Christianity and the Japanese. i Our amateur missionaries in New York did | ot neglect to follow up the efforts for the con- version of the Japanese so ably and persistent ly made in other cities. In Washington, Balti more and Philade!phia, in spite of the strena- ous opposition and resistance of the officers of the Naval Commission, Bibles were thrust into the carriages of the Japanese, or were convey- ed to their apartments concealed in parcels of Verritories, and asks, if we depart from this dry goods and hardware. New Yorkers, how- ever, did not rely upon the influence of the Scriptures, pure and simple, but took measures tw convey to the Japanese not only innumerable Bibles, but also religious alphabets, adapted to the humblest comprehension, as well as letters more learned than lucid, and more well-meant than well-spelled, containing succinct accounts of the Calvanistic, the Swedenborgian, the Uni- it for the present to consider some others which jan and other creeds, so that their Excellen- Mr. Douglas appears to bave overlooked. The first is, what is this little slavery abstraction under which the democratic party touched bet- tom at Charleston, and was broken to pieces at Baltimore * The second is, why was it that the Southern States preferred the dissolution of the party to the recognition of Mr. Douglas or his doctrine of squatter sovereignty? And the third is, what was the origin of this ditticulty in the democratic camp, and this terrific explo- sion of the party? Let us briefly answer these questions in their order. Hirst, then, the little slavery abstraction or issue which has broken up the democratic party is the question of the constitutional status of slavery in the Territories. Upon this point the dividing lines between the Douglas and anti- Douglas democracy are broad and strong, the former holding that the loca! authorities of a Territory, by friendly or unfriendly legislation, may admit or exclude slavery, and the latter insisting that if Congress, the creator of a Tervi- torial government, cannot interfere therein to the prejudice of slavery, the creature deriving its existence and authority from Congress surely cannot thus interfere The anti-Douglas democ- vacy further insist, under the plea of equal rights and equal protection, that during the Territorial condition of a Territory it is the duty of both the local and the federal authorities to protect the equal rights of slave property therein} while the Douglas democracy maintain that Congress has .no right to interfere in this local matter of slavery, one way or the other. Secondly, why did the Southern democracy prefer the dissolution of the party to the recognition of Mr. Douglas or his doctrine of squatter sovereignty? We answer, for va- rious reasons. Prominent among them, the net results of the desperate, bloody and ter- rible border ruffian conflict, pro-slavery and no slavery, for the possession of Kansas, caused squatter sovereignty to stink in the nos- trils of the South; and with the loss of Kansas. and in consequence of the course of Mr. Doug- las, the South revolted against him and his were off Palermo, and two of them, having arms and munitions of war for Garibaldi, were reported to have been captured by the Neapolitans.

The committee will pro bably present their report at the next meeting of the Board, which takes place next Wednesday evening, when a lively time may be expected. The Excise Commissioners received a large batch of applications for licenses at their meeting yesterday, out of which sixteen were granted for thirty dollars each. The Boston Courier of the 29th ult. says:—The delegation of seven New York Aldermen, seven Councilmen and seven members of the Board of Health, which honored the Saaitary Convention in this city with their prevence for about an hour, drew out from the New York City Treasury, prior to their departure, the sum of twenty-five hundred dollars to defray the expenses of the trip.

The Southern democracy, too, bad secured, meanwhile, the highest judicial autho- | rity for their repudiation of squatter sove- reignty. This brings us to the third question in the premises, or the origin of this difficulty and ex- plosion in the democratic camp. It was that In the year of ce 1854, the experimental democratic majo- pealing the Missouri Compromise, put it into the bill that “the true intent and meaning of this act is not to legislate slavery into any Territo- ry, nor to exclude it therefrom, but to leave the domestic institutions in their own way, subject only to the constitution of the United States.’ These last words, “subject only to the constitu- | tion of the United States,” made this * true in- | tent and meaning” a thing of two faces, as per- plexing as an Egyptian oracle; for the great and only difficulty was, what is the constitution Southern and Northern demo- put they did agree in on this subject? crats could not agree | Senatorial caucus to leave the answer to the judgment of the Supreme Court. shores undoubtedly belong. way for for us to prove, not only that we are # great na- | people thereof perfectly free to regulate their | ton, but that Christianity has made us great, before we can reasonably expect the Jupanese to adopt our religion in order to emulate our progress. The large number of specimens of our inventions and manufactures which our Oriental vixiters have carried home with them; the instructions which they have received in various departments of science, art and indus- try, and the indications