RIGHT OF VISITATION AND SEARCH.

The Senate at Washington were, on Thursday,
engaged in quite animated debate touching the
construction that has been put by the British minis
that part Of the recent treaty, which relates to
the right of British cruisers TO visit ships sailing un
der the American flag. The British minister asserts
that point on this subject, that was previously
claimed, has been given up by Engand-And, in this
respect their right to vistatio he says, admitted
our part. There is, in the practice on the ocean,
a distinction between visitation and search. Ii Is
the practice for men-of-war while their cruising
ground to hail. to order TO lay to-, and TO send boat
board merchantmen whenever the commander
may deem it expedient We have the com
manders of our own American men.o war, oyertake
merchant vessels and packets sailing under the Span
ish flag, and with Spanish papers, command the same
vessels to lay to, and send officer board and in
spect the ships papers. They have also fired TWEEN
ty-four pound ball across the path of foreign mer-
chantmen and thereby that vessel to steer from
her course, pass under the of wars stern, and
answer for themselves 1t is not, we presume, the
practice to approach every vessel that may be dis
covered. suspicious appearance of the stranger
determines the commander
In some have the American man-of-
give chase, and crowd sail upon sail, and at the
same time fire ball after ball over the chase, and in
instance, of chase between two swift ships, the
chase, Baltimore CLIPPER, was determined to raise
flag, and to continue defiance, until she saw the
American flag, when the man-of-war ufied to fire.
This kind OF visit is distinct thing from search.
At the same time there can right exist, an alb
stract right, on the part Of any foreign cruiser, TO
board or detan the vessel of another nation, unless
this right has been expressly granted. And one
will say it has by us to England On the other
hand there can be doubt of what would be the
unanimous opinion Of this country if England should
claim or urge any such rights she has in times past
exercised

ASSUMPTION OF STATE DEBTS.


ASSUMPTION OF STATE DEBTS.
There have been those in the country from the
foundation of the Government, and probably will
continue to exist among us, SO long as the Govern
menl lasts who seek to build up their individual for
tunes at the expense of the Woodworking, laborous
portion Of the people. Does the soldier fight for his
country, his just claims against the Government in
the defence of which he has shed his blood freely ARE
permitted to remain Iunliqudated until they pass
into the hands of the rich unfeeling speculator.
Then, the land is filled with praises of the war
worn soldier, and the suferings of his wife and
children are made the theme of many patriotic
appeals to the justice of the country. Do TO-
reign nations commit depredations upon the prop
eriy of citizens, the sufferers plead in vain for
justice at the hands of those clothed with power to
defend and protect the rights of each and every c-
zen until down in Knocking at the door of the
Halls Of Congress for justice, forced by stem
sty TO part with their claims for pittance to
purchase bread to preserve their wives and children
from starvation. At the claims attract atten.
ton. Day after day we find Congress engaged in
discussing those claims that have been permitted to
sleep until the individual citizens who suffered the
wrong have gone down to their graves broken heart
ed. As last resort, this same fund-mongering
specializing class turn upon the States and General
Government. Under pretended patriotic impulses
they plunge the States in dcbt-by combination with
the foreign creditors Of the States they break down
~ ffab5 JC up state bonds at discount
longer opportunity of 6lehng from the States
and demand as matter of right and jstice that the
General Government assume those debts. 1t may be
well that the people think seriously Of this matter
One effect is very evident.
Those who have purchased these bonds will make
prncely fortunes and Of be better able to en-
gage in speculations in the stock of the General Co
vernment Then they will have more power 10
break down the credit Of the General Government
in furtherance of their speculating schemes Should
these patriotic Shyock turn upon the credit of the
General Government, ask who will or can step
forward to that credit But say these disinier
ssied friends ofe people, the assumption of the State
dets will relieve The people. Is that So Has he
General Government any wayof getting money ex-
cep, by taxing the peoples But, say they the peo-
pie will be taxed without their knowing lt-ah
there is the truth the only difference is, that in one
the people will know the burdens they bear and
in the other thy will be skinned without their know
ledge of the We are in favor of every safe.
Just, practicable relief to the people. But save us
from a combination between Wall street and Lon
don. First, be sure we are right then let us 90

We have hoisted the flag for JOHN TYLER, and
should he receive the nomination OF the Democratic
National Convention, he shall have our best efforts
10 secure his election We are satisfied that he Is
true Democrat Of the Virginia school-and that he
loves his country and its Institutions better than the
ease and cmouments of office. He prefers keeping
his conscience clear from the violation Of duty and
of the Constitution TO the smiles and support OF
political friends He has the moral courage to do
right--and the Democrats of the country ought to
have the moral courage to stand by MIN ana sustain
him. The country was in most imminent danger In
the hands of our political opponents. And unless
John Tyler had been true to bis Democratic princi-
ples we should have had fastened upon US that sys
tenn of measures which, as sentineis ON the watch
tower Of Democracy, we have always denounced
The people just and generous, and cannot forget
this signal service thus rendered TO them and their
country The time has arrived when the people are
anxious TO secure some man as Chief Magistrate who
will devote himself to their interests exclusively;
aud we much mistake the movements OF the people
il they do not think that they have found such man
in JOHN TYLER. The meeting at the Court
house, at this place, on the 15lh--the meeting at
Railway on the ISth-the call Of q meeting at Belv-
dere--and the expression of kindness in all the Dem
ocratic rnts in the Statcshow that the people are
awake and determined to sustain the President IN his
firm, manly and patriotic course.
We may differ from some OF our political friends
as to the candidate--but there is difference be-
tween us as to principles. There several dstin-
guished Democrats before the People-and those,
too who deserve we'll at the hands of the PARTY; and
should either Of them receive the nomination of the
Natioaal Convention in PREFERENCE to MIR. Tyler, we
shall sustain the nominee OF the Convention. But
who has done more for the Democracy Of the country
than President Tyler! Who has made more sacrifices
of f. cling ard interests than he' Let us, then, sus-
tain him Give him fair chance with the other
ddates, and let the all be presented together to the
Convention. The delegates sent to that body will
come fr sh from the people, and w after full DELHI
ration, make The best and wisest selection. In the
mean time let the merits of each be calmly and inn
atty eonsidercd-and we have fears OF the re-
suit UNITED, as the Democracy w'll be. they will
be triumphani.
