THlu DAILY EVttxviNG TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, MAY 2, 1871. i CHANGE AND mOQRFSS IN JAPAN, from the London Spectator. A revolution more strange than any re corded in history ba recently been effected in Japan. Since tko American Commodore in I8.r)3 first threw open the doors previously closed to all, and gave entrance not to mer chants and their goods only, bat to ideas of progress,' and new hopes and fears as well asmterosts, another nation Las sprang into existence, and is now preparing to ran a race with European States. Trom a long sleep of iso lation and feudalism, with stereotyped lawn, and customs from which no one under penalty of death was at liberty to deviate by a hair's breadth, they were radely awakened by the apparition of an American squadron, with a summons to enter the comity of nations, and the alternative of being treated as enemies of the human race. Both the message and the messengers must bave come upon the Japanese Daimios with something of tne effect of an earthquake strong enough to rouse the Seven Sleepers. To realize their position and feelings one must be able to picture their dream of security the completeness of their previous isola tion, and undisturbed conviotion of their power to maintain it against the world. From this to pass in a single night to the knowledge that a squadron was anchored in the By of Yeddo menacing the capital, and with an expressed determination en the part ef a great Western power to open intercourse with the country, was a transformation far transcending Kip Van Winkle's experience on his return te the waking world. The policy proclaimed by Taikojbama 250 years before, as the unalterable rule of Japan, taai remained until that fatal morning undisturbed and unquestioned. This is what Taiko Saraa, the founder of the Tycoon's dynasty, now no more, announced, in a letter addressed in 15!' 1 to the Portuguese Viceroy of Goa, who hod dared to propose friendly relations and interouse: "Japan is the realm of the Kami, that is of Sin, the beginning of all things, and the good order of the Government de pends upon the exact ebserrauce of the an cient laws, of which the Kami are the authors. They cannot be departed from without over turning the subordination which ought to exist of subjects to their sovereign, wives to their husbands, children to their parents, vassals to their lords, and servants to their masters. These laws are necessary to maintain good order within and tranquillity without. The Fathers have come to these islands to teach another religion; but as that of the Kami is too deeply rooted to be eradicated, this new law can only serve to introduce into Japan a diversity of worship very prejudicial to the State. It is on that account that, by an Im perial edict, I Lave forbidden these strange doctors to continue to preach their doctrine. I bave even ordered them to leave Japan, and I am determined not to allow anybody to come thither to retail new opinions." But the year lt.Vl brought an American Commodore for a plenipotentiary "backed by such a naval force as would secure him a respectful hearing," with instructions "to show a resolution not to take 'no' for aa an swer'' and the result wns the reluctant and oft-repented reversal of the traditionary policy of isolation soon to be followed by the opening ef its ports to trade, under the pressure of English, French, nl Wussiau negotiators, following in tha traok of the I United States. Not twenty yearn have yet passed, and in that period, snort as it is in the life of a nation, the Japanese have cleared at a bound the space of centuries which intervened in Europe between feudalism and modern insti tutions. The mayors of the palace, with . their dual government, spiritual and tempo ral, feudal and military, have all disappeared, and in their place there reigns a Kami-de-Bcended sovereign still, but with all the most approved constitutional forms and checks on despotic rule. The princely feudatories have merged into a deliberative House of Peers, renouncing all their feudal privileges; and, to complete tha revolution ef ideas, three of the princes of the Imperial blood are now in Europe for their education! ' If we would know with what object, we have but to listen to the address of the Prince on his presentation to the President at the "White House at Washington: "Our travellers and students, like myself, on their way abroad, will hereafter became bettor acquainted with your country and people. WTe shall constantly encourage intercourse, aad aim to annually increase more intimate and important rela tions. The Government of Japan is well aware that education is the basis of all progress, and therefore sends her young men to receive a scientific education in Ame rica and Europe, hoping thereby to fitly pre pare them to take a wise and discriminating part in the affairs of our Geverumeat. Our Government has commissioned a diplomatic representative to this country, to assure you that it is earnestly seeking for permanent progress in all that is great and geod, as rapidly as it can acquire these eherUbod ends, and it desires particularly to cement more closely the alreadyfriendly relations and inte rests existing between our respective