we publish elseshere-on the Substitute of Mr..
Mason for Senator Douglas bill to restrain and
redress outrsges upon the flag of the United
States, that SeBator Mason backs down com
pletely from the position be was supposed to
have taken In bis recent report on the British
outragee, and wishes to substitute the petty re-
publics south Of us for Great Britain, as the
objects upon which we should exercise our in
dienation.
The Senate very properly refused, by a vote
Of thirty seven to eixteep-eleven Senators not
voting at ALTO entertain this miserable sub
terfuee Of the Virginia Senator, or even to
enter upon debate Of 1t. 1t will be seen by
reference to our Congressional report that the
Senate has agreed to make the original resolu-
tions of the Committee on Foreign Relations in
regard TO the British outrages, the special order
for Saturday next, and the whole country will
expect 10 zee on that day tone Of debate aud
. course Of action such as are consonant with
the honor and dignity Of the American Senate
under the present emergency. Every national
sentiment has been outraged, every national
feeling has been insulted. by the course of the
British officers at our very gates and by the too
palpable fact that orders for this course were
issued by the BritiA ministry months since.
For sixty years have We struggled In support of
the great principle of the immunity of our ships
from search upon the sen during time Of peace;
ever since we began to feel the throbbings Of
life in the national bosom have we resisted this
insolent aggression. One great virginian,
Jefferson, struggled for eight years against Il,
while he was at the head Of the young nation;
another eminent virsinian, Madison, led us into
war in defence Of it, while our thews and sinews
were yet tender. Now that we are lusty and
strong, comes a degenerate son Of the Mother Of
Presidents, and would have us, forsooth, turn
cur wrath against the pigmies OF the Isthmus,
who have really been doing nothing except

The Senate Of the thirty-three United States
