"The only security that nothing is to be found inconsistent with amity and the law of nations, known to the law of nations," said Lord Stowell, in the celebrated case of Maria, "is the right of personal visitation and search to be exercised by those who have an interest in making it."

They say, or said, that they are not blockading their own ports, but are simply enforcing a law which has closed the Southern ports as ports of entry. They insist upon putting their quarrel upon the same ground as if the Queen of England were putting down a re
