The call of the "United American, Re

The idea of the leaders of the Black Repub
lican Party talking about the sovereignty of
the people ovar their own local concerns, is
supremely ridiculous. During the late Pres
idential coutest, the Black Republican party
denied in the broadest and most unqualified
terms, the sovereignty of tie people of the
territoiies over their own concerns; they de
nied the right of the people of the territories
to regulate their domestic institutions in their
own way. luey contended tuat tne people
of the Territories were nothing better than
mere goods and chattels, belonging to the

ittle gratifying to us to find, that our course
since we took charge of this paper, meets their
unqualified approbation An old Democrat

to us Yesterday, "I am pleased with your

in sustaining the views expressed by him
with regard to Kansa6 nffairs in his general
message, you acted like a t.-a democrat.
Be bold and fearless in sustaining Dem

will crown your efforts " Our friend need
ecteitain no fears of our pursuing a cowardly
or vacillating course. We are the frier.d ct

be loved and admired for his sterling worth
as a reliable Democrat and sound patriot
His antecedents are too well known through
out the county at large to need repetition at
my hands. Born and reared amid our moun
tain breezes-, he imbibed from his early youth
thoso principles of pure Democracy that have
always characterized his career as a good cit
izen and au honest politician. He was among
the first of our citizens to respond to his coun
try's call in her hour of need. On many a

cool courage and daring intrepidity that sig

no little influence in exposing the anti-republican
tendencies of that effete association.
You will recollect, Mr. Editor, that some of
our leading men were for a moment seduced
from the straight path of Democratic truth,
into' the d.vious windings of Dark Lantern
wanderings. Others again refrained from
expressing their views, uutil some indication
of the political wether-cock would point out
the most politic course to pursue Not so
however with the Captain, Ever foremost
where duty pointed out the way,' he did not
shrink from denouncing and successfully op
posing the intruder from its first appearance
in to its final exit from our country. Mr.
Editor, if you take the trouble to examine
the election returns of '56, you will find that
our Summit-home gave nan a vote to the
ooly Horse candidate, lhat pleasing re
sult was mainly to be attributed to the vigor
ous exertions of such active Democrats as
the Captain and his friends.
More recently, during the Kansas difficulty
was his unflinching Democracy made appa
rent. Throughout that painful struggle he
he frankly and ably supported the President
of our choice, in his interpretation of bring

He is no huckstering office-seeker, having
never, with his own choico, sought a public
position, always prefering to contribute his
influence towards harmonizing conflicting

not mention that honesty and capability are
not the least prominent traits of his charac

