| Show A GOOD SELECTION thin THE appointment of mr frederick douglass as minister to hayti is spoken of approvingly by nearly all the newspapers in view of the fact that the dark republic is in the throes throe of an apparently interminable civil cirii war aud and that it is correspondingly pon an undesirable if not a dangerous place to live in this might seem to some an ambiguous compliment but on the part of the NEWS it is well meant we can think of no better selection that could have been made for several reasons not the least of them being the homogeneousness of the case the Hayti ens being negroes and mr douglass being a negro negra besides he is finely educated has held positions of trust and profit under the government was one of the founders of the republican party and represents in his own person the possibilities of the african having once been aada ajab e then a fugitive then a free man and latterly something of a publicist the senate should have no two opinions as to the confirmation of that appointment |
