OUR RELATIONS WITH ENGLAND.

A correspondent very naturally asks If we do
not agree with him, that IL is the duty OF Con
gress TO make provision TO meet any exigency
that may grow out Of the difference oil opinion
between Sir Robert Peel and the Chief Magis-
uate Of our country on the subject Of The nSh'
OF visitation.
We answer that il is the part Of prudence, as
was expressed by our il!usrious Washington

that NAV arise in the discussion Of important
questions with other countries. Bui 1t cannon

purposes Of party. The members oil Congress
were sent hilher TO represent the People ; II
they resolve TO legislate only for the political
prosperity Of Mr.. Clay, or Mr.. any one-else,
they are answerable to the People, who alone
can call them to an account.

ministration cannot be answerable for any con-
sequences which may grow out Of non-com-

Under ordinary circumstances, we would not
admi, even the possibility Of a serious encoun-
ter, in connection with the subject alluded to-
but when we consider that the ultra leaders OF

eminent for the welfare of the People-when
we behold the late universally acknowledged
orgnn of the great Democratic party, day after
day denouncing the Treaty-while on the other
hand the National Intelligencer, lately the chief
organ Of the Kentucky aspirant, is repnbhshing
all the assaults on the Treaty which APP

calmly contemplating all these things,

PRESIDENT TYLER's MESSAGE TIE
RIGHT OF VISITATION.

This document which was sbnt 10 the House Of
Representatives on Monday, was accompanied BY
various apers pertaining TO the diplomatic utter
course between our Government aud that Of Great
Britain respecting the right of visitation We pub
fish the Message in another column. The publica-
ton OF the accompanying documents will doubtless
take place Immediately Ia the Washington papers.
! The view of the President that the existence Of
the slave trade with the admitted obligation 10 sup
press it, does not require any maritime rights to
be conceded TO other nations or 10 be demanded by
our own, is Just view unquesionaby. If the slave
trade piracy by the laws of nations, which il is
not there would be reason 10 depart from the old
usages regulating the Intercourse Of ships of war nth
merchantmen OF other nations A general right of
search or Of visitation which is essentially the
thing granted by treaty arrangement to foreign
tion would be analogous TO a right of search given
to police officers by which they might enter the
house of every man the community without needing
TO allege any ground of suspic ionwithoul being
sponsble for the intrusion--witiout having TO give
any explanation except that thefts bad been commit
ted within the limits Of the commonwealth during the
past or present year. The better way is TO make no
new compact. The police officer may arrest--but
The suspicious circumstances Of the must Justify
him and the armed cruiser may oyerhaul-but
with a similar understanding.
| The general mind of our people, we may safely
presume, is fully made up on this point IL matters
not much what theoretical ideas Sir Robert Peel may
entertain concerning the late treaty and the right Of
| visitationso long no practices are autho-
rzed to violate the old rights OF independent nations
on the high seas. We should be 10th to suppose that
any Infringement of those rights contemplated,
and probably it will be found at last that differ
othe. than verbal ones exist between the two
Governments on the subject In the meantime il is
for us to hold to the treaty and enforce II as re
dersiandu

THE TREATY WITH ENGLAND.

Some OF our contemporaries expect some trouble
with England on account Of Sir Robert Peel's late
dec araon in reference TO the right Of visitation.
We trust the matter will be satisfactorily adjusted,
and are convinced that the hands to whom en-
trusted the treaty are strong enough TO see II through
The right Of search well that Of visitation re-
ccived its acrimony from the associations connected
with II. England, when she exercised the right of
search as bcigerent nation, not only sought for
ammunition Of and military stores-tbe only le-
Ultimate object Of search according to the rights OF
na,ions-but extended the search 20 oaner many OF
whom she pressed into her service as British subjects
The nationality between Engli hmen and Americans
being not easily tested the most fragrant wrongs were
inflicted seamer and navgators when Il is the
recollection Of these wrongs which makes us jealous
OF the smallest concession To be made to England by
treaty. The question, however, is purely pract-
cal one, and such must find its practical solution
in tn, next general war. Should England be strong
enough to enforce her doctrine, 1t will become law
until-the strength and courage of her opponents III
in tie same practical manner repeal it.
