he Embassy of Japan arrived in this oity on
'Saturday afternoon. The movement* of this dis
tinguished body of strangers since they left Japan,
have been rendered familiar to onr readers by the
frequent, fall, and graphic reports published in
the columns of Tk* Press. If we may be permit
ted a word of retrospective history, we might say
that the origin of this Embassy is attributable te
the diplomatic shill of Townsend Harris, Esq., oar
Oontui General at Japan, who, baying impressed
on the Japanese*the importance of becoming more
acquainted with foreign nations/persuaded the au
thorities to stipulate in the last treaty that an
embassy should be sent to the United Stateswithia
a limited period. Although the Japanese Govern
ment subsequently endeavored to annul this obli
gation, Commissioner Harris would not consent to
it, maintaining that it was* for the mutual advan
tage of both nations that it should bo fulfilled.
The finding tyr. Harris fixed in this'pur
pose, yielded to him, and eommisrioned the Em
bassy which has just arrived in Philadelphia.

THE EMBASSY AMD ITS HIBTOBT.
. Tfib Embsssyconsiats of tiro Ambassadors Pleni
potentiary, who are noblemen of the highest rank;
two other* of nearly equal rank; a Censor, and a
Vice Governor; together with otjer officers, inter
preters,.and servants, to the cumber of seventy-six.
Fifty-four of these are more servants or personal
attendants of the higher ofjSoers. The officers of
the Embassy are *0 follows 1 T
1. Simme-Boosen No-Kami. He is First Ambas
sador withbtgheat power.
2. Moor Agoki Awadsi, No-Kami, Assistant Am
bwsor,
3. Ogooii Bongo, No-Kami, Censor or Go
vernor.
• 4. Moroota Okataro, Treasurer.
; 5.-Narons* Genriro, Lieutenant Governor,looks
for orders to First Ambassador.
6. Tsoe Cahara Governor.

