Kong under aa,e of Febuary Is IA fellows:
Have you yet heard in the United States Of the
promising trade that has already sprang up lc-
tween NAga>ak (.Japnn) and Shanghai! No less
than twenty vessels have visitcl the former port
during the last four months. and exports seem
much more abundant than WAS deemed possible.
Vegetable vas, ginseng, lacquer ware, china d.,
vegetable OIL hemp. rice, soya, silks, etc, the
prnriral articles. and upon many Of these the
most VACANT profits have been realized.
Upon the vegetable oil. in particular does money
promise 10 be made, 1t is said to be abundant
very chear, and answers for IN, King paints we'll

Il large supply nt an unheardof cost. A quantity
Of it already landed in Shanghai paid profit OF
several hundred per cent. Those things all con-
side ed ycrv much fear that myself and every
one else have hitherto very much moderated the
internal resources of Japan, or rather the amount
Of exports that would be found ready for our ship
ping would not now pretend 10 say of Low
much value the commerce of Japan may prove to
be t. The world at large at n future day.

is entitled to protection from the General Gov.
ernment. This right Of protection follows
the right of property as the shadow docs the
! substance.
How is it possible for an argument that
proves right to property, to "repudiate' its
correllativc right Of ample protection F!
There is but this difference between Judge
Black and Gov. Wise-the former, consulting
cautious prudence, alludes to no question or
subject that does lot directly present itself in
the issue, while the latter, disdaining the
prompting of such timidity, boldly follows the
questions at issue in all their ramifcatons.-
The one is a Judge, deciding question Of
law, the other a statesman, Calculating Con-
stitutional subject
The argument OF Judge Black is understood
to speak the sentiments of the President, and,
as such, will be received as endorsing, as far
as ii yofs, the position of the Southern Demo-
cracy Us presented by Governor Wise Had
the Adlunish ttion seen proper to have follow
cd its reasoning To their legitimate conclusion
Of protection, in the common territory, when
needed, Of the rights Of all persons to every
kind Of property recognised by the Constitu.
ton, i, would have gone very far towards heal.
ing those difficulties that now disturb the har-
mony Of the party
1t is an insult to the intelligence Cf the
Northern Democracy and an impeachment Of
their attachment to the Constitution, to assert
that the right. Of property in slaves in the ter
rtorics is GUARANTEED by the Constitution, and
then to deny the right Of protection when need
ed. The Supreme Court having decided the
right to carry slaves into every territory, the
right of protection necessarily follows.
This right of protection implies no slave
Code--it does not imply Congressional inter-
ference" but it denies Territorial interference.
Congress- in the exercise Of its Constitutional
duty Of protection, is not guilty Of Inter
ference" It is the Territorial Legislature that,
by transccnlins its Constitutional sphere in as
sailing legal rights, commits the interference.
There can be no such doctrine Of "Congres.
sional interference and the arguments used
by Judge Black will demonstrate the PROPOSE
tion, if necessary.
We therefore welcome this Review Of Judge
Black as indicating on the part of the President
an intention to return to the ancient Platform
of the party--,o which in his letter accepting
the nomination lac promises to contine himself
"hrouaho", tisr"nr"s'.' 1t is well he did not
extend the promise 10 the Administration, but
we hope that during the remainder OF his term
he will irown down all who present new and
different issues before the people" and that his
efforts will be directed to harmonising the par
ty, 50 that when he rctires to Wheatand,
ruined. distracted and divided Democracy may
not upbraid HIM with its destruction, nor pre-
sage rupturcd and severed Union.

Tn, second resolution OF the Syracuse Con-
vention is about rs ambiguous and unintelligi-
bic as language well could make it The rcso-
luton reads as follows:
Resolved, Tint We approve and reiterntc the prin-
cpcs laid down in the Cincinnati platform Us the
true creed the Democrat" party a"d that wo dony
the right OF power except the Democracy OF the
nation. IN convention assembled, TO add to oraordge
this creed oi tho party. so FAR 70 good but the
follows Ti- creed, so far Us regards the question
oi slavery III tie Territories leaves such questions as
belong 10 the Courts the construction Of the judi
ciary, and Congress on that subject has no power;
the Democracy regarding the interference Of that
BODY to exclude the South from participating in the
Territoric, and the proposition ors Congressional
slavc code equally rcpugnant TO the spirit OF The
Constitution and uncGlled for by any consideration
of public cNpediency.
The Cincinnati platform 'leaves" neither
slavery nor any other question "to the Courts
neither the Courts nor the construction
Of the judiciary" i. referred to in that plat
form.
As Mr. Douglas is the only power who has
attempted to add To or abridgc this creed Of
the party" we presume this resolution is in
tended to intimate that Confidence Cassidy T.

Let us analizc The resolution continues:

Will the Journal OF Commerce point out
any material difference Of principle in the two
extracts, The first paragraph Of Judge Black
and the first two paragraphs Of Gov. Wise'S
are identical in principle. The second para
graph of Judge Black and the fourth OF Gov
Wise differ only in language, hut are colnci-
dent in principle and object.
The third paragraph of Judge Black and the
third of Gov. Wise arc substantially the same
in principle.
Judge Black has very ably replied to Judge
Douglas, and as the doctrines Of Gov. Wise
and Judge Douglas arc the converse Of each
other, il would be difficult to destroy the latter
without establishing the former.
II the JomnM IF Commerce desires to do
Justice; if it does not design Misrepresentation,
it will examine "The Sanford Letter with the
same feelings and the same motives with
which it pcruscd The Review Of Judge Black.
When it has done this, it will discover, first.
that Gov. Wise has no doctrines Of Congres-
sional interference" and. second, that Judge
Black does no, repudiatc Mr.. Wises doc
trine'
Judge Black confined his argument to re-
ply to Mr.. Douglas. The position OF Judge
Douglas, that a Territorial Legislature could
exclude slave property from a Territory was
the point against which Judge Black was wri'
ting-,o it he confined his op:nion-anl as lie
did not see proper to go beyond the direct
question in issue, he had no occasion to endorse
or rcpudiatc Gov. Wise.
We are Of the opinion that Judge Black, in
this case, consulted timid prudence in not
boldly following his arguments to their legiti'
mate conclusion.
His argument to prove the right of property
in slaves, and the right to enjoy such property
in the Territories, being conclusive OF these
questions, is also decisive Of the corollary that
such property when sssailed by territorial Ia"
