Precedents for the Capture OF SlIdeII and

Precedents for the Capture OF SlIdelI and
Mason.
In case the British Government is dispos-
ed to be impertinent in relation to the cap
ture of Sliden and Mason, there are numer-
Gus British preeedents our Government can
refer to in justification of Capt. Wilkes act.
The Marysville Appeal thus refers to some
of the parallel cases that our Government
will throw in the face of the British Minis.
try:
We shall be able to convince Great Brit
ian that whether we had or not right, ac-
cording to the laws OF nations, to search
the Trent, we have done no more than fol-
low examples set by herself with far less
excuse. She will be told that in 1907 the
British ship Leopard overhauled the Amer
ican frigate Chesapeake, claiming deserters
from the British service alleged to be on
board, and by firing into the Chesapeak a
broadside that killed and wounded several
persons, compelled her captain to give up
the deserters. She will be reminded of the
case of the Caroline, during the Patriot
War of 1887. The vessel. belonging TO
10 the employ of Canadian rebels, was seiz.
ed in time of peace in neutral waters, one
of her crew killed under the national flag,
her hawser cut, the boat fred and sent over
Niagara Falls. She will be reminded also,
of the still more pertinent fact that an Eng
lish vessel sent an armed boats crew to
board the American ship Hercules, in a
Sandman port, half a century ago, and
take from her by force Lucien Bonaparte,
who was conveyed prisoner to England.
She will be told that McManus. an Irish
rebel, was seized on board of an American
vessel in the barbor Of Cork, after she had
taken out clearance papers and was virtu-
ally on her voyage. Other preCedents which
her history affords can be quoted in answer
to her unreasonable reproaehes, and she
will probably conclude that as no ofiense
was meant by Commodore Wilkes and Un-
Gle Sam, none was committed, and no um-
bragg should be taken nor harsh measures
to assert false notions of dignity resorted
to. Besides, she will hear the calm voice
of her conservative and commercial classes
pleading for peace, and against policy
that would aid the infamous pro-slavery re-
bellion. We can afford to keep cool. No
war with England will grow out Of this
little breeze.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-12-21
Mason and slldell.

For many years the seat of the conspi-
racy for the overthrow of the Federal Gov
ernment, was the Senate of the United
States. Among the chief Catalines in the
reasonable plot. none were more active,
treacherous, and virulent than John NJ. Ma
son and John Slidell. Davis was more
plausible, Toombs more defiant, Brown
more reckless, and Benjamin more facile;
but for sour malignity, no one equalled
Mason; for willy hypocrisy, none surpassed
Slidell. At any time 10 the last ten years,
if an intelligent observer had been asked
to designate the two most unpopular and
repulsive men in the Senate. he would have
instantly pointed to the seats occupied by
the naughty, 0veTbearing, insOlent member
from Virginia, whose face was chronic
frown, and the member from Louisiana,
whose furtive glanees and sinister visage as
he entered the Chamber always gave token
that be had just come from council of
Benedict Arnolds who were plotting the
overthrow of their country. Mason, who
religiOusly believed that every Virginian
was demi-god, aud every Yankee craven
plebeian, never tried to conceal his con-
tempt for his northern colleagues. With q
brain composed of the mUddiest materials
ever injected into mortal skull, and with an
utterance to the last degree prosy and COM
mOnplace, nevertheless, such was bis over
whelming self-conceit that, while boring the
Senate to the very verge of human endu-
rance, he never doubted that he was clo-
thing the ponderous logic of Daniel Web
ster with the brilliant diction of Patrick
Henry. On the other hand. Slidell never
essayed to lecture the Senate as was the
wont of Mason. With rare talent for in
trigue, and assiduity that never tired, and
a patience that worked through all obsta-
cles that interviewed between him and bis
object. be was content to be sly, cautious,
dark, inscriptions traitor, leaving pOmpous
Mason to make himself ridiculous before
the scenes, while be pursued bis devious de-
signs behind the curtain. There was one
point, beside their common desire for the
dissolution of the Union, 10 which these
hoary traitors cordially agreed They hated
Douglas with the intensity of fiends. They
took every pains to thwart him-to humble
him; they embraced every opportunity to
sDeer at him-tO depreciate him; and they
toled night and day to depose him from the
leadership of the Democratic party. They
were deep in the plot which prevented his
nomination for the Presidency last year,
and were the chief instigatoTs of the cabal
which broke up the Charleston Convention,
put two Democratic candidates in the field,
and thus secured the election of Lincoln.
And they did all this for the purpose Of
making his success pretext for destroying
the Union.

