To think of, or to do.

The Slidell and Mason Arrest-Mr. Ev
erett's View Of the Seizure.

Mr.. Everett delivered his address on the
estate ofthe country before the Middle
sex Mechanics Association, at Lowell, on
Tuesday evening. According to the Jour
nal and Courier Of that city
Mr.. Everett began by remarkng that he
had been requested to say a word or two upon
an event that reached US within day or two,
the capture of Messrs. Mason and Slidell.-
Some have apprehended that this act, howev-
er desirable in some respects, may yet be con-
sldered by the British Government as unau
thorized by the Law of nations, and therefore
likely to bring US into unpleasat relations
with that power. This apprehension Is entire
iy gTouadleSS. There is no right better re-
cognlzed by the law of nations than that of
the armed vessel Of bellgerent power to
detaln neutral vessel on the high seas, to
ascertain whether on board of that neutral
vessel there ls anything contraband Of war
1t Is expressly laid down by all the text wri-
ters On the law of nations that among the
things which are forbidden to be carried by
neutral vessel are ambassadors of either bel
hgerent power.
There have been many cases in which this
principle has been laid down and enforced
in the English Courts of Admiralty. In the
year 1908 an American vessel called the Car
ollna, on her way from New York to Borde
aux, In France, was captured bY British
cruiser. carried into England, tried and con-
demned before Sir William Scott afterward
Lord Stoweli, the highest authority on any
question II the law Of nations that can be
found IN Great Britain-condemned because
1t carried dispatches from the Government of
one Of the French colonies. In giving his
opinion on the condemnation of this vessel.
Sir William Scott expressly said that the bel
hgerent cruiser was authorized in stopping
the ambassador Of the enemy on the way to
his destination.
! You are, many of you, familiar with the
case OF MIR. Henry Laurens who was at oae
time President of the Continental Congress.
iu tue revolutionary war, who was on his
way from Martinique to Holland, on board of
a Dutch vessel, at that time neutral mower

sea The Lewistown Democrat of last

sea. The Lewistown Democrat of last
week has an article under its editorial
head stating that Mr.. Lincoln had express
sed the most intense regret that he did
not urge the eadoption of the Crittenden com
promise resolutions by his friends in Con
gress" There is probably about as much
truth in this story as in the thousand and
one lies got up and published by such pa
pers as the Buffalo Courier. Mr. Lincoln's
words, speeches, and thesupport given him
by the masses of the people, all give the lie
to this canard, and we believe at this day,
if the Crittenden resolutions were proper
Iy understood, they would not command
one vote out of ten outside of the slave
states. The single fact that they would
have entailed slavery forever on all south
ern territory now in our possession, Or here
after to be acquired, would consign them
to oblivion at once.

Defending the Tories.

Some years ago, in the face of the most
transparent frauds ever perpetrated, some
political mountebanks in the editorial ranks
could be found who shielded and defended
the Portage Railroad and Canal robbers.
At later period, up to the bombardnent
of Fort Sumter, when an indignant people
told these men it was time to stop, the
traitors in Buchanan's cabinet, as well as
their Infamous treason, was apologized for
or openly defended by editors calling them
selves dem0crdts. II is no wonder therefore
that the TORIES In the democratic ranks
and such only we have dcnounced-should
meet with an advocate in some patent den-
ocratic Buchanan oficeholder. Our "smia-
ble' and gentlemanly" friend up the riV-
er, who We believe like his illustrious pro-
totype portrayed BY Cooper has gone through
seven long and bloody wars, without
killing aught save q few bait fish, has of
course sent his sons and daughters to the
war-at least as far as Altoona-or he
would not ask US to do what, in has loyalty,
he has not done himself. So far as we are
personally concerned, we would cheerfuily
refer to the old Logan Company or to the
company Of that name now in service, as
we'll as several others from this county,
whether We have acted patriotically or not,
and challenge our gentIemanly" cotempo-
rary to make the inquiry As to the main
matter, We repeat what we have more than
once said heretofore, sho,c as tory IN the

daysburg Standard, one of your political

The Baltimore Workingmen Appeal tx

The ITorkmen of Baltimore have sent del
egation TO President Lincoln to appeal to him
to give them work to keep them from freezing
and from starving the coming winter. The
President-that is old Abe Lincoln-made
them an encouraging reply, and told them
they should have a fair participation in the
Government spoils. Old Abe was elaborate
In his good wishes and promises. This was
very dignifed, and vindicated the honor of a
great republicl But last spring when the
Commissioners from Seren States came to ne

This was the largest body of troops ever
before reviewed on this Continent. They
were all fully equipped, and every man sup
piled with forty rounds of cartridges. Every
division was accompanied by ambulances, so
that every branch of the service might be
represented.
The general appearance of the troops and
