measure avail themselves of the advan.
tages to be derived from books and in
tercourse with the profession in our
country, and 60 back to Japan prepared
to be the benefactors of their race. The
present aspect, however, is far from en-
couragirg.
The japanese send no "bonze" or
Buddhist priest to accompany the mis-
sion, nor do l see an idol or picture Of
the least symbol Of their religion among
them. Evidently the japanese attach
the smallest Importance and sacredness
to their religion, however expensive and
ornate their temples, since no less than
seven have been expurgated Of their
idols at Kanagawa, only within dis
lance of three or four miles, and that by
order of the government, aud given up
for the use of Europeans and Americans
among whom are three american mis-
sionary. families. Even the priests take
all very quietly, who have been expelled
with their idols.
| will close by adding. that the words
"No Kane" literally mean "Of the
Gods" as the Emperors once claimed a
descent from the Gods, and still claim it.
In the course of time the phrase came
to be secularlzed, losing ali its ancient
meaning, and being used as a title of
the highest honor, like "His Excellency"
"The Honorable" my Lord" &C., in
the court style of Europe, and the Leg.
islative and Congressional style of the
United States.

fools a. Pryor and Ashmore, and such blus-
terers az Wigtali, a. it incurred In 1856 from
the folly of Brooks, who came nearer to kill
ing his party than he did to killing Sumner.
The conservative sense Of the country is
aroused, and it is determined to put down all
extremists, and all ultra doctrines, by whatever
eide they may be put forth. The North has be.
gun its work on the Stewards, the Helpers, the
Sbermans, the Browns, and the fanatics at
large, and the South must and will follow. II
the Charleston Convention has not the sense to
see how the popular tide is setting, and to take
conservative position, and nominate con-
servative man, in accordance herewith, the
people must look to some other set Of political
elements than the confused ones about to meet
at Charleston, to present combination that
will enable the country to pluck the flower,
tatety, out of the nettle, danger.

know what really happened at Washington.
The Globe is rotten concern, the plant tool of
clique and it is to be hoped that there will
one day be House sufficiently honest to pre-
vent the mutilation of the public records and
reform the whole system of public printing.
AS matters stand now, member may Say the
most outrageous things in debate with impuni
", because he can, by altering the Globe
report, put himself right upon the official
record, and quote it against the indepen-
dent report, which gives precisely what was
said. Fairness in the official debates would 60
far towards preventing squabbles in the House,
by making the members more careful In their
speech. AS for the political prize-hghters Of
both parties, the men who are endeavoring to
gain upon the floor Of Congress the same sort
of notoriety which Messrs. Heenan and Sayers
are now enjoying, the time must come when
they will no longer disgrace the country by
holding Official positions. The House will not
. do its duty, the respectable members will not
assert their own dignity by expelling the po-
htical niger drivers and niger worshippers
in body; but the heart of the masses is sound
and the men who have disgraced the republic
in the eyes of the civilized world may rest
assured that the scorn and contempt Of all
good citizens will follow them into the obscu.
rity which will assmedly be their portion
We trust that the better sense of the majority
of the House will prevent any more outrageous
demonstrations from the Lovejoys Pryors
and Potters, and that the just indignation
which their conduct has excited in all parts of
the country will not be without an exemplary
effect upon any members who may have been
inadvertently drawn into their disgracefal
squabbles-
