THURSDAY MORNING, JULY "A, 1853
THE PRESIDENT AND THE FISH
ERTES

The Washington Union heralds forth to this
world, by authority we presume, that " thu
most sedulous efforts of the Administration have
been from the first, as they now are, devoted
not only to a proper and satisfactory adjust
. ment of the whole controversy by treaty, with
out delay, but also to the full vindlcatloh'
pending these negotiations, of the rights oil our
fishermen, as they have heretofore been exer-
csed under existing treaty stipulations
The most sedulous efforts of the Admins
tration" amount to but little, if the above an
nouncement is to be credited. For months past
grave complaints have been Numbered in the
ears of the Administration, Of the difficulties
encountered and the embarrassments under
which our vessels labored last season on the
fishing grounds, and now at this late day after
the majority of our vessels have left for the
scene of their labors and former difficulties, W,
are informed by the Presidents organ - that
proper and satisfactory adjustment will bt
had without delay.
1t is a fact notorious that the Administration
has been very tardy, to say the least, in adjust
ing this question, of such vital Importance to a
large class of our citizens and the perpetuity Of
country and Great Britain 1t is a fact noto-
rious, vouched for by Boston editors, that large
numbers of our fishing vessels, having exhausted
their patience in waiting for the Administra-
ton to act, have sailed to the fishing grounds
fully armed and equipped and prepared to de
fend themselves against any infringement OF
their rights, thus jeopardizing the peace of the
two nations through the hardness of the Adj
ministration.
Two of our best steam vessels, says the Union.
the Fulton and Princeton, manned and equipped
have been dispatched to the grounds. The for
mer vessel, we are led to believe from our eX-
changes, may never reach her destination, be-
ing old, crazy and unseaworthy. The Princeton,
after several years of idleness, and having been
fully and thoroughly tested and found fit for
nothing, forms her consort. These are the yes
sells that the Administration have sent upon an
important mission, which according to the
Union, g is of vital Importance to the mainte-
nance of our present friendly relations with
Great Britain Verify the imbecility Of the
present Administration is daily becoming more
manifest and ''its most sedulous efforts may
in future 60 for naught

THE FREE NEGRO EXCLUSION ACT OF SOUTH
CARoLIHA.-We regret to perceive from the ton
of some of our South Carolina exchanges tina
the subject of modification of the negro exclu
sion act of that State is seriously contemplated
and that, too, so early upon the heels of tn
course pursued by the British Government
England, with an impotence characteristic 0
genuine John Bull, is ever thrustng her nos,
into the affairs of other nations that in no wis,
concern her, and acting under this impulse, as
is well known to our readers, saw fit to cross the
waters and NEEDLE in the State affairs Of South
Carolina, and actually questioned the legality
of one of the police regulations of that State
Doubts being entertained and expressed Of the
constitutionality of the Negro Exclusion Act Of
South Carolina, the British Government in
structed their Consul at Charleston to test its
legality, and proceedings were accordingly in
stituted ; but whilst pending, 10 and behold,
here comes another order from the British Gov
eminent to withdraw the suit, and the whole
proceedings fall to the ground
Some of our South Carolina contemporaries are
disposed to look upon this last act of the British
Government as one of concession, and in a mis-
taken notion of gratitude seriously contemplates
a modification Of the act The British Govern
ment is not in the habit of making concessions,
unless it will subserve her own private ends
The threatened aspect of affairs in Europe, and
the probability of her becoming involved. with
desire to preserve, for the present Mt least
friendly relations with her powerful rival on
this side of the Atlantic, alone induced the re-
cent step on her part. 1t is a cunning species
Of diplomacy, for which she has ever been fa.
nous.
1t was evident to rejecting minds from the
start, that the object sought to he attained bv
the British Government in instituting these
proceedings in South Carolina was to embroil
that State with the General Government. and
embitter the Northern States against her 50 as
to revive the question Of slavery that She might
exult in the distracted condition Of country
she has been forced to both fear and respect.
The interference of the British Government in
the police regulations of South Carolina should
have been promptly rebuked as they were at
the beginning, and now that she has seen fit to
withdraw her proceedings, her presumption
should not be lost sight Of The Negro Exclu-
sion Act OF South Carolina has nothing to do
with the question of slavery, and if nccessar,
to the question of peace and harmony within
her limits, as it unquestionably is, let it remain
in full force and effect. It is question for the
people of South Carolina to determine, without
the interference of any foreign power If, how.
ever, upon mature deliberation, the act can be
modified without jeopardzing the harmony Of
the State, let the Legislature modify it to their
own liking, but by no means should the course
recently pursued in relation to the law by the
British Government influence them in their
Councils