18. Btjjee Yoseegoro, Aid to Treasurer.

17. Morayama, Doctor.
18. Tatataf Tekushuro, Interpreter.
Is .. TftUtai Omegero, Assistant Interpreter.
20 Kowasakl, Doctor..
Peveral of tbe Embassy can ppeak broken Eng*
lUh, bat tbe one most conversant with our language
is Taiaiai Omerego, or, as be Is familiarly known to
us, Tommy. Tbe chief Ambassador is.among tbe
highest in rank in the Empire. We may mention,
by, tbe way/that there are oyer two hundred
jprinees or nobles in Japan. These vary some*
"what In rank, according to the slse and import
anoe of the province oyer whioh they preside, or
whioh may be theirs by hereditary right. Some
proviooes can muster 60,009 soldiers; others,
again, not 9,000. The rank of the four principal
dignitaries f e find as follows:
1. Ambassadors. No-Kami.
(Simme, Lord or Prince of the province of Bujen.)
Simme is tfae hereditary same of this prince, who
ranks a little higher, cr is more powerful In Japan,
than the following:
2. Ambassador.—'Moor Agoki Awadri, No-KamL
whioh means Lord or Prince of the province of
Awftdst.
Censor Ogoori Bnngo, Lord or Prinoe of the
province of flungo.
These three are hereditary princes nr jrplprs of
provinces, and about equal in rank. Theproper title
of a each in England would be bis Koyal Highness,
and in the United States his Excellency, being the
highest title under the sovereign or ruler. The
office of oensor has been misinterpreted by some of
the correspondents of the newspapers. His posi
tion corresponds with that of georotary of legation;
his duty being to record everything whioh happens
and forward it to the Tycoon.
. 4. Moroat* Oka taro, sat* &i treasurer, and dn
account of his eminent abilities as a statesman, his
sound judgment and prudehoe, and the confidence
reposed in him by his Imperial ruler, he has boon
sent along with tfae Embassy, clothed with very
'high powers/ He may be called tfae pord Palmer
ston of the delegation, as nothing can be done
without his approval. As we said before, these
officers are from the nobility advisors and ooun*
sellors of the Tycoon.
The duty imposed by the Emperor of Japan
upon the Ambassadors was to ratify tbe treaty
with the United State?, an£ to arrange all business
so as to secure perpetual pease and friendship be*
tween the two-nations. They will restrain tho
under officials from misdemeanors, whioh, should
they occur, will bo punished. Should Japanese be
wrecked on our shores, they will provide for their
application to tho proper authorities for a safe ro
tarn home.
The Embassy arrived at Sau Franolsco on the i
29th of April, at half past nine o’olock in the morn*
ing, on board tbe United States steamer Powhn
tan, under command of Captain G. F. Pearson,
and bearing the broad perm ant of Commodore Tnt
nail. They received by the authorities of i
Pan Francisco with the most enthosiaatip demon-!
Strattons of respeot . The Ambassadors, however, 1
refused any public reception* their idenof etiquette |
being that they should present themselves first at
the court of the United States Government; so.
therefore, ns soon as the Powhatan had under* j
gone some trifling repairs, they left San Franolsco
for Panama, and arrived at Sandy Hook on the
evening of May the ninth. The intention was to
ha7o proceeded to New ? ork city; but this arrange.
mentwai6hange4> the Embassy went to Hamp
ton roads, and from thenee to Washington city,
where they arrived on May. the thirteenth.
We need not detail the doings of the Japanese
In Washington, familiar as they rto te our readers*
They were received by the President on the morn
ing of May the lfth. They remained in Washing
ton visiting the various public institutions. They
bade farewell to the President on June the sth, re*
ceiving from that official appropriate medals in
honor of their visit.
We published on Saturday the reception of the
Japanese in onr sister city of Baltimore, and the
incidents attending thg demonstration.
THE' EMBASSY- in fiALTIMOBB,
The display of fireworks seemed to be the'mos*
attractive feature of the celebration in the Monu
mental City, and produced a great impression on tb e
visitors This ay took place on Friday even*
ing in Monument Square, and ye? yjtpesied by
tem of thousands—the Japanese viewing it from j
the Glim or House. The vast multitude of human '
beings congregated in and about the Square, com
pletely blocked up every avenue of approach, and
hundreds of persons were compelled to leave, un
able to got within sight of the stand on whioh the
flrevorfr jypre placed. Volandt’s • band, stationed
OH the third-story balcony, ppnstantly played many
enlivening airs. The first piece dUoharged png &
representation of an Egyptian pyramid, whioh
threw a number of jets to the height ot fifty or
rixty feet, brilliantly illuminating the air.
The second piece was the representation of a Ja
panese fan, composed of wheels of lanoe-work and
This piece was well reeeived by tho
erewd, who at once perceived the similarity of this
fire fan to those whioh are carried by the Jap&neso
The third piece was termed a*“ Polka Dance ”
It consisted of a large wheel, twelve feet in diame
ter, with sexagoa wheels, all reversing each other
in their revolutions, and of a different' colored fire.
The fourth piece represented a star, made *of

