Sersaton Mason’s Bint.—We fear, from mt appearances, that’ there is little pros- fect oer the enactment of Senator Madon’s pro- position, now before the Senate, for the protec- tion of the rights and honoref our éountry in its relations with the semi-tivilized govern- ments of the American continent. The public are familiar, doubtless, with its provisions,» which are known to meet the views of those on whom, 1n case of its enactment, will devolvé the duty of administering the responsibilities it delegates—the Executive branch of the Gov- ernment. Unlike the somewhat similar pro- position of Senator Douglas, it only accords the use of extraordinary means and powers in eases of necessity arising in our official inter- Course with nominal governments well known to be in the habit of scouting the obligations of international law and national faith. pledged by treaty or otherwise. ' Persons of good sense who do not realize the power of Buncombe upon the minds of the Con- gress of the United States. will, everywhere, wonder at their failure at once to enact this measure of prudence, and, indeed, absolute ne- cessity, after all the “blood and thunder’’ over the condition of our foreign relations through- out the session. Thus they have talked: “War! war!! war!!!’’ but not a dollar of money or a soldier do they seem willing to vote to maintain our national interests and honor. The truth is, Buncombe incites them as powerfully to make war speeches, as to refuse to vote to give the Executive branch of the Government the power to do what, in their speeches referred to, they proclaim to be necessary to the mainte- nace of our international rights and interests. Buncombe is, indeed, King—exacting from Con gress that it shall virtually stultify its If after this fashion, as occasion may require. If, during the recess, the public interest happens to suffer from the failure @f Congress to do its duty in connection with Senator Mason’s bill or resolutions referred to above, no amount of fature “ blowing’’ about war! war! war! will serve to shift from the shoulders of valiant talkers who do not back their oratereal pre- fessions with votes showing emphatically that they are in earnest, their due responsibility for the damage to the publie that may ensue there- from. -EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON OITY: FRIDAY......--.--0----++e-++e3mme 4, 1858, Norttcs to MemBexs oF Congress —Members of Congress can have their speeches printed with neajness and dispatch, at the Star office Price, for 5,000 copies of a sixteen-page speech, one cent and a half each; for 10,000 or more, one cent each. SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS, The non continues to advocate the equal- ity of the vessels of all nations upon the high seas. It admits the power of the British Navy, but denies that such power confers upon her men of war rights superior to those of the ves- sels of the weakest Power in Christendom. The existence of ‘‘ suspected latitudes’’ it thinks should excite Powers to increased vigilance in preventing the abuse of their flags, but does not at all weaken the immunity which is the neces- sary result of the principle that a vessel on the high seas is part of the jurisdiction which con- fers upon it its flag. The Union, reviewing the chaotic condition of the Opposition, is hopeful of the return of the reign of reason among some of the fragments of parties that have been warring against the Democracy. The Union also notices, editorially, the dic- turbances at New Orleans The Intelligencer has no editorial in to-day's issue. _————-2e-- THE WEEKLY STAR.
