NEW MOVEMENTS IN JAPAN.

We give elsewhere, from various sources, inter-
esng details Of the movements of the United States
and British authorities in opening and widening
commercial and diplomatic intercourse with the EN-
peror of Japan. Aside from any immediate advan.
tage to be secured by extending the trade relations
of the various commercial States with the heretofore
closed empire of Japan the events recorded cannot
fail to be exceedingly interesting. The successful
expedition of the late Commodore Perry, in break
ing down the barriers which have ever obstructed
the intercourse of all civilized States with the Japan
esq., was an event in the history of the human fam
lily which can never be forgotten. 1t reflected
at the time great credit upon the enterprise Of
the American people; but there few only
who anticipated that at early day the ma
ton which had steadily resisted all propositions
to hold relations with the rest of mankind would
yield to the peaceful demands of commerce and
open their ports and their palaces to the trade aud
courtesies of the civilized world. We do not regard
as of much consequence the peculiar advantages
which this or that nation have secured by treaty
with the Japan government. The work which is
important and paramount to all others is simply the
opening and widening of general intercourse. It is
obvious that when this shall be completed the En-
peror will conform to the rules of civilized fe and
place all commercial States as nearly as possible
upon an equal footing. Meanwhile it will be the
part of wisdom to maintain in Japan competent
agents to take charge of interests, and that
the great diplomatic States of Europe do not acquire
advantages over US.
1t is impossible not to feel in view of the recent
movements in China and Japan, that we are crowdng
upon important commercial events in the extreme
East which require all the vigilance and ssgaciy Of
Justly won the right at least, to equal footing
with the most favored nations and may well trust
the practical work Of securing the fruits of East
ern policy TO the active commercial enterprise of
our people. .a
