally levelled ayuiust the Carbonarl, Free- | masons and other slmilar*socielies; while the facts, on the contrary, are that no {pledge of secresy, express or implied, is demanded from any candidate for member- ship of the Fenians ® Ansrica; nor is any oath what- ‘ever Fequired, at least“@m this side of the Atantic ani, witha the United Statss, to entitle an acolyte to all they prévilezes of becoming an accepted brother. Equally ustruets the vague flogation advanced ky pro-Brit¥sh agencies against “tke order, that i ts, im ‘any American sense, an ‘‘illegal society,” or has tn view “illegal objects” ‘kely to invélve this conmry in +a war with Great Britain. The members of the brother- hood neither contemplate, nor have ever sanctlonnd, any breach of the laws of the United States iu thetr efforts looking to the 1iteration of Ireland frem Engtisi thratt; and while teey would most gladly take édvantage of any conflict between the Red Flag and Banner of Stars, at once to prove favir fidelity and devotion both to tho land of their Adoption and that of thelr Birth, the goneral plan of their organization (as will "be'umere fully de- veloped hereafter), does not depend: forits hope of suc- cess on a wat between Great Britatn-‘and this country; nor on the lovying of a war against'Greut Britain by any foreign land whatever. For the Fenians it would be a happy chanco jf either France or the United States should go to war with Englund—thus at once offering a supply of arms and the necessary munitions of war to the one hundred ami twenty thousand able-odied brothers of the order who aro now enrolled and being rudely wut eftl- ciently drilled high up in the mouatain solitudes and far down in the moonlit rattis of Innisfail. Should no sach chance oocar, the peaceful. and semi-public efforts of the bretherhood on this side of the Atlantic, acting in concert with the secret, spy-proof and powerful organization of insurrectionary elemenis—already widely spread and dally spreading more widely—throughout Ireland, will not be without a very fair and flattering prospect of yet accomplishing its object. From this side of the Atlantic the Fenians will only have to supply mu- nitions, arms and officers—matters perfectly open to logal private enterprise under the precedents established by the British government in favor of the Sonthorn re- bellion; while the more active Feulans, in their native land, who are under an entirely different and admittedly revolutionary organization, are numerous and well disci- plined enough, with euch help ag this, to drive every red coat and red flag beyond the limits of the ‘‘Isle of Saints’ within a month from the kindling of the bettane fires upon her holy hill tops, TUE FENIANS, AS A BODY, IGNORM RELIGIOUS DIF- FERENCES AND LOCAL AMERICAN POLITICS. v a Might be by love combined, Nighi be combined—yet not forget ‘Phe fountain w Ag, fitled by many The lordly Shanzon flows,” Our fellow citizens of Irish birth Lavo too often been made the prey of designing politicians and demagogues who have only sought their favor for the purpose of securing their votes—those traders in Milecianiem, af whom we havo far too many.in the democratic politics of this city,-belonzing to that well known class who are “only Irish-on election day ;’” but who—ou that parti:u- lar day, atdl.to suit their own selfish purposes of place and pluxder—are “as Irish as ——:" but no matter what! No-such use of the Irish vote, however, is con- templated by the chiefs of the Fenian Brotherhood, who in their corporate or organized. eapac.ty take no interest whatever in American politics—each member, of course, being left fres, as an individual, to cast his vote on | whichever side of any American political question may to him seein best or most expedient, t! As Fenians, their ghts are of Ircland; and t ett cir action ag pendence and Kl to Which they are her of blood, birth or afection; and exclude effectually any designs that might be entertaincd by political demagogues to turn their pure national organization to base party uses, connected with our local wranglings for office and’ “the spols’—it has been wisely resolved and solemnly set forth in the Feni#a constitution, ‘that every question relating to the internal politics of America and the quarrels of Amorican partisans, together with all subjects relat to differences in religion, shat! be absolutely and forever excluded from the couneils and deliberationsof the Fenian Brotherhood, and be declared totally foreign to the objects and dosigns of the Order” — than which it would be difficult to find an instance where‘n our impulsive Miles'an fellow citizens have ar- rived at a more wise conclusion. Every man of Irish birth or descent who lives on the American continent, and all others who are friendly to the liberation of Ire- Jand, are invited to join them, ‘without disiinction of class of creed” provided only’that “their characiers be lemished? "and their devotion to t in aims of the rothorhiood admitting no reasonable question. ORIGIN OF THE FEXIAN BROTHERHOOD—HOW IT STARTED AS THE ‘kK. M. A.” From altar high, to market ‘They shail not fail, the Fent ace, ni rmce!”? And now, having stated what the Fenians aro not, and having briefly but sufliciently, we hope, refuted the pro- British slanders levelled against their organization, tt is high Ume, perhaps, that we commence telling what they arc; and What progress they have made in nombre, \n- fluence and discipline since the year 1840— tho year in which, after two previous years of drifting experiment ‘vy Colonel John O'Mahony and the late Lieutenant Colonel Michael Doheny their organization began to settle down into ite present shape and with ite present title, Previowsly, in 1867, ite inchoate germ had been planted by the gentiomen’ we | have named, in an organization called the “Emmet Monument Ascociation,” or “E. M. A.’'—the point of this name being that Robert Emmet, when about being hung by the bratal sentence of Lord Clare, asked of his countrymen that no monument might be ereeted to his memory until his country should have become free of British ‘thrall—an independent republic, “Par better the silent, unep! Unill Ireland, a nation, cau balla mee torab,9” An association, tharefore, which proposed to build a Monument to Robert Emmet on Irish soll implied an effort for the overthrew of British power in freland; and this was dircetly the object of the “I, M. A.,” as much as It now is of the Fenian Brotherhood. |The term “Fo- nian”? is, we suppose, av Irish translation or derivative from thé sword Phesalcias—the Phoenicians having. been he earliest colonists of Ieeland. Colonel 0" Head Contre of the Order, is a thorough caanere? the sold Erse or Irish tongue, ax witness his translatiion of Keating's Hiatory of Ireland; and in the term “Fenian” he has embodied the nume ‘recognized by Irishmen as that relating tu the period h their ancestors were tmomt cultivated, prosperous, happy and independent.

