There is . unanimous agreement 10 this
country, as to what arc cur rights, in the
matter Of our Commerce on the ocean--and,
it is not necessary, as the Baltimore Ameri-
can remarks, to express that agreement 10
fooliob Wanting or senseless braggadocia--
or for our public men to be preparing the
heart of The country for war;" Senator
Crit tepden has both eloquently and justly
said, "He would not dispute with England
about the abstract right Of search, let her
found her claim on what prerogative or sup
posed right she might; but the moment che
made an aggression Gn our national rights
and honor. be would fight her on the fact and
leave her the argument" Thus thinks the
American people about aggresstons. The
British government can have no wish, and it
is certainly not her policy, to offend or insult
this country. We, therefore, look to see it
promptly disavow any purpose to infringe
our rights, and make reparation for any
wrongs that have been committed by lite
officers or agents. We do not believe there
is the slightest prospect tf a var. 1t lie said
th at all the recent outragss have been per-
pe.rstej since the Derby administration came
into power; and. therefore. it is suspected that
they may have instructed the British officers
to pursue new course. But We do not see
that the Derby ADMINISTRATION have reason
to be inimical to us, any more than was the
Pslmerston Csbine,-probably Dot as much.
1t has quite enough to do, to keep on ito feet,
without involving Great Britain in difficulties
With the United States, which would only
embarrase and weaken it's position.
