Lincoln to he President
[u the House on the 23d last., Mr. Washburn®,
of 111., desired to obtain the door at an early pe
riod to engage tho attention of the Iloure rela
tive to a distinguished citizen of his State (Mr.
Lincoln) who has just beon nominated as*tho re
publican candidate for President and who would
bo elected. 110 intended particularly to view
his record in Congress ar.d correct tho gross ral#-
repre; ontations already made
Row the Japanese hit Dun a
Tkt Japanese Ambassadors, who arc now cre
ating such n Etir in our National Capitol, have
no use for chairs, sofas, or cushions. They have
a way peouliario themselves of taking scut', and
can rest their tired limbs ns well without chairs
as with them.
It i j tho habit of the Japanese, when he wants
to seat himself, to drop on his knees, cross his
feet and turn up his heels, which latter he con
verts into a chair; tho toe., instep, and calves of
tho legs being thus brought into close contact.—
Those who have beeu accustomed to sit on chairs
of another sort all their life,would find itrery dif
ficult to conform to a fashion requiring such an
amount of elasticity ar.d suppleness of limb: but
a Japanese is afflicted in a manner just tho reverse.
He prefers resting his weary body on hi3 own
pedal foundation to either horsehair, cno or
damask.
Japanese Ambassador*- Quite a stir
Washington correspondents do nothing now
but write of the visit of the Japanoso Ambassa
dors to tho capittd. Wherever they go, they arc
stared at and observed and followed by a crowd.
They visit the White House, and there i< a per
fect rush in that direction ; they leave the gal
leries of the Sena to and House, and business is
almost suspended until tho excitcmont of looking
and peeping and moving is over. A Washington
letter writer says.
The Japanese visited the Senate to-day, the
23d inst., accompanied by tho Naval Commission.
Tho Princes and six of their officers were receiv
ed on tho fioor, and furuiaued with scats iu the
southwest corner of the chamber. They were
soon surrounded by a number of the Senators.—
Mr. Mason was presented, and his position as
Chairman of the Committee on I'oreigu Relations
explained to tho Japanese, who who were fur
nished with printed plans of tho Senate chamber
and Capitol. They viewed with admiration the
splendid ceiling and other parte of the chamber,
and exhibited an intense interest as to tho mode
of conducting tho legislative proceedings.
Borne of tho inferior Japanese were in the gal
leries, and others in the rotunda of tho Capitol.
Subsequently they were coudnoted by the Con
gressional Committee to .'•eats in tho House gal
lery, set apart f.r the diplomatic corps.
Mr. Portxuan, for the committee, explained to
them, through the Jopancso interpreter, tho na
ture of the Legislative proceedings, the yeas and
nays being called a! the time they entered the
hall.
The gallerias were crowded with spectators, at
least one half of which were ladies.
Tho Ambassadors were afterward# received by
the Speaker in his room, and then furnished with
coats on the fioor of the House, iu company wit h
tbo Naval Commission and Congressional Com
mittee. Tho inferiors retained theirplaoos in tho
diplomatic gallery. The Japanese remained but
a lew tninute.H.
The Ambassadors parsed out by the main aisle,
Messrs. Sherman, John Cochrane and Brunch
each having an Ambassador iu his immediate
ebargv. Others of tho Committee—Messrs. Mar
ri.; or Pennsylvania, ar.d Davis of Mervlaud, to
gether with the Naval Commission, followed In
the rear.
The Japanese in tho gailcrk j simultaneously
retired.
There was a hurried movement in tho galleries
which wore iu a few minutes uenrly deserted, tho
spectator# rushing out to get a view of tbo Japan*

