THE RIGHT OF SEARCH-CORRESPO
DENCE BETWEEN MR.. STEVENSON
AND LORD ABERDEEN.

There can be no doubt one of the most serious
questions to be settled between this country and
England, will be the one of the right of search. 1t
is we'll known that British cruisers have, in many
instances, taken American vessels and sent them
home, on the plea that they had been engaged in
the slave trade. The whole circumstances attend
ing these dOlngs must unquestlonably be made
matter OF thorough investigation, and the
spondence of our late Minister to the Court of St.
James, with Lord Aberdeen, shows that question
has already formed matter of the gravest dellbe-
ration. This correspondence is published, making
three or four newspaper columns. 1t is contended
by Mr. Stevens that Great Britain has no right to
search the vessels of the United Statesmen even
the assumption, that 1t is Indispensable to do so,
to prevent and suppress the slave trade where the
engagement IN that traffic is not obvious and not
liable to misapprehensOn. Even in that case Mr..
Stevenson contends that the right could not be be-
slowed upon the cruisers of the English Govern
ment, to be exercised they have IN numerous in
stances the OF Africa. He contends that
1t cannot be admitted for a moment, that the vcX-
atious seizures and detentons which vessels of the
United States have encountered IN the African seas
can be justified, or re garded as compatible with ma
tlonal honor Mr.. Stevenson believes that the
British must, on due consideration, take this view
of the right of search.
The letter of Lord Aberdeen, to Mr.. Stevenson,
declares the strong desire of the English Govern
ment, to respect the flag of the United States; but
that all the States OF ChrlStendom unite III con-
demning the carrying forward of the slave trade.
The flag of the United States is prima facie evil
dence OF the nationality of the vessel that carriest;
but that it is perfectly notorious that the flags of all
nations may be, and have been assumed, by vessels
engaged In the slave trade. British cruisers, in
exercising the right search such vessels may
visit them American vessels, but the vessels
of other nations, which have given to Great Britain
the right to do SO, to prevent the carrying forward
of the slave trade.
This is a very hasty outline of the principal posi-
tons assumed; and the remark naturally grows out
of the statement that the question is certainly very
delicate one, especially will be discovered that if
the right of search is assumed it follows mat
Ter of course, that those making the search may,
| as has been the with the British cruisers in
the African seas, search vessels which never had
anything whatever to do with the slave trade

cut-a man pho nerer said a foolish thing
in his Ie." He possessed singular pow
er in penetrating into the character and
motives of man, while the rectitude and
integrity of his own nature enabled him 10
acquire an extraordinary influence. AL
though man Of naturally strong passions,
he obtained complete control over them
by means of his deep religious spirit, and
became habitually calm, sedate and self
possessed. AS a speaker, he was slow
and hesitating, and devoid of most Of the
graces Of oratory; but the weight Of his
matter, and the conviction of his sincerity,
caused him to be listened to with great res
pect and attention. His learning was ex-
tensive and profound.

THE NEXT PRESIDENT.

1t is the fault Of most of our political
controversies, that the moment the candi-
dates of the different parties are named
and presented to the people, personal topics
begin too much to occupy the journals
attacks, recriminations, and deiances, in
volvng the character, private and public,
Of the candidates, Their previous history
is ransackcd: such portions Of it as will
bear an unfavorabe construction are made
public; terms Of ridicule and opprobrium
are sought out and applied against them;
while, on the other hand, their friends vim
dictate them with the same zeal that they
are assailed, make the most Of their vir-
tues, eXpatiate in praise Of their talents,
and parade their services before the pub
lie on every occasion. In this way one
portion of the community become ovcr-eX-
cited, another portion become weary and
disguised, and a third portion become in
different to political controversies, thinking
them mere struggle for Office.
The good sense of the democratic party,
or some other cause equally propitious,
has hitherto, since the last presidential
election, kept it from engaging in contro-
verses of this kind, and left il free 10 give
its attention to the great objects for which
its members are neutrality-suspicious. Of
public policy, and measures in which those
principles are embodied. la the present
state of parties, the wings disagreeing
among themselves, it is important that the
democratic party should keep itself in a
condition to act as jude iouS and impair
tial umpire between the two divisions Of
the whig party-giving ready and libe-
raj support 10 ali the good measures pro-
posed By the friends Of MIR. Tyler's admi-
nistration, and resisting, as it may do e(
fnctually for the mostp part, all the bad ones.
This will give our party enough to do, for
the next two sessions Of Congress. 1t is
to be hoped tina: nothing will occur during
that time to throw them from their due
poise, TO disturb their sell-possession, or TO
engross their attention with the compare
lively trivial discussion Of the merits and
qualifications Of men.
In the mean time, public opinion will
have time TO ripen in regard 20 a candidate
for the next presidency. We should be
glad TO see a nomination springing from
the people, forced upon the party by the
popular voice, and not procured by man
agoment, as is generally the case where
public opinion is not very decided. This
popular nomination we may have if we
will wait for it. We must provide our
selves with candidate at last; the thoughts
of all, as we approach the time Of the cleo
ton, will be turned to that question, and
we shall not be surprised if the people de-
eide it for us long before a convention
meets to ratify their decsion.--M y Eve.

