The New York Republic thus announ-
ces it:

cerpiude than the appointment Of Mr.. c.
We place the fullest confidence in his sin

ter-he is TOO high-minded and patriotic TO
sacrifice in anything the honor and inter-

The New York Herald of tue 5lh, be-
fore the nomination was known, saws:
1--WE believe Mr.. Webster might be able
10 settle peaceably the Oregon question,
so as TO satisfy The east; but whether he
could settle it or the Texas question on
terms to satisfy the south and west, we
are disposed to doubt. In this aspec, of
the case, it is probable that Mr.. Calhoun
would give more satisfaction TO the coun-
Try nIeIalion TO these questions than any

ment, and without any perceivable per-
sonal motive TO desire the Office, it can only
be with strong, disiuteres,ed, self-sacri-
ficing hope of being of service to the coun-
try, in the settlement Of the great ques-
lions at issue. Elevated as is his character
and fame, the Office can add nothing to
either, and the remaining portion OF the
term is Too shor, 10 enable him TO effec,
anything in it Of the Government reform so
desirable to himself & his political friends.
The negotiations to be opened with Great
Britain, are besel with too many serious
difficulties, and involve too much of per-
sonal responsibility, to render the manage
ment oftbem desirable to any one. This,
however, will not deter Mr.. Calhoun from
undertaking them, if he believes he can be
of service and if he does undertake them.
the very acl itself, evidently free from any
selfish motive, combined with his great ex-
perience and wisdom, and thorough under
standing of the questions at issue, will at
once give 10 the country great hope of sue