of our power and wealth which they have observed, will do more to supply the first of these proofs than ten thou- sand Bibles, or a dozen libraries of religous cies the Ambassadors might be fully posted upon every shade and variety of our religious veliefs. It is noticeable that the majority of these extemporaneous colporteurs have been adies. In spite of all that bas been written and printed in regard to the Japanese, it seems from these facts that a certain class, at least, of our people understand very little of their character, and fail to appreciate either their institutions or their intelligence. Certainly no embassy from France or Germany would have been a0 pes- tered by evangelical interlopers, and yet the chief members of a Freack or Germau embassy would probably have the same religious belief, or want of it, as the higher officials among the Japanese, In Japan, as ip France and Ger- many, the most learned, astute and philosopbi- eul of the aristocracy of rank, wealth and intel- lect have no religion at all, and are, in fact, in- fidels and atheists. To this class the principal officers of the Embassy which has just left our Matsmoto, the chief secretary of the Ambassadors, declared his atheism very distinctly in a conversation recently reported in our columns, and said, al- most in the very words of French and German infidel philosophers, that the most cultivated of the Japanese believed that the world came “ of course,” and that all sorts of religion were “ humbug and superstition.” The goverament very properly directed the Naval Commission to frustrate all officious missionary attempts. The only place of worship to which the Jupanese were taken in this country—and that at their own request—was a Universalist church, where the services, even if the Japanese under- stood them, could not very greatly shock sny opinion or prejudice, since the belief that there is no necessity for eternal salvation is but a step in advance of the doctrine that all men bolt shall, nolens volens, be saved. The real design of these zealous crusaders would not have been accomplished, however, if every one of the Japanese Embassy had been suddenly Christianized and joined one of our cburches‘on probation. The only result of this conversion would have been that, upon their return home, they would have been offered the agreeable alternative of an executioner or the hari-kari; for, as good Christians, in a Pa- gan country, our new converts could not but be- come proselyting; and just such religious Inter- ference shut Japan from the world years ago, and caused the mischief-makers to cross from y of each house of Congress, in that act re- | this world to the next upon that Mabometan bridge of sighs—a sword. Now, as ever, we clear the necessary look to Christianity. commerce to It is must The issue remained an open question, a thing | hooks. The Japanese estimation of Christi- of two faces, dowa to and through the cam- | paign of 1856. But shortly after the inaugura tion of Mr. Buchanan the Dred Scott decision of the Supreme Court was promulgated to the world. That decision, as delivered by Chief Justice Taney, declares that “every citizen has a right to take with him into the Territory any article of property which the constitution of the United States recogaises as property; that the constitution “recognises slaves as property, and pledges the federal government to protect it,” and that “Congress cannot exercise any more authority over property of that scrip tion than it may constitutionally exercise over property of any other kind.” The Court fur ther declares that the powers which Congress in its discretion may confer upon a Terrisorial government must be “powers not exceeding those which Congress iwelf, by the constitution is authorized to exercise.” This decision, which thus abolishes the doc- anity has not been very greatly elevated by their dealings with Christian nations in the past; aad upon the manner in which we carry on that great commerce with Japan which seems appros:h- ing, like a golden shower, from the East, de- pend ina great measure their regard for our religion and their appreciation of its blessings. Upon our commercial men, therefore, and not upon our city missionaries, we must rely for the conversion of the Japanese. Lf in our business transactions with them they discover that some thing more than smartness, acuteness and en terprise — that, in short, a vital religious power underlies our prosperity, they will be very like ly toadopt our religion, in some form or other, along with our goods. Meanwhile, those zeal- ous crusaders who have so gallantly but vainly atlacked the Jeddonians must solace themselves aa best they can. {f they are in earnest, bow- ever, and really desire sudjects for conversiva, | they can be found as readily, aad ia quite as trine of squatter eovereignty over slavery ia the | promising «condition, on the east side of town Territories, and establishes the doctrine of «lw very protection therein by the federal and lo- cal authorities while the Territorial cond tiou | remains, was at once promptly sccepved as toe supreme law of the land by the democratic par ty. But Mr. Douglas, in his Dlinois campaign of 1858, threw it off. It was « load wo bea vy to carry against the antielavery senti ment of that people. He that the Dred Scott decision did not, aod could noc, touch the supremacy of the popular will in the Territories—that the sovereignty of the people was, in fact, beyond the reach of the Supreme Court.

