1t seems to be settled that Gold has
been found in several counties in lows. but
not in sufficient quantities to justify the
expense of washing it. We are rather in
clined to the opinion that all the gold that
has been or will be found in Iowa has
been dropped by land spectators. The
fact that it is found only in very small
Quantities. and over district comprising
some six or seven counties, almost stimuli.
tsueously. goes to show that there is some
trick about it. AT any rate it would be
well enough for people to be careful lest
they fall into snare. The precious stuff
has been found in the counties of Makas.

COMMITTEES on Post Roads.
On motion of Mr.. Seward, a thousand
extra copies of the resolutions of the House
on British aggressions were ordered to be
printed.
Mr. Mason spoke on the resolutions,
showing that international law recognizes
no right of visitation in time of peace, and
in time Of war only coucedes it to the ex-
tent Of preventing acts contraband of war.
He cited for authority Judge Story and
Lord Stowell, showing that no armed ship
of any nation has the right to stop, or Wis
it on board for any purpose, and that ships
on the sea are not bound to lay to or wait.
The resolutions indicate no more than
that the time had occurred when this must
be settled at once and forever, and it is to
be hoped that it may be Immediately set
tied by the executive. There is every rea-
son why it should be. and none why it

currcnce and the concurrence OF the minor
ity of the committee in the spirit of the res
olution. The assumption of Great Britain
is founded on force. and is claimed by no
other than the British, or such as like her
assert the mastery of the seas. But the
United States set out with the intention to
be equal to any nation, and cannot bear an
afiectation of superiority by any power,
even in modified form of visitation. The
right of search and visitation are terms sy-
nonymous. The principles of police at sea
are identical with those OH land. Any one
may seize pirates ut sea or culprits on
shore. but he does at his peril. If the ar
rested party be culprit he is abandoned
to justice, if not, it is an aggression, and
the aggressor is liable to make PREPARATION.
The nation will never permit its flag to
be prostituted to purposes of piracy, but it
must resist every aggression on 1T peaceful
commerce. He had not looked in the law
books for the technical objections to the
right of search; it is enough that it cannot
be permitted, that it is aggression on the E.
quality of nations, that it is an attempt to
exercise superiority over this nation
There are seven members of the Committee
on Foreign Affairs. and naturally there is
some difference of opinion as to the terms,
but the substance Of the resolution was sat
isfactory to all; each is ready to accept any
other form of words that will express the
firnness, dignity, and moderation that be-
comes great nation in expressing its opin-
ion on great question. No prudent man
believes that the British Government has
ordered these aggrcssions with view OF
waging war on this country. They arc
acts of war. but all know that if Britain
wanted to begin war with the United
States she would not begin with gun
boat. Although they may have originated
in a misapprehension of orders, the Execu-
tive properly and promptly determined not
to wait for explanations, nor to recognize
that any explanation can be given which
can conce,le the right of visitation and
search. Mr. Seward fully endorsed this
promptitude Of action in sending to the
Gulf a force sufficient to sink every British
cruiser.
Mr. Douglas made long speech, and was
in favor Of sending out large war vessel
Immediately to capture the British vessels
engaged in overhauing our merchantmen,
and if England avows the cruisers acts it
becomes an International question; if she
disavows the acts, it only remains to say
what punishment we shall inhict on these
lawless persons who have perpetrated these
outrages.
Mr.. Haync, of S. c., spoke in praise of
the gallantry Of the navy, who, he said.

in some respects to the conflict that once

both commenced the scuffle with vigor
