THE RIGHT 0R SEARCH

The impression prevails lhat the British Go
vernmeni, iniis late negotiations, has demand
ed the unlimited right Of search, with view to
the suppression .of the Slave Trade. A letter
from Lord Aberdeen TO Mr. Eserett denies lbal
any such right has been claimed Lord A says;
The undersigned again reneunces, as he has
already done, in The mos: explicit terms, any
right on the part Of the British Governmenl to
search American vessels in time Of peace.h The
right Of search, except when Especially conceded
BY treaty. IS purely belligeTenl right, anil can
have 10 existence 90 lhe high seas during peace
The undersigned aPprehends, however, that The
right Of search is DOT confined 10 the. verfcaiion
Of The nationality Of the vessel bui also extends
10 The object Of the voyage and The nature ~ the
cargo. The sole purpose Of the British -erhiseIs
Is 70 ascertain whether The vessels hey meet are
really American or mol. The right asserted has,
10 truih. no resemblance to the rish6 of search
either. in principle or in practice. Il is simply
right 10 satisfy the parry who has legitimate
interest in knowing tie uula. that lie vessel ac-
tualy il what her cslors announce, This right
we eoncede as freely As We exercise.

THE COUNTY ELECTIoN.

The returns will show the success Of the Wing
candidates for the Assembly BY a diminished
majority land q comparison will alse SHOW, that
the vote is short Of last year nearly two hundred,
and about 400 less than at tbe Presidential cleo
lion. The apathy Of the Wings, not only here
but elsewhere, has been 10 obvious, iha. the
vonderlis that success has attended their banner
10 any quarter. -s
Objections had been started against the Wing
candidates for the county, which. bull for the i'm
prudence Of the adversary nigh. have been fatal.
Ah"ahiilavyeT" feeling was indusuiously fam
Cd against one Of Iheui. and the absence OF the
other from the county for several years, was
busily fused TO ALLEVIATE old friends and excite
jealousy among 4hers. But all would no. do.
