Chapter XXXVI: Works That Follow (2)

These are, “Africa, 1843,” Perry’s rescue of the man condemned
to undergo the sassy ordeal, (p. 173); “Mexico, 1846,”
transportation of the heavy ship’s guns through the sand and
chapparal to the Naval Battery; “Treaty with Japan, 1854,” two
scenes, representing the reception of the President’s letter at
Kurihama (p. 359), and the negotiation of the treaty at Yokohama
(p. 366). On the front of the plinth of the pedestal is cut an
American ensign; on the north and south sides an anchor, and in
the rear, “Erected in 1868, by August and Caroline S. Belmont.”
The bronzes were cast at the Wood Brothers’ foundry in
Philadelphia. Pa. The statue was unveiled October 2d, 1868, when
the city of Newport was given up to public holiday in honor of
the event. The military display consisted of marines, sailors,
and apprentices from the U. S. S. _Saratoga_ and cutter
_Crawford_, under command of Captain, now Rear-Admiral, J. H.
Upshur; and four militia companies. One thousand children from
the public schools were ranged within the hollow square formed
by the military, and sang chorals. Besides seven or eight
thousand spectators, there were officers of the army and navy,
clergy and the children and grand-children of Commodore M. C.
Perry. After prayer by Rev. J. P. White, unveiling of the statue
by Mrs. Belmont, salutes from guns in the park and on shipboard,
music, a speech of presentation by Mr. Belmont, and responses by
Mayor Atkinson, the orator of the day, the Rev. Francis Hamilton
Vinton, D. D. delivered the oration and eulogy. The exercises
were closed by a speech from Captain J. H. Upshur, U. S. N., who
drew a glowing picture of M. C. Perry’s action at Vera Cruz, and
of his success in Japan. See the _Newport Mercury_ of October
3d, 1868, and the published oration of Dr. Vinton “The statue”
says Pay Director J. Geo. Harris, U. S. N., in a letter to the
writer May 19, 1887, “is in all respects a likeness.” “I was
impressed with its remarkable fidelity in stature, pose and
bearing, as in full dress he met the Japanese commissioners on
the shore at Yokohama.”

Medals.

The gold medal struck in Boston had on its face the head of
“Commodore M. C. Perry,” and on the reverse the following legend
with a circle of laurel and oak leaves: “Presented to Com. M. C.
Perry, Special Minister from the United States of America, By
Merchants of Boston, In token of their appreciation of his
services in negotiating the treaty with Japan signed at
Yoku-hama, March 31, and with Lew Chew at Napa, July 11, 1854.”
On the band at the base of the wreath is the word _Mississippi_,
and over it the figures of two Japanese junks, between the
sterns of American ships. Copies of this medal in silver and
bronze were received by subscribers to the gold original. The
die was cut by F. N. Mitchell.
