Text Appearing Before Image:

Some may think they misinterpret as to the extentof what they did concede ; but this, as Commander Rodgers veiy truly said, is a pointwhich can be settled only by the two governments. One thing seems very certain from therecords of the negotiation, that both Commodore Perry and the Japanese commissionerssupposed that the treaty they were making was but a beginning of friendly relations,and a partial agreement for trade ; but neither party could, have believed they were fram-ing a general commercial treaty, inasmuch as the Japanese had, in the beginning,expressly declined to enter into such a compact. It is imderstood, though we know notthat the fact has been officially promulgated, that the interpretation of the treaty by ourgovernment agrees with that of the Japanese.
