If Government claims the service of those
who have most distinguished themselves in the
service Of the public, we have yet to learn if
there aremany men standing higher in that cate
CORY than Washington Irving. We have vet to
learn whether a man who forms correct tastes
and gives wholesome tendency to the morals
and opinions his countrymen, is not as much a
public benefactor as he who constructs bridge
or frames Bankrupt Act. Who would not
prefer to be the author of the Broken Heart
even, than the magniloquent oratoro an hundred
elections Who does not esteem it a higher
ambition TO open moral canal for the sensb-
ties, than to construct a turnpike to guide the
feet, of nation2
We address the objection that I" MI. Irving
is not party man. He is SO much the better
qualified to discharge his duties with impartial
ty. Is our trade or our policy with Spain Of a
party character2 No. The most that can be
said of them is, that our trade is American and
our policy Republican. The minister is an
American minister-not Wing minister NOR
Democratic minister. He represents the
American Government, and he is expected
when he leaves home, at least, to be friendly to
the Administration which gives him his COM
mission. Mr. Irving is so to which he super.
adds an ardent attachment to the Constitution
Of his country, and the enduring welfare OF those
whom he leaves under its protection What
more can be desired or expected
There is not school boy of the last twenty
years who will not hail this nomination, and
