MASON AND SLIDELL TO BE GIVEN UP.
The correspondence between this Gov
ernment and England has led to thor
ough investigation of the points of Inter-
national law involved in the capture Of
MASON aud SLIDtLL, and it has resulted
in the conclusion that while Capt. WILKES
was justified by an abundance of British
precedens, yet the rights of neutrals, for
which our Government has always con.
tended against British opposition, even
fighting her in 1872, made it matter of
Importance to accede to the demand of the
British Ministry TO do otherwise would
have been to disavow the most cherished
principles and reverse and forever aban-
don the most essential policy of the Gov
ernment We have done to the British
nation just what we have always insisted
all nations ought to do to us.
i Though at the first impulse this may
seem humiliating, yet the careful observer
will readily perceive the advantages ao-
crueing to us by this step Of the Cabinet,
1t fols and disarms England; it virtually
fastens her to a recognition of our doc
trncs upon the "right of search" question
and it will prove disasterous to the Rebel
cause. They had hoped we would not
give the prisoners up, and that as the re.
suit England would "pitcA in" and aid
them. They will realize that no aid can
now come from abroad, II will do more
towards dsheartening the rebels on the
one hand and developing the Union feeling
among them than any occurrence since
the opening of the rcbellon,-COI~mbtG
County Republican January 2-le62.
What comfortable and convenient thing
it must be these times to have neither consist
ency nor public spirit but how laboriou
it must be to watch the political weather
cock SO carefully, as to bo able to &c