.No Right to Sent#.
The Albany Patriot takes the ground that tho
Southern receding States havo no right to be rep
reaented in Baltimore. Tbo argument of the
Patriot would havo some force, in tbo obocne* of
any action by tho Democracy of the several sece
ding State:), but vacancies can be supplied or the
same delegates instructed to return by tho voice
of the party. Few can doubt tho power of a Dem
ocratic convention, properly called, to send dele
gate# to Baltimore. We give the Patriot’s views:
“Now with all due respect to the opinion* of
those who may differ with us, yet we hold that
tbo Southern (wediog States have no right to be
represented in tho Baltimore convention, and wo
give as our judgment the following reasons :
First. By proper authority the national con
vention wes called to meet in Charleston, to nom
inate candidate# for President and Vico Presi
dent of tbo United States. They met—they or
ganized—and a national committee was appointed
on platforms. That committee retired to fulfill
their appointment, but cannot agree in sentiment;
they there present an j represent two platforms—
the one a majority constitutional, tho other a mi
nority northern platform, violative of the Consti
tution. Tho minority northern platform is pass
ed, whereupon the representatives of a portion of
tbo Southern Statos, having an oyo to their con
stitutional right?, retired from tho convention.
Second. The Charleston convention then ad
journ, (not without a day, but to Baltimore,) and
in this they take with them their organization,
their resolutions, and their platform. Tho day
appointed to meet arrives, the convention is call
ed to order by Air. Cushing, their presiding^offi
cer, and th® fifty eighth ballot commences. Thus,
they are at Baltimore what they were at Charles
ton— tho same organised body. Tho Southern
seceding State# wore represented in Charleston,
which is now (by change of namo only,) the Bal
timbre convention. They therefore cannot bo
properly represented in one and the same conven
tion, inasmuch as they have repudiated their plat*
form, and retired from that body. Therefore, wo
assert that tho seceding States eaDHot be legally
represented in tbe present Charleston Baltimore
convention, unless their delegates will go for
ward, recall what they have done, nnd meekly
and devoutly beg admission into that body ”

The Richmond content lun
The Charleston Mercury of the 17th contains
n letter from the Hon. R. J 5. Rhett, urging the
policy of holding the Richmond Convention, from ,
which we make the ff.llowing extrert The avow J
cd intention is, not to cooperate with but to coun
teract the policy of the Democratic party
“Butyou say: ‘Have wc not heretofore oj
posed national party convention;), and is not the
Richmond convention national party conven
tion? I answer, no! A national party conven
tion is the convention of a party which is bawl
on national principle t, that is, principle!common
to all portion of the United State*, The Rich
mond convention is not such a convention. Its
declared principles are not national, for not a
single northern State has dared to avow them.
It is a sectional convention, called by one section
of the Union, to support right* and Internets bo
longing to one section of the Union, and acknowl
edged but by one section of the Union. It arises
out of the debrii of tho one great national party
in the Union—the Democratic party—and is in
tended to counteract its poliey.”

FIRST SESSION.
.Vr. W'. Ihou’ 1 Speech on thr African ,S7it>< Trade.
HR.SATf.
-Mr. Hammond (item.) of U. C.. reterred to Mr.
Wilson’s speech, and his reflections on the South
ern Judiciary, as published in tho Ofebo, and do
sired to know whether any such speech had been
delivered.
Mr. Wilson, (rep.) of Mars., said he had pro
pared his speech with considerable care, but bad
not read it all to the Senate, (loaning to Save
time, nnd ns a disposition seemed to provail to
attend to other matters, lie thought by so do
ing he conferred a service on tho Senate, partic
ularly us his speech contained no allusion to tho
Senate. He (Mr. Wilson) spoke for fifteen min
utes, ami then stopped to save the time of the
Semite.
Mr. Hammond said that the Senator’s speech
contained reflections upon tho judiciary of his
State, which,if it bad been delivered on tho floor,
would have been instantly repelled. Ho protes
ted against tho practice of publishing speeches
which worn not delivered. Iu this cate it was
made to appear that the Senators from Soutli'Car
olina remained rilont in their seats when the higli
judicial qffiMrj of their State bad boon assailed.
Jle (Mr. Hammond,) pronounced the charges
contained iu bis (Mr. Wilson’#) speech unjust,
nnd untrue. Mr. Hammond then proceeded to i
viudicatc tho purity of the South Carolina Judi
ciary, nnd hoped that a motion would bo made j
by some older Senator that, would put a stop to
this perpetration of fraud nnd forgery.
Mr. Witeon of Mass., rejoined lie hud put !
nothing in hi# speech ho was not willing to avow, i
It had been the frequent practice of Senators to
put iu tbeir speeches matter additional to that
spoken on the floor. Ho reiterated the statement
that a judge in Charleston bad grossly perver
ted die law to shield persons guilty ol’ violating ‘
tho law against tho slave trade, ilo had yielded)
to the popular sentiment of South Carolina, i
which favored the revival of the slave trade.
Mr. Haimnoud replied that the great mass oft
the people of South Carolina did not favor the i
slave trade, and concluded by saying that the j
Senator from Massachusetts and other-f 4 on that j
ride of the chamber were chartered libertine.-.

