The Japsz►ese
ii/IrThe Japanese Ambassadors were
roceired At Baltimore on Friday last,
and, of course, a grand displuy WAY
bad on the occasion. The military
were out in strong forc es 1 as was the
Fire Department. The Embassy was
reeeived at Camden Station at 10 o'clock,
from which they were escorted (they
being seated in open barouclics,) to the
Ilaryliind institute, where the formal
reception took place. Mayor • Swim
made a speech of welcome, which was
replied to briefly by the chief of the
Embassy. The line of march was thy
resumed, and continued through the
principal streets, to the Gilmer Rouse,
where quarters had been provided for
the guests. At o'clock the steam fire
engines made a high ly successful display
of their powers iu Monument. Square,
and sit night a beautiful exhibition of
fire works was witnessed—both at.
treoting thousands of' people, perfectly
jamming the Square and thearenuos
leading to it.. The ovation was, alto
gether, creditable to Baltimore, and
seemed to afford much pleasure to the
Japanese—of whom there were about
seventy. Nearly forty ladles and gen
tlemen of' this place visited tbo city for
tbe purpose of having a sight at these.
peculiar people.
Humbug Won't Do.
Three tears ago the Republican par
ty tried to force David Wilmot, a no
torious renegade and free-trade Doze
crat, upon the people of Pennsylvania,
for Governor, but her yeomanry could
not be seduced, and he was defeated by
an immense vote. Again, this year,
the same game is attempted, to force
Hannibal llamliu , also a renegade
Democrat, and a notorious free-trader,
into the Vioe President's chair, sio that
by his casting rote, if necessary, he can
defeat tariff bills. Queer, isn't it, when
,
ever a free-trade Democrat turns rene
gade be is instantly rewarded. Will
the tariff-men of this region astallow
such deception ? We shall see.
IFIPThe adjourned National Demo
cratic Convention will assemble at.„Bal
timore on Monday next, the 18th inst.
It will attract an immense concourse of
Detnocrats from all parte of the United
States.
The New York Journal of Commerce,
in speaking of the approaching session
at, Baltimore, remarks :—" A concilia
tory spirit would,. soon lead to concilia
tory action. De - New York, other
wise called the Tennessee resolution,
would probably
~be accepted by the
South in regard to the Territories, and
ought to be accepted by the North.—
Breckinridge, of Kentucky, for Presi
dent, and Dickinson or Seymour, of
New York, for Vice President, would
satisfy the whole Democratic party of
the country apart from personal prefer
ences for other candidates. So would
Seymour or Dickinson for President,
and Breckinridge, or tome other mode
rate Southern man, for Vice President.
Why cannot some such compromise be
adopted? Why should men of the same
politicalTaith, who have a common foe
to contend with, exhaust their energies
upon each other F"

