The Republic contains very curious

Young Democracy, which report says is

In speaking of the capabilities of the
conductor of the new organ the French
man says:
M. Beverly Tucker is endowed with
critical mind, just without bitterness,
clear without being tedious, is correct in
his appreciation of men and things and

The Republic thus approves of the APP
pointment of Robert J. Walker as Minis
ter to China
cit gives us pleasure to concur in the
general propriety of this appointment,
which is SO much better than a number
OF the foreign appointments which We
have felt 1t our duty to condemn. Ex-
ceptins the ultra free trade notions of
MIR. Walker, we know of no gentleman
having more personal fitness for the sta

The Inteuigsncer has an article on the
Mission to China, in which it speaks ap-
