From the St. Louis Republican.
xhe Minister to 8tockholm..

Since the public announcement that John
Maginnis, Esq, Of Illinois, had been appoint.
ed BY the President minister to Stockholm,
many OF the radical journals have indulged
in continents upon Mr.. Maginnis, not at al
creditable to their good taste or sense of jus
tee. Some have contented themselves with
mere jeeular illusions, and mirthful inquir-
les, "Who's Maginnis 2" Others have ex-
hibited much partisan malignity and person
al spite in calling attention to the appoint
ment of this gentleman. Some of these
writers must have written ignorantly, for
Mr.. Maginnis has been all his life strictly
private gentleman, entirely disconnected
from public life and official position, that
beyond the circle of personal acquaintance
and business associations he was unknown
Those who did know him, knew him to be
cultivated gentleman, with refined tastes, and
more than an ordinary share of literary at
tainments, with an unblemished reputation,a
familiarity with society, and himself an orna-
ment of the most polished circles, and fitted
by everything but experience to occupy any
position of honor or responsibility which an
educated American citizen may aspire to fill.
1t is only among the ignorant and malignant
that any persons can be found to asperse the
character or disparage the qualities of John
Maglnnls. we speak from personal hhowl-
edge of the man, deprecating as most unjust
| the tone of articles concerning him which
still continue to appear in radical journals.
We can perhaps give additional force to
what we have said, among radicals, by quot
ing an extract from an editorial in the Spring
| field (nl.) Journal, an ultra radical sheet,
| which regard for truth and decency prompts
| to speak thus of Mr.. Maginnis:
We know him personally to be an educated,
| accomplished and worthy gentleman-in every
sense of the word superior to many who have held
| and do now hold diplomatic positions abroad
| He is, we believe, democrat in his opinions, but
| he is not in any offensive sense politician and
we are certain that his appointment at the hands
| of the President is not in payment of or reward
for any "dirty work" that he has ever done in be-
half of that dignitary. Mr.. Maginnis' tastes are
literary rather than political, but he is possessed
of solid accomplishments which would not appear
to disadvantage at any drawing room in Washing
| ton or royal court in Europe, even though he
| may lack the accidental prestage of some whe
| have gone to represent us abroad We do not
| know " hat policy the United States senate pro-
poses to pursue in reference to the confirmation OF
| President .Johnson's foreign appointments, but
certainly Mr.. Maginnis has no record, personal
| or POLITICAL at which offence be justly taken,
unless that body intends to confirm appointee
who is not identified with the republican party
and we do not think it is prepared to demand
such test that.

1t is proposed to renew the state seal OF u
linois, the die being worn. Whereupon the
Chicago Tribune says:
1.-THE motto upon the seal is: Estate Sow
ereignty-National Union" 1t appears to
us that this is favorable time for changing
the motto, and adapting it to existing facts.
There is no such thing as Estate Sovereign
ty" in this country. The rebellion was inst.
tuted upon the theory of State Sovereignty.
1t was crushed by the opposite theory. Let
the "lost cause" cease to be emblazoned up
on the state seal of Illinois,
Better not be in hurry. When ''there is
NO such thing as State Sovereignty in this
country" the union founded by the men of
re, will no longer be in existence.
