      " THE RIGHT OF SEARCH . " THE QUESTION WITH AMERICA BEVITEB . A separate , but a serious , question arises out of the Declarations iasued by Government to regulate the conduct of the war . As the matter now stands , it vould appear that the British Government claims the right of seizing and examining any foreign vessel . Our readers are of course well aware that on this subject the lEnglish and American

      nefarioua trade- I * is only by process of law that exports © f gunpowder from this country to the enemy , intended for use against this country and its allies , have been prevented . Astounding sophistications of the peace doctrine have contributed to warp or undermine the moral sense of men m . this matter . It i » , therefore ,, not as a reproach that we suppose it possible to find amongst Americans persons open to the same suspicions . It is the . consanguinity with Englishmen which makes us mistrust the absolute refusal of American

      citizens to join , in so atrocious a trade . Por atrocious it would be , that republicans who have some sense of government , —the more venerated because the whole body of the people share in it , —could join in the schemes of that Power which defies law , substitutes oppression for government , and has introduced a more shameless fraud than , the Middle

      Ages could well match . Now , 'the stoppage of actual wax supplies is too manifestly proper to be disputed . Is is , therefore , on practical grounds that Englishmen must deliberate before they surrender the right of search . Nevertheless , it does appear to us that the American case is complete . Properly put , it stands thus . To war upon & friendly power ,

      or to abet an enemy of that power , is a breach of law . In committing the act , the American becomes liuble to punishment ; but he is liablo to his own law ; and hia own country can claim the right to deal with him . Especially can America claim that privilege , since there is 110 charge of inefficiency againBt the American tribunals or executive . America understand a her duty , and is quite able to

      envernmenta entertain opiuioua diametrically opposed . The English Government considers that , for bond Jide purposes of inquiry , it is competent to any ships bearing tlio Queen's commission to arrest tlio ship of another country at sea , not being a war-ship , and to examine it to ascer tain whether or not it hns on board articles declared to be contraband according to English law , under the sanction of international law ,

It is precisely in this very cKsagiree able dilemma that tlie Associated Masters of

      Preston find themselves involved at the present moment . The truth is , that these gentlemen labour under the disadvantage of being ill-advised . Perhaps they are not individually capable < p £ managing their own affairs . That seems admitted ; or wh y combine ? But if they must have a counsellor , why not take some largeminded , and liberal . Prime Minister into their counsels ? If they had taken this precaution , the long catalogue of their blunders would liave been spared ^ we should- nevcor have heard ot resolutions dictating what the

      price of a marketable commodity should be at some future and indefinite period » we should never have heard of continual adjournments , without something being done to lighten the darkness of the operatives and shed some balm of conciliatory kindness ovei the runkling sores which their proud unfriendliness had bred ; we should not have heard ot" these late attempts at prosecuting the delegates , that silliest and most spiteful
