THE JAPANESE EMBASSY. Our Aspluwall Correspondence. r AsPiINWALL, April 9, 1869, Arrival of the Candis hk at San Francisoo—PThe Ja pancce Embassy on ‘their Way—Phey First Land at New York—Quick Voyage Between Japan and San Fran- cisco, de. ‘The Candinmarruh, the avant courrier of the Tapanvso emberey, is a email ecrowsteamer of about 40% wos, mounted with four gune—one on each side, one forward and one aft. The guns are about four pounicrs. The vesgel is one that the Dutch mate them a present of, being the first and only war ship that ever belonged to the Jayanese government. She come over from small port about twelve miles from Jeddo, under steam part and sail most of the way, in thirty-eeven days, touching for coal at qne of the ports of the Sandwich Islands. The quick trip is eccounted for by her having on board am Amerivan naval officer, who navigated her ali the way over. Commodore McCluny thinks the Powhatan will not be eny longer in coming over than the Candinmarrah, as he thinks the P. will go direct to San Francisco without call- ing at the Sandwich Islands, being able to carry sufficient coal for the whole trip. The Powhatan is expected to arrive at Panama by the 20th; then it will occupy some four or five days ia getting over and on board the Roanoke, when she will go direct to New York before going anywhere else, unless orders are sent out by the next steamer countermanding orders which were received some tem montha ago. Nothing nas been heard of the expedition from the Navy Department siuce the orders above referred to, till four weeks ago, when the Roanoke was at Pensacola being caulked, off- cis} orders were received to proceed immediately to as- pipwall and await the arrival of the Japanese Commis- fsioners. Nothing was gaid in this peremptory order about proceeding first to Washington, consequently the origipal orders are still regarded us in force. Tbe Roanoke bas not her full number of guns (sixty) at present mounted, there being now only forty mounted, which gives her 660 men, which is the number now on board, a very large proportion of whom are Americans. With her full complement o: guns she carries 800 men; the rest of her guns (twenty) have been dismounted for the purpose of giving more room, in which staterooms coula be put up for the accommodation of the royal Commissioners. Six staterooms about ten feet square have been erected out aft on the lower gun deck, near the Commodore’s quarters, wiih two berths in each room for the Commissioners. ‘The balance are to be stowed at ou the deck above, as they are not permitted customs to sleep on the sane flvor with their royal mas- ters, it "will be recollected that Commodore MeCluny was the flag officer who had charge of the equadron which took Commedore Perry out to Japan when the treaty was negotined in 1852, Commodore McOuny is probably better acquainted witb the Japanege character than any other officer ia the United States Navy, having been a long time on the Cni- hese and Japanese stanons, It 1s an outrage that the flag chip of the Gulf squadron should be compelled month after month to lie tumbling about in this hot, eickly, untedlthy, God forsaken hole, where there ig no earthiy ure for a ship of war uniess some revenue cutter or faet steamer.

Eclipse of the Planets Venus, Mars and Jepiter, by the Moon. (From thc Botton Traveller, April 17.) ‘An occultation of « planet at avy particular place, under favorable circumstances for observation, is an event of such rare occurrence that it cannot be expected oftener ‘than once in four or five years. Inieod, at the Observa- tory at Cambridge, only one (that of Jupiter, in August, 1886) bas been seen since the beginning of 1852 The happening, therefore, of four of these phenomena in & large part of this country in a sivgle month, between the 24un of the present April and the 25th of May next, ig very remarkable. ‘The first of the four,and the most beautiful and in- teresting of the whole, is that of Venus, cn the evening of Tuesday next, 24th inst. This occultation will take place when the planet is quite high, and neariy at the position of ite greatest brilliancy. it will be visible in the British Provinces, aud in that partof the United States situated northerly of a line drawn from Albermarle Sound, a little south of Norfolk and north of Cincinnati, to Davenport, Towa; beyond that line the planet will not be eclipsed, but ‘Will pags south of the moon. Its disappearance behind the dark edge may be seen by the naked eye, but better through an opera giags. Through a telescope, Venus ‘will appear similar to our moon the day before its last rey ‘a8 about three fifths of ite illuminated disc will turned towards the carth About midnight of Thuraday, April 26, Jupiter will be eclipsed in the northern part of New Hi and Maine, end some of the British provinces; southern part of New England the least distance edges of the planet and our satellite will be about one- twentieth the diameter of the latter. ‘The third of these occultations will be that of Mars, in tho morning before sunrise of Thursday, May 10. It Will be viaibie in « large of the United State and the British provinces. As moon will then be about five past the fall, the emersion will tske place on the dark side. The color of Mars will be a fiery red, as it will ‘be quite near the earth; indeed, at Mars’ opposition to the sun, on July 17 mext, it will be nearer to us than for Several years, with @ high southern declination, thus giv- ing the astronomers at the Cape of Good Hope an excel- lent and rare unity for determining ite parallax with greater prec! 5 ‘The fourth of this extraordinary series of occultationus is that of Jupiter in the forenoon of Thursday, May 2%, which also will be visible in a large part of this country, but which, taking piace whilst the sun is above the hori- Eee seen except with the ald of a very good escope. In the remainder of 1860, and in the whole of 1862, no bright planet will be eclipsed in New Eogiand. In ‘the evening of May 12,1861, Mars will be, but then the planet will be quite low and very remote, so that it will shine ‘with bat little of its brilliancy in Can aoa At the Observ: of Harvard College the above pho- nomena take place follows, b; the cuments gar in the English Natxical almanac :— OOfueeday evening, April 24, 1260. er .

