declare purpose to set limits to our industry
and to our enterprise, to fence in our frontiers,
to circumscribe our relations, in truth to place
US in political dependence to monarchy.
Our great strength lies in the freedom OF the
laws OF population, as we'll rs In the freedom
of our political system. II is the former which
are the subject of attraction, and which have
drawn to our shores millions from the other
side of the water. II is what has peopled our
new States, what has raised up an army Of indie
pendent proprietors and hardy citizens, which
the combined aristocrats Of the world cannot
conquer. These are the real flibusteroes Of
America. 1t is they who have conquered Texas,
subeued California, peopled Louisiana and
Florida-who have invested Mexico and Cuba,
and who ultimately will possess both those
countries.
This class it is who, in fact, stand ready to
meet the intrigues of the London cabinet, to
answer Lord Clarendon and the London Times,
to put arguments and resolution into our gov

felt moralists. Not from them have come pro-
jects of disunion. To Massachusetts, Vermont
and South Carolina are such honors reserved.
HoILANDs DEALING WITH JApAN.--We trans
fer to our columns this morning the translation
of report presented by the Colonial Minister
of the Netherlands to the King, on the subject
Of Japan. 1t will be found to be highly in,
teresting document. 1t is narrative which
commences in 1S45, at which time the King of
Holland addressed the late Emperor of japan,
rec ommending the abandonment of the old ex-
elusive policy OF the empire, aud treats of the
events that have since occurred there, embrac-
ing the visit of Commodore Perry, of the Rus
sian Admiral Pontiatine, and of the Dutch
man-of-war Soembing. 1t also comprises the
draft of a treaty proposed between the Neither
lands and Japan, with the explanatory notes
and suggestions belonging to the subject.
1t would appear from this report that the
Japanese themselves have begun to recognize
the benefits that would result to them from an
abandonment of their historic exclusiyeism, and
the consequent cultivation of the arts of Euro
pean civilization. AT the urgent solicitation of
the Governor of Nangasaki, some hundreds Of
the native youths were daily--during the stay
of the Soembing--exercsed in military and
naval tatics, the science of engineering, &c.,
while others had commenced to learn European
languages, particularly Datch. Furthermore,
a special commission of five members of the
high government were sent from Jeddo to Nan
gasaki for the purpose of inspecting the man.
of-war, and of acquiring information on ship
building and engineering. All this goes to
prove very satisfactorily that the old barriers
Of prejudice and barbarism are beginning to
give way in the empire of japan before the
engines Of modern civilization, rs first brought
to bear by Commodore Perry and the Ameri-
can squadron which he commanded. Read the
report.
