"For some two nrinths. past the chief subject of in.•
serest in the sqoadron had been gradually dying
sway, owing to the character of the news front
home in regard to it, and its continued delay. In
the first instance it was believed to be a decidedly
warlike movement' on the part of the government;
the amount of Fire to be sent, as then stated. being
entirely 'unnecessary for, a friendly visit. Bisbee
;pent reports, however, reduce the number of vet
oes, and put ofithe time for their sailing until whet
might be cal:ed an indefinite period, so that we were
beginning to doubt whether any expedition, other
than was contemplated at the time this shy sailed,
would ever take plane. The arrival of the store
ship has somewhat revived the belief in the expedi
tion's Coming oft; and its hostile or peaceful cha
racter depending upon contingencies after it reach
ed Japan. The store ship does nut bring as late in
telligence, by two mouths, as we had received by
mail; but it beings su'lstantial evidence of the pre
paration already made by - the government, and its
serious views towards Japan. I have tome few
thoughts of my own upon this Japan boainese, and
the policy pursued by the government in relative to
it..
Assuming the objects of the government to be the
°Outing uf the Japan ports to commerce. and fail
ing in that to ileum sons point fur the establish
ment of a coal depot, it will be seen by all that both
them objects are contrary to the known polity of
the Japanese government. The Japanese, though
not in the Eiropean sense of tin word, a military
people, ars still even in that light, not to be disre
garded; for they are admitted to be brave,. and to
entertain less regard fa human life „than any race
on earth. They ere numerous, and in that sense
possess great strength; hut a greater element uf
power is, that they have always been independent, ,
and have great Gonelene.e in their ability In defend'
themselves against all invaders. Such briefly is the
notion whose policy of government we propose ;han
ging. Besides they are known to be very suspici
ous; so that, in hiilding•the little intercourse that
has been allowed the several Etreopean vessels vie
icing their ports, the great ditibulty was to satisfy
them that they meant no deception, and that they
were honest in their deelaralions. That being the
true history of the cam, does not the mum of our

Now for the subsequent' movenrent, not forgetting
the chancier of the paopre we have to deal with .
The world is apprised flat the great American r e

consisting of "eve ral s powerful steam frigates ire.,
to claim mire as for violation of the law of nations,
as well of with the hope of ultimately obliging the
Japanese to open their !torts I°om : commerce of the
world. That is libnilt the substance orthe announce
! .sent: Japan, through liatavia, is very soon made
aware of the publication; and whether it contained
the reel views and purposes of our government or
not, the effect produced upon the mistuf the/open,
ese would be the same. •
And what would that effect be I A mistrust of

do in-the trial of arms, it hardly becomes me to
speak, even to you. Tnat by means of our guns we
could destroy much property ,and many lives with
but little to ourselves, I have no doubt. But would
that accomplish our enrifil I think not, because we
could not go beyond a certain point if confined to
our ships. To land, with a view to march _upon
Jeddo and hold the country, woulifrequire nearly as
large a force as was required in Mexico, and about
the same expense. To land upon some small ;island
and hold it:might be done ; but 'that would require
a garrison on rhore and one or more ships off the

such a step would be the must unfortunate act ever
yet committed by our government. it would be but
the entering wedge.to_the Establishment of the En.:

would then soon have an army-and navy that Would

arrealejarer Fellow, Esq., Prfsideneof 'Saa

year note of this morning, retniudimi me of my
promise to give to you the views which hare occur
red to me vi ith reference to the preepects of the Sun
bury sod Erie Railroad Company. I regret that I
have Rut the time to work out the project' as fully
as it would otherwise afford me pleasure to do.
The importance of the w irk easy be brought be

mare. Of Philadelphia, and the great enhaticement
in the real estate in the ti.v mid ccutity and slung

eats. Either, in me inieinew, is sufficient to fists
fy the immediate constrocttnn of the road, and when
combined, 'het seem to be perfectly resisiless r .and
such as to 'ethic , . all interests to emberit,tagerly iu
the work of .ecurilig, without further delay, the tor-,
mense adratitageri it will unqie.tiniably‘prothice. •
I regret ilea my iiin. will not enable me In trace
the progress of New York and Philadelphia, from
the period whet' the latter had the ascendancy.in
commerce and noprolation. I think it would appear
that the change in the position .11 the two cities is
smelly to be attributed to the early connec:ion
which New York secured with the trade of the 1.260
by her canal, and which' has since been perfected
by her Railroads. The growth of the cities. myrtle
sad villagers in Northern New York, which has been
Emily influenced by these facilities for transforma
tion and travel, has been rnn.t marvelous. I refrain
from the comparison with Northern Pennsylvania,
whic't is vastly ?leiter in mineral and agricultural
wealth. Bat you do unt.defire, I know, these gen•
eralities, but rather my judgment upon those points
which my experience may be supposed to render it
of value.
The city of Eric, in our own State, is admitted to
be the best
. harbor on the Lakes. It is th e proper
point from which to base our calculation*, as here
the verions lines of Railroad diverge with their dif-
ferent gauges, viz; to Ohio and the great West.
with a gauge of 4 feet 10 inches, to New York with
• gauge or 6 feet, and to Philadelphia (for in the
argument, I will assume the Sunbury and Erie
Railroad to be made; and see what it can do in the
competition for the great trade of the Weet,) with
a continuoila gauge of 4 feet Se inches.
1 will now ennrider the advantages and difficul*
ties of these three main Railroad nitres, from Erie,
eastward:

It has brio a matter of aptonipliment to me, my
dear sir, shit Philadelphians have, for PO long a time,
exhibited so nnsch apathy •ibout thip imp. rant work.
The Stale of New York cotiptrnctrd the Canal from
lfnf .In un A.hany, at a cost, to this time; of $26,-

New York and Erie Railroad Cotnpany,•thc cam'

more than .70,000,000,• and still these works 'are
setton2 the most, if not the most profitable in the
Country.
My time will not permit tie, and it cannot be ilt
oessity, to discuss at any lergth the importance of
the trarle,(ndw merely in its infancy,) of these vut
inland leas. It is well known that even now Kan:
nosily equals in value our national imports:
What then, is neeeesery to enable Philadelphia

road*, extending to Elmira, and hence to Niagara,
with a branch to &duo Bay and Oswego, on Lake
Ontario, thus opening to• us, not only the trade'of
the West, but of Nerthren end Western New York.
All that is required to accomplish these great put.
poses, I
learn from you, is an invegtment of only

been clearly demonstrated, will be a most profitable
