NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

The great 1cniency with which the Blood
Tubs Of Baltimore were treated after the
massacre Of the unoffending Massachusetts
troops, seems now to be repaid by new
demonstrations looking to more murders
and greater treason. We trust that ,the
next outbreak will call forth the sword Of
Justice from its sheath, and that an example

who may found in arms against the right

sins Of TINT city, and the lime has now
come when they must be made to know

In the interview which HI. 'Adams had with
Lord John Russell the former very
distinctly expressed the strong belief: thst

from. those which are just now being read
with 50 much interest in Paris In the published

am sw-ahiding citizen--a thorough 1aY-
and-order man. I deplore 1lluncoustitItional
Or unlawful steps o. the Administration,
though they be taken with the laudable object
OF preserving the Constitution and the laws
for cgts to come. particularly deplore the
unw11tjpgness Of the Administfatioa to obey
wits Of hdbeas corpus, but insist that Chief
justice Taney is the last man to sickle for fhe
sIdt1ationA
Last January, while the imbecilo Buchanan
occupied the Chief Magistracy, aud. treason
ran hot unchecked, q venerable old gentleman
from New York, Francis Treadweu, WIZ, hal
In former years obtained some celebrity as
one Of the council Of Dorr, aud is known as
q man Of the most unhlemished character,
presented an a4nd.vit to Chief Justice Taney,
IN which he charged Cobb, Davis and Toom6s
with treason, and named Winfield Scott,
James Buchanan, Thomas II: Hicks and some
Others, as wtlneeses. He asked for the issuing
Of wsrrant Of arrest, summoning the wit
ne6ses, and that the criminals be dealt with
according to law. Taney put the affidavit In
his pocket, carried 1t about for three days,
and fheu told Mr. Treadwel that he con1d not
act In the matter. Now, If the letter of the
lhw Is superior to all political considerations,
Taney fhould have Issued his warrant, com
ni:ted Cobb, Davis and Toombs for trial, aud
Il THEIR guilt Eas estab1tahed, sentenced thsm
to tho galloWe. It vas his duty to do his part
Of the business, and rely upon IN honest jury

the rlain Path cf truth, or If the President de-
sired to Interfere and shield the traitors by .

But Mr. Tanty appeals to the supremacy OF
