 The appointment ot Webb to be the diplomatic representative ot this eouniry al lhe court of Nsns has occasioned one genrtsl burst Of Indig nati0a throughout the Unloh. The nominatioa WilI not and cannot be confirmed hy th- S-nats mol only for the that ~r ought to torego alt diplomatic tsEcouse with that biood stained go, htip- at, bat because Webb is not ht To d,scharst the dutes ot the station m ordinary ;iues and ander any en'um stances whatever.
 The following well-wTitipn and eloquent essay upon thls appointment is irom the well known pen oi Mr. N. P.
