New York, The United States steam frigate Roanoke, from Aspinwall, with the Japanese Embassy on board, arrived in the bay last evening. She was there boarded by a government messenger, with orders for the Roanoke to proceed to Hampton Roads, whither she will sail this morning, with the distin- guished visiters. A graphic account of the pro- gress of the Embassy, from their arrival at Panama till the ship reached four harbor, is given in our columns this morning. The Union Constitutional Convention organized at Baltimore yesterday by choosing Washington Hunt, of New York, Chairman, and the usual com- plement of Vice Presidents and Secretaries. A Committee on Resolutions was appointed, whose duty it will be to draw up a platform for the new party. They will probably report this forenoon. It is considered that General Houston stands the best chance for the nomination of President by this Convention. In Congress yesterday the Senate was engaged in debating the Homestead bill, but no definite ac- tion was taken on the subject. The House was en- gaged all day on the Tariff bill. We have further intelligence from Buenos Ayres and Montevideo by the United States storeship Release, which arrived at this port yesterday with invalids and despatches. The news she brings will be found elsewhere. At the weekly mecting of the Commissioners of Emigration, which took place yesterday, the Presi- dent, Mr. Verplanck, inquired how much money the Board owed to counties for the care and sup- plies given to emigrants passing through and re- maining in them. He was informed that the sum due on the Ist of January was $19,600, which is now probably increased to about $25,000, and he suggested that it be now paid, but the matter dropped without any action being taken upon it. A letter was received from Dr. Gann, renewing his claim for $1,200 for the rent of a house hired by him after the barning of the Quarantine buildings. The letter was read and laid on the table. Captaia Crabtree informed the Board that a passenger who came out in one of the Galway steamers was in consumption, and desired to be sent back again to Europe. The subject was referred to a committee, amber of emigrants lauded , Swelling the total of arrivals at this port for the present year to 19,055. The apparent balance of the commutation money now in the hands of the commission amounts ‘to $24,508 53. { By the bark Swallow, Capt. Upton, which arrived at Salem, Mass.,on Monday, we have received files of Buenos Ayres papers to March 7. The news is not important. President Dergin had not yet a) pointed his cabinet. The question of the Spanish treaty was being agitated. It is contended that a new treaty becomes necessary since fhe re-annexation of Buenos Ayres to the Confederation. From Mon- tevideo we learn that on March 1, the General As- sembly had elected Don Bernardo P. Berro Presi- dent of the republic of Urnguay, by a vote of 47 against 2. Previous to the election some slight distarbance had occurred at Monte video. & The steamship Quaker City, with Havana dates to the Sth inst., arrived in this port yesterday. There is no news of any moment. A vessel had arrived from Macao with a eargo of nearly five hundred coolies. Fifty-one had died on the pas sage. The murderers of Agueros were to be exe- cuted this week. The health of Havana continued good. ‘The funeral of Lieutenant Colonel Charles H. Sandford, who died in Veneruela some time since, took place yesterday from Trinity chapel, in West Twenty-fifth street. It was attended by all the off- cers of the Seventh, and a large namber from other regiments. Company H, of the Seventh regiment, acted aa a guard of henor on this occasion. Gouverneur Morris and other property owners at Port Morris called upon the Mayor yesterday to submit certain charts and information relative to dockage and soundings for the accommodation of the Great Eastern. The charts show soundings directly beside the dock now ready there of thirty feet atlow water, the channel running out toa depth of more than sixty fox’ The ready feasibi- lity of bringing the great ship u, to this dock wil be attested by a namber of the Bat river pilots whe will appear before the specia| committee o! ‘ve Common Council to which th) subject is re + ered.

