It is a dangerous thing to challenge any
one—much mure all .the.world; yet,’ after
, mature examination of this great question, I
tVb- challenge controversy to the averment
that there is no right of search,'cvenan war,
much less in peace. It, is'monstrous that
Ifnglainl should require of us such’an inter
polation in the laws or practice of nations.
Thqre would'be, perhaps, no excuse'for my
> rgiftng, now, this, subject at Urge, as it de- ,
serves; and it would, besides, do it injustice.
Milt,-on some proper occasional promise so
to argue it; and now challenge contradiction
*S the position, that there is no right , of '
search or visitation of vessels-at sed, by 'the
vossels-nf any other nation. In war, it is.
an exercise (if mere -martial law—the rule,
of brute force—which supersedes all lawf
and reason. l Strong nations have exercised
its- the weaker have submitted to it. But
there is no warrant for it in the laws of na-1
tiuns. of nature, or of leasun. All nations
. ar» equal: every ship at sea. is a part of her
nation. The vessel of no other nation has
«• right ,to stop her: it is a violation of that
{perfect, independence and equality, which is
rife right of Wery one, and of all alike.—
Hitch, in "a word, is the law of.nature applied
to nations. The. sea laws of war do nut dif
fer Inimthe land laws of war, in principle.
«ir reason, Imwever much more flagrant they,
way have become in,practice; and conven

a quarter of a century, war, if dot to be de

must compromise between, some want of
armed. preparation and thbee. free institu

are the safeguards of countries? The must
remarkable revelation of the American! and
French UevolutionsJs that,in every instance,
forearmed power was always vanquished by
the -unprepared but enthusiastic nations.—
Yes,, sir, when the combined arms of Europe
invaded, unarmed France, the militia, the
common people, who elected, at the drum
head, cobblers, and tinkers, arid ostlers, to
command tliem, went forth to battle against
the princes and nobles Who ted well-trained
armies to expected, conquest, and drove them
back, into nearly every capital, of Europe,
which they captuicd. On the other hand,
when France had the largest, best discip
lined, and most veteran-commanded armies
of that continent, the peasantry of. Spain,
the aroused population of Germany, and the
boors of liussia, conquered those
sacked-Paris, and made a' prisoner of the
most successful, general of the age. S-jch,
'unquestionably, is modern history. Far
from teaching a. lesson of ,downright neglect
of preparing in peace for wo?, l-oubmit that
snail resiliency from the moral, nuterial,and |
spontaneous discipline of the magazines of
free and independent nations should console
us fur seeming inadequacy of military prep

not always to the standing* army, biitulmt
Victory and honorable- peace-are most fre

prepare for .war by other thamnere machine
ry and mechanical organization—never
should, .if 'to be a free- people. We must
not go ip war at all, unless we begin it with
what.all Europe; and .top .many Americans,
consider great disadvantages. The appre
hensions industriously . propagated, on this,
head,'are mostly- without foundation. - If a.
War is to be of the Vandal character often
mentioned, und one of its first blows is to be
felt in ihe-burning.of New.Yiirk, I..am as
sured by the first officer in the American
navy that U is-just as easy to burn London;
and that he would answer for it, if Jhe one
is dune, and he’-is ordered, with his choice
of means, he will.do the other.
I say this.in no hostile temper,.ip-nq.me

ernment, people; and agents, know that war

taught and Jeffersairpractised as one. of the
best of' republican remedies fur.' national

Britain may nut prove ns stable ns the youth

events, 1 ’repeat, it will he. safest to let the?
pending.questions between that couniry-nnd
this be settled by negotiation'.. War may
be extremely calamitous to bulb; ,but it isj
verydifficult for Americans to perceive how
war can be of any!advantage on this hemi
sphere, .to a- power, however formidable
elsewhere, coming from- another world to
enforce such demands as ■we cannot sub-’
mit to. . Not-only peers and ministers, but
the brutalities of the English press some
times threaten to punish us with a war of
extermination. Let'them beware of such
ferocity, an’d.rely upon it, it will prove a los
ing game of havoc. Froin these consider
ations, I. pass it with pleasure to a few
words, in conclusion, upon our domestic
concerns. ■ Should-affairs be adjusted, as
(bey may be, between Great Britain and. the
United States, before this session of Con--
gress closes, it will be-the greatest triumph
of peaceable diplomacy begun by American,
ministers in Europe, and completed, by
British ministers in America; and with-the
demand lor search relinquished, there is iio
reason why every thing else in dispute should
not he easily 'amicably, and honorably ac-<
commodated. . In. that event, two or three
crops will pay our debts.
1 Other subjects of difficult arrangement
seem to be settling themselves in advance
of legislation. The mcHow-cd and rational
sentiments, coming to us from North apd
South, concerning the tariff, give every rea
son, to hope that that vexed question will,
nut prove of difiicultsulution.'' The curren
cy question, also, appears to tie undergoing
the happiest improvement, by spontaneous
/amelioration. Everywhere the banks, are
returning to coin payments, wlijcli is nearly
all that is necessary for the only basis of
permanent;settlement of tliat/hitherto
