MR.. MASON AT NoTRE DANE.

Weaie not disposed 10 credit the statement, which
in some OF the newspapers that Mr. Mason, worthy and
accomplished minister France in attendance in his
representative capacity the late re Deu at Noue Dame
in Paris in honor Of the fall OF Sebastopo AS the repre-
sentative Of neutral power it to US impossible
that Mr. Mason could have overlooked the improperly Of
such an act so far 10 comprom his government by his
attendance Ia his representative capacity 1t is hardly to
be supposed that be win allow the illusions TO the
renee 10 the public prints pass without cxpanaton and
therefore, shall either that the Of his
attendance Is uufounded that he has plausible
PLANTATION for whatever lie deemed il proper pur
1t would be coincidence much be regretted If it
should turn out that whilst Mr. Mason giving add
onal cca TO the celebration q The tall OF Sebasopo in
Paris the editor Of the London Times should be inditng
sentiments and suggestions like The following:
" few years ago the Americans seized province of their
weak negbto alliance Of France aud England ~a pro-
eced, ihiah carriea eoid hare npored he Union
oag and dayeros struggle The Russians occupied sim
iiary situated territory the alliance complete, is most
powerful, ard may ast % interfere ia de egairs q trans

Our government has maintained a strict neutrality in
regard the Eastern war but people overlook
och threats those made by Lord Clarendon and The
Emperor Napoleon, aud repeated BY The London
Times and they fl TO give decided direction to
American sympshts vs. repeat that we shall regret *
eeedingly if Mr. Mason Shall have forgotten VI relation Of
strict eutrty which his government is committed in
the indicated in the newspapers hut until more
correctly advised look with confidence to satisfactory
explanation of the occurrence.
The Paris correspondent of the New ork Commercial
Advertiser refers to the subject rs follows:
"W lille the Danish Swedish, Belgian, Bavarian, Saxon
Wuteuberg, all the South American and other Ministers
remained hoe became the representatives OF n:utG
though friendly governments Mr. Mason the representative
of the equally neutral and friendly United States attended
with the ENJOYS from the allied powers and from such sh
lyshalying States Austria and Prussia. Among the
Americans whom know there il but opinion and that
energetcaly condemnatory of Mr.. Masons 1t is
hardly be supposed that act that might produce
ca quences he would plead the frivolous petext of
curiosity TO the sight The government took especial
pains that the different positions of the
various members Of the diplomatic corps, by emitting all
mention Of them from the list of expected company published
beforehand in the MoHiteur."

ANoraER pEsERTER GONE.

The Albany Atlas formally announces its inability
longer TO sustain the present administration lis editor
has deemed necessary devote two columns in recent
number Of his paper to the assignment Of his reasons for
bis We beg leave 10 assure him that after care
fully reading his vindicaon think he has done exactly
what consistency and honesty required him to do and
only surprise is that these considerations did not i'm
pei him to an earlier confession Of his abolition prooyites
and adoption Of his present position Of antagonsm TO the
administration. Abotonism stands out prominent
through his long assignment Of reasons and, being al
ncted with this unfortunate mania, he could not be ex
peced TO support administration which has lost no OPP
portunity 10 manifest its opposition TO abotonism in all
its shapes and defy its assaults in whatever
made We shall alude the singular position which
the Atlas has occupied for two years as the recognised
friend and in respects organ, of The administration
when the hostility Of that administration TO ahoonsln
well known as it ID now and Shen the Atlas knew
that il recognised and patronized as sound demo-
cratic Journal and free from the faint Of abolilionism
There is however, no further ground for msiake-tae
Atlas does support the administration, aud Tor
tina very satisfactory that the administration has
no sympathy with abotonists, and desires no support
from them.
These remarks are necessary avoid any in
feronces from being drawn it the enemies Of the admins
tration should seek fix upon II the charge Of completely
with abolionism by quoting from the Atlas as an admin
sraon organ 1t is but frank say that the admuis
aton expect and does not desire the support OF
any journal or any individual whose sentiments are So
clearly with the compromises Of the constitution az
are those expressed In several late numbers OF the Atlas
To lose tho support of such Journal is By means agree
able; but if its influence eu-old greater than i IL
there could be no hesancy ia the which regard
for consistency and elrespect would impose upon the adj
minstration The Atlas follow lis abolition proclv
ties but the administration viii move IN the even tenor
of its democratic way.

noN. ions ]. DAWSON ON KANSAS AFFAIRs.

HON. JOHN L. DAWSON ON KANSAS AFFAIRS.
We have the pleasure of publishing to-day cores
pondence between number of citizens of Kansas and the
Hon John L. Dawson which will command large share
Of public attention 1t will be recollectcd that after the
removal Of Governor Reede the President rendered the
vacant place to Mr. Dawson. The wisdom Of that selec-
ton was pointed out at the time by u.s. and we now refer
TO Mr. Dawsons letter fully corroboratng the high
opinion which expressed Of his qualifications for The
appointment The critical and important questions which
have sprung up in connection with the organization OF
Kansas have been discussed by with more ceane
and force than by Mr. Dawson in his letter He traces the
difficulties in the Territory to their true source and
whilst he justly holds up the aboonsts of Massachusetts
responsible for the consequences Of their attempt to
troll the result in Kansas he does not justify the Mssou-
rans in esorng to retaliatory not sanctioned
by law. We earnestly commend Mr.. Dawsons letter to
the careful perusa of all who desire to form correct op
ions on The Kansas question.
