Death to Traitors
That old Serpent called &7tan„after

[ the. Omnipotent; by promise of giving
. all the fertile valleys ana - beautiful
I plains with the glories of earth, if ho
! would bow down and worsbipfAim ;
j - s t the same time tlie poor devil d|d not
j own one foot of land. - The, same evil
spirit scorns Vo have possessed the
j . traitors who are now endeavoring to
overthrow the institutions and pur
poses of- the best government that
i Over existed amongst men. The
Constitutional provision for the pun-
I .ishment of. treason', is as clearly
, defined in the laws Of the United
States and as easily understood, as
was the-rebuke administered to the
arch-fiend upon the mountain top,
i:Get thee hence.” pur law .which
seems to be doubly sanctioned by the
; . higher law, emphatically declares that
the life of the traitor shall be for
feitcil.
I The ndforlnnate criminal who ha«
taken thl Mfo of his !tnd
I drags out,the. few miserable days and
nigUls iTi his lonely dungeon until the
I day of his execution arrives,is not more
■ -worthy of dcatlj than the unfaithful
-citizen' who rebels against his coun
: trj~. I'hcse aidingjind assisting an-
Pother in the commission of murder.'
i although their bands may not have
have Joined with his in dealing the
fatalblofv, yet they are guilty ot , the
! same crime and deserving of the same
.punishment.,- So treason-- is treason,
whether it ;sia!ks abroad at noon-day:
or as the,cowardly assassin courts the
midnight! dark).ess under which to

ferred to, commenced by> letter from
Mason to Hassell.|dnted April 1,1862,
and ends with a clincher from Bussiell
to Mason, dated -February 27, 1868.
Mason sets out by assuming, from va-
Vious alleged facu,aceajilpanying his
first letter', that according to inter
national luw, there was no blockade of
certain leading Southern ports, On
the 4tli of April, 1862, Busselljmcrcly
acknowledged tlio receipt of the.reb
el’s letter, giving no expression on »he
subject .-matter thereof.' 'On the -7 th
of July, 1862, Mason again addresses
the Earl, or “My. Lord,” as ho culls
-him, or. the sainesuhject, at consider
able length, and with decided pungen
cy, in regard to the' course of Her
Majesty’s government on the qUes
question of He, rfefers to,
the Paris Conference of 1856, in lefer
ence to the mattery and alleges that
after Her Majesty’s government, 1 and
that of France, had recognized the
rebels of the South as a -“belligerent
Power,” tbey (the rebels) were invi
ted to accede, and they accordingly
approved the same. On the 10th of
the same' month, Bussell, through j a
subordinate in the ’ Foreign office,
barely acknowledges the receipt of
the rebel letter of the 7lh, and leayes
Mason out "in'the cold. Failing'to
make- an} f point or positiot oh i the

his attention to “intervention," and
writes.a letter td_ Russell, July 17.’J32,
on that question, in which, amongst
