1.-THE IRREPRESsIBLE CONFLICT +"
CANDIDATE

When Seward announced his doctrine that
created so much commotion, Judge Douglas pro-
claimed that Judge Lincoln, of Illinois, was the
first propounder, and that Seward had taken 1t
cond-handed from him. We copy the following
from the Augusta Constitutionalist, of Saturday:
Hon. Abraham Lincoln, the Black Republican
nominee for President, made speech in Spring
field, ILL.,, June Is, 1858, in which he said:
ain my opinion, it the slavery agitation] will
not cease until crisis shall have been reached and
passed. "A house divided against itself cannot
stand l believe this government cannot endure,
permanently, half slave and half free. [ do not
expect the house to fall, but / do expect it will
cease to be divided. 1t will become all one thing,
or all the other Either the opponents of slavery
will arrest the further spread of it. and place it
where the public mind shall rest in the belief that
it is in the course of ultimate extinction, or its
advocates will push forward till it shall become
alike lawful in all the S:ates-old as we'll new,
North as we'll as South"
Senator Douglas, in commenting upon this
speech, says:
"Mr Lincoln advocates boldly and clearly war
of sections, war of North against the South, OF
the free States against the slave States-a war OF
extermination-tO be continued relentlessly, until
the one or the other shall be subdued and all the
States shall either become free or become slave.
"Now, nv friends" continues Mr. Douglas, 81
must say to you frankly, that take bold unquall-
fed issue with him upon that principle
Instead of the "irrepressiblc conflict Seward,
the Black Republicans have managed to put on
the track the originator of the doctrine of sir
repressibe conflict" Abe Lincoln, of Illinois.

JAPANESE PHYSICIANS

A highly interesting interview took place be-
tween the three physicians of the japanese En-
bassy and four scientific gentlemen Of Washington
city-Dr. Evans, Prot. Simpson, and Drs. Holston
and Lincoln. The interview lasted two hours, and
many valuable facts were elected. 1t appears
from what was stated by the japanese physicians
that medical education in Japan commences with
medical reading and clinical lectures and obserya-
ton in public hospitals. Unlike what prevails
among the western nations anatomy not the basis
Of japanese medicine; yet the study of anatomy
has within the last three years been undertaken in
the Empire. Obstetrical science is ordinarily in
the hands of female practitioners, but in difficult
cases male assistance is called In. The same poll
cy prevails in the general treatment of female
diseases, and by consequence female physicians are
numerous; but it appears that their branch of the
science is in less advanced state than most of the
other branches. In surgery the japanese do not
practice amputatoDs. Their materia medca ap-
pears to be confined almost entirely to vegetables,
and in particular to various barks, which they
exhibit decoctions. They have, however, be-
come acquainted with calome and quinine, and
occasionally employ them both. The idea that
has become current among the western nations
that japanese medicines are founded on charms,
starry influences and superstitoDs of various kinds
is not we'll founded. Such notions are no doubt
common enough among the ignorant and vulgar,
as in other countries, but with persons of educa-
ton aud thought they look for remedies to the
operation OF the ordinary powers of Nature
On the whole, the interview left upon the minds
of the American physicians much more favora-
BILE estimate of Japanese medicine than they had
previously entertained, and than that which is
commonly held among enlightened European and
American people. In Japan, as here and every
where, medicine is in state of progress, and it
cannot be doubted it will continue to advance
there with safe and rapid strides
The japanese doctors promised to exhibit to the
American doctors the mysterious POWDER which
when rubbed on the body of corpse, has the eff
feet of making the limbs as supple and timber as
in life.

INCREASE OF IRISH IMMIGRATIoN-An im-
mense increase has lately taken place in the m-
migration to this country from Ireland 1t ap-
pears, by the report of the Commissioners, that
during the last week there arrived at the port of
New York, by the Galway and other lines, 5,277
Irish emigrants. Should this continue, it is be-
iieved we shall have as large accessons to our
population from that source as during the Irish
famine of 1S47-'4S 1t is said that the letters of
DIR. CahiH, the eminent Irish clergyman, who is
now visiting the United States, have exerted con-
siderable influence in increasing the Irish emf
grafton to this country. Whilst the Northern aud
Western States derive the greatest benefits from
foreign immigration, it is some consolation to know
that the Irish immigrants are universally sound
on the slavery question, and are never found ar
rayed under the banners of section or fanstioism
