THn BALrIMons NomNArIoNs.-There is
deal Of irrsvefeuce in this world, and no class
Of humanity seems more prone to indulge in It,
than that charged with the task Of furnishing
hlimeut for the reading world. There seems to
be something 10 the exuding Of the murky auid
from an attenuated point Of steel, which pro-
vokes this state Of mind Our contemporaries
are making themselves quite merry with the
third party ticket just thrown out upon the
world One calls the party which nominated it
"lhe Old Gentlemen's party" whose minds like
most old people who have got into the "seOr
and yellow leaf" take no cognzauce of the pre-
sent but dwell with enthusiastic interest upon
the past, and act upon the conclusion, that to
make these latter days as halcyou as those they
we're identified with, we have only to appeal to
the same considerations and motives that we're
there influential aud potent Another thinks
that Julius Cesar would have made good can
didate--and might have come forward on the
comprehensive platform of universal history,
free from all taint Of modern affiliations, or the
obnoxious mushroom freshness, that attaches
kO u nbu VI tue dBS Nuu uoy Au"'"N' '"'""
the nomination a good one just the thing to be
embalmed 10 a band.box, with a few grains OF
musk With this last idea, we are not particu.
lary taken, for we are Of the opinion that no
musk is necessary The odor Of Mr. EvERETT S
senatorial life would in our opinion, be sutf-
ciently preservative in its quality to guard the
ticket against decay, or offensive effeteness.
His treatment Of the 1850 New England cler-
gyment, will spice the ticket sufficiently without
the pungent aid of musk Mr.. Everett will
need no such adveutitious concomitants to make
his name 4fame enduring and proof against. the
inroads of time. We are, however, a little at a
loss to know the reason our American cotempo-
raries have in boggng and hesitating about the
adoption Of, and adhesion to this ticket The
Buffalo Commercial and especially the New
York Express whose editor was one of the ac-
couchers Of the ticket it seems to us should be
last to turn the cold shoulder to the progeny
of their own begcttng to dishouor it, and leave
it without the swaddng protection needful for
the security of life, and vigor. We trust they
are not TO place their natural affection iu so
questionable a category, and this cyuosure OF
political beauty is not to be cast out fatherless
upon an uncharitable and unapPreciative
world. The very idea is shocking to entertain,
and must not be INDUCED in for a moment.

bearing the Japanese Embassy was in sight,
whereupon there was a wild rush to the
wharf. The Philadelphia approached,
while the Marine Band upon her deck play
cd "The Star Spanged Banner"
Mayor Berret went on board ana was ln-
troduced to the ambassadors, extending
them n welcome 10 the name OF the citizens
Of Washington, for which they ackuo~l'
edged their thanks
The Treaty box was first brought from
the boat, and then followed the Japanese
under the escort Of several naval officers,
They passed, rs they landed, between the
American and Japanese flags. Having
appronched TO where Captain Buchanan
was standing, he, in the presence of his
brother naval officers, welcomed them in
the name of the President of the United
States and the country, reciprocating the
kind feelings expressed by the japanese
Government when the Treaty was made by
the gallant Perry. The dignitaries bowed
their acknowledgements
While these ceremonies were progress.
ing, salute was fred from the Battery.
The cortege then formed. The intense
excitement continued throughout the entire
distance from the Navy Yard to the Quar-
teFs of the Japanese, which they reached
at about a quarter to 2 o'clock
So dense was the crowd of pedestrians
and carriages, that the corlege occupied
over an hour in going from the Capitol to
Wizards. The rsdeut population is more
excited aud enthusiastic than ever before,
aud the whole march through the city was
perfect ovation.
The reception rooms at Wizards were
densey thronged with the wives, sisters
aud daughters Of the dignitaries who were
assembled to receive these welcome visitors.
Over an hour was required in the exchange
OF cou. tesies before the weary travellers
were allowed to retire to their quarters.
The personnel of the party is striking.
They are in appearance effeminate, and
very like the better-ooking squaws cf our
Indian tribes. They do not look as though
they could fight, though they might run.
They are but Oriental foxes, among Anglo
Saxon wolves. Everybody was struck by
their apparent good nature and polite man
nerS.
The Embassy called upon GIN. CAss, at the
State Department on Wednesday, to deliver
letters to the Secretary from the Japanese Chief
Secretary of Foreign Affairs, written severally
in japanese, Dutch, and English. Miss Led
yard, and Gen. Cuss' grand daughter were pres
cnt, to whom they have introduced, but with
whom they declined to shake hands, as that act
would conflict with their instructions. They
expressed themselves as highly grutifed with
