1t is my earnest desire that every misunderstood
ing with the government of Great Britain, should be
amicably and speedily adjusted 1t has been the
misfortune of both countries, almost since the
period of the revolution, to have been annoyed by
succession of irritating and dangerous questions
threatening their friendly relations. This has par
TALLY prevented the full development of those feel
ngs of mutual friendship between the people of the
two countries. natural in themselves and so con
ducive to their common interest. ANY serious in
terruptiOn of the commerce between the L. States
and Great Britain, would be equally injurious to
both. In fact, no two nations have existed on
the face Of tho earth which could do each other so
much good or much harm.
Entertaining these sentiments, | am gratiied to
inform you, that the long pending controversy be-
tween the two governments in relation to the
ton of visitation and search has been aIcahlv adj
Justed. The claim on the part of Great Britain.
fOrcibly to visit American vessels on the high seas
in time of peace, could not be sustained under the
law of nations and it has been overruled by her own
most eminent juriSts. This question was recently
brought to issue by repeated of British cruis
ers in boarding and searching merchant vessels

slave Property ina Territories.

The Richmond EhglErer indorseS Judge
Douglas views, most emphatically, in refer
ence to the protection of slave property in
Territories, as enunciatcd his recentspecch
at Freeport. ltsys:
"A territorial Legislature, notwithstand-
ing the full recognition OF the Dred Scott
decision and the Kansas-Nebraska Act, by
lawful means, practically exclude slavery
from a Territory before it becomes State.
We say this may hc done ty td'cfd nee1s.
This should be properly understood. We
DO not say, nor does Senator Douglas say,
that protection may he thus withheld from
slave property without violation OF the
spirit of the Constitution. The point TO be
considered is where does the burden OF this
violation by omission finally rest? Not
with the Territorial Legislature. That
body may fairly and legally refuse 10 accept
4 responsibility which Congress Itself, de-
clines TO incur. Members OF Congress have
no right TO shit this responsibility from
their owa shoulders to that of their Terri
torial delegates. The Constitution requires
that slave property shall bc protected in the
Territories, and il is the business OF Con
grcSS to furnish this protection directly ana
Immediately. lf IRembcrS Of Congress at
tempt 70 avoid this responsibility, and then
attempt to complain of a similar avoidance
on the part OF Territorial authorities, the
latter can meet them with the prompt and
conclusive rcjoinder, F" Do il yourselvcS!'
This is the state of Affairs demonstrated
by Senator Douglas Frccport speech. And
this is all He has come forward boldly to
point out to Southern men the exact locali-
" and nature of the nuisance to which they
are subjected. He has proclaimed the truth
that the Kansas Nebraska act and the Dred
Scott decision are Of themselves insufficient
for the protection OF slave property in the
Territories
The Enquirer recognizes the powerOf Con-
gress to Legislate for the Terri tories in all
matters, and advocates Congressional
slave code for all the Territories, and insists
that the nominee of the Charleston convcn-
ton shall he pledged To that measure. The
same condition is proposed by other south
ern journals who propose To make it the is
sue in the next Presidential canvas