ing. The subject was laid over.
TM* POLITIC AI. HEn.ITK CONTI.M'HII.
Mr. Davis’ Territorial resolutions came up.
Mr. Wigfall, (dcm.) of Texas, defended theac
tion of the Southern delegates at Charleston,and
premium cd Mr, Douglas to bo politically dead,
lie denied that Mr. Buchanan’? letter of accep
tance justified the interpretation put upon it. by
the advocates of squatter sovereignty. Ho said
it was not right to force a distasteful man on Iho
South. Mr. Douglas had nt a baker’s dozen of
supporters South. He would not get the voto of 1
single .Southern State, except in preference ton
black republican. Some six or eight States would
ratlicr have a black republican than Mr. Douglas,
110 did tot want a slave code. Ho claimed tho
whole question was settled in tho Dred Scott
case, if rnieed if was question at all.
ilo denied that tho democratic party ever on.
doued the compromise measures of ISSO. Mr. !
Douglu; was not. the choleo of the party, nor
of his own friends. If Mr. Dougins wishe : bar
mony let him withdraw. The South would tako j
most any other man. Jf a republican wore dec- J
ted ho would never bo (be President of thirty- |
three States.
Mr. Doolittle (rep.! ol Wie., aid if a vote
could be taken lie would ?av nothing, but if the
discussion was to go on, he should fuel it his du
ty to nay someth lug. Tho Benat<r from Texas
had said that Iho Senator front illingia was polit
ically dead. If so, this was llto 1. ingest funeral

On motion of Mr. Hall, the resolutions were

Mr. Hell on Abolition Petition* again.
Wo are corrected by our eotemyorary of the
Enquirer, of tbo mistake we inadvertantly made
in a recent irsuo of the Times, that Hon. John
Bell voted iu Congress for the reception of Ab>>-
lition petitions. It would have comported more
with the dignity nmloourtcay of that journal hud
it udoptod a style of remonstrance ut tho error of
the Timea quite distant from that of the charge
of party trickery or wilful ingenuity. Upon u
cursory reading of the journals, like many otherß
who were misled, wo found tho name of John
Bell in tho negative on a vote to lay Abolition pe
titions on tho table. Without analyzing (he votes
taken upon dificreut phases of the question,
throughout many days of discussion, it appeared
conclusive, that Mr. 8011, in an accordance with
his votes wi s h the Republicans in tho Senate,
against the repeal of tho Missouri Compromise,
Lecompton Constitution, A c., bud also proved hi
consistency by fuvoring'tbo reception of Aboli
tion petitions. We oheertully put him right, as
his political siua nguinst the South arc already ns
“red as soar let.”
But tho Euquiror, in it# hot zonl for tbo pro
motion of Mr. Bell nnd challenging an inspection
of hi record, goes further than the loots warrant,
as to Ids opposition to Abolition petitions. With
a boastful air it says:
“ lie (Mr. Bell) voted against such motions to
lay on the table, because lie demanded a lIK-UCi
tion 0/ the jictMum,” and was sustained by such
ardent Southern men as Hammond, Pickens and
Wise. In the absence of any explanation of tho
vote of Mr. Bell in the debates from his own lips,
we assume the statement of the Enquirer to bo
correct for argument sake. How docs tho record
bear it out?
On page Iflflfl, of tho Argister of Congressional
debates, we find that there were three motion# be
fore th® House upon a memorial to aboli.di slave
ry in th® District of Columbia : one to commit,
unothcr t<> lay on tho table, and :i third to reject.
If is admitted that to arrive at the motion to re
fit, th® two former motions wore first to* l.c di. -
pitied of, by being voted down. Her® w® find
Mr. Bell’s namo with Messrs. Wire, Hammond
aud others, in tho negative upon n vote to lay on
the table, which was carried over their heads. So
fur, so good. Upon the announcement, of the
above vote, Mr. Button, of Vn., moved t. recon
sider the voto by which u petition for the Aboli
tion of slavery in tho District had boon referred
to n committee by the House n few day# prevG
ou#.
Tho fdtjoct of tho* motion was. m -lated l>\ lUo
mover, to bring up the question •■that there
would be no dodging, that it might be met
“fairly and directly,” that n vote, might bo taken
upon its rejection. Mr. Owens moved to lay tbo
petition,nnd the motion of Mr. Button toenmmit,
“on the table.” This was n “parliamentary mn
nmuvro” to avoid a direct vote. It was so con. id
ered, and Mr. Wise asked the question, “had not
th® motion to reject precedence to the motion to
lay on the table ‘ Tho Chnir decided that no mo
tion to reject wa# then before tho House. Upon
tho call of the aye# anti nnes to lay the petition
on the table, wo find the nniuo of Mr. Bell record
ed in th® affirmative, and that of Me##rs. Patton,
Hammond, Pickens, Wire and others, iu Iho neg
ative. Does this look iiko “ho (Mr. 15**11) and
Hammond, Pickncy, Pickens and Wise, were for
mooting the queotion fairly and Squarely ?”
That John Bell was for “fighting all attempts
at evasionthat he wna against “dodging tho
qaestion;” that ho was standing hand tohnud with
such “arilcnt Southern men u# Hatnmond, Pick
ens, \Yiso” and others, und “domandod a rejec
tion of the petiti e*?” Bo says tho Enquirer. -
If ho, ho ought o have voted with bis uliic.*,
Messrs. Wise, Bam* * nd aud Pickens! He ought
to havo opposed luv motion to lay on Iho table !
Jle ought to have fought this attempt nt < vnid< n
and recorded his vote in tho negative, that tho
question of rejection might be fairly touted. Tho
truth ie, Mr. Bell voted one day ay air -f laying
th® ptHi< ii- oi: tho table and wo# ••.- u.-tMu -d liy
Hamm. .11 Wine and Pickens,” but voted an .flier
day for laying on tho table und wa-* not -.irtain
®d by thoHe ardent Bouthorn men.
If ho “demanded a rejection of tin potiii r
at one time, bo Wii# opposed to It ut another.
If bo deserved the encomium# of the Enquirer iu
the one imtauue, he deserved its censure in'the
other, lie was cither right or he whs wrong,
and the record ahown that he r got th*: benefit of
all hi# doubts, for ho was ou both sides i>f the
question in u very abort space of time.
Bo much for the boasted patriotism of John
8011, who is repudiated by his own party in Ala
bantu, whose nomination for tho Presidency has
nut been ratified by u single county in Georgia,
and w hoso record in Congress is not compliment
ary to a Southeru man and a true patriot.

