TEE OPENING OF JAPAN.
ri,l Success of Commodore Perry's Mission.
The China Mail of April sth con
the reports of the success of
'inn. Perry's mission. We take from
fellowing - :
Commodore 'Perry, in the Susque-
atula. left the harbor of Hong Kong

v the Powhatan and the Mississippi
sailing vessels \ranch South

an interview on theMth with the
Captain Adams,/fo whom, after

frieydly manner; but they ob

aid recommended their return
~r raga, where the Emperor desired
meeting should be held, as before;
that point they considered as of
ai,,r e importance than talking about
weather, which subject seemed to
(••• the pis-oiler of conversation in
as in all the rest of tae world.
i,lieve this' was nearly all that
during the first interview, and
• dor utatiiin took leave in good hu-
Ir, which grew to merriment upon
'lilt al!' Adam's suggesting, that in
.- id returning to Uraga, perhaps
:u;)re favorable anchorage might be
nml hi2lier up, and nearer the capi
-:!, v..hich would also be more couve
icht fur the high officers to be sent
Veda, as well as in accordance
1. the customs of other nations.
The following day 4th] another
was held on hoard the Pow
when the Japanese renewed
ixir urrzettcr, about the meeting being
ljraga, where on the previous.
a,ion everything passed in so
and pleasant a manner, and. to
the Commodore had said he
w , ald return. Finding the 1 7 : aga
'.vas still objected to, they then pro
rd where the Mace
,: ian had got ashore, and which they
:.rid to be a much more convenient
place than Kanagawa, between the
pr , 2-ent anchorage and Yedo, as sug
;c•ted by Doctor S. \V. Williams.
l; it after much talk on the subject, the
. I ;:pane,:e at' length left it to the Com

