Gj'The fishermen have started or are about
starting for the grounds, and they go away
under different circumstances than ever be-
fore. In a majority of instances, we believe,
the crews have positive order not to infringe
upon the provisions of the treaty, and to incur
no risk of having the vessels taken by the
British. The vessels are worth $500 each on
average, and most of the owners cannot af-
ford to lose their property Hence their eau
tion in giving orders, and their great desire to
avoid all difficulty.
There are men, however, who own the ves-
sells they command, and can loose them with
out being ruined by the loss. These men
start on the cruise with arms, and determ-
nation not to be crowded and insulted, as they
were last year. They will be cautious how
they enter within the shore lines, and will
keep good look out in regard to their viola
tion of any treaty stipulation. They feel that
the Government has been dila,ory and ineffi-
Gent in protecting the national flag. and they
have failed to see any indication on the part
tect them in The enjoyment of their unqnes-
toned rights will be sent to the grounds, and
they will Wherefore protect themselves to the
beet Of their ability.
We personally know some of these parties
and We also know that last year some of the
men suppressed the rising emotions of indg.
nation which swclled within them as they saw
their American papers torn and trampled upoE
by the petty and contemplate officials from
the Devastation and other English vessels
They now go prepared to meet similar ext
gency. Last year. it was thought that the
seized vessels would fare better in the Admi-
ralty Courts is the American feet did not re-
talate the many abuses they suffered. This
year that feeling will not exist. The procee1-
ipgs in some of those Courts were of chsrac-
ter to aggregate the evil, and our countrymen
will evnce courage and determination which
will attest that they mean tosecure Indemnity
for the past
No true American. familiar with the proceel-
ings OF last year by the English cruisers. can
object to the arrangements made by their
countrymen for the protection Of their Just
rights this year. Congress has refused to put
prohbltory duty on foreign fish.
After the illegal seizure sf several. American
vessels on the high seas, by the British cruis-
ers, and after three or four severe conflicts on
the fishing grounds, it is quite probable our
Government will turn its attention to this i'm.
portant matter. 1t is we'll understood in the
fishing districts. that should. the gross insults
of last year be repeated. without being imme-
mediately attended to by the General Govern
ment. the indlgnity will be revenged on our
own coasts, in a way to show that the fisheries
still continue to be Nurseries of seamen and
the right arm the Navy"