DKPARtUBU FROM BALTIMORE.
It being known that the Embassy would mriHjf'
Baltimore on Saturday, crowds assembled earty in
the morning in Monument Square; to witness their,
departure. Before eight and a half o’oloek, ther
space.in front of the Hotel was blocked up by a*'
mass of human beings, who eagerly pressed, to
wards the steps of the Oilmor, but were prevc&Udi
from entering by tho interference of the .£awj
Grays, under the command of Captain Thomas fW/i
Bowers, who had remained during the nighty and]
were hospitably entertained by the liberal proprle*
tor, Mr. Stone The Princes breakfasted alone in
the morning, while tboofioers, eiitoon in number,
breakfasted in iho gentlemen’s ordinary, four Of
whom are physicians, and distinguished by their
beads being olosely shaven The offioers or the
Navy took breakfast alone in a parlor.
Towards nlno o’olock, preparations were made
for leaving, and the baggflgeHrought out, wblohi
filled five furniture oars. In a short time, the
and his aids arrived, and after censulttog together,;
began to make preparations for their departure.!
The arrangements having been completed, at nine!
and a half o’clock the Mayor and his aids tooled
their seats in an open barouche, followed by tbe*
officers of tho JjTayy, tho Embassy and iheir'atK
tendants, who oooupled in all fourteen open ba»*;
touches, famished by Mr. James H. Stowart, otf
Calvert street, wbloh were decorated In a beautiful’
maimer by tbo American and Japanese flags.' All
having been seated, the procoasion moved up Gal*!
vert to Baltimore street, headed by the I»aw Grays,j
with a band of mnsie, and turning down Baltimore 1 '
street, were followed by an immense
who thronged around the carriages, anxious to get
the Japanese to write their names on cards, which'
they presented to them for that purpose. Thd'
sidowalk* and windows were orowded with ladles,
who waved their kandkor>?bie& \o (fcp passing,
strangers.
We may state, as an instance of this avidity for
knowledge, that while a member of the oommlttee
sneezed. Tommy Instantly
-asked, “What do-yon call that?” The answer
was, “ Tommy drow oat a oard, and
.Iwtfsted ujea’hAvlng. th© word written for him,
ftfjer which'fce'read H over and over again, for the
purpose of fixing it In hie memory. Tommy had a
small daguerreotype of a young lady fn Washing
ton which he carried in bie girdle, and which he
’lnsisted upon showing to every member of the com
mittee, with the remark that tho original was twice
•as beautiful as tbo portrait When questioned
about the truth of a rumor that ho had cried-when
he left Washington, he admitted the fact, saying
rtilat'he liked that oity very much.' fie preferred
? lt to Balti&ete, his recolleotlon-of that eity being
‘the steam'engines and fire-works. 'He thought the
Reworks were beautiful, and the steamers some- '
.thing supernatural. Tommy, don't like tobacco, ;
r *pd when one of ’the oommltteo oShred him a plug 1
■ie refused ft with a look of disgust. , |
M When the train roaebod/B point some distance
fiom Elkton 4he train was stopped, by order of
euaptaln Dupont, to give the Ambassadors an op- !
jpbKuQUy of examining the locomotive. Several of
tMra availed themselves of this invitation, and one
ok two of the officers expressed a desire to ride on
tiie locomotive-up to the city. Tommy, however,
was the only one who had the courage to try the
experiment, and on board the locomotive ho ar* |
'rived at tho deptj. |
: Tho lnaido of the oar in wbloh the Embassy rode '
Was beautifully deoorated with ribbons of different!
colors, andf the flags of Japan and America. The I
k front of the locomotive was also similarly deco* \
rated, and in tbe middle of the decorations was
insponded a portrait Of Daniel Webster. |
The fliers of the Japanese noblemen is marked |

very cordially, and introduced them to the Km

Mr. Simons. on behalf of the committee, said :
It affords me great pleasure, your excellencies,
to welcome you at this point, on the part ot the
people and authorities of Philadelphia, and to ex
tend to you the warmest and most friendly hospi
talities of 'the first manufacturing and one of the

Siuinje-Boojen-No-Kaml responded' through the
interpreter, cay tag he thanked (he people of Phila
delphia for their kindness, and would be pleased
to accept the hospitalities of a*olty which ho had s<>
often desired to see.
The different member! of the deputation were
presented to the Japanese, who received them with
much dignity and suavity. The badge worn by
the oommitteo excited much attention among the
Japanese. They recognised the Japanese colors
and the inscription in Japanese characters on tho
badgo, (viz : “Wolcome to our Japanese friends”)
with many demonstration? of delight, saying,
'•'good ! good! Japanese! ’Merio&n!” and other
exclamations of an untranslatable nature.

On both sides of tho river large crowds of people
had collected, and as tho train passed along they
greeted tho Embassy with loud cheers. A lunch
wns served to tho company on board the train
one of the apartments of the car being fitted up as
a temporary restaurant. Tho repast was very sim

ohicken, a common roll nnd ft glass of port or cham

cellaneous method of eating, end when the repast
w»8 (IrAt offered, they declined In a polite and dig

through the interpreter, that in all probability
the hospitalities of tho oity of Philadelphia would
be prolonged to mob an unreasonably lato hour

they arrived at their quarters. This explanation
scorned to satisfy their patrician soruples, and they
proceeded with their meal.
The Japanese seam to have an espooial liking for
ohampsgno nnd port wine. Tho servants were con
fined to port, white tho officials quaffod their Ver
zrtfay and oolden Seal in a manner that would do
credit to a city oonnciltnan at a pubUo dinner. Tho
Priwen, h*wovor, confined themselves to a single
glass, evidently afraid of tho effect whioh “ the
dulcet, and dreamy ” compound would
have upou thoir understanding:. After eating thoy

a very difficult one, and does not permit of that
lengthened period of dreamy reposo whioh the
Hollander, with his* well-filled meerschaum devout

again and again, until the smoker's desires aro sa

Smoking done, a grdat many of tho officials be
took themselvos to &s qaiot a ropoeo as the jolting
of the oar would admit. The artist, one or two of
the prlnoes, the interpreters, and one or two others,
M«mei io enjoy the scenery, and to look with groat

