Japan) dates to June 26th. Trade was in 8
flOurishing condition, but the American Of
6cials and merchants had been involved in a
quarrel The treaty with Japan calls for a
port being opened at Kanagawa; but the
first American merchants, who settled at that
point found the opposite shore Of Yokaha-
ma more agreeable, as did also the English
traders. The British Minister, however, or
dered the merchants Of his nation to cross
over to Kanagawa, as the treaty demanded,
and Mr. Harris, the American Minister. fol-
lowed his example. The American Consul,
on the other hand, maintained that the mer-
chants were essentially observing the pro
visions Of the compact and has been endeav-
oring to persuade the Minister and the native
authorities that Yokohama is a precinct OF
Kanawaga.
The Americans are said to be much more
popular than the British with the japanese
as they are less dictatorial. The japanese
are very sensitive to anything like assump-
ton Of authority, but are easily persuaded
into granting any favor. Since the departure
Of the Embassy it has been a matter Of daily
occurrence to hear people asking the captains
Of ships to take them to America. The Mis-
sionaries were proceeding quietly with their
benevolent work l.t-

There is room for one more in the omnibus
for the White House, and the distracted DEM
ocrats are about to bring another candidate
for Presidential honors into the field, no less
4 celebrity than Chief Justice Taney of the
Supreme Court It is stated that meeting
Of Influential Democrats has been called at
LeOnardtOwn, Maryland, for the Ist of Sep
tember, for the purpose of putting Roger B.
fancy, of Nd, and Samuel Nelson, of N. Y,
formally before the country as the Democratic
candidates for the Presidency aud Vice Pres
idency. The call refers to the probability of
the election Of Lincoln, in the present divid-
ed condition Of the Democratic party, and
thinks the object of all National Democrats
should be ITO bring about this union of our
party, which, under present circumstances,
seems to be hopelessly divided. Douglas and
johnson on the one side, and Breckenridge
and Lane on the other, must agree to retire,
or they must be retired from the contest, and
the party must hail other men by acclama-
ton as their candidates for the Presidency
and Vice Presidency"

All accounts concur IN the giving up Of
Pennsylvania to Honest Old Abe. The De
mocracy of both wings act tired, and the
Republicans are the only wide-awakes to be
found in the Keystone. Bell is cracked, and
has no ring of victory In some sections the
entire people are Rail splitters, as witness
the following report from the Elmira Adver-
tiser: aa.l -
ain the borough of Knoxville, TiOga CO.,
Pa, there are sixty-five voters. Sixty-four
Of them are Lincoln men, and the lone Dem
ocratic is a Breckenridge man. Douglas is
" skunked' in that borough. In the borough
of Elkland, same county, there are eighty
six voters. Eighty-one of that number are
for Lincoln, and the other five are split be-
tween Breckenridge and Douglas It is
feared that old Tioga will give almost aunan-
imOus vote for "Honest Old Abe.n The
Democrats are so scarce the rail splitters have
to maui each other to get up an excitement"

There is an eccentric vegetarian in Boston
named Martin, who has been seeking fame by
pulling small two-0aFed slSif round to New.
York, making the trip of some 400 miles BY
the ocean route in about 80 hours rowing,
though he was a week or so on the route, Ow-
inc to bad weather. His provision outfit was
four quarts Of whortle-berries and six apples,
and he bought only berries, apples and mel
ons at the various landings during the trip.
He spent his nights on the beach wrapped in
an oil-skin coat, and was in capital spirits
and condition when be landed IN New York.
His boat is common but neat lap-sreakod
wherry, built of white cedar and white oak
timbers, copper fastened. She is sharp at
both ends q feet long, feet 4 inches wide
and inches deep. There are out-riggers for
the oars feet wide. Air-tghtcompartments
at each end are provided, capable Of sustain
ing the boat and one man when the boat is
full of water. The coekle-shen craft was
thrown high and dry upon the beach once,
and capsized and thrown ashore by the surt
on another occasion. ...
His New York vegetarian friends to the
number Of sixty gave Mr., Martin reception
feast of cooked vegetables and nothing else.
The dinner being disposed Of the wherry-
man was called out He said:
He had been asked a great many times, and