From that moment we predicted the downfal of Mr. Douglas at Charleston on the experi mental trial on bis part of the réie of Van Buren of 1848 Now our democratic readers will perceive the difficulty, the cause of the ex- plosion in their party camp, and the wide diy tincdon between the Breckinridge and the Doug!ss platform. The former rests npon the Dred Scott decision of the Supreme Court; the Douglas platform sticks to the old dogma of squatter sovereignty, notwithstanding that it bas been s¢ authoritatively declared gull and void as the Missouri Compromise line itself, And so it is that the Douglas party war cry of “disunioniste” against the Breckiaridge party will amountto nothing, so long as the platform of the latter resis upon « supreme law of the Inod, while squatter sovereignty, as tried in Kansas, has shown iteif to be full of the combustibles of civil war. them. , Thus, with the departure of the Japanese, ends our firet great metropolitan sensation of the season. The Great Eastern, whose majestic form liee at our wharves, has come opportunely to continue the excitement of which New York has been the centre for a few weeks past, The mammoth ship is now the sole grand attraction, and public attention ts turned for a time from the great event which heralded the opening of a fresh intercourse with « powerful and ancient nation in the Orient to the probable revolution in another direction, which the presence of this triumph of naval architecture enggests—a revo- lution which is destined to affect all maritime nations in both hemispheres, Meantime farewell, and a prosperous voyage, to the Japanese—princes, nobles, retainers, Tommy and all.

Tur Catirornta Mans,—The entire commer- cial community bas been thrown into a state of commotion by the doubt which exists as to the possibility of sending correspondence and other mail matter to California to-morrow by the I:thmus line of steamships, It was currently reported yesterday that Commodore Vanderbilt had refused to admit the mails, on any terms, on board the steamer to sail to-morrow for As- pinwall, and that he had notified the several express companies that if they took any mail matter in their cases by that steamer he would order it to be thrown overboard. Commodore Vanderbilt may pursue his quar- re] with the red tape that rules in the Post Of- tice Department, and the folly and venality that pervade Congress, in any manner he chooses, but be must not and shall not trifle with the press und the public, to the extent of refusing to carry, at a fair rate of re- muneration, the correspondence and papers that are of the highest interest to both the Atlantic and Pacific communities. He isa common carrier between New York and Sau Francisco, and if he attempts to place his private piques «san obstacle to the public good, and to avail himself of circumstances which have given him a temporary power to injure bun- dreds of thousands from motives of private re- sentment, it will be time for an injured press and an outraged people to sweep away his odious monopoly, The tyrannny of the Cali- fornia and Isthmus transportation monopoly has come to a. point at which it cannot’be much longer borne, and it would be well for Gommo- dore Vanderbilt, the Panama Railroad Company,” and the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, to be- | xin to exercise a. little common: sehse in their treatment of the public. in In regard to the duty of conufon éarricrs:to transport passengers and legal “meérebandite, they have no more right to refuse a passenger or parcel, if they have sufficient room and ac- commodations, than an innkeeper has to re- fuse a guest. The law expressly autho- rizes the carriage of mail matter by private conveyance on all routes that are not mail routes; and should Commodore Vanderbilt re- fuse to-morrow to comply with his duty as a common carrier, an action for damages will be brought against him by every person who may receive injury in his interest by such refusal. We hope we shall hear no more of a refusal to permit mail matter to be transported ata just rate of remuneration by the California steamship line, Tux Berra Lios Ramrant.—The English residents in the metropolis of the United States are always upon the defensive. According to their point of view, the reputation of the British Lion is in their particular and personal charge. They seem to believe the American Eagle is continually engaged in the pleasant operation | of worrying the old Lion, and that it behooves the followers of the latter to be continually on guard, So, when the Crimean war was going on, and a few practical jokers suggested, lightly enough, that Sebastopol never would be taken by the English, our resident British population got into s high state of indignation, and proved beyond any possible doubt that the Grenadier Guards would walk into the Malakoff as easily as Hyde Park. The result was not quite what might have been expected; still, the city was taken, and if the French took the glory to themselves, it was only on account of the national charac- istic of the Gaul to take anything he can get, fairly or unfairly. There were some dis- cussions as to the Indian rebellion, but the vext really grand conflict was apropos to the fight for the championship. It was held, on the one side, that the manner in which Sayers had been petted, after being pretty thoroughly whipped, was more characteristic of England in the ninth than tbe nineteenth century, with its schools and colleges, and manufactures and tele- graphs, and railways and all sorts of progress- ive things, and that the British Lion had be- haved altogether in a mean and despicable way. As this view of the matter could not be well controverted, the old lion bung his head and went up Broadway with his tail between his legs, until the Great Eastern arrived. Then he resumed his old majestic port. Then his mane and tail were as erect as ever; then he roared right lustily. Then he was proud of his