Andif be would not, why should we suppose Englishmen less sensitive on the point of honor than Americans? Intense patriotism is as much an English characteris- tic as it is an American characteristic ; and we may easily understand how England would act in the event of a Fenian invasion of Canada, by making the case our own, and supposing that British America swarmed with secession exiles, who would organize for the purpose of attacking us, and carry their purpose into effect. We, therefore, ehould insist upon obedience to cur laws from the Fenians. So long as they confine themselves ty words, and to the holding of caucuses and conventions, it would be unwise to trouble them ; but were they to get up their camps, their proceedings would be serious, and would demand, and should receive, our serious at- tentivn.”’ SWEEXY TO THE RESCUE.
