MASON AND sLIDELL.

The news Of the surrender Of Mason and
Slidel is very unwelcome to the feeling Of a
majority of our people. But however much
we have been disposed not to yield to the ar
rogance and bullying Of the British govern
ment, the grounds on which the surrender is
ence of Mr.. Seward, will satisfy every can
did mind that our government has really sub
mitted to no dishonor. bu. has placed Eng
land in position Of quasi acquiescence in a
principle for which we have ever commended,
but which she mas never before even tacitly
been willing to admit: that neutral vessels
should be free from search in time Of war.
But we have no fears Of the sad results pre-
dcted for this surrender by DIR. Russell,
the special Washington correspondent Of the
London Times, who has by his misrepresen;a-
tons Of the purposes Of our government add
ed greatly to the complication of the difficult
ties between England and America, and done
much to strengthen the cause Of the rebels
with the British government. In a recent
letter he says
As write. there is a rumor that Messrs Slidell and
Mason be surrendered II Il be true this 0Orer-
ieHf - broken up There il much violence o. spirit
among the lower orders Of people, aud they gnor
Of everything except their politics and passion
saturated with pride aud vanity, that any honorable
concession, in this hour Of extremity. would prove
fatal to its authors II would certainly render them 80
unpopular that would damage them In the conduct Of
this civil war"
But the deed is done, and we look in vain
for any outbursts Of "politics and passion"
The pride and vanity" Of the people are
wounded, but the dissemination to sustain
the Administration in the suppression Of the
rebellion forbids even the appearance Of CEN
sure for an act which so prematurely cuts
short the possibility Of foreign war, while
we have on our hands an unrighteous civil
war. The people have confidence in the Ad-
ministration, and will judge Of its acts fairly
and dispassionately, believing that it will
prove itself honest and faithful to the best
interests of the country.
To show how the surrender OF Mason and
Slidell is received, we make the following ex-
tracts

The Subject Of Taxation.

Our old friend, MoRRow B. LowRY-he of
the ruffied bosom and unruffled temper
With that intense soicituie for the public
welfare which impeIled him to suggest thar
the Government should offer 10 each slave
one huHdfed and sixty acres OF his masters
plantation for his masters scalp, has taken
the subject OF taxation as well as the con-
duct of The war, under his special protee-
iion. On Monday last he Introduced into
the Senate resolution instructing the FL
nance Committee 10 confer with the corn-
missioners engaged in revising the revenue
laws of the Stare, and TO suggest certain OBJ
iects of taxation therein enumerated, 10 the
extent of several ioolscap pages. Now, we
dare say that both the Finance Committee
and the Revenue Commissioners will be
immensely obliged TO Mr.. Lowry Tor his
suggestions, and give them all an attentive
consideration. Perhaps the necessity cI
imposing taxes in certain contingencies has
never occurred to any of these gentlemen
and little wholesome advice may prove
saiutary and serviceabie :'and who is bet
ter fitted TO impart instruction than Morrow
B. Lowryf
But while there car be no question that
these resolutions demonstrate the sagaciiy
and self sacrificing patriotism of their DIS
iinguished author-and while we regard
them as quite as creditable TO his foresight:
as the scalping proposition above referred
to, weibeg leave most humbly to suggest
that they are premature. We do not see
how the States caG undertake to impose
excise duties upon liquors, 10 tax tonnage
on railroads, TO levy taxes on newspapers,
telegraphic dispatches, legal documents
notes, bonds, &c. &c., until after Congress
shall have matured its plans oftaxalion. 1t
is highly probable that the Federal Cow
eminent will enact stamp, and excise laws,
in whichever ii would be manifes,'y i'm
proper, and unnecessary for The Legislature
TO cover the same ground. Certain taxes,
such as those upon real and personal prop
eriy are iE their nature apporiionable, and
The State could assume their collection as
is proposed with reference 10 her quota of
the $40 100000 direct tax already imposed
by the act of Congress passed in August
last Certain other indirect taxes, such as
excis duties upon liquors and stamp duties
are not il their nature apportionable, and if
Congress should impose them, we do not
see how they could be appor;ioned among
the States, or how Pennsylvania could as
sumo 10 raise her quota. If Congress passes
an excise and a stamp act, the Legislature
ought not. 1t car, in fact do nothing with
safety until Congress indicates from what
sources the revenue necessary 10 suPpsrI