At different points on the road, particularly at
Elkton, Newark, Wilmington, end Chester, larg e
lOrowdsof people had assembled from the surround
}Bg bopntijr to catch a glimpse of the Oriental visl
tdrs. - The , speed of the train was slackened as

Captpln Dnpont, for tho purpose of gratifying the
cariosity,oftho orowd. The servants of the Em
bastyjdld the honors, the Ambassadors rarely deign
,Jng,a Joek upon the enthuslastlo Amerioans. ■ In
,the, servants’ par the windows were opened, and
the shouts of tho people wore answered by dapping
of hands,'bows, and orlos of “ Good, hurrah,” and
other American words the Japanese have picked
up. At Wilmington, there were several thousand
people around the streets leading to the track.
The train passed slowly through, amid tha cheers
and shouts of- the -multltudo. A ,number of fire

The Baltimoreans wore an orange-colored silk
badge with the engraving of the Washington Mo

scription. The members of the Philadelphia City
Councils wore one of the most beautifully designed
badges have ever seen, it was'designed by
Mr Qeorgo W. Simon, Chairman of the sub*Com*
mlttee of Arrangements of Councils, and oertalnly
reflects much credit on his taste and judgment
Tho badge 1b white satin, with embossed edges. It
is two inohes and three-quarters wide and about
eight inches in length. In the centre are crossed
staffs, with the flags of Japan and America un
furled. At the Intorscotion of the staffs there is
another raised in a vortical position, bolding qj> a
gold banner, on whioh are linked bands significant
of friendship. Around those bands are, in Japa
ncse characters, the words :
" Weloome to our Japanese Friends.”
Tho three staffs are entwined with olive and laurel
emblematic of peace and glory. Around the whole
of the design ayo thp wprdg, Ip golden letters:
"Japanese Embassy; Gtty Counoils pf Philadel

members, clerks, and messengers of Select and
Common Councils. Tho Mayor of tho city, the
Presidents of both branches of Councils, and, tho
joint committee of arr/ingement of five from each
chamber, wore on their lappeh a beautiful rosette,
also designed fcv Mr. Simon. ponelstg of a
double frill of white satin with blue ring; in the
centre of whioh is a red ball dividedfram the blue
by a gold strap, thus happily blending the red,
white, and blue, and tbe Japanese red with enoh
other. The members of Counoils, and Iheirgnosts,
left their chsinbor at twoo’olock, to nwnit the ar
rival of the Embassy.

THE MILITARY,
The military display was one of the most magni

It was fifteen minutes after three when the spe

motive pulling the bell, and was the first of the
Japanese visible to the assembled Corporation of
Philadelphia. Some time was occupied in tbe
princes’ car arranging for the reception, lfcc na
val officers donned their qnlform, the Japanese
spent aomo little time in arranging some intelligi

played one or two appropriate airs. Mayor Henry
stood at the eastern end of the platform surround

tho busy historians of the soene—the reporters of
the-presfl, Finally, the Chief Ambassador was
seen to emerge from the train, leaning upon the
arm of Captain Dupont, and followed by the other
members of the Embassy, similarly auppertefl by
the officers. Instantly the band struck up the
“ Star Spangled Banner," and coased after play
ing a few strains. Simme Boosen No-Kaml was
first presented to the M*7°T, whom he saluted with
a graceful bov£ffhe other Ambassadors were like
wise presented. Mr. Portman, the interpreted