The receipts were, 3,639 beef cattle, 148 cows, 1,185 veal calves, 6,264 sheep and lambs, and 6,500 swine. The firmness of holders of cotton yesterday tended to check sales The trangactions embraced about $00 bales, closing om the basis of about 1130. for middling uplands. The four market for State and Western was without | change of moment, while sales were moderate. Southern flour was also inactive, while prices wore sustained. The market for wheat opemed with more firmness, but closed with lees buoyancy, owing to the advance in the rates of freight, while the sales wore fair. Cora was firmer, with ‘© fair export demand. Pork was more active and prices again firmer, with sales of new mess at $17 87); & $18, and new prime at $14 a $14 12};. Sugars wore steady but Joes active. The sales embraced about 600 hhds., chiefly Oubas, at rates given in another place. Transactions in Coffee were light. 200 mats Java sold at 15Xc., and 60 do Maracaibo at l4c. per pound. Freights were firm. Awong the engagements were 35,000 bushels of grain, in Dulk and in ship’s bags, at 6c. a 63c. per busbel. The Aspect of the Coumtry—Necessity of Union Amomg the Conservatives. That the breaking up of the Charleston Con- vention was the real and practical breaking up of the old democratic organization, and a vir- tual return to the people of the powers they had tacitly conferred on the delegates, is be- coming daily more evident to all; and it im- poses on the public and representative men at Washington the imperative duty of recognizing the existing state of affairs, and taking action eqnal to the emergency. Nowinally, the Charleston Convention ad- journed to meet at Baltimore, after a majority of the delegates had driven off the repre. sentatives of large popular majorities; but, in fact, by so doing, they turned the discussion of platform and nomination over to the people and the aspiring politicians. The moment the delegates adjourned to a subsequent day they lost the power of settling these im- portant questions. Already has the dis cussion of platforms extended to every nook and corner of the country, wherever two or three meet together, and every public place, frofn the floor of the Senate to the low- est drinking shop, resounds with arguments and disputes, counterpart to those that took place in the Charleston Convention. Passions are aroused, partisanship is confirmed and em- bittered, new and unforeseen divisions are coming up, and the rank and file of the democ- racy present everywhere the greatest disorder and confusion. The delegates that went to Charleston may come together again at Balti- more, but it will be in a new character—as sup- plicants for the popular approval to such politi- cal ideas and nominations as they may agree to present. They no longer represent a united party, and their new scheme will come before the people on its merits alone, and not as the united voice of a vast organization. The debate and quarrel that were surrendered by the Charleston Convention have been also taken up by the candidates themselves, and Senator Davis has led off on the ultra Southern side, to be followed by Senator Douglas in defence of his peculiar views. Though the Mississippi Senator may be the taller man and have the longer reach of arm, the Senator of Illinois has before now shown a wonderful power to endure punishment, and no reflecting man will look for anything more between them tffan e drawn battle, like that between Heenan and Sayers. The fight in Congress for the po- litical championship will have the same result with that of the fight for the belt—no winner, and nothing but hot blood and mutual recrimi- natiomamong the partisans of each. Instead of being productive of harmony and good feeling, it will only lead to a disposition to have inmumerable minor fights among the par tisans, and thus increase and extend the free fight that was opened at Charleston. In thinetate of affairs it becomes us to look matters squarely in the face. Four separate Conventions will probably present candidate for the I'teeidency within a few weeks. Thes are the—- Baltim ore Convention, now in session. Chicago Convention, to meet May 16. Richmond Convention, to meet June 11. Baltimore Convention, to meet June 18. Of these the Chicago Convention is the only one that speaks for a strong political organi- zation. This party is purely sectional in its cha- racter, and is animated by theories aggres- sive to the Southern States and destructive of the constitution and the Union. It is organized and led by fanatics, who would sacrifice every- thing for the triumph of an impracticable idea, and unscrupulous politicians who would over- throw everything to obtain power. Opposed to them stand the solid phalanx of the South- ern States, united by the instinct of self-de- fence and the great conservative interests of the Central and Northern States, which see no profit to any one in the revolution and civil war that must follow the success of the black republican perty. But the conservative masses are divided and distracted with the contending conventions and quarrelsome politicians who assume to speak for them, and the presentation of three nominally conservative candidates can only result in the triumph of the Northern rectional fanatics. It is a vain thought for the politicians to be- lieve that they can manufacture platforms that shall make the issue to be pre sented to the people. That issue has been made by the union of the fanatics and ambitious demagogues on the sectional black republican scheme to obtain power. It is this, and this only, that agitates the people, and against which they desire to unite, because all the minor issues, tariff, internal improve- ments, foreign policy, all, are involved in the preservation of the confederacy against the transitory mania that has taken possession of | so many in the North. This truth has been demonstrated by the results of the recent eleo- tions in several of the Northern and Western States, and the politicians should not ignore its existence. They should open their eyes to the true aspect of the country, and the only truly conservative representative men now available— the Senators and representatives in Congrees- should give up a weak reliance on partial conventions, and iseue a national ad- dress to the people, setting forth the emergency of the case, sinking all the old minor issues, and calling for a national conservative conven- tion to meet in New York in September next. Ivcrgase oF Leararation-—We recently drew attention to the large increase that has taken place in the emigration from Ireland. We see by the report of the Commissioners, that during the last week there arrived at our port, by the Galway and other lines, 5,277 persons belong- ing to this class. Should