". Y. Commercial Advertiser.
Martin the Martyr. Sir the rupture of tn
cabinet, last spring. no official act has caused 81
much sensation as the rejection Of the nomination
Of the willy politician despatched to the court Of st.
James. So far as The newspapers have come in,
the satisfaction appears to be very general. The
pensiOned presses in The service OF the Late ST.
cretary. are of course in a blaze 1T wrath be.
cause the Senate has dared to resist any nomi-
nation coming from the President. These press
es affect to rejoice at the rejection, because. say
they, it will ensure his election to the Vice Pre-
sidencv. He is already called a MARTYR. a
very Saint. in the jackson cause. and all true
lieee-men are called upon to come out in his de-
fence. The New York Inquirer, whose editor
recently said that he MUST be made Wee Presi.
dent nolenS r0iesS, whether he would or not. has
taken the lead in the hue and crv. has nominated
him Il Vice President. and is sure that the Jack
son Convention, next MAY, will confirm the no.
mination. We stated s'pne DAYS ago, that the
moment his fate should be decided in the Senate.
that these presses would open their batteries on
those Senators who had presumed to inquire IN.
to his merits, and the r~roprie,y of the Presidents
nomination. What we predicted has already
commenced, and the warfare has began.
