and religious freedom, and the Constitution of
the United States, which contains recognition

teaching that the Creator hath made Of one

face Of the earth" that he is no respecter Of
persons, and that he will break the rod of the

THE JAPANEsE.--The Tribune, noticing
the reception of the American expedition by
the Japanese says:
"Thc Japanese have not lost their ancient
reputation for courtesy. By the advces we
learn that Commodore Perry was most civil
ly and politely received, after little show of
determination on his part to the primary Oh
stacles they offered; results similar to the
early intercourse of the Dutch with the
same people some two centuries back. "The
natives" we are assured, "with whom our
countrymcn came in contact, were friendly
in their demeanor, and the Governor of Ura-
ga is spoken of rs Il model of refinement
and good breeding" When the Jcsuits
wished to introduce their religion into Japan,
some opposition was made. The Emperor
asked of his Council, How many different
sects are there in Japan!" "Thirty-sx," was
the reply. "Then one more will do no harm.
Admit the Jesuts." The civilization which
dictated such reply, seems indefinitely be-
yond that of Christendom at the same pc.
Rod. The Christian sect was tenderly treat
cd. 1t found among the japanese many low
ing converts some forty thousand protessed
Christianity But one day some of them
showed the clovcn foot-insnltcd a political
grandea on the highwav-exhibited the bIoat
of power and then the cnragcd Emperor
kicked the whole concern out of his domin-
ions. If the Christians behave properly
they may again get fo0thold in JAPAN
And from our experience thus far, we Judge
that Commodore Perry is the man to accom-
plisli this undertaking.

Of 1852, as much completed railroad, within
$500 miles, us all the rest of the world put
together In the United States there were in
operation at that time, 1888 miles; in the
various countries Of Europe, l4,l4S. By the
beginning of 1853, the completed roads, in
this country had increased to $4,000 miles,
while European roads had grown to 10000,
making the difference, at that time, only 5000
miles There were also, at the beginning of
this year. 1850 miles in process of construc.
in the United States; in ALL therefore,
tSructed and constructing, 10000. On the
same authority, there is no exaggeration in
saving that before 1860, there will be in our
country $4,000 miles of completed railway.
These facts indicate pretty rapid progress.

that Commander lnglciield, on his return
from the Arctic waters, whittier he was sent
by the Admiralty last spring with supplies
for the Searching Expeditions, would be able
to bring some light as 20 the fate of Sir John

Clure has really accomplished the Northwest
passage, and has brought his vessel and crew
safe through without the loss of a single life,
Notwithstanding the hardships of three Polar
winters and periIs uncomfortable among the