Evidently, thuttho majority of tho Convention,
composed of Northern delegates, would force the
nomination of JuagoDmvglas, who has given an
interpretation to that pTim.wm to which tho
Southern Democracy would not, and, as their
delegates claimed, could not agree, audio bl® to
defeat the Uppoidtion in tlunr own States, and
give their e lectoral votes In the Democracy. They
said, you of tho North have tho platform. Ts you
will put a man upon it that lias given an intor
protafi. ii hoßtilo to tho South, then we cannot
sustain ourselves at home, if we would; aud tho
more ardent of the Southern men sifid, wo would
uot if wo could. That them was this lbnr of his
nomination was made certain by the action of
Tonne ce, Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina
and Kentucky, who remained in the Convention
but by their delegates insisted that if a resolution
was not passed requiring two-third# of (ho whole
Electoral College to make a nomination, they,
too, would withdraw 1 rum tho Convention, and
thereby Hu; Convention must have been dissolv
ud, as California aud Oregon would have gone
with them, leaving only u minority of tho State
in number, with a loss of every Democratic State-.
The par sago of this resolution made the nomina
tion of Judge Dougins simply itupossible, and al
though New York cast her thirty-five votes stira
dily for him afterwards, yot #ho Voted for the
rule which would make her s -to tor Douglas unc
les?, as it wn-ievidonf to all that ntoro than . ic
third of tho Convention were unalterably oppos
ed to hi* nomination. I believe there wuro a
majority so opposed t*> him iu fact Grunt that 1
lie received upon one ballot a bare majority of
tho whole vote. Bui how was that majority made
up? Simply by the unit rule, which stifled tho
minorities in tho Northern States under hist rue
tfons. In New York there were fifteen voles op
nosed to Judge Douglas from lir.-t to last, yot her
thirty-five votes were cast fur him on every bal
lot. In Ohio six votes, iu Indiana five voths, in
Minnesota two votes opposed to hiim yot by ilia;
rule eu.tt for him, ho that tit® majority wa.- more
apparent than real. Tht Southern States goner
ally, acting without direct instructions, by a cun
ningly devised resolution of iho Committee on Ur
gnnuation, were for tho most port voting sopur
utcly, #0 that all of Judge Douglas's strength, in
the Southern delegation#, substantially appeared.
