Mr. Buchanan has appointed our distinguished
fellow. citizen Gen. George p Morris to an official
station in the sunny land of France. There,
with yine-clsd hills on the one hand, and the
Dlashng waves Of the historic Channel on the
other, and amid the romantic asIOciations of the
storied past the American bard and journalist will
hereafter discharge the functions Of American
Consul st the famous port Of Havre. We say that
he will discharge them-for though there is as yet
no oficia! announcement that the General will
accept the appointment, we presume it would not
have been conferred had not our venerable Presi-
dent been assured that it would be received with
pleasure. We cordially wish our genial aud popu-
lar cotemperary all happiness and success in this
new and untried sphere Of exertiOn At the same
time we will say frankly that we should have been
pleased to have seen him placed in some more
important European position. He is the second
Journalist whom Mr.. Buchanan has appointed to
Office. The first was Southern man, Mr.. Forsyth
of Mobile, and lie was sent abroad with the hOnOrs
of q Plenipotentiary; while Gen. Morris, whose
lyrical illusions have made bis name household
word wherever the English language is spoken and
the domestic affections are cherished, being
Northern man, is put off with secOnd-rste con-
sulate. But we will not allow these political con-
siderations to mar the good wishes we have to
offer to the gallant General; and still less shall they
repress our hope that in the memorable scenes of
The Old World his muse may gather new inspira-
1on, and Irvine new wrestbs of song for the delight