Before taking leave, the depu
..non said if the ships needed water
provisions, boats would .be sent
~upplies; but they were told that,
^x , ept water, nothing else was likely
1_ lc required.
Alter mature consideration, Corn
-14.)re Perry decided to send Capt.
Alanls in the Vandalia to meet the
taur of the Province at Uraga.
I : . .:pt..ldaros was there informed by
1 1. t. governor that everything was
7.Thlyf r co.:,idering the terms of a
ben% en japan and the' United
and it' the Commodore (or, as
was termed, the Admiral) would
to Uraga, it would he. concluded
:stiore the going down of the sun. It
"'apposed, however, that what was
:.tre meant by a treaty was a favorable
r.-Ply from the Emperor to the Prest
.?eat's letter on the subject.
But Capt. Adams reiterated that the
onamodore would not come to liraga,
Irher e he had found the anchorage to
indifferent, but would meet the
Japanese Commissioners at Yokohama,
off the present anchorage of the flag
ship, ten or twelve miles from Uraga.
Capt. Adams rejoined the squadron on
the 24th of February, and the follow
ing day the Japanese _officers visited
the flag ship to settle the place of meet
ing. When the Commodore, amongst
other things, told them that, having
been entrusted with_ so many ships,
which were seventeen thousand miles
from home, he was reasonably anxious
about their safety, and experience had
proved to him that Uraga did not bffer
so secure an anchorage as where they
now lay. Some discussion ensued, but
finally it was arranged that the•meet-
ing should be held at Yokohama. ,
Eleven diys afterwards the meeting
took place; and in the interval, en
tertainments were interchangeikpy
the American and Japanese officers.
At one of two given by Capt. Bucha
nan, the Governor of Uraga, as we have
seen in lieging and other high Chi
nese officials, at once fell in with
foreign observances in toasting and
speechifying. Capt. Buchanan pro
posed the health of the Emperor of
Japan, which was 'drunk standing,
with all the honors,' and was ac-
knowledged by the Governor of Uraga,
who in return similarly proposed the
health of the President of the United
States. The Japanese took their liquor
freely, especially cltampagne and liq
ueurs, greatly admiring the glassware
that contained them ; and expressed a
hope that the day was at hand when
they would be at liberty to visit for
eign countries in steamers and ships
of three masts.
It was during this interval that an
officer of the squadron approached
Yedo, and if he did not actually enter
it, at least was near enough to judge
of its appearance, and to ascertain,
what, however, we believe a survey
ing party had done before, that close
to the,shore there is five fathoms wa
ter, so that it can be approached by
large ships, Theo city is in the form
of a crescent ; and , stands on an ex
tensive plain, with a magnificent back
ground and wooded country; but it
seems to possess no striking public
buildings, while the dwelling houses
are generally of one Story, and there
fore present nothing imposing in their
appearance, except their vast numbers
and the space they occupy. The pop
lation of the capital has, 'however,
been greatly exaggerated, for though
it is certainly great, the Japanese of
ficcrs V.:410 third among the
cities of the world, London, they - sales;
being the first, and Paris the second.
On the Sth, the preparations were
completed for the reception of the
Commodore, who, by-the-by, insisted
on the removal of the screen work
which extended from the shore to the
hall, and which shut out the public
Botwoon 11 and 13 o'clock,
the marines having been mustered by
Major Zeilin, twenty-nine boats be
longing to the squadron, manned with
armed seamen, and under command
of Captain Buchanan, conveyed the
cortege to the shore, and waited the
arrival of the Commodore and suite,
consisting of Capt. Adams, Dr. Wil
liams, the interpreter; and the Secre
tary, Mr. 0. H. Perry, who landed
about.noon under a salute of seventeen
guns from the Macedonian, the men
in the boats standing up, and the of
ficers on shore being uncovered. The
procession then moved forward, the
band playing "Hail Columbia" and
the "President's March."
On entering the hall, the Commo
dore was received by four Commis
sioners appointed fur he purpose.
They were:
First—Hayashi, kith the till of •Daigasku
no Kama, or Prince Councillor.
Second—ldo, Prince of Tsus-sima, (the
group of islands lying between Corea and
Japan.)
Third—ldzuma, Prince of Mitnasaki, (a
.principality being west of Miaco.)
Fourth—edono, second assistant of the
Board of Revenue.
The party being seated, the flag of
Japan' was run up on hoard the Pow
hatan, and saluted with twenty-one
guns from the launches, after which
another salute of seventeen guns was
given to the Japanese High Commis
sioner, who, through the . interpreter,
presented his compliments and wel-,
corned the Commodore and his officers,
and particularly inquired about, the
health of the former. At a sign given,
the servants in attendance brought in
laquered stands with tea and saki,
sweetmeats and other conserves, and
placed one beside each officer. The
regalement seems to have been much
the same as that which in China gen
erally precedes the transaction of busi
ness with foreign officials; and while
it was going.on there was time to take
a note Of the place of meeting.
The ball, which had been run up
with great celerity, was about fifty
feet long, forty wide, and twelve feet
high, and surrounded with magnificent
japonicas, some of them thirty feet in
!ii , 4ht, and in full bloom. Seats and
tables about two feet high, covered
with red clOth, extended the whole
length .of the apartment. The floor
was covered with white mats, about
three feet long by two wide; and the
place was heated by highly ornamented
braziers placed on beautiful Japan
stands. The pillars supporting the
erection were richly adorned with
paintings of birds and flowers. The
hall was situated about_ five hundred
