- The Lexington (Ky.) Ssstesman thus notices
the appointment of JAMES B. Clay Is Minister to
Prussis-s position which be has since declined
We understand that the President has rendered
| to this gentleman en- appointment TO high oficis
station abroad. Independent Of Mr.. Gays indis.
putab!e qualifications for such service this compi
Tnent is exceedingly appropriate, as an evidence
Of the Presidents high appreciation of the patriot
&c position of the 0ld-line Wings and his resdi
ness thus to honor q son Of Kentuoky's grea
statesman is q very significant commentary upor
some Of the ISLANDERS uttered By the opposition
press and speakers during the late Presidential can
vass. Whether or not SIR. Clay will accept the
| preferred honor, we are not informed.
Sres writing the above we earn that the pos
offered to Mr. Clay is that Of Mi1ister to Berlin
FIRST class nj sion. Such sn offer, to a gentle
man who is in no sense an cf6ce.sesksr, is indeed
highly complimentary.
