The CHINESE Mission. The best man for
China is undoubtedly Caleb Cushing lie has
been in the country, understands as well as al
most any body, except Mr. Parker and Mr. Will
liams, the mode Of conducting affairs there, he
reads the Manchu, aud his very name has a Chi
nese smack Ku-shiag. He knows little of
every thing and great deal of most things, he
is learned, acute, selfpossessed, versatile, adrot
and cunning, and in cheating we will put him
against any Mandarin, with any number of but
tons and any amount of feathers, in all the &C.
les,ial Empire. The only objection that the
administration can reasonably have to him is
that he was friend of Pierce, and all the
friends of Pierce are placed under the ban of his
successor. But really the friendship of Caleb
Gushing is not that ardent overpowering senti-
ment that ought to stand in the way of person
al advancement or public service. General
Gushing is the man fol- Commissioner TO China,
and if Mr. Buchanan appoints anybody else, he
will not make the best selection. We are in
formed that Mr.. Walker has been "studying''
the Chinese question, very much, we suppose,
as he has been studying the Kansas question.
II he receives the appointment, he will proba-
bly, remain in Washington studying" Cush-
ing will be making new history while Walker
would be reading the old.-Proridence Journal.

COMPLIMENT TO SPEAKER BANKs.-Speaker

all parties. Mr. Banks in his reply makes hap
Ply aluson TO the new tariff and the useful leg
islation of the last Congress, as follows -
at would be gratifying to me, gentlemen,
could | appropriate to myself any part of the
high praise you award me in reference to this
statute. But its chief merit is, that it is not
the work of any man, party, or section of coun-
try. If there were single interest that could
Justly claim to have dictated its provisions, it
would impair its advantages and endanger its
permanency. Concession is q law of nature,
and there can be no permanent or mutual sue
cess where it is disregarded. tits an act of
an unusual and happy accord between those
who pay and those who receive, which promis-
es not only present but permanent national ad-
vantages.
"The Legislation of the last Congress is not
likely TO receive from the people the full meas
ure of credit to which it has just claim. So
many disturbing questions, sezing hold upon the
passions Of men, were constantly before it, that
they lose sight of its many benefcent acts of
public and private Legislation. No Congress
