LEGISLATURE SOUTH acknowledgements
MESSAGE. The legislative body of this State organ
lied Monday last and the message of the Govern
or sent in on the following day. 1t is an able
document and mostly made up of State matters. He
considers the financial distress greater than at any
time since 1887, when the whole country was en-
bar, assed. He opposes the creation of new banks,
thinking them not calculated to remedy the evil He
opposes the adjustment of the militia system, and
recommends change in the school system. He
thinks the laws relative to free persons of color ar
irving in the seaports of the State might be modi-
ed not to give offence to foreign Governments
Asrespects national matters the Governor considers
that the United States should carefully observe its
treaties, pursue sound and discreet eign policy,
and avoid even the appearance of graspng after any
portion of foreign territory. He regards the result
of the recent elections at the North indicative of
great disturbance of the harmony and peace of the
country; but hecounsels calmness, moderation, and
forbearance and hopes the South win discard ali par
y jealousies and stand by the Constitution and the
Union These certainly just, honorable and pat
riotic sentiments, worthy of an eminent statesman,
and in fine contrast with those of some Incorporate
partsans elsewhere. We cannot doubt ready ac-
quiescence in views urged calmly and OPPORTUNITY

Resignation of the Architect of the New
State House.

GENTLEMEN-When YOU expressed wish
that | should continue to be architect of the
new State House, understood from the
President of the Board that it was the inten-
ton of the new Commissioners to permit me
to carry out my plans in such manner as
to make good and durable building.
When first accepted the appointment of
architect in 1913, it was with the under
standing, usual in such cases, that I, as
architect, should have the supervision of
Office, determined to dispense with any other
general superintendent Under my direc-
ton the work was accordingly carried on
during more than four years, and in that
time the house was raised to the top Of the
pilasters, and the whole of the first and
second stories vaulted with brick 1t was
part Of the system established for me to re-
port to the Commissioners at the close OF
every year, the progress and condition Of the
work. and to furnish such estimates and in
formation as would enable the General As
sembly to see what amount could be Judi
ciously expended the following year. | may
remark that, during that time, the work
closed every year exactly at the course of
stone to which had calculated it would be
raised by the amount appropriated. At the
end of the year 1881, the work was in the
most complete condition for its most rapid
and economical prosecution. and l expected
during the following two seasons of 1852
and 1888, to have been able to finish the eX-
terror stone work, Except the terrace,) and
to put the permanent roof on the building.
To accomplish this I stated that $3.50 ,00O
would be required, and in my report at the
close of the year 1851, recommended that
not less than that amount should be asked
of the General Assembly, which amount has
since been appropriated.

Opening of japan.

We have very important intelligence from
Japan, to the effect that the country will
shortly be opened TO the commerce of all the
world. The visit of Commodore Perry in
July last, has no doubt FASTENED the event,
which his return would probably have &C
complished but the actual achievement is
due to the Russians; not to the Americans.
While Commodore Perry deemed it the
wisest course, after delivering the letter of
the President of the United States in due
form at Uraga, to allow six months to
elapse before requiring an answer, Admiral
Pontiatine without debating the place where
he should hold intercourse with the Japanese
authorities, went as directed to Nagasaki
and has succeeded III negotiating, apparently
without any sacrifice of national dignity.
and with the sort of success which the world
was more prepared TO expect from the prac-
tical republic than from the Russian auto
cracy.
According to the information we have re-
ceived from an authentic source, some time
after the Russian admiral intimated his pres
ence and objects at Nagasaki, two high Off
GERS arrived, and after entertaining him at a
feast on shore, entered upon the objects of
the visi! in friendly and even cordial
candidly that the Japanese government, see
ing the earnest desire of foreign nations to
hold intercourse with them, and their own
people being anxious TO trade, it had been
resolved to open the commerce of Japan to
all nations. In this spirit all the ports of
Japan might at once be considered as open
to foreign vessels requiring to refit or take in
supplies of wood and water but, to avoid
ho i
to land This, however, is only confirming
what foreigners have already enjoyed, with
out always fairly acknowledging. With
regard to commercial intercourse, the Japan
ese officers stated, that after centuries of Sc
clusion, some preparations were necessary
and a year must therefore elapse before any
treaty of privilege to trade could come into
operation.
We have no doubt as to the accuracy o.
this information, and are further inclined tC
believe that similar result might have beer
effected long ago by Great Britain, if she hat
ever been fortunate enough to have entrusted
her interests in this part of the globe to any
one who did not look steadily and exclu
sively to his own fortunes, and how to OBJ
tain honors without deserving them. DR.
Bowring may not be insensible to either. bu
he is less likely than any of his predecessors
or any Admiral we have seen on the station
to overlook the opportunity Of achieving
lasting reputation for himself.
Seven years ago an expedition on larg
scale was projected under Sir John Davis
but was considered of so little importanc
that Sir Thomas Cochrane preferred remov
ing the squadron to earn head money in Bor
neo and the scheme was never resumed

Breaking up of Parties.

1t has long been apparent that the old
party organizations, which have controlled
the government Of the United States for the
last quarter Of a century, must break up
There is a great effort making on the part of
old party leaders to prevent this dissolution
OF organizations. Shrewd politicians have
seen their approaching fate, and have sought
sedulously to avoid it. The dissolution of
party organizations is all that has really been
apprehended by those who have been so anx-
ious and fearful about the g dissolution Of
the Union" 1t is the dissolution of the
union between corrupt, mercenary politi-
clans and the government patronage. which
they have apprehended and have struggled to
avert-the dissolution of the orgaization
which has bound together the political BAN
ditti for the purpose of plunder and war up
on the people.
this union. 1t is tacitly acknowledged by
the politicians of both the old parties, that
the old order of party arrangements must
ken now by either party. Each party bases
and disunion of the other-and not upon
its own strength. The game now between
the parties is simply to see which will break
up first, and which will retain strength
enough to snatch for brief time in its
death-grasp the effects of the bankrupt
party.
It makes but little difference to the peo-
pie which party breaks up first. The sur
vivor-whichsoeveri it may be, will be no less
the plunderer of the people, and no less the
contemner of their rights and the &c crusher-
out" of the principles of justice and free
dom, that its broken down rival would be
under an exchange of places. The true doc
trine for the people IS to break up and g crush
out" both the old parties. The true issue is
between the people and the party politicians.
The duty of the people is to dissolve this
corrupt union Of the politicians-this union
of spoilers for the sake of spoils. There is
no other hope for the true principles of re-
pubicanism. What Wing principle will
the Wing party carry out? or what Demo-
cratic principle will the Democratic party
carry out? None whatever. Let there be
a union of the people to put down the poll
ticians, and break up the corrupt ma achinery
of unprincipled partyism.-[ Boston Com
