cciyed among others, news Of TIE np.
poinimcnts Of Jouy A. Dix, Of New
York as minister 10 France, and OF
RICHARD K. MEADE Of Virginia, as min,
lister to Chill. Mr.. Dix was at the head
heal Of the free soil party in New York
while Mr.. Moalc was prominent sc-
ccssionia; in Virginia. The appointment
Of these men affords another proof Of the
determination Of the President to &C, for
The Democracy,-the great mass Of the
people. Enough for him to know that
tho great principles Of Democracy arc
the controlling motives to action, and that
!hose principles are honestly entertained
ana caulidly avowed. In whatever
light others may view it, we look upon
the course OF the President as tie most
direct approval, and powerful advocacy
Of free discussions, we have ever seen
practically illustrated. No doub: many
influences have been cxcrcd 10 prescribe
II course for the President by the win e
workers in political affairs, but in this

The Railroad Massacre.
