JoHN NCGENT.-The New York anti Admins
traton papers speak with immeasurable foolish
ness of Mr.. John Nugent, appointed to mission
at Frazer river. The Times says:
a man better calculated to stir up broils could
not be found, or one who would command, in n
measure more diminutive, the respect Of the Cal
ifornia miners. But if, are bound to suppose,
the appointment was made for pacific purposes,
and by means Of judcious advice TO exercise
good influence over the rough spirits at the mines,
then we can conceive of nothing more intensely
absurd than the selection of this restless, quarrel
some, o1iCe-seeking Irishman.'
That is the strepOr of blatherng bigot, who
knows nothing Of the man whom he defames
No man in this State deserves higher admiration
for manhood, self-reliant courage, and justice
Nugen is no stirrcr up Of brois; if he has sought
office, he has rendered equivalent to the party
which has been strengthened by his advocacy.

TO honorable place, a right which the ill-instruc.
ted cynic of the Times would not be slow TO avow.