upon her. He had not stood in this pos
ture long, before he plunged into the
stream before him; but finding it to be
nothing but the phantom Of river, stalked
on the bottom Of it till he rose on the other
SIDE. AT his approach, the loved spirit
flew into his arms, while he himself longed
to be disencumbered Of that which kept her
from his embraces. After many questions
and endearments, she conducted him 10 a
bower, which day by day she had embel-
lished with her own hands from those
blooming regions, expressly for his recep-
ton. AS he stood astonished at the un-
speakabe beauty Of the habitation, she
brought two Of her children to him who
had died some years before, and who had
resided with her in the same delightful
dwelling; imporing him TO train up those
which were still with him, in snch a man
ner that they might hereafter all Of them
meet together in that happy place. Be-
rcaved mourner ! treasure this record IN
thy heart Of hearts. To the untutored
mind, even this poor Indian was vouch-
saCed in a vision of the night, glimpse Of

ing. There we shall meet the loved and
lost:

To that unknown and silent shore,
Sure shall meet as heretofore,

THE SULTAN OF MUscAT.-We find there is
difference of opinion among maritime friends
whose trade carries them to Zanzibar, as to the
fact whether no the presents of the American
Government were valued and honorably received
or were treated with neglect. One of our most
respectable ship-masters assured US, some time
since, that the presents highly satisfactory,
and that building about to be erected to con-
tain them. On the other hand, we learn by more
recent arrivals, that the presents treated with
entire neglect, and that the beautiful boat which
was of them, was falling to pieces, in conse-
quence of exposure to the weather. 1t is supposed
that the Sultan desire was receive a vessel of
war, in return for his own presents and the sub
stantial kindnesses he has rendered to American
interests.
The Sultan intends, understand, to send an
other of his vessels, brig, to this country, at
early day. Although these vessels are the property
of the Sultan, their cargoes are, at least in part,
private property.-SaLem Gazette

FAITH OF THE SrATEs.-In the House of Repre-
sentatives of the State of Ohio, the following pre-
amble and resolution passed "a to 3.
Whereas, an opinion has become somewhat
prevalent that the Independent states of this Union
will at some future period repudiate the payment
of the debts by them, respectively contracted with
capitalists both in Europe and America; and
whereas, such principle is at variance with every
principle of patriotism, morality and even OF COM
mon honesty. Therefore, be 1t resolved by the
general assembly of the state of Ohio that just
sense of RIGHT, Independent of the high claims OF
her citizens, to a character distinguished for honor
and integrity, should eiectually preclude our great
state from entertaining the crude notion OF absolv
ing herself from the claims of her creditors by the
mere exertion of sovereign power.
ResoJced, as the sense OF the general assembly,
that the citizens of Ohio, respect the sanction OF
their engagements, whether of public or private
nature, and will at all times, be found willing to pay
the principal AID interest of all debts by their state
government, fairly and lawfully contracted

TOUCHING 1ycDEST.-Durng his speech in Fan

lated instance of the terrible effects of ntempe-
rance, which had recently come under his observa-
ton in Worcester County. 4 victim Of this appe-
tite had driven his family from his miserable habi-
tation, and parted with every thing he could sell,
until only faithful dog left VIII kept his mas
ter from freezing by lying o. hsteat a. n;eh, The
wretched man, to gratiiy the demon Of thirst that
ragged within him, killed his dog, soil Ms skin to
tanner and with the proceeds went to his hut, and
held his last revel in drunkenness, and in the
ing was found dead, from intemperance and cold.
The faithful dog was no longer there TO keep life
and warmth in him, and when the coroner came to
hold the inquest the only food found in the place
was half pint of meal.-NsD- Bsdford Register.
