"NIaIhy Friends.'s

We publish elsewhere to-day an article
signed Many Friends" addressed "To the
Democracy of Augusta and Highland =
We do this most cheerfully, not only in re-
spect to the intelligent Democrat who is its
author, but as simple act of justice to those
who think with him: Intending to ask moth
ing but fair play and an honorable contest,
it will afford us pleasure at any time to ex-
tend alike courtesy to those who wish to in
sert either appeals to the Democracy, or
communications more controversial in their
character. We will not at this time enter
into discussion of the propositions sugges-
ted as the reason for the address Of ''Many
Friends" but certainly there are many con-
vincing facts and powerful arguments to be
brought up in refutation Of some of the ideas
advanced in the remarks quoted from Mr.
Breckenridge and the rather singular allu-
sion of ''Many Friends to the endorsation
Of this ticket by .'t1centy-three out of the
thirty delegates sent by the Virginia De-
mocracy to Baltimore" is suggestive of
arcana, the unfolding of which will throw
much light upon the causes which have re-
suited in presenting the Democracy Of Vir-
ginia divided power in the present con-
test.
The object of the communication Of
MANY Friends is evidently so fair and
just, as indicated in the closing lines, that
we most heartily respond to it, for if there
are any whose decisions are as yet suspended,
the facts, we are sure, when presented, will
be proof convincing that Douglas and John
son, and not Breckenridge and Lane, are
the regular nominees Of the regularly con-
stituted Democratic National Convention

DEPARTURE OF TIE JAPANESE.-Th New
Workers were too much engaged with the
Great Eastern, Friday, to notice the depar-
ture of the japanese. They were quietly
bundled into revenue cutter and sent on
board the Niagara Some of them, the pa
rers say, '.ahed tears at leaving the friends
they had made" The following is the last
Japanese item we are likely to have for Il
long time:
The FIVE princes Of the Japanese Embas-
sy were present at wedding ceremony, in
full costume. on Wednesday last. The
princes had expressed wish to see three
things especially before leaving the city-a
funeral, a law suit and a wedding. The
funeral and court Of law were of easy ac-
complishment, but. a Wedding of the first
class, within the gorgeous light of Grace
Church. and managed by Brown, does not
come off every day, and the Embassy was
in danger Of going to sea without having
witnessed that interesting Spectacle. OF
course they were particularly gratifed with
an invitation to ceremony where the FASH
ion and intellect of our city were sure to be
represented and it was remarked generally
that on no other occasion since their sojouri
among Us Had the members of the Embassy
exhibited SO much interest, or appeared to
be so highly pleased. Fortunately for the
impression they will carry away of this =
one of our most impressive ceremonies the
young couple were remarkable for their fine
personal appearance. The bridal dress was
superb as cleaning silk, clouds of lace and
snowy flowers could make it; while group
Of pretty bridesmaids, in pink and blue, gave
brilliant effect to the scene, enhanced on
every hand by the gorgeous surroundings Of
the building.
The Niagara sailed Saturday at l ] P. M,
for Japan.
