| THE RICHMOND REpUBLIcAN.-The publishers
and folly of issuing mammoth sheet. The
struggle to do this, for appearance sake is as
absurd as it is general. Nowhere, except in
the largest commercial cities, where space is
needed to meet the custom of profitable adver-
tsers, should larger daily sheet than the Ma
tional Mtellgencer be printed; and many of the
best in our country are smaller than this. But
u larger size is nconvenient, and should only
be adopted from pressing necessity We pre-
dict for the Republican increased patronage upon
its reduction in size. Its editors say
''We propose, OH the / st of July, to issue the
Daily paper on a sheet greatly reduced in size,
but shall in no case curtai the amount of read
ing matter heretofore furnished to our readers
BY throwing out many annual advertisements
which we have permitted to accumulate beyond
their legitimate duration, as well as in many
cases beyond their allotted space, we shall be
able to give a freshness to our whole sheet,
which does not characterize Daily papers bur-
dened with advertisements bearing old dates.
This arrangement, too, will enure much to the
benefit of our advertising patrons themselves
for it will force them to reneao more frequently,
or have their notices pushed aside altogether
after they have been inserted certain period.
"The Semi-Weekly issue will be double the
size of the Daily Republican, and larger than the
present sheet. The Weekly will not be altered
in any respect unless to improve its typographi-
cal appearance.
whenever occasion requires it, from a press
of transient advertisements, or an additional ac-
cumulation of news matter, we shall invariably

THE RECENT CANE PREsENTATIoN.-The cor
respondence in relation to this little matter has
been copied into many of the papers on our
exchange list. From the editorial columns Of
the Charlestown Free PresS-one of the best
newspapers in Virginia, by the way-we quote
the following remarks:
Presentation of a Cane 10 r. W. Latham
Latham, the Banker at Washington, is a man
to be noted. Whatever he does is done with
such hearty goodwill, such an earnestness,
that everybody is convinced his soul is in the
act. Whether he breaches sermon, or counts
out q pile of bank notes, the act has an JUNCTION
about it that gives it double value. He makes
troops of friends" wherever he goes; and if
anybody should be cross enough to become his
enemy through prejudice to his vocation, he is
sure to repent the act upon n closer acquaint-
ance.
Some of the Baltimore friends of Mr.. Latham,
who have watched with interest his progress in
the National Metropolis, lately determined to
give him a striking evidence Of their regard,
and accordingly they presented him walking
cane-a handsome, and yet substantial affair.
They gave it to him, not simply as memorial
due to all accomplished business man, but on
account of his unhagging efforts and patriotic
sentiments in behalf of the Union of the States.
Their illusions touched the proper chord, and
friend Lathams enthusiasm gave itself vent in
many glowing and appropriate thoughts, couch
ed in eloquent and burning words. We have
not room for them at present but we cannot
dismiss the subject without joining him in the
following glowing paragraph, in reference to
the Union and its blessings:
| ave have great cause for congratulation, and
our breasts should overflow with gratitude to
the Author of every "good and perfect gift, y
that our country is now safe and that here,
beneath the wide-spreading branches of the
Tree of Liberty, we may dwell secure"

THE CONSTITUTION OF OHo.-In many par
ticulars the Constitution of Ohio appears to be
almost literal copy of that lately adopted in
Maryland. In regard to legislation, it is re-
quired that no law shall be passed without
the concurrence of majority of all the men,
bers elected in each house and no bill to con-
tain more than one subject"
Judges, and all other public officers of every
grade, are to be elected by the people. The
practice, pleadings, forms, and proceedings
of the courts of record" are to be revived, re-
formed, simplifed, and abridged; and distinc-
tions between law and equity proceedings are
to be abolished These are wholesome and
much-needed provisions; and we hope that the
work will be well performed in Maryland as
well as Ohio.--BdN Clipper

Mr.. WHITTIER's POEMs-A COOP SUCCESS
rIoN--A correspondent living in Washington
says vi wish you could Induce Mr. Whittier TO
publish an edition of his poems that could be
handled without gloves. He is eminently the
poet of the People and yet we cannot have his
noble serse in durable form, for the singular
reason that we are poor. ! know Of many Of
Mr. Whttier's warmest admirers who share my
poverty and my regret that a cheap edition is
denied us If he thinks his pecuniary interest
is promoted by his associatng on the cases of
booksellers with the parlor poets only, he is
surely mistaken. In the name of the friends of
humanity and lovers of good poetry among the
poor, demand cheap edition of Whittier
We second the motion. For the form in which
our friend Winters Poems have been given to
the public, the publisher is responsible, not he.
The pecuniary motive has the least possible to do
with the poet The suggestion of our cores
pendent is good one, and We commend it to
the consideration of Mr.. Whittier's publishers
He is not the only poet whose influence has
been restricted by being dressed in so costly a
style, that the masses have been unable to take
him to their humble homes 1t is well enough
to have superb editions for those who can afford
to buy them, and cheap ones for the People
who have no money to waste upon typographi-
cal beauty.

When was attacked, Lopez was only three

limited STATES MISSION TO JAPAN.

Commander AULIcK, who was appointed
-, .si~ nJpnths ago to the command OF our
East India Squadron sailed from NorrOx eAs>S
last June with instruction. it is understood, to
visit Japan, and endeavor TO open trade with
that Empire. 1t is an object of great interest,
and we hope our Government will not abandon
its pursuit until it has tried every legitimate
means. The civilized world is concerned in its
accomplishment.
For the information of our readers we have
been at some pains to procure very interest
ing correspondence on the subject which we
publish on our fourth page. 1t consists of
three papers, submitted to the United States
Government by AARON Fl PALMER, gentle
man who has been for several years diligently
engaged in collecting authentic information re-
specting Japan and its People, their resources
trade, language, literature, &c. and is perhaps
better informed on these topics than any man
in the United States His suggestions, we have
reason to believe met with the concurrence of
Mr.. Clayton, Secretary of State under General
Taylor, and would have been carried into eff
feet but for the death of the President and con-
sequent change of Administration.
The letter Of Mr. Palmer to Mr. Clayton
embodies much important and interesting mat
ter in relation to the interior of Japan. We
commend the whole correspondence to the at
tention of the reader