this continue we shall have as large accessions to our population from this source as during the Irish famine of 197 48, This event will create a greater sensation has occurred since our separation from the with Japan would be as restricted today as they were in Golownin’s time. What other go- vernments failed to effect by force we have accomplished by persuasion and upright deal- ing, and the result is that the Japanese now pay us the compliment of sending an embassy to our shores, the first of @ politica! character that bas ever been accredited by them to any nation. The only mission that ever before lef Japan was one despatched by the Christians of that empire, in the year 1582, to do homage to Pope Gregory XIIL, and to assure bis Holiness of their entire submission to his church. This delegation, although furnished with letters and presents, was not accredited by the goveroment, and could not in « diplo matic sense be regarded as an embasty The maritime Powers of Europe have long tried to induce the Japanese to send eo voys to their courts; but the distrust enter- tained as to their motives has always interfered to prevent the consummation of their wishes. St has been reserved for the Americans not only to be the first to obtain this concession, but to open the trade of Japan to other na tions. It is a singular illustration of the truth of the proverb that ‘extremes meet,” that the most despotic and exclusive government in the world should find in our republican system and manners features congenial to their notions. Tn no other way can we account for their readi- ners to open an intercourse with us on so friendly and familiar a footing. Being the first, then, honored by an embassy from this exclusive apd comparatively un- known people, it is important that the recep- tion that we give it shall be such as to con- firm the favorable impressions that they have formed of us. Care must be taken that every- thing shall be kept out of their view which may be calculated to give them a mistaken idea of our institutions and habits. The splendor rather than the philosophy of civiliza tion is what will impress most their minds. As they may by-and-by have an opportunity of comparing our tastes in this respect with those of Europe, it is necessary that the impression that is left on them shall not be one that can be easily eclipsed. We are glad to find that in the arrangements that are being made by the committee ap- pointed by the Common Council it has been decided to impart all the effect possible to the ceremonies to be observed on the reception of the Embassy. There will be no limitation to low politicians or hangers on of the two boards of the invitations that will be issued on the oo- casion. All the most distinguished of our citi- zens will be invited to participate in hoepitali- ties which are ersentially national in their character, and which will derive their chief value from the universality of the sentiment that dictates them. The arrangements con- cluded thus far are such as will give general satisfaction, A whole floor of that immense building, the Metropolitan Hotel, has been secured for the accom- modation of the Envoys and their suite. are being made for ball, to be given by the city in Niblo’s theatre, adjoining the hotel, which is to be got up ona scale of splendor and liberality such as has never been surpassed or equalled here. Invi- tations will be issued to the executive and le- gislative members of the federal and State governments, the diplomatic corps and foreign consuls, the officers of the army and navy, the members of the press, the Mayors and murici- pal officials of neighboring cities, the officers of the militia of the several States, and the lead- ing members of the learned professions A magnificent supper is to be provided in the dining rooms of the hotel, at which champagne and other costly wines will flow like water. The effect of this scene, dazzling as it will be rendered by the brilliant uniforms of the military, and the beauty, the diamonds and the laces of the fairer portion of the com- pany, will be such as will not be easily effaced from the memories of our guests. We are rejoiced to find that the hospitalities attendant upon this virit have been taken up in #0 liberal and becoming a spirit. The impor tance to our commerce of securing the good | will and friendship of people so flourishing and ro well inclined towards us fully justifies any outlay to which;it may put us. Awrct Errect or Potrricat, Associations Urox tar Parsons—Every one knows how many Northern pulpits have been desecrated by the introduction of political topica, and the teachings of the Gospel nullified by admix- tures of all sorts of baser elements; but it has ticism which has been fostered hereaboute by ever, from an incident at Charleston, that the clergy, one of whom, in opening the Conven- tion with prayer, addressed the Deity thus:— “Oh, God!

As our readers are all very well aware, there bas been, during several years past, a terrible rumpus im the Tract Society apropos to a little nigger who was smuggled into a business meet- ing, wrapped up in « series of resolutions.

Massa’ Gree- ley gave him a splendid setting out in the 7ri- tune, whieh charged that the managers of the society bad done « “ fearful work” during the year; that had taken sides with the “op- pressor” and against “the hopeless victim of that they “ have, in reproducing and among them one of the most flagrant It is expressed in a pathetic ballad concerning the identical little nigger himself. The Tribune very properly calls it “immensely significant.” It is from a tract entitled “The African Servant,” where a verse in the original As reissued from the pro-slavery print of the Tract Society, it reads: — Mee tout me (rom my paresis arms— | ever saw them more Hon. Massa Greeley further goes on to state that the managers have, by their fulminations against “the race course, the theatre and the circus; against drinking wine, and selling rum: against gambling and Sanday travelling, and. most vebemently of all, against tobacco, exert ed a far wider and more direct influence in b+ balf of slavery (ban could possibly have been done bad they openly commended slavery in a series of tracts commenting on every phase of the syrem, and eulogizing each separate feature.” The article proceeds to abuse the slave- holders of the South in the approved Garriso nian style, and states that in Afries the “devil ip again unchained, doing his damned work. fraught with tears and agony, amid the frantic applause of thousands at the South, whom the Tract Soc ety greet as evangelical Christians” ‘The managers then get a fina! for their “ insolence” in refusing to obey aa days dissolve the society, there can be little or no doubt.

