THE RIGHT OF SEARCH.
Approved, April Is, 1912.

The London Times of March 3Oth, con-
tains Lord Aberdeen's reply to Mr.. Ste
vcnson's parting note; it is addressed to
Mr.. Everett. After the usualntroduction,
and some remarks on the importance of
bringing the matter to clear understand
ing, Lord Aberdeen goes on to say
Mr. Stevenson persists in contending
that the British Government asserts a right
which is equivalent to the claim of search
ing American vessels in time of peace
In proof of this Mr.. Stevenson refers to
passage in former note of Viscount Pal
merston. addressed TO himself, against
which he strongly protests-and the doc
trinc contained in which he says that the
undersigned is understood to affirm.
Now it is not the undersigneds intention
TO inquire into the precise import and force
of the expressions of Vscount Palmerston.
These might have been easily explained to
Mr.. Stevenson by their author at the time
they were written; but the undersigned
must request that his doctrines upon this
subject, and those of the Government of
which he is the organ, may be Judged of
exclusively from his own declarations.
The undersigned again renounces, as he
has already done, in the most explicit terms,
any right on the part of the British Gov
crnment to search American vessels in time
Of peace. The right of search, except
when specially conceded by treaty, is a
purely belligerent right, and can have no
existence on the high seas during peace
The undersigned apprehends, however,
that the right of search is not confined to
the veriiication of the nationality of the
vessel but also extends to the object of the
voyage and the nature of the cargo. The
sole purpose of the British cruisers is to as
certain whether the vessels they meet are
really American ornot. The right assert
ed has, in truth, no resemblance to the
right of search either in principle or in
practice. 1t is simply Alright to satisfy the
party who has a legitimate interest in
knowing the truth, that the vessel actually
is what her colors announce. This right we
concedc as freely as we exercise.
| The British cruisers are not instructed to
dctain American vessels under any circum-
stances whatever: on the contrary, they

anxiety of her Majesty's Government TO
prevent all reasonable ground of complaint,
the undersigned believes that he cannot do
better than to communicate to him the sub
stance of those instructions under which
the British cruisers acti in relation to Amer
lean vessels when employed on this service.
If from the intelligence which the Off
Ger commanding her Majesty's cruiser may
have received, or from the manouvres of
the vessel, or from other sufficient cause, he
shall have reason to believe, that although
bearing the American flag, the vessel does
not belong to the United States, he is Or
dered, if the state of the wind and wea-
Their shall admit of it, to go ahead of the
suspected vessel, after communicating his
intention by haiing, and to drop boat on
board of her to ascertain her nationality,
without OBTAINING her if she shall prove 10
be really an American vessel. But should
this mode of visiting the vessel be imprac-
ticable, he is to require her to be brought
to for this purpose.
The officer who boards the vessel is
merely to satisfy himself of her nationali-
ty, by her papers or other proofs. and
should she really be an American vessel he
will Immediately quit her, offering with the
consent of her commander, to note on her
paperssthe cause of suspecting her nation
ality, and the number of minutes she was
detained Gf detained at ally for the object
: in question. All the particulars are to be-
, Immediately entered in the log book of the
cruiser. and full statement of them is &c
, be sent by the first opportunity direct tc
t England.
S These are the precautions taken by hel
4 Maiesty's Government against the occur
renee of abuse in the performance of this
S service; and they are ready to adopt any
: others which they may think more effec
f tual for the purpose, and which shall at thu
\ same time be consistent with the attain
f ment of the main object in view.
i Mr.. Stevenson has said that he had NJ
: wish to exempt the fraudulent use of tn
: American flag from detection, and thi
: being the case, the undersigned is unwilling
o to believe that Government like that o
e the United States, protesting the same oh
y ect, and animated by the same motives a
If Great Britain, should seriously oppos
e themselves to every possible mode b.
S, which their own desire could be really &C

CONGRESS-.

Our dates from Congress are to the 9th.
The Senate was engaged in the discussion
of the General Appropriation Bill, and
would probably be engaged on it for some
DAYS. The President had nominated E.
Huntington, Commissioner of the Land
Office, as District Judge of Indiana.
In the House of Representatives, the
Apportionment Bill is still under discussion.
No number has yet been fixed upon as the
ratio of representation. The question
now actually pending, says the National
Intelligencer, in committee of the whole,
on proposition directing the election of
Representatives to be made in all cases
By Districts-that is, in no case to be made
by the general tickets one of great in
terest and some novelty, as proposing a
principle which has never before been acted
upon by Congress. 1t is desirable, GER
tanly, that the mode of election should
be uniform in all the States. Whether
Congress has the right to prescribe tina
mode (unless in cases of States refusin!
to provide any mode of election) is
question mooted in the debate.
The consideration of the Tariff ques
ton awaits the movement of the Treas
ury Department, from which a repor
upon the subject, Astounding in importan
statistics, is daily expected, having bee
called for several weeks ago by the Hous
of Representatives, at the instance of tn
Committee of WAYS and Means.

UPWe would remind our Democratic

and in the best of spirits, and ever since
he has heard of the defalcation of DIR.
Redman, has been practising at the oar,
and Judging from his appearance the other
day we should think he did not suffer for
want of practice.
We implore you, Democrats, by all that
is good, to nominate Charley in the place
of DIR. Redman; we can no longer support
the Dr., therefore, we are decidedly for
Charley; it is our only chance for success.
Will you stand by and see US defeated
by our opponents, by sticking to man who
has disgraced himself and the party, when
we have but to rally for uncle Charley and
thereby insure glorious triumph over the
"Fayette Clique" who have been our die
tators long enough. We say, "come one,
come ALL" and rally round the peoples
Candidate" Mr.. Charley Candle, Esq.
Although he practices at the oar well
as Redmah, yet he has never been default
ter to his country in order to aid the cause.
He has done as much for the party as the
Dr., but he did il in more honest way.
To be sure, Charley "is not an orator as"
Redman ,"is," but he can make up for that
in other good qualities. Just give him one
more trial and we think his genius will
yet shine forth with all the brilliancy of
Scott or Robiou. He is young yet, all he
wants is "a little practice. Hurrah, for