yards from the landingplace, and was
commanded by the ships, which lay
with their broadsides to -it. Several
native artists were present and taking
sketches of the Strangers. ,
The 'refreshments being over, the.,
Commodore andtis personal staff were
conducted by the. Japanese Commis
sioners into another room in the rear,
the entrance to which was covered
with purple crape. . The interview
lasted throe hours, and, as to the prin-
cipal matter, was highly satisfactory
A very favorable answer was given to'
the President's letter, which we pre
sume was in terms a repetition of
President Fillmore's; and it is stated
that Commodore Perry was fully sat
isfied on all points suggested to him,
which, we again presume, were in
accordance with 111 r. Secretary Web-
ster's letter of instructions to Commo
dore Aulick, accompanying the firs.t
letter to the Emperor.
A draft treaty, in English, Dutch,
Chinese, and Japanese, was put into
the hands of the Japanese Commis
sioners, who said that it would receive
due consideration; but the old Empe
ror had died since Commodore Perry
was there last year, and his successor
was a young man, who would require
to consult his Council before giving a
final answer; and the Commodore
was reminded that the Japanese did
not act with the same rapidity as the
Americans did : which was thus Him-
trated: Should several Japanese meet
together, desiring to visit the Amer
ican ships, one would say, "It is a
beautiful morning!" to which another
would add, "How pleasant it is!"
Then a third would remark, "There, is
not a wave to be seen upon the wa
ter;" at length a fourth would suggest,
"Come, let us go to the ships."
That the preliminaries of a treaty
would be settled during the present
visit, was, however, more than prob
able. Its leading provisionS, it is said,
will be the opening of three or more
of the ports of Japan to the commerce
of the United States, and securing
supplies of coal for the steamers of
that country. In other respects the •
treaty, concluded or proposed, is un-;
derstood to be nearly a counterpart
of that with China, except, it is said,
that the Japanese objected to a Clause
admitting all other countries to the
same privileges as America; not like
'Abe Chinese, from whom, and not
from Sir Henry Pettinger, as is gen
erally supposed, the privileges of the
English treaty were extended to all
foreign countries.
The Japanese would manifest more
-nab tbernselves from
incalculable vexation,
.were they — to
determine on allowing other nations
to enjoy the same immunities. as Amer
ica, and no other, modelling all future
treaties on precisely the . same terms.
But nothing can be as yet certainly
known on the subject, for the Susque
hrinna having been placed at the dis
posal of Mr. McLane, the Minister to
China, and being under orders to be
in Hong Kong in the beginning of
April, was despatched on the 24th of
March, the very day a conference was
to have been held for the purpose of
i considering the treaty.
The rest of the article from Which
the above is quoted relates to Presi
dent Fillmore's letter and Mr. Web
ster's instructions. It mentions also
that Corn. Perry obtained permission
to bury on shore the body of a marine
who had died, and the interment took
place March 9th, thousands of the
Japanese crowding to witness it.
Some of the officers Were permitted
to go on shore, and Rev. Mr. Bitten
ger, the chaplain, visited two large
cities, Kanagawa and Kasacca, where
he was well received and treated with
much courtesy.
Four days after the interview de
scribed above, the interchange of gifts
took place. The railway, which is
a circle of 300 yards with its engine,
delighted the Japanese, who rode on
it at the rate of 40 miles an hour. The
Telegraph was a more astonishing
invention still, but they soon learned
its use...
PLAIN Txt.x.—The Buffalo Republic, in an
able rind manly leader in a late paper, cuts
itself loose from party slavery in the follow
ing language :
" But we have no preference for democracy
with a conchological prefix, and with an af
fix of three p's, standing for "principles pre
scribed by purchasers." We have therefore
done. and we hope forever, with national con
ventions,gotten up and conducted by traffickers
in party politics. bone, toe; with their-plat
forms of principles, to be binding only on
party slaves and dupes, while those for whose
special benefit they are adopted, take the lib
erty to violate them .whenever self-interest or
sectional policy requires the sacrifice."
The Pittsburg Evening Chronicle
asks "if it requires 1200 regular sol
diers to take one• colored individual,
how many would it require for fifty,
and how long would the regular army
hold out, if the attempt were made to
retake fugitives from a dozen different
places at the same time, and denianded
the interference of the Executive."
Anthony Burns was a regularly li
censed minister of the Gospel in the
ranks of our Baptist brethren, and

clares that the shackles on the slave of
the Moslem shall fall off in - that mo
ment when he becomes a proselyte to

The undersigned, Trustees:a the Cou
dersport Academy, are moved by a sense of
official and personal duty to invite the atten
tion of the public—of parentii in particular, to
the rising and useful chasacter of this imitttu
t- on of learning. When invited, a little moro
than a half-year ago, to the superintendence of
its affairs, we found it depressed and still de
clining. • ‘Ve requested Mr. J. Illooomin,3dale
to become its Principal Teacher, and trusted
its organization and other most onerous affairs
to his discretion and management. Experience
has proved him to be faithful, efficient, and
practical just such an idstructor as this com
munity need. The number of pupils in the
school is now over sixty. We refer to Mr.
Bloomingdale's advertisement for information
as to the terms and conditions on which pu
pits are admitted, and' for other facts of inter
est; and recommend the institution to the
patronage of the people.