vr&fl very great, and crowds of boys and taen elus.
tered round the carriages containing the servants,
And inatstod upon shaking hands with them. 'They j
and seemed much honored by
dJieoompHipent. .
In Arch street, near Sixteenth, a lady displayed
j herself at the window, robed in a magnificently
' embroidered mantilla, evidently of Japanese'
j 1 workmanship. At Twelfth street the Colombia-'
| Engine was stationed, and the gallery stream was
;/ arranged to form a foantafa of four jeta. This*-
iwfis the most Interesting feature of the day.
|'Tho only difficulty about it wsa that, as the wind
1 was blowing freshly, the water was thrown to the.
’ eastward,, and persons standing on that side of the
street, and unable to esoape In consequence of the
dense throng, were compelled to shield themselves
with umbrellas.
The Franklin Hose carriage was stationed at
Broad and Fitswater streets, the Washington Hose
on Ninth street, near Aroh, and as the procession
passed they rang a merry psal. The Ambassadors
wore a grave hut imperturbable countenance, oc
casionally acknowledging the .compliment of the
multitude by waving their handkerchiefs or ma r
king a slight bow. They did not exhibit any of
the extravagant conduct that oharaoterized the
lower members of the Embassy. '
At the corner of Fourth and Aroh streets, the
crowd was overwhelming, and from the carriages
presented a densely packed mass of humanity some
twenty feet on both sides of the way. and three,
four, and five stories high! The large Plotou front, .
containing hbout fifty windows, of Mr. Ketterllnua’
lithograph establishment, on the northwest, that of
Messrs.* William Johns ASon.onthenortheaat, and
Messrs. Byre A L»ndell’s dry-good* store on the
southwest corner, were literally studded and,
thronged with delighted spectator*.
Much • interest was created by an inscription on.
muslin, and in Japanese characters, wh ioh was eus
pended from Evans’ book store, and which when
translated contained the words, “Peter Abel's
welcome to the Japanese."
The treaty box was a feature in the procession.
It was placed In a carriage by itself, and was
guarded by a few Japanese soldiers, who never per*
mlt It to leave their sight They remain byitnigbt
and day, and knowing that their life depends upon
Us safety, they watoh it with wonderful, if unne
cessary, vigilance.
This box contains the treaties, and is a singular
feature of tho Embassy. It will be reoolleeted that
the treaty made by the United States consul, Mr.
Townsend Harris, was destroyed by fire—the
palace at Yeddo, in which it was deposited, cach
ing fire and burning down The Japanese attach
a sacred regard to treaties, and it was considered
a very desirable object to have the President and
the Department of State attach their signatures te
two treaties which are f&o-simile copies of the one
destroyed. Eaob of these has been carefully in
scribed upon parchment, and deported in lac
quered boxes, rlohly inlaid with precious metris
Within this boy, which is about two feet high by
two feel and a half, is a smaller one which con
tains a letter from the Tycoon to tho President..
The exterior of this box is polished in the most
magnificent manner. It is covered by a heavy red
moroooo case, to prevent it from being injured, and
is canned in a frame or lattice-work to whioh four
handles are attached.
The personal baggage of the Japanese excited
much curiosity. All, with the exception of the
Ambassadors, carried bundles, containing the pre
sents received from friends at Washington and Bal
timore, and as the crowd took these to be articles
of Japanese workmanship, they were very rfnxious
to inspect them. A great deal of amusement was
oreated by .several of tho Japanese smoking as they
passed along the route.
The head of tho procession arrived at the Conti
nental a few minutes past six o’clock. The crowd
within two squares of this hotel was so dense that
it was almost impossible for the carriages contain
ing the Embassy to drive up to the private en
trance, and aftor repeated stoppages of the
line, and the utmoat exertions on the part of the
police and military, they were enabled to enter
their hotel.
The Embassy were immediately escorted to their
rooms, and after a little delay inode their appear
ance on the balcony for the purpose of reviewing
the military. This review was very unsatisfactory, i
as members of Conncils, attaches of the hotel, a 1
number of reporters, and other distinguished
strangers whose cariosity to see the soldiers was of
the most irrepressible oharaoter, so but two or
three of tho Japanese had an opportunity of wit
nessing wbat was intended for their especial benefit.
The Japanese, who are among the most polite peo
ple In the world, gratified tho impetuosity of their
entertainers by either retiring into their rooms, or
by taking a position against the wall. After the
procession had passed, the naval officers cleared the
rooms of the vlsitora after a great deal of difficulty,
and the gontlemen of the Embassy were permitted
to enjoy tbelr own seclusion.

doctrines of Popular Sovereignty, He reviewed
, the course of the delegates at Charleston, and con*
damned the Hon. Owen Jones for not voting la ho*

