The Charlotte Journal

The Philadelphia Sentinel alludes to the grave character of the difficulties now existing between this country and Great Britain, and concludes with the following remarks, which, just in themselves, may be called generous as coming from a political opponent:

"The rumored appointment of the Hon. Henry Clay as the diplomatic agent from this Government to St. James, on this delicate business, is full of promise. Few men could be found less likely to fail in such a mission. We have differed with him in local politics, but we accord to him enlarged and liberal views in great State questions. In great exigencies, he has shown himself equal to the crisis. Never more calm, than amid excitement; never more bland and balmy in his counsels than when the political sea is vexed with storms; never more sagacious than when others are perplexed and doubting: he seems marked by a long career of public life as the Statesman who should be chosen by the new Administration as the representative at once of our just claims and our good will at the British Court: and we shall confess our disappointment, if he, who has so often been pacificator at home, shall fail to be an able peace maker abroad."
