THE NOMINATIONS.

is of an interesting character :!
The first. in Importance, is the nomination OF
John Raadolph, of Roanoke. as Envoy extraordle
nv and Minister Penipotentiary to the Court OF
Russia. MI .4dnirari::" is, we believe the
motto on the coat of arms of the naughty descen-
dant of the prncelv Pocahontas; and we have no
doubt it recurs to him as forcibly when nc con-
templates this event, as it did when ne suddenly
found himself taken into favor by the republican
party of Virginia, and by il elevated TO the sen
ate of the United States, after an Alienation from
its ranks, embittered by an angry war OF InG'uai
recrimination, for the space ct nearly twenty
years. John RandOiph, Of Raa0ke, Mtn.S'er' 10

In rejecting on Mr.. Randolph's nomination,
the enquiry naturally arises-was MIR. Randolph
consulted on the occasion? If ne was not, he will
scout the office. and ten to one, insult him who
~proffers it. If Run,ow (who we admit is a jade
not much to depended upon belle not MIR. Ran
dolph, he has declared, since Gen. Jackson's ell
ection. in his pointed and sneering way, so as to
leave no doubt of his %allusion to the present Ex-
~ecutiye, that .there will never be another gentle
man elected to the Presidential Office" And
surely if this be true, he will not accept office
under a man whom he has thus indirectly but
bitterly aspersed. But if, OH the other hand,
the proud blood of Pocahontas has stopped so low
as t6 be a mendicant for office at the hands OF
Andrew Jackson, what then shall we say? We
know nothing more appropriate and more empha-
tic than his W words, when he pathetcally ex-
claimed, aWhere are the friends of William IL.
