Mr.. CONSUL HAwTHORNE.-The
admirers of Mr.. Hawthorne seem to
have expected that the Office to which
he would be appointed under the new
administration would be one of honour
more flowing than Consul to Liverpool.
Now, it seems to us, that in selecting
this lucrative post for his friend, Cen
eral Pierce has displayed excellent
sense. Honour and glory Mr.. Hawth-
orne has already, in abundance. No
Office whatever could increase his fame,
or elevate his position. Money, on the
contrary, is the precise commodity of
which he stands in need, and money,
therefore. has been placed within his
reach. To literary man, pecuniary
independence is blessing beyond cs-
innate. 1t bestows upon bim that lei
sure in which alone immortal books can
be composed, and that freedom from
care which he, beyond all other men,
requires, for the cheerful elaboration
of his works. We congratulate Mr..
Hawthorne upon his good fortune, and
trust he will be able, during his tenure
Of office, to make himself an indepen-
dent man for the rest of his life.

National Era, but the fact is not the less signi-

seven thousand subscribers and it il probable
that in another year it will reach fifty thou

its circulation has nearly doubled within the
past year. In this we rejoice, and hail it as q
presagc of the better time coming. That Free
Democrats choose to support National press
almost to the total neglect and consequent ruin
of State and local papers, is not the Erds
fault nor does it prove anything against our
position that the Anti-Slavery sentiment is
rapidly advancing. both North and South