In the two hours speech of Mr.. Douglas at

ehiyalry good set back oa diguhiOn, but be
uhburthensa his soul Op the subject Of Che
Breckenridge movement )of .the Democracy.
we clip few pithy and pointed paragraphs
from the N. Y. Herald's report Of the speech,
in which the Little Giant more than half
comedies the election Of Lincoln by the poPu-'
ular vote;
Mr. nouglas-Remembe that Mr. Breck-
enridpe was nominated on the theory that the
election Of Lincoln was preferable TO that OF
Douglas. Now, no man doubts thai III Breck-
enridge's friends bad not seeded at Baih-

action Of the Convention, would have IN
this contest beaten Lincoln by the popular
Vote.

Mn. DouaLA As-Less than one-third Of the
Convention seeded from the two-thirds on
the ground that Southern honor and Southern
rights were not safe in my hands, and that
hence Il wss necessary 10 divide the party IN
every State Of the Union 50 that Lincoln
might have a chance Of running IN between
the Democratic forces Of the Democratic par
~ and get elected by a minority vote.
A VOICE-''Thats So.
Ma. DousLAs-The only ostensible and
true object sought in making Breckenridge
ticket in the Northern States was to divide
the Democratic party 50 as 70 give Lincoln
every one Of those States, so that | tell you II
Lincoln be elected President, it viii be the Sc
oessionists whom you win have to blame for
it.
A VoIcE--uThAt's 50" ...r ......
/ Mr.. DoUeLAs-Lincoln has no hope OF be-
ing elected except through the efforts OF the
sscessionists, who have divided the DemoCra-
tic party-supposing that Breckenridge could
carry every Southern State--though il now
seems he Is not going to carry a single one
by the people. Still, by dividing the North,
he gives every one Of the States to Lincoln,
thus allowing him to be elected by the popu-
/ lar vote. Why, what was the true aspect Of
tbe contest before the secessiOn2 Lincoln had
no show whatever for more than two states
an the Breckinridge division took place, and
4 I would have beaten him in every State but
Vermont and Massachusetts,. AS 1t IS, 1
think will beat him in almost all OF them
j yet. '''

One Of the most extraordinary men OF the
age is John B. Cough, the Temperance Lee
turer. He has just returned to this country
again, after having spent three years in con-
stahtlabor through Great Britain, and at
tanning great popularity in England. Scot
land, Ireland and Wales While abroad he
became involved in libel suit which turned
to his own advantage, as he gained heavy
damages. 1..aq s...r a @ BIZ.
The career of Mr.. Cough is remarkable
one. He came from England to this country
when boy, and became victim Of intem-
perance. The kindness of a friend saved
him, and he signed the pledge. BE com
menced talking on Temperance, gradu-
ally rose to emininenoe, and became
the BOanerges of the good ;cause in this
country. His fame crossed the ocean,
and Mr.. Cough was invited to
lecture six weeks before the National Tenn
persnce League of Great Britain, and went
there, but remained two years. He then re-
visited America, and subsequently, returned
to England, where he has spent one year in
Scotland and Ireland and two in England
During this stay abroad he has delivered
three hundred and ninety addresses to an ag-
eregate of at least half a million hearers,
/ nearly twelve thousand of whom are said to
have signed the temperance pledge. A few
days before he left London for this country
be delivered an address at Exeter Hall-his
ninety-fith in that place-after which be
was presented with an address of thanks and
congratulations signed by over three hum
dred Of the principal orators and philanthrO-
pists Of England Neither the temperance
system nor the Maine law are generally pop
ular in England. and London paper truly
observes that Hthe secret of Mr.. Coughs all
but universal success on a subject in which a
comparatively small section of the public
take special interest is at least remarkable,
and to describe it in a sentence, it is the mer-
| it of shedding the radiance Of genius on diff
fculties over which other temperance orators

The Hartford Courant states that the cleo

Convention in Connecticut have generally
gone in favor Of Douglas The primary
meetings have not been very harmonious,
and in some places what is called fusion

vailed. Itsays ''the ofice-hOlders have fought
well but wherever a ballot has been taken,
the Douglas men have been successful. They
win be cheated out of the ticket, however,