The undersigned, democratic representatives in the Seuate and Aysembly of ihe , before retarning to ibeir constituents, beg leave to address them in regard to some of the measures of the 4 ssion jost closed, ana in re- gard, also, to some of the groeser abuses which nave ‘ebaracterized the acts of the Legislature aad of the co-or- dinate departments of government. Constituting but a small mioority in either House, the democrats were [angio to guide or arres: the progress. Of legislation. They were not only completely excluded from control in the ordinary committees of the House, nt in the constiotion of the Select Commitiee of Nine of the Assembiy, by which the great mass of bills wore ma- tured and reported, they were allowed put two members, and tbe geven republican members of (oo committer were author zed to regort any bill for passage. Tk was thus impossible for the aeinvvratic repretenta- tives 10 initiate any measure of legisiation, or materially to modify these which were pregeniod; and they were left to. tee ringle altervative of cnoosng between pfoposi- evs more OF lees odious, commenseu t» them by their opponents. Though such a choice was difficult and re- pusive, the conaition of administration and the necessi- ties of the State were such ag oftentimes to compl the members of the minority to make their choics among the Jeeser evils wed uvon them by the responsibie majority. The tendencies of the government, aided by forced in- terpretations of the constitution, and the mocifications of parliamentary jaw, bave all been in @ direction to exciute ‘he minority of Jegistative bo jiee from influence and coa- eideration, and to throw off the wise snd praden' checks which in former ycars restrained toe despotic instinuts or the reckless psssicns of the majority The results of these copartures from sound constitu- tional acmi: tion are geen in the prereut posturo of the State, Contraried with ite condition before these ipnovations commenced.

THE CANALS. i and assist their eompietion by general taxation, bave been of a character that wise forecest acd prudent aimin- istration would bave prevented. If the accumulation of debt bad been resisted, if disgraceful waste in construc- tion and repairs had not been connived at and encouraged, if uselees offiees had not been multiplied, the toils upon canal freights could bave been so reduced as to defy, toa great extent, the competition of all rival enterprises. Though it is too lato to avert the worst consequences of the bitnd and misguided policy which has loaded our State with debt, and compelled it to carry weight in the race with rival States and provinces, yet an ccosomical administration, a firm resistance to the constant epoliation of the State, by claims of pretended canal damages and by improvements and expenditures, the cost of which should fail upon localities, the abolition of useless offices, and the application of the actual and present means of the carals to their immediate enlargo- ment to the fuliest practical extent, would eecure to those works that degree of proeperity, that would make them eelf-supporting, and relieve the property o ners of the State from the burden of direct conteibitions to their sup- port. Nothing of this kind bag been done, or recom- mended by tbe present administration; and the practica- ble and sensible recommencation of the deawcratic Siate Engineer upon thw subject, bas been treated with catire Oitarbis annual feport to the Legislature, dated Jannary annual rej e jan 18, that officer says:— A EBLARGEMENT OF THY BRIE CANAL. ent of his canal hes hitherto %. hole work for which thia sum is intended to provide, Decessary means xre seasonably furntahed, be so ‘performed previons to tte cpening of navigation next epring (he spring of 1°60) aa to give the fnll depth of seven feet water the eutire leng'b of ihe caval.

We believe the judgment of the people will be declared how on the ide of those who epoke and acted from a knowleoge of the unfitnces of this ciass for citizenship. They will recognize it as the first step in an attempt to introduce an inferior race into our mi/ttia, our jury list, our common echools, aud our pablic offices. If the white electors could overcome their repugoance tosuch an asso- ciation, they would etill hesitate, from motives of policy ud patriotic duty, at arming with political power an ex- ceptional class of the popnuiation, whose prejudices and eympathies place them in an attitude of hatility to the covetitution, A portion of those whom it is proposed to incorporate into toe electoral body are the fugitive slaves. _ from the South ; and the legisietion of this winter, par- tia ky consummated was designed toincrease their nu ber, hy Offering to such’ fugitives the protection of the stats anthoritics, in defiance of the federal constisution. That the great body of the electors of the State w,ll relly to the gids of the democrais, and vote down we propored amendment, which is intended to recruit tae ranks of fanatical abviittonism and sectionalism, for ite war upon the constitution, the undersigned will not per- mit themeelves to doubt. ‘Tbe proposed wiusioa of this black element into the electoral body has never becu petitioned for by the py0- ple. In this, as in ocber instances, the republican majo ty bave eet themseives up above the people, and ha originated meusures of legitlation seriously affecting the oe, and sociai rights of citizens, wi have never en petitioned for, or discussed before the public, or re- ceived any marks of popular approval. Coupled with this attempt wo impose Degra, suffrage upon the State, has been @ series of invasions of fren- chises of white citizens, and the denis’ of suf” them in im i elections. Among Leser may refor to those which havo enabled certain“, hold cver beyond their elected terms, and « ot which existing offices are abolighed, and boards, », by the Executive or Legisiature, su ia ok Btead. Tne lew which takes from the voters of the sity of New York the right of choosing the inspectors of ciec- tion is another of these, and not the least dangerous and suspicious. & REPUBLICANS IN FAVOR OF BRIBERY AT ELECTIONS, No attempt has beeu made to prevent bribery at elec- tion, and the judicious amendments of the constitution, Tepeatecly proposed by democrats and suppressed by the dominant party in former years, have been wholly stided by the preeent majority. Yet nogreater and moreself-de- structive evil can exist in « republic, and its continuation, unchecked, (with the ximdred corruption that foliows in the * ficial and representative force of the State,) must be fatal to the continuance of a representati vernment. Aiea p tse NIL DBSPERANDUM. ‘We do not despair of the republic We believe in the perpetuity of the Union and the constitution.
