SAN FRANCISCO, March 10.
The Japanese steam corvette Candinmar-
rah arrived here Saturday afternoon, the
18th, forty days from Jsddo. The vessel ID
OF 252 tons, 81 men, carries ten guns. and
was built about three years ago in Holland
for the Emperor of Japan, at q cost OF 47O,.
600. She 10 sent to this port by the Emperor
to announce that the Japanese embassy would
leave Kanagaway, by the u. s. steamer Pow
haitian, on the 18th Of February, via the
Sandwich Islands and San Francisco. Tbs
object of the Emperor in sending vessel to
announce the ambassadors is to manifest in
this manner his high estimation OF the Amer
loan government. No other armed vessels
belonging to that nation have ever been per-
mitted to leave its shores.
The Candinmarrah brings the officers and
. portion OF the Grew of the u. s. schooner
fennimore Cooper, recently wrecked, and at
the request OF the Emperor, Lieut.. John n.
Brooke, q. S. Navy, volunteered to assist the
Japanese officers in making the voyage over
the, to them, unt,ied ocean. The Chief Ad-
miral of the Imperial Japanese Navy, comes
by this vessel. She will remain here until
the Powhattan arrives, and then return ut
once to Jeddo to report the arrival Of the
ambassadors and suite thus far on their
journey. The people OF San Francisco are
delighted at this manifestation OF good feel.
ing on the part OF the Japanese government,
and will do everything possible to entertain
their visitors, hoping thereby to etimulate
the lucrative trade which has already com
menced between this country and the empire
of japan.

shacowing fear that our cause 10 to triumph

scheme is disclosed that causes some trepi-
dation among the more timid Of our friends.
OF this class, 10 one that has just come to
light here, Wis: to nominate Judge McLane
at Baltimore as the National Union candi
date, in the belief that We cannot and will
not take him up, and that il we do not, bis
influence will prove sufficient to open our
ranks wide enough to defeat US. And, in
the fear OF the practicability Of this scheme,
some Republicans are suggesting that We
must conclude to take him up, in that posi-
ton. But it is useless timidity and fu-
tile proposition. ln the fret place, though
MIR. MoLane is doubtless quite anxious to be
President, he 10 too sound Republican and
has too much common sense to allow himself
to be placed in such o position. lie would
simply ruin his political hopes and blast bis
political reputation, without doing what be
would desire-compel the Republicans to
take him up-or doing what his National
Union and Democratic friends would desire
distract and ruin the Republican party
by the maneuvre. 10 the second place, he
has not the beldness, the audacisy, to make
such push for the Presidency, though bis
last hope 10 connected with this capvass. II
10 only one OF the sensation suggestions cal
culated to starile the timid for the moment,
which will give place to some new ingenuity

Ing Republicans should stimulate and en-
courage them, inasmuch as they disclose the
fact that 10 the Judgment OF our enemies We
can only be defeated by the most desperate

rlod is not time in which TO lower on,

The reports from Connecticut last evening,
until late, we're all favorable to the Dem

it was aggrsvating to hear them repesting
their net gains with the insulting leer, s'guess
the Union 10 safe |" Ii exposed the shsl.
iowness OF their ssdisunion' cry, and they
took on airs at the success OF the humbug.
But felt safe, nevertheless. thought the
morning news from the large rural neigh

We had heard from the only fields where the
Democracy could hope to gain. knew that
in the larger towns the Democracy had been
busy naturalising Irishmen. But knew also
that in all the rest OF the State young Yam
KEGS were coming OF age in numbers more
than sufficient TO neutralixe the new recruits
OF strangely misguided Celts. And the
morning did break early, with better news,
and found the Democracy glum and gloomy.
A regiment Of political mountsbanks sent
out from this city to enIighten the nutmeg

turned in detected squads, under the strong
impression that the Yankees feel entirely
to Storm and regulate" their own
affairs Gin their own way" and that, with
an impudent independence, they are deter
mined to do 1t.