Tt through these alone, that the Head Centre of North America holds cere Ane in Ireland. ‘These four members of the provisional government we shall describe for convenience asthe Numerals One, Two, Three and Four—the mode in which these officers have been selected and commissioned being secret and only known cn this side of the Atlantic to the Head Centre ‘and Central Council, Itis theduty of these numerals, each in his own province—as of Ulster, Munster, and 80 forth—to search out.and discover such prominent and rellable men, possessing local influence and the neces- sary educition, as they may be willing to approach with ‘a view to tho formation of the cadre, or skeleton, of a regiment. Tho Numeral for his own sake must be very cautious, He first inquir’s the general views of the gen- tleman he may think of selecting to be his ‘‘A,”” as wo shall call it—a rank equivatent to colonel. He sounds him gently as to his willingness to try one other chance and risk his Ifo and property for Ireland’s liberation; and if he finds him all rizht in those particulars, and @ man deserving confidence ao high, the Numeral then brosches his business wore dircetly, shows the intended “A” so much of his cre- dentials'es may be necessary, and then swears in and commissions this “A,” if he be willing and properly qual fied, as'a colonel of the ‘Irish Republican Brother- hood.” Of these colonels, or “A's,” there are from twenty thirty in each province, but not one of them is off- ‘cially known to the other, nor could give evidence against the other, Each “A” has been sworn in sepa- rately, and only knows the Numeral who swore him in. ‘He doos not know any one of the other three numerals in control of the three other provinces; and as the oath 4s. administered in secret by the Numeral to each “+A” ‘with no witnesses present, and as tho commission is couched in language of no legal significance, and is only signed with a seal, there can be produced neither oral nor written evid'nce against any member of the provi- sional governmont, even supposing (as has never yet happened) that some ‘-A” should wish to prove a traitor, or, as thoy fay in Ireland, “to sell the pass.” HOW THE CAPTAINS AND SERGEANTS ARE AP- POINTED—ORGANIZATION OF THE MEN AND THEIR DUILL+THE SYSTEM SPY-PROOF. “Deep let tt sink in Irish hearts, the story of their isle, And woken thoughts of ténderest love, aud burning wrath the while; And press ‘upon them, one by one, the fruits of English “And blend the wrongs of bygone times with this our fight to- day; “And Tit tt place beside our own the world's vast page to tell That never iived the forelzn race could rule 4 nation well! thus our cause shall gather strength; no feeling vague But stamped Jon on the heart, by reason in the mind.

Thoy are then sworn in separately as “Soldiers of the Irish Republic’’—there being no one present at the time of such swesring in but the 4A” (colonel) and tho “i" or captain; nor are any of the nine “B's” ever brought together in official con- tact, £0 that they could swear against each other if traitorously inclined, Each “3B” only corresponds with or officiaily knows his colonel; so that two “B's” micht be next door nei hbors for ten years without either one suspect ng the other's sentiments or affiliations, Each “B” orcaptain thus indoctrinated, has to scloct, round and swear in nine “C's,” or sergeants, in like manner ‘and at equal risk of his own Nberty and property—these “C's” or sergeants being the lowest officers of the Order; and each “C” has again to select and swear in from among the neighbors ho most intimately knows and trusts nine “D's” or private soldiers, who ars to form his squad. These “D's” are sworn in s*paratoly as in the previous cages, and therefore can bring forward no proof, if traitorozsly inclined, of the sergeant’s having administered to them an “‘llegal oath’’—which ia eaid to be @ high crime, amacnting to felony under the “White Boy,” “Croppy,” “Captain — Rock’? wid other Irish coercion b lis passed by tbe British Par- hament. Itis true the ‘D's’ have to be brought to- gother four times a month at least for drill, and can therefore swear to each other as having been drilied together by a cerivin man. ‘This, however, compared with ministration of an ilk oath, isa venial offenee; ner does England like to acknowledge that ten Poor pensants coming together and drging with long poles, or pike-stayes, can fright her chalky isle from {ts propriety.

