u and China.

We src NOT surprised at the concern felt
throughout the country in relation TO the Ia
vorable issue Of the japanese Embassy. Tic
great distance at which their country lies from
our own, their odd manners, and The very as
tonishi,s fact that an Oriental people, beyond
the range Of the ordinary e~xeitants 10 mental
activity, should be actually awakened to IN in
telligent curiosity in reference 10 orr country
and her peculiar institutions--arc, all Of them,
facts which must enlist in the present cnibas-
say much more Of interest than is usually
cherished for embassies from foreign Govern
ments. We are the peculiarly favored nation,
and Japan promises (f her beginning will en-
able us to augur for the liiturc) to ASSUME in.
innate and close commercial relations with our
people. Why is this: Why should America
be placed on q better footing than England
or any other grea, commercial power: We
shall not attempt 10 answer these questions
farther than to say, that by what means soavcr
produced, the golden moment should not he
allowed to escape lis without binding this pco-
pie to lis by hooks Of steel. Ordinary diplo-
macy will be utterly at faul; in dealing with
such a people. Let there be Il thorough and
perfect sincerity-a liberal and lnagnanimous
policy adopted in the measures projected in re-
lation to orr dealings with them. Let the en-
basSy sec that wc are conlrivins advantages 10
their people Of greater Importance, III fact. to
theta than to us; and they will return to their
native land to foster and encourage the kindly
relations already produced between the two
countries.
This topic naturally suggests the condition
Of our relations with China rconic whose
institutions have been So wildly svt forth in
the lectures OF the Rev. Mr.. Cabauiss. the re-
turned missionary. In point Of commercial
Importance, China and Japan can scarcely he

the country of which We expected tic least has
so fur o%utstripped the other. Of whom we had
q right to expect so much more in the race for
friendship with our own. In fact, the Chinese
have been slow.footed not to discover that the
'outSidc barbarians'' Of The United States were
altogether unlike barbarians elsewhere. We
anxiously desire that's quicker pace will be Civ

and other civilizing influences brought to bear
