The Right of visitation.

Mr.. BUCHANAN in his message plumes him
self upon having induced the British Govern
ment TO abandon its claim of right to visit
American vessels on the high seas. He says:
Most fortunately, however, no collision
took place, and the British Government
promptly avowed its recognition of the prin-
cipl~s of international law upon this subject.
as laid down by the Government the United
States in the note of the Secretary of State
to the British Minister at Washington, OF
April 10 1858, which secure the vessels OF
the Unitcd States upon the high seas from
visitation or search in time of peace under
any circumstances whatever. The claim mas
been abandoned in manner, rejecting honor
on the British Government, and evlnclng
just regard for the law of nations, and cannot
fail to strengthen he amicable relations De
tween the two countries
If this be correct statement, we should
like to know what is meant by the recent
visitation of the steamer Washington in the
harbor of San Juan, Nicaragua The Wash
ington left New York some time ago with
passengers for California, expecting them to
be transported to the Pacific over the Nicara-
qua transit route. When she arrived at San
Juan she was boarded first by detachment of
marines from the United States trigate Savan-
nah. Subsequently she was visited by officers OF
the British vessels of war, the Leopard and
Valorous. with view to ascertain the charac-
ter of her passengers. Now, here is an ex-
ercise of the abandoned " claim of the
right of visitation, right under the guns OF
two of our ships of war. the jamestown and
Savannah. What does it mean? Is the Pres
dent prepared to submit to this insulting
exercise of authority? Have American yes
sells any rights on high seas secure from inter
ruption by the agents of the British Govern
ment? 1t would seem that they have not;
or. if they have. that our government and
ships of war dare not punish those who en-
crOOch upon them. Let US hear no more
about the abandonment of the right of vista
ton, whilst such occurrences as the boarding
of the Washington are taking place.

terms of such law might prevent the occur
renee of another general suspension. Mar
vellous blindness Doesn't be know, that
the Constitution eff the State of New York,
inhibiting theiLegislature from RENTING the
penalty of the forfeiture of their charters by
the banksrof that State, in case of suspension,
has proved dead letter, and that the penal
'ty has not been enforced Why? Because
the people of the State would not permit it.
They understand their interests. If the PEN
atty of forfeiture, and the Constitutional in
hibition upon the Legislature against remit
ting the penalty, did not prevent the suspen-
sion Of the banks of that State last year,
how can Mr.. BUCHANAN imagine that his pro-
posed bankrupt law, if passed, would effec-
tually guard against future suspensions?
We are in favor Of all proper and neces-
sary bank restrictions, consistent with the
preservation of the banking system.
We would have over-:ssues guarded against
as far as practicable. We would hold out
no inducements for suspension in the provi-
sions of bank charters. Our object in the
foregoing remarks has been mainly to meet
and overthrow the bank destructives In the
false and mischievous position they occupy,
that occasional suspensions such as occurred
in 1887 and in 1S57-that an irredeemable
paper currency, of temporary duration, under
any state of circumstances whatever, are such
vast, overwhelming evils as to render it de-
sirable and expedient to abolish the whole
banking system and fall back upon an ex-
clusively metallic currency.

Caucus Despotism.

ave opposed the aspirant-we support the
nominee:"-Such is the declaration of the
Richmond Enquirer, on the caucus triumph
of JOHN LETcHER. As an 'saspirant." moth
ing was too severe for the Richmond organ
to say of him. Ii was emphaticaly denied
that he was the choice of the people. He
was denounced as having been downright
Abolitionist, scarcely ten years ago; as being
now opposed to the great internal improve
ment schemes, of such vital consequence to
Virginia; and as irretrievably dstracling the
Democratic party, by persisting in his 'aspira-
TONS" He was now made the subject of
ridicule. and now of singing sarcasm. Inan
immense public meeting at Richmond, he
was on motion of one of the Enquirer's
editors, vociferously "groaned.n In every
possible way he was held up as fit object
for popular distrust and odium This was
JOHN LETCHER " the aspirant"
But JOHN LETCHER, &" the nominee is
promised the cordial and staunch support of
the same organ. The Virginia Democracy
are called upon to give him full and
undivided vote. Now and henceforward. he
is the man of all others for Governor of Vir-
GINA He is now the first. last and only
choice of the Richmond Enquirer.
How happens all this? Mr.. LETcHER has
not signifed, by word or deed. the slightest
change in his position. since the onslaught of
the WISE men first commenced. He is Just as
UNIT persO1 ioF Tue OOVernOrS1lD at this
moment as he was then. A confused. noisy
chaotic crowd, calling itself Democratic, has
meantime assembled at Petersburg, and, by
some hOcuspocus. JOHN LETCHER's name has
come out from that Convention as the true
and lawful nominee of the great Democra-
cy of Virginia. 1t matters not that the En-
quirer proclaimed beforehand that this Con-
ventiOn had been "dishonestly'' arranged, so
as to give an untrue expression to the senti-
ment of the Democratic masses. The decree
has gone forth. Like the cdicts of the Modes
and Persians, it cannot be revoked The
Richmond organ swallows its own words,
and the man whose nomination was infideIity
to Slavery and ruin TO Virginia, is now the
man of all others to be entrusted with the
highest power in the State - -
Seldom has party despotism been more
fOrcibly exhibited than in this result of the
Virginia quarrel But this is nothing new
in the annals of Democracy. Said JOHN
COCHRAN of New York, (Once a fierce
Aboiitionist, now Lecompton member of
Congress,) Democrats must vote for the
party nominee, were it the Devil himself