tho harbor, or in port at Sagua .la Grande,
were made to undergo this humiliating system
of epiouage; whilst six vessels on the high
seas in the Gulf of Mexico, bearing our
country's flag, were, as above stated, by ac
tual exhibition and use of force, endangering,
in some instances, the lives of thoso on board,
compelled to submit to detention, until a
boarding officer was satisfied in such questions
as it was his pleasure to put.
Besides the instance above cited, officially
communicated with the President's message
in reply to a call of the Senate, each suc
cessive arrival from tho infested quarter
brings intelligence of new and additional ag
gressions of like character, committed by the
same power, on vessels bearing the flag of the
United States
It has occasionally happened' heretofore,
under circumstances of misapprehension, or
misconstruction of orders, or from other and
hke causes, lhat vessels of the United States
have been subjected by the armed force of a
foreign power to visitation and search, in vi
olation of international law, and iu derogation
of the independence of our flag, and in such
isolated cases the honor of the country may
have been sufficiently vindicated by a dis
claimer of intended wrong or by rebuke of
the office offending. But the continuous and
persevering character of the aggressions now
brought to the notice of the country, commit
ted bv a power with whom we are at peace.
and almost within sight of our shores, is suf
ficient to arouse tho just indignation of the
country, and calls, in the opinion of the com
mittee, for the most prompt and efficient
measures, to arrest at once, aud to end finally
and forever, the commission of use indigni
ties to our flag.
The documents accompany the message
disclose the fact these acts of visitation and
examination of American vessels, were sought
to be justified under the plea of necessity for
the suppression cf the slave trade, supposed
to be or actually carried out, between Africa
aud the island of Cuba.
The committee will not go into any inquiry
in reference to such alleged necessity. It is
sufficient for them to know that the assent of
the United States, although often invoked,
has never been yielded to any such Eystem of
police on the seas. They rest on the position,
not to be controverted, that by no principle
of international law, can a vessel under the
flag of its country, be visited or detained on
the high seas iu time cf peace by any foreign
power under any pretext, or for any purpose
whatever, without the assent of those over
whom the flag waves.
Without going at large into the question
heretofore involved as to the rights of in le-
provision. It La believed, however, they will
arrest for the present further like offences in
tho quarter whencj they have proceeded.
It appears further from these documents
that the altered state of the relations between
the United -States and Great Britain, which
must aiise fioui this aggressive conduct of
her arinsd vessels. ha3 been already brought
to notice of that power, by communications
from the Secretary of State addressed both
to the British Minuter here and to the Min
ister of the United States at London.
It cannot be known until the result of these
communications is laii before CongresB how
far the acts in question will bo avowed or
disclaimed by the Government held responsi
ble. It is the earnest hope of the committee
that the course that Government may adopt
! will bo of a character to satisfy the just de
mands of this Government, and, at the same
time, to furnish a guarantee against the repe
tition of the offence. Nothing short of this,
m the opinion of the committee, can be coin-
Lpatible with peaceful relations between the
two countries
In the present posture of the affair, there
fore, the committee forbear from recommend-
in" anv addition legislation to enable tne
a j - . -
President to protect American vessels on the
hih seas from the aggressions of foreign
powers. But they will tot forbear the dec
laration that such legislation must be prompt
ly supplied, should the result show it is
needed to afford instant and full immunity to
vessels engaged in lawful commerce on the
high seas from all arrest, molestation or de
tention, made under any pretext or from any
quarter.
In conclusion, the committee recommond
the adoptiou of the following resolutions:
licsJlied, (as the judgment of the Senate.)
That American vessels ou the high Beas, iu
time of peace, bearing the American flag,
remain under the jurisdiction of the couutry
to which they belong, aud therefore any vis
itation, molestation, or detention of such
vessels by force, or by the exhibition of force,
on the part of a foreign power, is in deroga
tion of the sovereignty of the United States.
Resolved. That the recent and repeated
violations of this immunity, committed by
vessels-of-war belonging to the navy of Great
Britain in the Gulf of Mexico, and the ad
jacent seas, by firing into, interrupting, and
otherwise forcibly detaining them on their
voyage, requires, in the judgment ot tne
Senate, such unequivocal and final disposi
tion of the subject, by the governments of
Great Britain and the United States, touch
ing the lights involved, as shall preclude
hereafter the occurrence of like aggressions.
Resolved, That the Senate fully approves
the action of the Executive in sending a naval
force into the infested seas with orders 'to
protect all vessels of the United States on the
high seas from search or detentiou by the
vessel-of-war of any other nation." And it
is the opinion of the Senate, that, if it be
come necessary, such additional legislatioxi
should be supplied in aid of the Executive
Power as will make such protection effectual.

this, nevertheless, a fit occasiou to declare the
principles always maintained by the United
States as regulating the use of the open or

are derived rights to the people of the United

Such claim, therefore, having no foundation
iu law or in the comity of nations, can never
be tolerated by an independent power but in
derogation of her sovereignty. Neither is
there any distinction to be drawu in the claim
of right between visitation at sea by the
armed vessels of a foreign power when un
attended by examination and search, and
such visitation when so attended.
The offence and violation of public law
consists in the visitation, without regard to
its purpose, when claimed as a 1 iyht, against
the will of the party subjected to it. Were
it otherwise, there would follow, of course.
