on The eve oil The session, on The Right oil VISIT IN
coniradistnction to the Right Of Search, ELECTS good
deal Of curiosity, and some feeling among us, and
evinces disposition for special pleading the part
of Sir Robert, which would quite well become
inmate OF the Middle Temple, Minister charged
with the management of liberal diplomacy.
Although il may be true that the note that Lord
Aberdeen addressed to Minister, Mr.. Stevenson,
dated the goth December, lo4l, in which his Lord
ship asserted that "the right of search is not confn
ed to the vercation of the nationality Of the vessel
but also extends to the object Of the voyage, and the
nature of the cargo"
And that
"The sole purpose of The British cruisers is to
certain whether the vessels they meet with really
American or not"
And that
"The right asserted has no sembance TO the right
OF search, either IN principle or practice
And that
at is simply right to satisfy the party who has
legitimate right in knowing the truth, that the vessel
is actually what her colors announce"
Notwithstanding, repeat, that il may be, and
doubedly true, that the note referred to by Sir
Robert Peel, and written by Lord Aberdeen, to Mr..
Stevenson, has been replied to, it does not
cessarily follow that the right of visthe right Of
search by another name, and in disgusewas not sur
rendered by Great Britain. Mr. Stevenson lett the
note of Lord Aberdeen unanswered, when he left
the Court of ST. James, and his successor, the able
asd distinguished Mr. Everett, has very properly
avoided it. 1t is the opinion here, believe, among
of all classes that the right of visit and the right
of search too closely connected to be easily sepa
rated.
Confding, however, in the wisdom and ability of
President Tyler we do not doubt that this ques-
ton for negotiation which Sir Robert Peel has open
ed, will be honoraby and amicaby adjusted.
The latest accounts we get from Albany inform
US that the political cauldron, in that place, is
charged with troubles that
- boil and bubble"
1t is said by Shakespeare, in one of his last and
most attractive comedy's-" Midsummer Nights
Dream
"From aught that ever could read
Could ever hear by tale or history
The course of true love never did run smooth"
Whether the bard was right wrong, when he
made the assertion, have means of knowing, so
far as it applies to matters of love but, most is
it, that the course" of politics did run smooth,
and the politicians at Albany have found it so, to
most disastrous extent, as will be evnced in few
days, by general and grand explosion. We Of the
Administration party will gain by it.
A long apoogetcal letter from Mr.. Charles Dick
ems am told, was received in the city by the AGA
dia, and will be published. Mr.. Dickens,
learn anxious to make his peace this side of the
water.
Every one is impatient for the adjournment of Con-
gress and when, the 4th of March, it leaves, the
People will most heartily rejoice. Hope will then
be renewed
According to the reports in the Globe and Nation
al Integencer, of yesterday the illus,rous MIR. Ed
ward Stanly, OF North Carolina, on Saturday last
moved the previous question on Mr.. Toland's reso-
luton, in reference to the removal Of Mr. Jonathan
Roberts.
According to the signs of the times, there is ra-
pidy increasing feeling, in favor of the President in
Rhode Island. The Express newspaper, the organ of
the Democratic party of that State in its columns of
yesterday had able article in favor of the Admi-
nstration 1t copies the proceedings of the Tyler
meeting at Trenton, and comments them.
One word and last, for myself The New York
Express Of last evening, contains an insolent and
man-miner-lke attack on these letters, and ascrbes
their authorship TO Mr. S. S. Southworth. That gen.
tleman is abundantly capable Of fighting his own
battles and shall not interfere in the affair Mr.
Southwortb however, am requested 10 say, stands
ready to meet Mr.. Clay or any of the Wallets, and
slaves, and vagabonds, who hang to the skirts
of that superannuated politician, and will dis
cuss the alleged forged jefferson letter, when
ever the one, or the others, are disposed to
do So The less that Mr.. Clay, and the friends of \
Mr.. Clay, say about that letter. the better it will be
for them. If it were forgery, place is so likely
to possess the history of the deed the library and
the saloons of Ashland.
