table ofthe House, can be as all relied upon,
the Navy Department would seem to have been
playing directly into the hands of the fllibus-

How not to do it. The Commodore is express.
~ directed not to seize any vessel. nor to do
any act upon mere suspieion-as though in most
cases Of this sort suspicion was not the sole
ground Of procedure. He 10 also Significantly
reminded that the President regarded the seix-
ure Of fllibuster Walker By Con. PAulding, as
"grAve error" which Com. AcIntosh is thus
selemnly warned TO initiate. He is warned fur
shsr not to interfere on land, nor in any hsrbor,
for tho purpose Of arresting any flibustering
expedition, the idea Of our Government appar-
emily being, that the whole crime of ilibuster.
ing consists in the intent merely, and that II
once that intent be carried into action, the illi.
busters become, BY that act of piracy and rob-
berry, persons toward whom a cautious neutrali.
