Tribune Correspondence
The nomination of Mr.. Corwin as minister to
Mexico was quite unexpected to him, and was
not desired Ii is only three days since he urged
upon the President the selection of another per-
son peculiarly fitted for this post. Mr.. Lincoln
nominated him without any conference whatever,
and was influenced mainly by the desire to Sc
his services in carrying out the policy which
Mr.. Corwin has advocated in and out of Con-
gress as most desirable for our future CONNER
cial, political and diplomatic relations with that
republic. If he consents to accept that mission
at all, which is yet undetermined, it will be for
the purpose of inducing Mexico to adopt this
policy and for no other reason. In this view the
mission is now among the most important in the
whole service.
The agents of Jefferson Davis are there en-
deavoring to obtain recognition.
