The Canadian Press on The Mason-Slidell Capture.--We perceive that the Canadian press still continues to make unnecessary bluster about the arrest of Mason and Slidell. The fact is that most of these Canadian journals are directly hostile to the government of the United States in this struggle against rebellion, and they make the capture of the rebel envoys a pretext for showering their abuse upon the federal government, and making as much bad blood out of the matter as possible. They resemble a pack of dogs yelping and barking and making all the noise they can at the sight of a stranger, till they are silenced by a word from their master. When they hear how much more moderately the English press discusses the event about which they are so clamorous, they will slink away with a suppressed growl. Those who have the least authority for talking big and threateningly are usually the very people who sound the loudest trumpet. As neighbors, if not friends, the journals of Canada ought to have some regard for truth, reason and decency in their discussions, and not allow their passions to run entirely away with their prudence.
