COMMODORE Perry AND SENATOR SUMMER
A Word IN Season.-It will be remembered
that when The late Commodore Perry sailed
for Japan, there was some solicitude as to the
precise nature of his expedition, and this was
openly expressed in debate at Washington.
1t was feared that, through the latitude of his
instructions, it might be made hostile rather
than commercial and pacific. Under these
circumstances he received warning from
Senator Sumner, which, it seems. was NOT
forgotten. Being at Washington on the eve
OF sailing, the Commodore had an interview
with the Senator, when the latter, after al.
luding to the reports as to the character of the
expedition and to the solicitude which he in
common with others felt that il should be
conducted without violence, proceeded 10
urge upon him the duty Of keeping bimsel,
IN all respects, absolutely within the strietest
limits of self-defence The meeting ended
by notice TO the Commodore, that IL q sinple
hostile gun was cred against the peoplo of
Japan, the act should be openly denounced

This is an exceedingly interesting work. being
ing 70 considerable extent the air and bar~oler
of an autobiography. In it are disclosed the
trials and experiences of conscientious pastor,
having charge Of church in which, as is the
case with far too many, those have acquired
an influence and ascendancy, seek more tbs
qualification of their own prejudices, passions,
and propensities, than the purity and the true
welfare of the Christian church. The pictures
here drawn will find counterpart in but too
many places. and the book will be read with the
humiliating conviction that poor human nature
is much the same everywhere, whether in the
church or out Of it, when not under the softeninQ
and controlling influence of Christian grace.

upon the South, and contendng that the ag

sion of Kanzas, the Fugitive Slave Law, the
repeal Of the Missouri Compromise, and the
bred Scott decision, were the leading topics
to which he animal ferted in terms of severest
sarcasm and rebuke. He replied to the as

when the Kanzas bill was reported in Com.

that the constitution should be submitted to
the people, but it was afterwards stricken out.
This assertion created a running fire of deni
ais and affirmations from members, and some
personalities were used, when the Speaker
was obliged to remind the Senators not to ex-
coed the limits of debate. Adjourned.
