SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS
The Union, adverting to the doubts that
have been expressed as to the completeness of
the settlement Of the Right of Search Question,


have been expressed as to the completeness of
the settlement Of the Right of Search Question,
says: N
"The facts are briefly these: When the Eng
lish Cabinet repudiated the claim OF rlgnt 10
search or visit our vessels, and abandoned the
practice they suggested at the same time to our
Government that great abuses might take place
entitled to IL, and proposed that some plan
should be az reed upon by which the nationality
of vessels might be verified. and thus these
abuses prevented. They stated, at the same
with this view, that a boat should be permitted
20 come alongside the vessels, but should not
enter unless allowed TO do so And our Govern
ment was invited to propose some plan which
provide Tor an adequate veri fcation
TO THIS proposition II was answered, that the
American Government saw great difficulty In the
way OF reconciling any examination with that
entire immunity of our vessels. which was
dear to the American people, and had no prOpO-
sit1on TO make upon the subject. But ii was
added, that IL the British Government would
submit any project for that purpose, II would be
fully considered by the Government of the United
States This is all that has passed upon the sub
ject, and here the matter rests. Should the Uni
ted states agree to any plan upon this subject
that conventional arrangement will settle this
point. III II does not take place the parties will
occupy their respective positions under the law
OF nations that neither Of them has the rig hit to
enter by force the vessels of the other under any
circumstances whateveF.''
The Union further advocates a vigorous. DOL
icy In regard to the Indians, and demands tina
the cowardly assaults upon Col. Steptoe's COM
mand should be punished with severity
The InteIiigeRcey, in reply to some structures
of the Union, treats, under caption of the In
dependence of the Representatives, of defects