already on the defensive. The weak

the journals in question. The Star ap

among them. They may try to prove

; different sections of the country in an
tagonism to each other, which as cx:
perieneo bag already shown, is highly
detrimental to the industrial interests,
not only of Pennsylvania, bat of North
ern States generally. In short, Gen.
Foster is advocating the passage of the
1
tariff bill and the interests of the white
pooplciofPennsylvania ; Col. Curtin is
i stamping it in Pennsylvania in behalf
of niggeri,m and the “ . .Niggcr." This
I is the contrast between the doings of
the Demccratic and the Republican
1 candidates for Governor of Pennsylva
! nia, just at this time :'
A Baseless Oharge
The Republican journals of thissLAte
arc parading a bit of testimony said to
have been given before the Corode
Committee by Cornelius Wendell as
tending to Prove corruption upon Mr.
Foster, the Democratic candidate for
Governor. It is said that among the
items of Mr.'Wendoll's bank book for
(858 a charge was discovered of 12.50
to " ) ostor. of Pennsylvania," and that
when Mr. Wendell was pressed, he ad
rditted that he knew no other Foster
than the liesnocrea.k candidate for
Governor. This is the• slender basis
upon which the charge of corruption
is founded. It can bo readily an
swered—
In the first place, the entry of such
an item on Mr. Wendal's book is no
evidence that Mr. Foster over received
the money. Mr. Wendell has made so
many wild. and inconsistent statements,
that this equivocal testimony should be
accepted with Bleat caution.
In the second place, admitting that
Mr. Foster received the money, there
is no evidence to show that it was ap
plied to corrupt uses. The sterling
character of the man and the smallness
of the sum, aro prima facie' evidence
that it was qot. The idea that, Mr.
Foster intended to corrupt the voters
of his district avid procure his election
to Congress with 8250 is simply ab
surd. If the money was placed in his
hands it was applied to the ordinary
and legitimate expenses of the cam
paign. We have no doubt that Mr.
Covode spent doable. this sum out of
his own perse, which is a great deal
longer than General Foster's, in order
to secure his election to Congress in
ISM, and has disbursed for political
purposes, much more than 8850—re
ceived from others. The character of
General Foster as au honest man, chal
lenges the scrutiny of his enemies, and
may at any time be platted in favorable
comparison with that of John Covode
or Andrew G. Curtin.
If General Foster's enemies intend
to attuck his character they must fern
' ish other evidence than that derived
from insinuations and inferences.—Pa
triot cfc rniou.
. The Irrepressible Conflict
The testimony of the Albany Erening
Journal (Thurlow Weed's paper) in re
gard to the peculiar stripe of Abram
Lincoln's politics is presumed to be dis
interested, and therefore is of some
value. Says that paper :
"Conservatism, in its modern and
odious sense, hits no representative in
Mr. Lincoln. His war against injustice,
inhumanity and slavery is of the 'irre
pressible' sort, and he Las no sympathy
with those who would whisper epithets
against oppression in any form. If ho
be a rough diamond he is a sound unc.
He holds time-servers and cowards in
contempt, and would as soon 'cotton '
to a pickpocket as to a ' doughface..—
This is his attitude now. •If he be as
wise as he is thorough, be will permit
no timid friend to swerve him from his
position, and will 'take no step back
ward' to conciliate those ' whose touch
is death.' "
Honest for (Ae !
We find the following in tho publish
ed proceedings of the Chicago Conven
tion. After the report on Platform,
in the discussion which took place,
Judge Jessup, of Pa., arose and said :
"I desire to amend a verbal mistake
in the name of the party. It is printed
in the resolution, Sational Republican
Party.' I wish to strike out the word
.National,' as that is not the name by
which the party is properly known."
The correction was made.
True for you, Judge Jessup. " Na
tional" is not a term that properly be
longs to the Repablieah party in any
sense. Wo are glad to see you have the
straightforwardness to perceive and ac
knowtodge ita sectional character.
All " AVM "—The Republican ticket
is exceedingly appropriate—true to its
design. Devoted to the interests of
Ham's descendants, it begins and ends
with its index fingers pointing to the
00/ored non; thus :—.Abraltan; and

At the time the 1110VenAent, was startEd

of them are residents of Grand Haven

Ind in Lincoln was Nominated.—Geo.
A. LI, one of the Pennsylvania
delegates to the Chicago Convention;
on bis•returti to Philadelphia, in giving
an account of the convention, said :
"Private consultations were hold by
the delegates from Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Illinois and Indiana, and an in
terchange of opinion revealed this fact,
that in ORDER TO DEFEAT THE NOMINA
TION OF MR. SEWARD, these four States
&honld rally upon Lincoln."
So, tho nomination of Aii Was rot
because of his honesty or his rails, but
for the purpose of defeating SEWARD.

Lincoln in title York—The Utica
Telegraph states that senao ono in that
city asked Senator Seward what ho
would say in Washington as to the
probable result of the election in that
State. " I will put L'neoln's majority
at 70,000," said ho. " That's pretty
high," said some one in the crowd,
" how do you figure it?" " Why, Mi
chael McQuade said I would certainly
have 50,000 in this State if nominated,
and Greeley assorted that anybody else
could get 20,000 more than 1; there
fore, Lincoln must receive 70,000."
liiirlt appears that Mr. Lincoln, the
_Republican nominee, is not only noted
for " splitting fence rails and mauling
Democrats," but also for voting against
the M - faican war, and against granting
160 acres of land to the volunteers who
participated in that brilliant military
campaign.