document, and before entering into written
discussion of its separate features. must pre-
mise by avowing that, in our opinion, its de-
partures from the rule of political faith, laid
down in the platform of the Democratic Re-
publican party, are too marked and too fire.
quent, to admit of its endorsement by the
Democracy of Virginia"
After a discussion pointed as lengthy,
in which it protests against the proposals of
the Executive for Federal bankrupt act;
appropriations of land or money to aid the
Pacific Railroad, and specific duties the En-
quirer concludes:
1t is time that every man in Virginia
should speak fearlessly and honestly. Let
the Hon. r NJ. Hunter. the great financial
leader of the United States Senate. at once
take his position on these questions before the
people of Virginia.
Above all. let the Hon. John Letcher de-
clare his opinion as to the position which Vir-
ginia ought to take at this moment He is
not only financial leader in the House of
Representatives. but he has inst become the
representative man of Virginia Democracy.
Is he in favor OF continued irritation of the
old sore of Lecomptonism Is he in favor
of appropriations by the General Govern
ment to internal improvements? Is he in
favor Of tariff of specific duties, for pur-
poses of protection or for any other purpose?
Is he in favor of federal bankrupt law of
any sort or description? Is he in favor of in
creasing the revenue beyond the immediate
requirement Of ordinary expenses. in order to
provide beforehand for the purchase OF new
territories. the establishment of a protecto-
rate, the construction of a Pacific railroad, or
any other possibility, constitutional or uncon-
sttutiOnal?
We are now engaged in advocating the
election of Mr.. Letcher as Governor of Vir.
ginia. Let him boldly announce the true
doctrine of Virginia Democracy on these
questions, and he will at once trebly strength
en- our arms for his support. respectfully
request an early answer from Mr.. Letcher."
These questions are prOpounding them
selves to democrats throughout the country,
and they will be answered Timid and man.
serving journals will waive responses, but the
bold and outspoken, will declare for their
principles as they have been understood and
practiced.
Let the drum strike and the war go on!

ns- The Washington correspondent of the

the Baltimore american says:
While the President has taken pains to
make up an Indictment against Mexico, Cen
trail America, Spain and inferior States, as
was predicted in this correspondence he has
not met the cXigency at all in regard to
England and France. More than this, he has
not presented to the country the true state of
our relations with those Powers. At this
very hour their fleets are at San Juan. for
the express purpose Of eXpelling alleged or
real intruders from Nicaragua, and their Min
listers here have notified this government Off
cially, that they intend to insist upon the
British construction of the Clayton-Buwer
treaty there. And it is no secret in dplo-
matte circles, that the Secretary Of State has
informed Lord Napier and Count Sartiges,
that if this course should be pursued the
government would not be answerable for the
consequences. This allied action received its
inspiration directly from the British and
French Cabinets and hence is not the result
of old orders. Lord Derby is known to have
expressed very decided opinions upon the
subject, since the last instructions were issued.
So seriously is the contingency regarded here,
that Lord Napier has addressed Lord Mains
bury. the Secretary of Foreign Affairs. urging
a modification of the policy prescribed, or
rather presenting the perils which persis-
tence in it involved, as derived from his con-
ference with Gen. CasS. NOT WORD mas
been lisped on this subject which has been
the matter of grave and frequent Cabinet de-
alterations, and the impression is substantial
ly communicated that our relations are init
mate and friendly. when, in fact, they are no
toriously critical aud imminent. This decep-
ton will return to plague the inventors.
This statement of facts has been corroborat-
ed by the news by the Washington which ar
rived at New York, on the 18th inst, from
San Juan. Nicaragua. 1t appears that she
was boarded by officers of British vessels of
war at that port, who declared they had been
instructed to get information direct as to the
class of persons which made up her passenger
list 1t appears also that one of these vessels
of war also went TO the mouth of the Colo
RADIO to intercept detachment of Americans
which it was reported had landed there.
These grave occurrences have taken place
too soon for the escape of the President from
the charge made against him of not present
ing the true state of our relations with
Great Britain. His attempt at deception Is
about to return to plague him sooner than
could have been expected.

The yicisstudes of sham democracy are
becoming positively romantic. Its heroes are
overwhelmed in trouble. It's Had is upon it,
and if its woes be not celebrated by the epic
muse. it will be for the want of a bard-not
for lack OF a theme. As miserable as the
party was before the meeting Of Congress,
the first three days OF the session have made
their sufferings terrific. Beat down and
crushed by the popular sentiment of the
country, its fragmentary members torn aud
bleeding have at last turned upon each other
with ferocious malignity, that would indi-
cate deliberate design of utter selEannihila-
ton The truce at the end Of the Kansas
contest was wantonly violated by the Presi-
dent. who above all others was bound, by
considerations of an enduring peace, to sus-
tain and perpetuate its observance. So far as
he is able, disposition is shown TO evoke
the ghost of that contest from the shades of
death. to the surface Of living politics, as il
there was yet a sediment of evil In It's car
cass. destructive Of concord aud fraternity.
But he was not satisfied with this poor preteXt
for a continuation of strife, but In his mes
sage pours a broadside into the cherished
principles and measures Of policy advocated
by his party. II Is well known that on the
tariff question faction OF the sham demo
craey Is avowedly for tree trade-anothcr
faction for al valorem duties. He flies into
the face Of both by recommending the adoP-
ton Of the principle oi the old Wing party,
for specific duties.