That we reassert end maintain the platform laid down
br the Democratic National Convention held at Cmciu
c&ti In 18M.b«lievine that these priucipf** are rmho
died therein: That all poUtipal power a inherent in the
pe-ple—that *ll free governments sre found'd oa their
Authority and instituted for their benefit—thafthe right
of self-government is the. fundamental idea of our re
publican inatitut’ous—that the doctrine of the capacity
of the people to fovern thema<*lve* i* the corner-sto e
of our political fabric, applicable alike to the Btales and
T*mtori**of th* Union, and that the groat principle
of self-govemmenti or popular mereijroty, is the true
hull of Democratic policy in reference te the orsauised
Territories of the Baited States.
Thatin aocordanoewith ,these dr*ctjjcei,\od Actio?
upon a principle which we reeosmse as eminently Just
and wise—namely, the non-intervention by Conjrrer,
with slavery in the States and Territories—we are op
, posed to anv legislation on the vait of that body to es
tablish, abolish, regulate, protect nrinanr manner in
terfere with riarerr i« the Territories.
; That, Jnour opinion, itis tho duty of the Democratic
party steadfastly to adhere to the principles, ennooiated
■ by the Compromise Measures of 1850—ratified hr the
people in the Presidential election of JB©—reaffirmed
in the Kansss-Nebrasbaact of 18M, which is founded
on principles as ancient na free government itself.'and,
in accordance with them, has simply deo’ar d that tho
people of a Territory, like those of a State, .shall
decide for themselves whether slavery shall or
shall not exist 'within their limits: and ajmln
asserted and sustained bv the election of our pre
sent Qnief Magistrate in 1858.. And that in conformity
with the** views, every attempt should testea<tfr*tly
resisted that would interpolate tho creed of our
party any sew issue, whether that issue should be the
reopening of the African slave trade, the enactment of
a Congressional a'ave code for the Ta Triton**, or the
declaration that the Coaititution of the Bolted States
either establishes or prohibits slavery in the Territories
beyond the pewer of the people to control it: Therefore,
Resolved. That we-reassert.-reeffirm. and readrpt
those principles as our nreaent sentiments, and that w e
give our cordial assent to the doctrine asserted juj tho
National Democratic Convention at Charleston, tha*
D»mooralio?rinciples are unchangeable when applied

speels, the reiterated sentiments of the Democracy of
this county, meetsoor earnest and sincere approval,
and that we will give to the principles therein set forth
oar determined and active sooport.
Resolved, Tha* we .have entire confidence in the in
t*gnty. patriotism. and Democracy of Stephen A. Done:
las, of Illinois That we regard him as the truest, the
worthiest, and the ablest exponent of Democrat.o
principles among all the candidates before the people;
and receiving ns'he did iu the National Convention at
Charleston, on every ballot, a majority of votes over
ail other candidates combined, we declare him to be
ourohoioe. As he is ctesrlr thonition'B choice end of

That in so far as Hon. Owen Jones, orir de
legate to Charleston, voted for and supported the plat
form adopted by tha Convention and opposed Selec
tions and anti Democratic designs of Bigler, Baker,
Dawson, tc Cn., we approve of his course. And
while we disapprove of, ami repudiate Ma octian in
refusing to. vote for the nomination ol the greates
bving representative of that platf »rm, Hon. Stephen
Douglas, of lUiroia, suoh refusal being in violation of
repeated pledges and promises, as well after as before
hts election as a delegate, we yet indulge the hope that
upon the reassembling of the Convention at Btltimore
he will redeem h a promises, and. by giving his earnest
support to the gre.it statesm’n of the Northwest, rest >re
himself to his former position in the esteem of the De
mocracy or old Montgomery.
Jtr'oftrrf, That we pledge ourselves to support tho'
nomination of the Democratic National Convention at
Baltimore, and to abide by its decision.
And whereas in opposition to the fundamental pnn
•tplcs whioh govern all Democratic Conventions, cer
tain delegates have seen proper to withdraw from
the Convention whioh met at Charleston: 'lherefore,
Resolved, That we protest against the readniission of
those delegates to seals in the adjourned Convention at
Baltimore, unless they shall have first pledg-d them
selves to abide by and support the nominations there
made
Resolved, That the secretaries be requested to fnr
nish the proceidinrsof this meeting to the Montgomery

portions, during the reading, eliciting the most
unbounded applause.
