It was made in the ally of Yedo, Japan, on the 39th of July, 1868, and was ratified by the Presi dent and Satiate in 1880. It Is signed by Town send Herris, "oonsalar agent of Japan on the Tart of the United States of America, "and by proper officers on the part of his Majesty the Ty coon'and the empire of Japan. The House will see fr om this inetunce that these consular agents can not only make treaties, but that they are mach more likely than min isters to foster and In crease commerce with foreign nations. It is 'their duty to viateh over and to protest com merce. They have conneetion With merobante.

All this talk of com merce le a mere pretext; consular agents May not only do the duties which are proposed In this instance, but they are especially made the guar dians of snob interests. I will refer -to Vattel on this point. On page 141 and 148, he Wee the Yellowing language : "Among the modern inatitntions for the advantage 'of commerce ono of the most useful is that of consuls, or person residing in the large trading cities; and -Wipe 'chilly theses-porta, of foreign countries, with a 'cdut• mistime to *arch over the rights and privilege* df their.

As an illustration of the extreme ignorance of the blacks, I will quote the words of Presi dent Pierrot, in 1848, who pretended that all Haytiens who; like himself, could not read, wore to be considered blacks, and all those that read were to be deemed mixed. The.fluy Lien black achieved his independence; but as he bus always present to his Mind the fact that he. was a slave to the white, and has suffer ed under him, he naturally hates him, and all that have any connection with him. Hence the envy and suspicion he entertains against the mu lattoes, .whom he_supposes to .he..the friends of the white, and is plotting with him to bring the black back to slavery. He has a decided reluc tance to every kind of improvement proposed by the white or mulatto, and he will not educate himself. The pure black's are in the proportion of nine to one, rule all. The aaministration ,Of the Government is ignorant, Improvident, en gaged in nothing bat uniforms and parade, in explicable dumb shows, and "negro shows" at that. They have an army of forty thousand strong in rags, and scarcely one third armed, without any kind of discipline, almost without officers, and whose pay, small as it is, is neglected. They are the ebony counterpart of Fallstaff's company when he used the king's press so chimnably.— They heive airensury, kept up by paper money, the nominal value of which, issued for.one dol lar, er geurde, haslallett to twelve cents They have an excessive tariff on both imports and ex ports, from which the State derived its revenue. There is great corruption in all the departments of their Government. Several llizmauda. They die , )11 ttli equality with this Government lb that. Mr. COX. Thdt remark Might Well Willy to one Departlneuf; and if Hayti instead of Ms sin bud been selected by a former Cabinet Oilleir for his dishonorable retiracy, there, would, ad mit be a sort of fitness of things. [Laughter.) Thus I bare recounted in it desultory Way— for /did not expect. Hoyt'. in today—this ecindi• lion of one of the finest countries iwthe world, which, had it been well administered, would rosi ly deserve its old name "the Queen of the Antil les." This state of things is due to the feet that, for the last twenty years of their independence, the blacks have been confined . to thetnaelves and have declined all improvement or instruction— either in law or economy. During this trial of screwy years the blacks bare proved that they are not fit for government, nor competent for in dependence. The conduct of Spain, referred to by the gentleman front Massachusetts, [Mr. Gotron,l proves this. To admit such a nation on n equality with this free and enlightened Republic is as much of a caricature; on international comity as the adut is- skin of a Port Royal contraband to a seat in Congress. 'lt is an indisputable, fact that Hayti. with a population of over a half a million, and one of the finest soils on the earth, productive of the rarest article, possessed of rich mines of gold, mercury, iron, nod coal—an eldorado—has for the past seventy years remained an unprofi table spot because of the inability of its pe o ple to raise themselves above the corruption, lnziuess, im providence, ignorance, and rico which seems to follow the undirected African wherever he goes. It is said that England and trance receive charges from Hayti and Liberia. The Exeter Iran abolitionists have made it possible in London to have the negro recognized at Court ; but I un• derstand that except on Court days, when he 'is presented in that solemn scene of mockery, he is isolated and slighted, except it may be in the sa loo'nis of the Duchess of Sutherland or some oth• er 'inamorata of the African. In Paris we know that any show from a puppbt to a prince is a sen sation ; and besides, there was some reason tvby France should take Hayti under her proteetive wing. But finless gentlemen here propose ottuality, unless ttiny intend abolition entire,, there is noth ing logieei in Chi& 106814 this bill. So long as they suffer slaveholders end slave States to have or take any part in this Union, it is an insult to bring into the Federal Metropolis this black min ister proposed by the gentlemen. What is it for unless it bo to outrage the prejudices of the whites of this country, and to show how auda cious the abolitionists can behave ? How fine it will bok, after emancipating the slaves in this Distriot, to welcome at the White House an Afri can, full blooded, nil glided and laced, dressed in court styles with wig and sword and tights and shoe.buokles and ribbons and spangles and many Other adornments which African vanity will :flow suggestive of fun to our goedArnmored, joke-cracking Executive !

We are glad to see that there a few independent spirited Republicans, who will not permit themselves to be driven by-the party lash into the Vor tex of fanaticism - which • the leaders of their organization have prepared for them.
