psHA. We learn from an article in the
National lntelligcucer, that the British
government has surrendered the right of
search, and We are glad Of it; as clear as the
right must be to give effect to treaty for
the suppression of the slave trade, its IN
conditional Abandonment is better than a
war abOut it, The effect will be togive an
impetus to the slave trade almost equal to
that il would receive from an authorita-
tive declaration that it is lawful trade /;
but whether for good or evil, we shall not
now enquire.
Clarksville chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1857-1865, 1858-07-09

B6S- The press of the country, seems
at a loss to know whether anything, or
nothing is settled BY the position of the
British government, in reference to the
course pursued by its cruisers in the Gulf;
and the opinion seems almost universal,
that the right of visit or search must be
Internationally surrendered by England.
One thing is settled, and that is the excite
ment oecasioned by the outrages upon our
shipping; and the British government is
ready to make reparation for any injury
done by its indiscreet naval officers But
to infer from this, that England surrenders
the right of visit or search, is very hasty
and unwarranted conclusion. The treaty
for the suppression Of the slavetrade would
be the yeriest farce, in the absence of such
right, for by no other process, than actual
visit or search, can SLAYER be distinguish
elf ON We sci engaged in any other tra,' e.
The whole navies of England and the U
States might be crowded upon the coast
of Africa, and vessel bearing the Ameri.
can, or any other flag, and crammed with
slaves, might pass through those navies
unmolested, if there be no means of as.
certaining its character other than out
ward appearances. And that this right
may be abused, is no argument against its
validity, which can be. destroyed only by
annulling the treaty.
Let us try this question by another test
Suppose the vessels of England and France
were in the habit of kidnapping slaves in
the South and carrying them to the West
India islands. Suppose the three govern.
ments, at the instance of this, were to
enter into treaty to suppress the unlaw.
full trafc, and to punish it as piracy then
suppose that England and France should
deny to us the right of visit or search, and
proclaim that the flag protects the ship and
legalizes its cargo, what would this govern
ment do2 Surrender the right of search
and quietly look on while the property Of
its citizens was being stolen and carried
of under the protection of foreign flag
Certainly not. 1t would contend that tn,
treaty, for the accomplishment of certain
object, guaranteed the right of search a,
absolutely necessary to carry out the in
tention of the contracting parties ant
that without such right the treaty would
be nullity. To confer power and ther
withhold the means of making it effeotiv,
is gross absurdity; and if satisfactory
arrangements can not be made, by which
the right of search may be properly ant
safely exercised, the treaty ought to b,
rescinded, formally, since it ceases to be
treaty so soon as it becomes a silly agree
ment to do a thing, without power o
means to do it. Slave-traders are no
going to report themselves to the com
mnnders of armed cruisers sent out /,
seize them, and if they will not do this
there is no process--under the doctrin
now advocated-by which they can b
reached.

ae- The President of the State Bank
has written letter, assigning the reasons
for not resuming specie payment The rea-
sons may be satisfactory, but it is little
strange that anti-B Bank democracy should
be found vindicating the suspension of an
institution against which it has SO long
waged war, in theory. The people, of this
State, were promised relief from the sup
posed evils of Banking, by the locofocos,
and how they have fulfilled that promise,
has been seen. If they had free access to
the vaults, we guess the Banks would not
long trouble the State with their rag mon

usa The Hon. John J. Crittenden {

neA- The Hon. John j. Crittenden en-
tered the Senate of the United States in
1917, forty one years since. In that long
period he has been one of the most con-
spicous, consistent and able of American
statesmen. Presidents have gone in and
out of Office since, with not half his renown,
not fourth of his ability. Less brilliant
than many, his practical sagacity is almost
uneaqualed In his long public career we
scarcely recognize a single mistake. Be
longing to the conservative party, and com
ing fom central State, he has gone to no
extremes. He has been twice in Cabi-
net, but has never been charged with lust
of Office. All manner Of corruption has
been seen in high places; but the breath of
SANDER has never whispered it of him.
The people of his own State have valued
these high qualities, From 1917 to 1919;
from 1885 to1S41; from 1912 to 1949; and
from 1858 to the present time he has been
in the United States Senate. In 1910 he
became a member Of Gen. Harrison's Cab
met and in 1850, of Mr. Fillmore's. His
present term of service in the Senate will
expire in 1861, forty four years from the
time he entered that body, and twenty,one
years, in all, ofSenatorial service. Suppo-
sing him to have been only Of constitution

must now be seventy-one years of age