Ingratitude of the Pennsylvania Delo-
ptea.
A letter in the Press irem Chicago,
reveals a aeoret in regard to the means
used by the Black Republicans of Phil
adelphia at the late spring election. It
says :
" It was generally admitted that had
Perinsylvantacome out here with a can
didate, and steadfastly adhered to him,
the nomination would have been yielded
to her, but her delegation was so divi
ded, and there were so many conflicting
interests in it, that it exerted very little
kfluence. There was only one bond
of union between the Cameron men,
the Curtin men, and the straight-out
Americans, comprising in part the
People's party, and largely represented
here in the Young Men's People's Par
ty Club of Philadelphia, and that was
opposition to Seward. Tbo friends of
the Patter are particularly indignant
at this, and charge that it is cold ingra
titude in return for the material aid
furnished by Mr. Seward's representa
tive( Man, etheriow Weed, who they
say, sent Col. M'Clure, the chairman
of the Republican State Central Com
rattle° of Pennsylvania, LOO, to aid in
carrying the l&te spring election in
Philadelphia. Besides, Pennsylvania
might ha re bad the Vice Presidency,
for there was a general disposition on
the part of the Convention to place
John Rickman it nomination for that
othee, hat when. his name was proposed
in amicetiog of the delegation, the Cam
eron men cried " no, " no," and went
for Governor',Reeder to show the CQll
'cation that .Hickman was not their
choice."

HAIL Editor of Mt , Cumpiter
Dear Sir :—We were visited about 5 o'clock
on Monday evening last, 3d inst.,) after various
olutions of the clouds and the usual indica
tions of an approaching tempest, associated
with lightning and thunder, n ith two showers
of hail and rain, which lusted about an hour,
withan interval of some twenty minutes asunder.
The second shower of bail—the largest of which
were of the CU of hulled walnuts—nearly
covered the ground, accompanied by a very
beery shower of rain. The first shower of hail
were the largest 1 ever saw, as I picked up after
the shower several pieces two inches and a halt
broad but not quite'o thick; and saw one piece
fall upon the roof of a building larger than a
tea-cup, which bounded off somas twenty feet
from the building upon the turnpike, breaking
Into fragments, some of which appeared to be
the size of hen eggs at a distance of sixty yards.
This was distinctly igen, as there were not
many pieces falling at the time and near the
beginning of the shower. Many other pieces of
nearly similar site had been seen by others
during the first shower. Wherever the grass
and grain were of luxuriant growth it now lies
prostrate upon the ground. The grain is some
what injured, as the straw is considerably'
broken in the ftelda in various places; but the
grain which stood erect the bail did not appear
to injure very much. The damage is not very
considerable, yet it will be felt by every farmer,

Cmcsoo, Juno 4.--A terrible torna
do swept over Eastern lowa and Nor
thern Illinois last night, which bae
caused more destruction of life and
property, especially at Clinton, lowa,
than any similar visitation remember
ed. The towns of Camanche, lona,
and Allany, Illinois, were completely
demolished. In the former thirty dead
bodies have already been disoovered,
and there wore still a number under the
ruins of demolished, buildings. In Al
luny some five or six bodies have been
found, and there aro some. taw persons
wounded—soine seriously. No list of
the victims has been received.
The destruction was equally groat at
Morrison, Illinois. Mrs. Richardson,
Mr. and Mrs. I)orr, George Renorth
and a boy named Barnum, werekilled;
1 and Thomas Digby, Benj. Lathe and
wife, Win. Richmond and Iliram Mann
i were severely injured.
At Lyndon several persons wore kit.

, were badly injured.
The storm passed two miles north of
Amboy; and it is reported that over tea
persons were killed there and a niunber
badly injured. Mrs. Moss and a child
named Billsby wore injured, also a
daughter of Mr. Sackett, a boy named
Northway and Mrs. Wright.
, The course of the tornado was almost

among them an uncouth block of wood,
supposed to be part of a oheeso press,

by one David M. liatruscher. On the
morning succeeding the sale, the par
chaser, in a spirit of inquiry "character

block open, when ho discovered a queer
secret door, opened hy . the pressure °of