ORGANIZATION OF THE NEW BOARD—AN INJUNC- TION GRANTED BY THE SUPREME COURT. The new board of Fire Commissioners formally or- ganized yesterday afternoon, but the place, cxact houf ‘and minute details are retained as a secret not to be ai- vulged for the present, The only informaticn afforded tothe press is the simple fact that the commirsioners met in some secluded spot, talked over their prospects in ‘8 quiet and unceremonious manuier, and agreed upon the following as permanent officers:— jident—Charies C, Treasurer—Philip W. Engs, Seeretary—Charies E. Gildersleeve, An army of the “friends” of the new appointees were in pursuit of them yesterday for the purpose of giving them disinterested advice, and of course with no- eye to the neat little sinccures and pickings. Mr. Pinck- ney was ‘not at home,” nor at his office; neither was: the venerable Engs, uor the blooming Brown, nor the- reserved Booth. The ‘friends’ were severely put-out. at the want of gratitude and courtesy thus displayed by the shy commissioners, and passed an appropriate vote of consure, . ‘The cause of the secrecy observed by the commirsion- ors in their movementa, whereabouts, moctings and in~ tentions, ia undoubte:! tie natural desire to avold t Inflction of office huni. , and perhaps also to ward off” the legal attacks in the stape of injunetions, &e., hurled against them by their opponents of the old Fire Depart- ment, If the latter idea has anything to do with their mys-~ terious meetings, of course it will avail but little, ax the question of the constitutionality of the law inay as well be met and decided immediately as at a future day. The legal conflict between the representatives of the: old and now departments has already been commenced, Yesterday afternoon just before the closing of the court, Attorney General Cochrane applied, on behalf of the peo- le, to Judgo Sutherland, of ' the Supreme Court, ‘or’ an injunction against the Mayor, Aldermen and Commonalty, Chief Engineer Decker, and: tie new commissioners, ‘to restram them’ from taking possession, control ‘or management of the real estate, buildings, fire engines, apparatus and other pro- perty naw being used by the Fire Department of the city of New York, of interferng or intermeddling with tho game, and the defendants, the Mayor and Commonalty of the City of New York, and John Decker, Chief En- gineer, from transferring and delivering to the sald other defendants the property aforesaid, andfrom in any man- ner parting with the control of the aame. In consequence of the papers not having been sorved. before the adjournment of the court we were unable te ascertain upon what grounds the injuncton was gsanted 5 Dut we understand that Mr. Cochrane claims det the act crenting the new Board of Fire Commissioners is unconstl~ tutional, for the reason that it only applies to-the county” of New’ York, when the constitution requires two or: moro countics to be embraced in a metropolitan district. The following is the clause of the constitution referring b subject: — arn ate town and villace officers, whose election or appointment isnot provided for by this constttution, thin be elected by the electors of such c'ties, towns and villages, or of some division thereof, or a}peinted by such authorities thereof as the Logislature shall desig- nate for that purpose,” This would scem torender the question very clear; but, of course, until both sides are heard and the courts pass upon it, it is difticult to foresee the end of the discussion. The new commissioners will meet again to day, where or when nobody ‘Dut themucives and @ few Knowing one® can te Emigration to McxtcomA Mysterious Movement. {From the Philadelphia Press, May 4.}. It is very evident that the valuable region of country known as Moxico, occupies a very considerabl) share of ativation, Several org:nizitions are being perfected in this city, all apparently ucting under one head. Similar movements Rre made in the city of New York, having the same object in view. There is some publicity given to the efforta at organization, and report says that mumbors of returned soldiors, rebel refigoos, r rebel soldicrs, and other persons of civil profvssions are swelling the lists daily with their names, It fs reported that Li-we men intend emigrating to Mexico as sven as possible, but for wiiat purpose wo cannot ascortain from av authentic source There is considersble outside -talle of a desire to enforce the Monroe doctrine in the most summary manner It ts said that over five thousand in the city of New York alone have already evrolled themseives, and the Dusiness seems almost amounting toe furer, A gontlee mau accredited with power arrived in Philadelphiaom Thursday of last week, and he hus already put the bail in motion—so it is currently reported—and the result is much activity prevails, though conducted on the prinel- ple of “still waters run deep.” It is stated that the emigrants are wauted to progress with and perfect mo- dern improvements incident with the march of cividiga- tion, Larce railroads and extensive manufactories and immense mining explorations are talked about. There is. nothing suid about rifle manufactories nor saltpetre. Perhaps these additions may not be wanted, as the eml- grants will be armed with the most modern improvements in deadly weapons, to be used as occasion may re. quire. There ig mueh mystery connected with the movement; but the idea of tho Monroo doctrine seoms to ‘be decidedly popular, Even some of the detectives, who have been in Mexico are rather shy im convezvation on the sutject, but they wonid be “delight- edeto visit that place ouce inore.”? All they say is the mo tis a “big thing,” and “sufficient to the day is 7m the evil thereo’,”” This is eqnivocal language, but ae- companied with sly winks, nods, &e., may be considered, siguiiicant of something, not desirable at the present time to be made public.