big sbip, and said to Jonathan: “Behold Britannia — doesn't she rule the waves? Where are your great clippers and steamships alongside of the leviathan! Look at that triamph of British artificers, and let the Eagle hide his diminished head!” The Lion is right. The Great Eastern is one of the wonders of the world. And the real ruth of the matter is, that so exquisite are the perceptions of our people, and so ready are we .0 aocept and appreciate any improvemente in, or extension of, naval architecture, we have re- ceived the big ship with even more enthusiasin than she has created on the other side, We are not a bit jealous, One of these days, however, we intend to send to Liverpool or Southamp- ton a vessel which shall rival, if not surpass, the Great Eastern. So the oid Lioa must keep # sbarp lookout for bis laurels. Tur Great Easterns and THe Barsacux Quastion.Speculation is rife in various quar- ters as to the practicability of relieving the Great Eastern from the foreign bodies attached to her hull. It will never do to send her to sea from this port in the foul vondition in which abe left England. Some pian must be devised whereby she can be cleaned. The impression seems to prevail that we have no dry dock ac- commodations sufficieatly large to enable her to be taken clear out of the water and her barnacles removed ; but among other suggestions which we have received in connection with this sub- ject, one correspondent informs us that a con- junction of the great balance dock and the sec- tional floating dock would give a named lengts of over seven buadred fect, which would bo ship. The feasibility of so uniting them with safety to the bull of the vessel, and then getting her on them, is a point which must be decided by those better acquainted with the mechanism of the affair, One thing appears certain, that before she leayes us some plan will be devised by American ingenuity to get rid of this difi- culty. Bruwiayi Fear at Mbzant Hau..—To be on both sides of the fence at the same time, and: to carry water on both shoulders, is nothing compared with the performance at Mozart Hall on Friday evening, when it undertook to back both the rival democratic candidates for the Presidency. 1n fact, the achievement of Mon- sieur Bloudin, cooking an omelet on the tight rope over Niagara Falls, was outdone by the rival of Tammany, which can only boast the ordinary performance of supporting its own favorite. Mogart not only sustains the same candidate with one hand, and holds up the other candidate with the other hand, but advocates a middle course of sustaining neither, and yet both to- gether. Here is wonderful dexterity, surpassing the skill of Indian jugglers. , Mozart resolves that it “views John C. Breckinridge as a high- toned democrat, eminently national in his princi- ples, and entirely deserving the confidence of the American people.” Mozart resolves also that it “respects the ability and talents of Mr. Douglas,” and “ cannot decide between the fitness of these two candidates”—reminding us of Macheath, in the “Beggar's Opera,” whose impartiality in the expression of bis passion for his two mistresses is so well put in the lines— “How happy could 1] be with either, Were tother dear charmer away.” But as peither charmer is likely to be away, Mozart therefore resolves, further, that “ it ear- nestly recommends the nomination of a joint electoral ticket in this State.” If, however, this is impracticable, if the jealous rivals will notagree, Mozart will leap to one side, the side of the Douglas, as being, in its opinion, “the strongest” in the State. It only “respects the ability and talents of Mr. Douglas”—not a word about his principles or deserts; whereas, Breckinridge is “high-toned, national in his prypciples, and en- tirely deserving of the confidence of the Ameri- can people.” in other words, if St. Mozart cannot embrace both, he will prefer the candi- | date who is less high-toned, less national in his principles, and less deserving of the confidence ‘of thé country. We fear Mozart is not impro- ving in public virtue and morality of late; and we fear that in attempting too much on the political tight rope on which he is now poised, he will lose his balance and be precipitated headlong into a deeper abyss than Niagara's flood, and never more appear on the surface again. Tux Pors’s Ixisn Brigape.—While : siderable attention is directed on this of the Atlantic to the unusually large number of immigrants arriving in this country from Ire- land, we learn from late advices that the emi- gration of young men, the pick and choice of the Irish peasantry, and even of the Irish con stabulary, is vigorously going on in the direc- tion of Rome, to join the ranks of the Pontifical army in defence of the temporal power and principality of the Pope. From every quarter of the country, it appears they are hast ening to Dublin for shipment to Rome, in bands of from twenty-five to a hundred, in some cases accom- panied by their priests, at whose instigation, it would seem, this exodus is chiefly undertaken. While it may seem incongruous that a people who have been always siriving against a despot- ism at home, should thus hurry to the support ofa foreign despotism with apparent enthu- siasm, yet, taken in conjunction with the tm- mense emigration to America, the fact would argue that there is great deurth of profitable employment in Ireland, notwithstanding the re- presentations of increasing prosperity which have of late years proceeded from that quarter, impetus which Irish emigra- tion to this country has recently received has been accounted for by the prosperity of the immigrant classes here, the large sums of mouey forwarded to friends at home, and the glowing accounts of this country by Dr. Cahill, who is akind of oracle with his countrymen; but the emigration to Rome would euggest that either discontent or adversity has made any escape from their native land a welcome boon to the Irish people.
