at Matsmai or Sho-di-ma may reap golden har-
vests. Lines Of steamers may be expected to
ply between China and San Francisco, touching .
at the Loo Choo Islands and Japan, and thus /
the people of the two continents will for the |
first time be brought into rapid contact, and !
close intimacy. We rejoice 70 think that in
comforting this singular boon On his own coun-
trymen and the Japanese, the Trainer of Perry's
instructions has not been animated by any self
ish feeling, or narrow prejudice, and that If the
boon conferred by the treaty was not extended
TO all other nations besides the United States
the fault did not lie with US. England and
France will lose no time in making the appl-
cation required by Japanese pride: and before
ten years, the Pacific Ocean will in all probabi-
lily be covered by as many steamers as now
float on the Atlantic.
CONGRESS. Nebraska bill appears to
have acted upon the members of Congress Ike
the confusion of tongues introduced at the Tow
er Of Babel-Nebraska has scattered them to
the four winds, for scarcely quorum has been
present in either house, on any day since the
passage Of tie bill. They appear to be well
aware of the impending revolution in political
parties of the country, consequent upon the
spells policy OF the administration, the Nebras-
ka question: the renewed agitation Of the slave
ny question, and in the movements of the Know
Nothings. Hence many Of the Solons and
wiseacres of the two houses at Washington have
been lodging home to their constituents to see
how the land lies, only to return more perplcx-

ance of things. Yesterday a movement wa
made by Gen. Walbridge, Of the House, for an
adjournment in July but from the mass of an
finished business OF real Importance, and Aom
the fact that neither the Gadsden treaty sp oils
men, nor the patent SPECTATORS nor the rail-
road land .obbers have as yet had pull at the
public plumber, the honest people Of t'Ae c0un-
try, who pay all the bills, may thank their stars
if we are blest with the final adjournment Of
this session Of Congress as early as Che middle
of August or September; indeed tfle result of
Gen. WIS motion was an agreement on the part
Of the House to adjourn on the 14th of August
The proposition of the Senate to take re-
cess for month or two, and then to meet
again, holds out sorry prospect of an earlier
day than the LIST of September. But we shall
see. Perhaps the itching curiosity, anxiety,
end dubiety of members concerning their dear
constituents, may facilitate their final adjourn
ment. We are in the midst of political revo-
luton, and host of the law makers at Wash
ington before next December will have made
the discovery. Within the last ten days we
have been favored with quite catalogue of
members of both houses, visiting this city in
order to see how the land lies for our next Con-
gressional elections, our next Governor, and
the next Presidency. And they are welcome
to all the information which they obtained.
Perhaps, too, they may have discovered the
necessity for branch mint in New York. But
as we can hardly expect nything of them now
more generally acceptable than speedy ad-
journment, let us hope that there may still Ike
sufficient wisdom and patriotism in both houses
to give this boon to the public. An early adj
journment is the thing 1t will enable oil par
ties interested in the spols to shape out their
plans more deliberately for the next session
We trust that this consideration will carry the
day, and leave the administration to u few
months of repose. What with their Gadsden
treaties, the spoils, and their wars with SPAIN
they very much require little rest. Their
labors have been arduous, and they must be
exhausted.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN THE little free soil
soft shell administration organ of this city
yclept the True National Democrat, is in a
transition. 1t has become very feeble upon tie
thin soup of executive patronage, and is evi-
IDENTIFY resolved upon raising another disturb
ance in the family on tie Irish question. Hear
what 1t recommends as the true policy Of the
democratic part :
Honestly speaking Believe that the democratic
party viii become worthy of itself and worthy Of
its noble principles until thoroughly Amercanizes al
It's views and wholly aenaics Itself from all foreign In.
huenees There OF course, ptons to all general
rules and we are hee aIl there acquainted with Irish
honorable But, as body, the Irish Away nsin-
eere, always corrupt always ungratesul, ignorant,
cannot properly appreciate it. Their sense of equaty
Is nothing but intene selhshnes their sense OF
sna, whicn pays most Tor The most perdy From
Good Lord deliver us as well as the democratic party
This is naked proposition to swap of the
Irish vote for the Know Nothings. The paper
advancing this proposition is an organ of the
administration. 1t is in the confidence of Gen.
Pierce and his Cabinet. Now, then, we desire
an answer "by authority" to this question:
Is the True National Democrat authorized
by the President, or Cabinet, or any of them, to
throw out this proposition for casting of the
Irish and adopting the Know Nothinrs as the
basis of the reorganization of the administra-
ton democratic party? Can the Washington
Union answer?