Decuxe or ram Anniversary Srrrrt—Too Moca Asovt raz Neoro.—There is a decided falling off this year in the interest, excitement point. We devoted fifteen or sixteen columns yesterday, and we devote almost as many more to-day, to reports of the different gatherings, but the transactions of the various bodies seem to lack the spirit which for the past ten years or s0 animated the pious and philanthropic assem- blages of this kind. There are fewer white cravats to be seen in the atreets, and a smaller number of strong-minded women from the rural districts, than im previous years. Even the Garrisonian company, which used to be so full of spicy debate and entertaining absurdity, seems to have lost its fire, and lapsed into a very dull and stupid performance. It is evident that the public are getting tired of the anniversary excitement. The nigger question has had so large a share in the pro- ceedings of the several societies that outside people have become a little disgusted, while the inside elements themselves have grown to be discordant and inbarmonious upon that subject. The perpetual discussion of the anti-slavery question has partially dis- organized many of the societies, and will finally break up the whole. Even the purely anti-slavery bodies themselves are not free from dissension; but the religious bodies, the Bible and Tract societies and others, are on the eve of being torn to pieces by the same agency. The best proof, perhaps, of the declining interest of the public in the anniver- saries is the falling off in the annual receipts of some of these bodies from that of last year, as the following figures will show :— Races 0 1858. 1859. Decr'se. Young 's Christian Ass'n $5,600 2,600 «2900 American Anti Slavery Society. . 35,967 Ny a New York Sunday Sshool Amer. [lome Muwionary Sock: 7, 185,2 Amer. sad For. Caristian Union. 73,000 57 16,000 On the other hand, we find that those socie- ties Into whose proceedings the slavery ques- tion seldom or never enters have increased their income. Thus the American Seamen’s Friend Society shows an increase of $20,961, the Society for the Amelioration of the Jews wo increare of $3,783, and the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions @m increase of $7,900 ‘The truth is that the merchants and others, who were the largest contributors to these so- cieties, are beginning to find that their opera- tions are seriously affecting the interests of trade by the perpetual agitation ef the slavery question, and they are accordingly buttoning up their pockets in answer to the appeals of the agitators, The anniversary spirit is mani- teetly declining under the withering influence of abolitioniem, and we should not be surprised to eee it extinguished entirely in two or three years more.

Seward is perfectly confident of the Chicago momina- tom; im fact he regards himself as already mominated, Ho speaks of ‘‘my position’ as if the thing wore fully set- ed, His manner is most arrogant. ‘The spirit of haa teur which has been growing upoa him for «long time manifests itself very offensively. This is one reason he has few or no friends in the Senate, even on the repub- licam side. Nobody but Sumner, a sort of fomale pole.

He has got the republican organizstien in his own State, and the Convention is said te packed in his fayor to @ great extent, A thas . could stand bis insolent remark as he was embark- ing for England—Your principles will be safe, if your instructor is absent’—such a party is to nominate such a candidate. The Convention would not reject him if he sbould spit in the faces of the dele- gues. They stand in the same relation to him that a tia kettle does to a dog, when it is ted to the dog’s tail. You recollect that four years ago, when Mr. Horace Greeloy was nearly buichered here, Mr. Seward rose in his piace in the Senate and spoke of Greeley, to whom he was ia- debted for more than half his fame, as ‘‘an editor of a newspaper,” while be pronounced an elabotate culogy upon the ‘‘honorable geptioman”’ who had made the bloody assault upon him. And yet Mr. Greeley publicly an- nounces that if Seward is nominated, although he doa't velieve be can be elected, he will work for him as he pever «id for avy other candidate except Harrison A fresh opposition has sprung up to Seward on aaother, Pretence. It is objected that his election would inaugu- rate Thurlow Weed and the Albany lobby at Washington. Many open their eyes in holy horror and look aghast at the doings of the late republican Legislature of the State of New York, and ask if that is Sewardism. But these very men, the hour that Weed gets to Washington, rush to his room, and hang upon his words as if they dida’t know what to order for dinner without consulting him: ‘The fact is Weed is @ man of talent—almost of genius—and ‘the republican party is not overstocked with brains, and if ail that is alleged azainst him were known to be trae, he would atill be ruler and king in his party. Whatever other effec: the misdeeds of the New York repubitcen Le- gisiatare may have, Mr. Weed has no reason to apprehend any injury to himself from them. “Did you bear it reported that I bad committed fer-/ gery?’ usked an old doctor of a lawyer, with whom be had long been intimately acquainted. “Well, yes, I heard the story,” replied the lawyer, ‘“but it@idn’t alier my opinion of you any.’’ Governor Chase, of Ohio, has been here lately.