No FLOODS SoUTH.-The highest food in
all the Northern streams, occurred Dec. 9th.
The Visalia Delta of the Thursday follow
ing has come to hand, and as it contains 90
account of floods in that Southern region
ii is safe to presume there were none. The
storm seems to have been severest in the ex-
treme north, and "tapered OFF, gradually
as it extended south. AS a contemporary
remarks, Visalia and the immediate cOOn-
try around it, are watered by short streams.
But there are two rivers near-the Kaweah
and Tule--which rise in the snow region.
and neither of which are reported 10 the
Delta as having been unusually bign. All
the extraordinary floods appear to have
been in streams north of the MOkelumne.

About Fusion.

The Sierra Democrat, referring to the talk
about fusion, says:
We are averse to fusiOus. They are the
projects of hungry trieksters who have not
the love Of any party. We ere opposed to
a fusion which shall retain any issue which
has heretofore separated loyal citizens of
the Union. If union of all such can be
in good faith compassed, we would say
nothing against it; although, as general
thing, unions come about by unadvised ac-
ton of the "quiet masses"-not by the
connivance of uneasy politicians" But,
to prevent the secessionists from bringing
in their contemplate little balance of pow
er to claim share of the spoils for electing
one kind of Union men over another, we
would heartily favor concerted action be-
tween all Union men to organize the Leg
islature. AS to any fusion for future party
purposes, we are opposed to tiff for no
other, for the reason that the Legislature
is not the place to broacb it, nor this the
time. Let things work yet little while.
The Shasta Courier says, on the same sub
ject:
Several of the papers of the State arc
discussing the policy and prOpriety of
unity or fusion of all the classes of Union
men in the next Legislature, as against the
Secessionists. Without any preliminary
discussion as to the feasibility or propriety
of this movement, it is safe to assert that
the Union men in that body will be driven
to unite their forces, not for any such pal
try motive as dividing the Offices in the gift
of ths Legislature, but for the more worthy
one of sitting all legislation that looks to
the advancement Of secession. We believe
and so does everybody except members of
the peace" party-that this Infamous re-
belIiOn against the Government has Oblit.
Grated every vestige of old party lines, and
that the question of maintaining the re-
public intact is the only one before the
people. He who does not recognize that
as the sole issue, is no true friend of bis
country. There can be no other until that
is settled.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-12-21

A CHRISTIAN WARRIOR.-The Philadelphia
North American says:
mo one was better or so well qualified
for tne head Of the great expedition as Com
mOdore Dupont. His whole heart is in his
country's troubles, and be would cheerfulIy
die, as the gallant Lyon did, to promote
her welfare. He entered the navy as mid.
sbipman when just twelve years of age,
and be is now in the prime of his physical
life. With more than forty years. expert
ence in his profession. and a well disciplined
and cultivated mind he unites every quail
ity which can distinguish great naval
captain. 1t does not, in our estimation, de-
tract from his abilities that be walks hum
bly, before his God as a Christian soldier
and gentleman. No one has ever sailed
with him who does not honor and love him,
while no ships ever exhibited better disci-
pline than those which he commanded. He
was always firm, but kind rigid, but len-
ent. No profanity ever polluted his lips.
and no carelessness of living ever set bad
example to younger men who we're serving
under him.

A Big CHUNK.-The Sonora Democrat says:
A chunk of gold and quartz weighing fuOr
pounds, and containing three pounds of
pure gold, was taken ont of the Smith q
Tinder claim, in the upper end of Sonora,
Friday morning. Six hundred dollars be-
sides this Was taken ont the same day