peoples." W ell might tne rresiuent ot tne treat re public hail the arrival of these students and travellers as heralds of a new era for tiiotr nation, in terms ef congratulatien and friendly courtesy! The world has never be fore seen so great a change in so brief a space as the advent of these Japanese princes de monstrates. It reads more like a description of the transformation-scene of a pantomime than sober history yet history it is. Within the last ten years the whole social and po litical fabrio of the State has been revolu tionized. The present desc endent ot a race of faineant sovereigns, sleeping and dreaming away their weary existenoo among their wives ana concubines, sever stirring frem the precincts of his palace-prison uader vigilant guard of succes sive usurping Tycoons, has been roisod from the lethargy of ages. He now not only reigns, but governs a nation of thirty millions ot willing ana aevotea subjects. The Tyeaon, his former jailer, is deposed and banished, and the nobles of the realm have gathered xoura tne Aimaao to guard tne throne. 11 ail roads and telegraphio lines in that short time have been introduced. Straager still, Japa nese scrip is quoted on the stock exchanges in Europe and at 98 to 100 a rate which many of the eldest European States may envy. A mint ironi jjonaon nas been sec to work, ana l&e notes ior paper currency are now preparing in Frankfort with all modern im provements. A penny postage stana panda pos tal service are also preparing, to take the place of two naked runners and a paper b.43. lledieal schools have been established, and with anatomical classes the greatetst achieve ment of all, perhaps. Ironclad steamer rido at anchor under their own flag where n t a Score of years ago aa American squadron took the nation by surprise. An army ot' European-drilled natives, armed with th best breech-loaders, has been organized, and arse nals for casting cannon are in operation. Such are a few ef the changes which pUae Japan in the foremost rank of Eastern na tions, distinguished before all others by its capacity for progress and power of assimi lating the ideas and the best fruits of West ern civilization. Ia ene direction they appear disposed to adhere resolutely to the policy so loudly pro claimed by Taiko Sama, and to hark back to their oldest traditions. They still object to the conversion of their people if they no longer prohibit "strange dootors oontinniug to preach." They have quite recently swept away whole villages and doomed their inhabi tants to death or slavery for listening to mis sionaries. They seem, indeed, disposed to go further Btill, and to uproot Buddhism, which came from China, aocording to Japanese chronologists, somo live hundred years B. C, superseded in a great degree, but never entirely, the native religion, iu which the Supreme Being is worshipped without any kind of idolatry. This ancient aud purer faith, it is said, the Japanese ruler is now bent on restoring, to the ex clusion of every other. And it may bo remembered that in none of their treaties with foreign powers could they be induced to admit the toleration clause imposed by force majeure upon the Chinese. Looking to the sudden and sweeping character of the changes above enumerated, it might be imagined that me Japanese, like tne inhabitants of Hono lulu, had simply fallen under the sway of cer tain ent'rprihing Americans, who had ob tained sufficient influence to revelutionize the State and place themselves in office for the administration of a constitution on the European model. But nothing of the kind has taken place. The Japanese are their own regenerators, although a few foreigners have been taken into thetr service. And no better proof is needed than this tendency to revert to their ancient faith, and cast out that which has been so long naturalized among them as a lereign importation. .. When will China acknowledge "education is tne oasis ot au progress, ana progress itself an essential condition of the permanent well-being and development of a nation? They are as far from it now as they were if the da j s of Kublai Khan, the Mongol con queror ot tne tmrteentn century. And they cling as obstinately to their Asiatic love on repose, the traditions of the past, and their detestation of all innovation and progress, as in tko days of Confucius, who lived 500 years before the Christian era. All honor to the Japanese, then, who bid fair to be, at the op posite side of the globe, what the British islanders have been on this, the pioneers ef progre ss, and with their courage and enterprise to realize Taiko Sama's dreaai if not of an nexing the inert colossus, China, only separated by a narrow belt of sea, ef far outstripping it in tne raoe ot me ana tne acquirement of power to maintain their independence not by 1 1 1 1 1 - J 1 I . . M . uermeucttiiy ciusiug ineir pons, out DJ ireeiy opening tnem to tne commerce ot all nations. Not, as the Chinese vainly strive, by refus ing access, so far a3 they dare, and blindly treading round and round the name vicious circle of ignorance and prejudice; but by going forth with their eyes wide open into all lands, and profiting by the experience and accumulated results of ages of progress and scientino culture.
