THE MISSION TO CHINA.

Il is a source of unalloycd qualification to us,
as it must be to the commercial men throughout
III. country and The friends of the Hon. CALEB
CUSHING, that the President has so promptly ap-
pointed that distinguished gentleman TO the
China Mission, after learning that MIR. EVERETT
our Minister to England, to VIII m il was first
rendered. declined accepting it.
Eminently as Mr. EVERETT was fitted for the
new and important mission to the Celestial En-
pire, il will not, for an instant, be denied tha
Mr.. CUSHING is equally so. Hi, father having
been for many years, as he still u.s. a distinguish
ed commercial merchant, MIR. CUsHiNGs mind
was early bent in commercial direction. Ii is
said Of him that at the age of twenty years
when student at law, he wrote Commercial
Report, for worthy member of Congress-
which was adopted by the committee over
which that member presided, and was received
by the country with marked appreciation. 1t is
well known that for severals years before he was
elected TO Congress in 1894, he was employ ed
by the merchants at the North, having claims
upon the Gov, rnment for Spanish and French
spoliations, TO repair to Washington, during the
sessions of Congress, to act their agent, and
that he conducted their mportan; business TO a
successful issue. And, for the eight years that
he has been member Of Congress, who has ex-
hibted more thorough aud practical knowledge
of all our commercial relations2 MIR. CUsH-
ING's Reports from the Committee on Fo-
reign Relations are bright and honorable
monuments of his genus, interchangeable in
duslry, and thorough knowledge Of The vast
and comprehensive relations therein treated up
on. In this department, as well as a prompt,
able, courteous and eloquent debater, it is al
most universally admitted, Mr.. Gushing had no
superior in Congress. To that body, as well as
10 the Legislative Department of the Govern
mem, his acceptance of the Mission now ten
dered him, will prove an essential loss. But it
is to be hoped that his services in this new and
untried Mission will prove no less valuable to
the country. His high moral character, great
attachments, acquired at home and abroad I'M
firing application and uniform courteous
bearing as a gentleman, peculiarly constitute
proud Republic at the Court of the Emperor
of China.
This appointment shows at once the high es-
tmalion in which Mr.. CUSHING is held by Presi-
dent TYLER, and at once disarms those enemies
Of the President who had already commenced
the hue and cry that JOHN TYLER, now that he
had found he could avail himself no more of Ca
LEB CusHING's services, had turned traitor TO
him.

Even up to 1910, the Globe was willing for

abuses the Presid nj for appointing them noo,
quite passes our comprehension. We add il,

Mr.. ALLYN AND TIE oLobk.

LThe following letter has be n sent TO US by
Mr.. Allen, the founder aud former dior OF the
Nadsonian, for publication. We dem II bu
just TO comply with the request
CRYsrAL SPRINGS,
81 Louis, April "a, loi3
Sir IL have seen in the Madisouian Of the 10Th
INST, extract from the "Globe,n charging that
Mr. Webster Thought out lien altogether" that is,
bought of me the Madisonian and that ''John Jones
was bought in This is denied by you SO far as you
are concerned, but the manner of il seems TO leave
something for TO say if indeed IL be necessary 10
notice any thing that is said by the National Sian
derer.
The editor of the Globe, for his own selfish pur-
poses well known to me, has now several times re-
Peated in his p0per and elsewhere the story, iabri-
Gated by himself, of my being bought out Of the Ma
disonian by Mr. Webster. As repetition may effect
the object Of the slanderer, | beg leave, through
your columns, TO pronounce his charge wholly false,
and destitute of the slightest foundation coloring
of truth. Mr.. Webster knew nothing of my arrange
ments, or objects in disposing Of the Madsonan, nor
was he, any other member Of the Cabinet aware
that change was contemplated, so far know, until
announced publicly my Withdrawal. From the
close of the political campaign Of 1910, which re-
suited in the achievement Of the main object had in
view in establishing the Madsonian had cherished
a wish and determination to return to those hum
BILE and quiet walks Of life for which was edu
Gated. When you presented yourself as purchaser
was happy to avail myself Of the opportunity 10
fulfil my wish and determination. This is the whole
of it; and all the wealth and power, and even the
fruiton of all the high hopes of The Globe"
could not purchase back to an editorial life in
Washington
From phrase used in the extract from the Globe
infer that that paper has undertaken to give "his-
tory of the Madisonian and Allen" have not
this pretended history, but if it were history truly
stated should be proud to see it published up 10 the
period at which my editorial connection with the
Madsonian terminated. ltwould show steady ad-
herence to r publican principles, sustained in free
and independent spirit without regeneration, with
out turning, without assimilation, without premedi-
taed falsehood, and always remembering that we
had {" a country to serve as well party to obey"
As to any history given by the Globe, my expe-
ricnce in controversy with the editor Of that print,
warrants me in saying, without hesitation, that, if he
has, in single instance, hit upon TRUTH it has been
by accident and not by design. My belief is that,
whenever the alternative of choice between true
and false statement is presented to that editor, he
would first, from habit incline TO prefer the false
hood, even though the truth should serve his purpose
quite we'll
| remain, very truly yours,
