arises once more the great qnesion OF the Hgnt OF
search This country has always commended against
the right OF search vi claimed rs British; We went
to with that powerful Boosting nation in defence
of this psiucipbe and ready to 60 TO- war again
rather Than ooncede the point The British had No
right to Ere into this vessel she was engaged in
the slave trade; she was sailing under American

never has and never will conssn, 10 = mixed or mu
taal csmmission with the British Government in
order TO put down piracy simply because It VIII net
eonceLe to the British the All important right Of
search. But in this instance. the Catherine conld
not be boarded and seized pirate; she was the
property Of Allen & Henderson,; was sold under
contingent contract to be delivered at Bonne the
coast Of Africa, by the LIST of October; and this
contract was not fulfilled.
Now, the course for this government to pursue in
this matter Is very plain. We must do all in our
power to suppress the slave trade, but we must
never give up the right of search-never! An
American vessel, the Marion, has been sent to the
Coast OF Afrcato suppress the slave trade; and the
Dolphin sails thither shortly; they ought TO have
been sent there before, but that does not alter the
conduct Of the British. We mast never. allow the
latter the right ofsearch, 70 insult flag, under
any preext and the President is bound to ailude to
this matter in his. ssage, with view to redress
nation.
These are A. the remarks we can spare room for
today on this highly important topic; we shall re.
we would remark that these not the only out
RACES alleged against the British cruisers. 1t is
said that they have frequently taken loaded savers
into Havana, sod the slaves, and pocketed the
money 1t ishigh time that our executive looked
into this matter. Again we say, let the President
come out in his message and denounee the whole
transaction. The honor of the nation demands it,
CONCERT ToNrcHr.-Miss Shrref and Mr.. Will
give their last concert tonight, at Nibos Grand
Saloon. The bill isunusually attractive. Go early.
AwNISss.-We call the attention Of the proper au-
thorites to the dangerous practice Of leaving avn
ings up after dark One citizen has been killed by
this practice; and yesterday, during the storm, the
awning in front Of Pattesson's, under the Astor
House. blew down, and nearly killed lady. The
~
was left up, and nearly tore the posts down.

stars--so il 10 said. What is the matter2 The
BsweYy seems to be the only theatre now snakng

theatre!
