Letter of President Fillmore the EN- pcror OF

Letter of President Fillmore to the Emperor of
Japan.
The following is extract from 4 letter from Pres
ident Fillmore 10 the Emperor of Japan, and which
will be conveyed to the latter functonary BY the
handing officer of the U. s. naval expedition shortly
10 sail for that distant empire:
Il send you by this letter an envoy of my own ap-
pohtment, officer of high rank in his country, who
is no missionary of religion. He goes by my com.
mand to bear 10 you my greeting and good wishes,
and TO promote friendship and commerce between the
two countries
"You know that the United States of America now
extend from to sea that the great countries of Or
egon and California parts of the United States ;
and that from these countries, which rich in gold
and silver and precious stones can reach
the shores of your happy land in less than twenty
days.
s. Many of our ships will now pass in every year,
and some perhaps in every week between California
and China; these ships must pass along the coasts OF
your Empire storms and winds may cause them 10
| be wrecked on yOnr shores, and ask and expect
from your friendship and your greatness, kindness for
our men and protection fo- our property. We wish
that our people may be permitted to trade with your
people, but we shall not authorize them to break any
! laws of your Empire.
" Our object is friendly commercial intercourse and
nothing more. You may have productions which we
should be glad 10 buy and have productions which
might suit your people.
. Your Empire contains great abundance of coal
this is an article which steamers in going from
California 10 China They would be glai
that harbor in your Empire should be appointed 10
which coal might be brought, and where they might
always able TO purchase it,
I'm many other respects commerce between your
Empire and our country would be useful 10 both -
Let rs consider we'll what new interests may arise
from these recent events which have brought our two
countries so near together and what purposes of friend
y amlty and Intercourse This ought inspire in the
hearts OF those who govern both countries

In the Senate on the 18th inst. Mr.. Mangum made
personal explanation of his views relative to the
Presidency. He avowed himself strongly in favor Of
Gen. Scott as the only Wing who could get hall
enough votes to elect him. He believed Gen Scott
TO be in favor of the Compromise, but thought it
necessary TO agitate that question now. He excul
pated General Scott from all connection with the
abolit:cni-ts.

The Times and Mr.. HalIctt.

The Times in allusion to our hit at Seward as the
Scott leader declares that there is no difference
between Seward and Mr.. Halett, the Chairman of
the Democratic National Committee in regard to
their free-soil opinions and purposes We not a
little surprised at neighbours avowed want of
discrimination. We know not whether Mr.. Rantoul
was correct or not in representing Mr.. Hallett as
having in l849 offered free-soi resolution in pub
lie meeting in Massachusetts. But we do know that
Mr.. Hallett is sworn enemy to the freesoers
and holds opinions in most intimate correspondence
with the tenets Of the National Democracy. In
published letters from Washington last January, we
commended Mr.. Hallett for his bold championship
of Southern Rights, and described him being
thoroughly in favor of the full execution of the COM
promise, which he regards nothing else but the
fu gtive slave laval the other measures of the
Compromise being executed and irrepealable We
also published the circular of Mr.. Halett calling
together members of the committee, in which the
following expressions to be found:
1t is apparent that no preliminary act can bet
ter tend promote the Democratic cause than to
ensure the cordial cooperation of the Democracy of
each State in sending Delegates to a National Con-
vention To nominate with unanimity, in such a
Convention, will be to elect candidates. To en-
sure the holding of such Convention, there must
be ample assurance and mutual confidence, that the
Constitutional rights of the South will be safe in the
Constitutional good faith of the North.
No meeting has been called or held, by the
Chairman, the Executive Committee members
of the Committee since the last Presidential cleo
tion and correspondence has been held, relating
to any matter, except the time and place of holding
Convention upon the National platform, establish
ed by the Baltimore Convention. and the support of
the Compromise upon which now materially depends
the support of the Union, always a cardinal princi-
pie of the Democracy of the Union With these
views of confirming fraternal relations and cordial
CO. operation between all sections of the Union and
of holding conference in the firm spirit of Demo-
cratic brotherhood that animates the whole
Democratic party, and before which, in the triumphs
already achieved in Democratic States from New
Hampshire to Georgia. all sectionalsm, all Northern
disunion Southern secession disappearing
respectfully notify you, that a meeting of the Ma
tional Democratic Committee, of which you a
member, will be held at the National Hotel, in Wash
ington D. c.: on the goth day of December, 1851

Commodore Stockton and jefferson Davis.
In answer to communication from a committee
of gentlemen of Autauga county, Alabama, Commo-
dore Stockton has written letter from which we
extract the following paragraph:
WASHINGTON CITY, March H. 1852.
Gentlemen:-I have received your friendly letter
of the 2lst February, 1852 in which. after express
ing your confidence in my principles, you say that
" ticket with the names of Stockton and Davis
!. will not only be elected but by such overwhem-
ing majority" SC, &c. You intimate that with
my appreciation. you design presenting my name to
the people of the United States candidate for
the Presidency.
You do me no more than justice in assuming that
the devoted friend of the rights of the States
citizen of of the smallest States in the Union
instnctivey consider the reserved rights of the
States to be the palladium of the liberties of the
whole people-and that rigid construction of the
ty of the UNION. While the reserved rights of the
States and the constitution secured against in
fringement, the republic is safe but no longer.
entertain great respect for the character and
public services of Col Jefferson Davis, and would
feel honored by being associated with him at any
post to which the saFagsS of the people might call
Permit me, before closing this letter. to say that,
in my opinion it rests with the SOUTH almost entire
ly to place this government by the ensuing election,
in such hands will protect the rights of the States
and avert the dangers which threaten the Union and
the Constitution. Should the South now, from per-
sona or any other considerations, omit to perform
her duty, she may discover her mistake when it is
too late.
The South demands that the constitution shall be
adhered to strictly in the spirit and letter. and that
the government should be brought back to the fru-
gality and simplicity which distinguished the ad-
ministrations Of Washington and of Jefferson
Should these principles be lost sight Of at this crti
cal period, the government will continue in its pres
ent career of boundess expenditure and loose con-
struction, until we find ourselves oppressed with a
mountain of debt and struggling vanly against the
usurpaton of majority controlling a government
in the exercise of unlimited powers.
am, gentlemen, with sentiments of sincere re-
gard. your obedient servant,
