before US the Country has rejoice at thi'
decision.
Tha f,llowing nominations, in addition to those
Of Tie Cabinet and Mr.. Everett, were confirmed
by the Senate on Monday:
WILLIAM Hustler, (uow Charge d'A:aires,) ,c
be Minister plcapotcutinry to Brazil.
RoBEnr ". WALSH. Secretary ot Legation, do
WlLLtAx BoULwARE, Of Virginia. Charge d Af
fa;res 10 Naples.
JAuEs D. DorY, Governor OF Wisconsin.
Major S. CHURCHILL, to be Inspector Genera
of the Army, in the place OF General Wool, pro-
noted
70 Most heartily do we rejoice in being ena'
bed TO STATE that the nomination of EDWARD Ev-
rRLTr as Minister Plenipotentiary to England was
on Monday confirmed BY the Senate. Thus one
fountain Of bitterness is stanched-may another
such never be opened
10" The Erenmg Pot Is universally known and
recognized as one Of the most honest and candid
Loco-Foco journals in the Country-we thiI k de-
cdedly the most So Yet that paper in a review
OF the last Presidential canvass on the part OF the
Wings. makes the following sweeping assertion:
They THE Whigs1 concluded to proclaim no
nrpcinIes Of their own, TO put forth no measures,
70 make an appeal on common point, but to i'm
bue their friends with the hope that they were Will
ling to do every thing, and unite all their energies
against the existing Administration
Now to this assertion we oppose positive facts
We published by far the most extensively circu-
lated Wing paper The Log Cabin] in the Country
throughout the last canvass. In that paper we pub
lished conspicuou,ly the following Declaration of
Wing Principles, which was substantially the same
as appeared IN nearly all the Wing papers-viz.
al. One Presidential Term % No President Re-
elected while in Office.
. Retrenchmen, OF the Patronage am rover oi
c Federal Executive.
g. Noimerlneddlng Of Officers of the Federal Go
vernment in the Elections of the States and People
A. Rotation in Office.
s. 4 Sound. Sufficient and Uniform Currency
alike for Il.e Government and People.
s. No Srb-Treasury. No EXaction ard Hoagoing
of Specie by the Government,
These were the declared Principles of the Wings
in the Canvass OF 1910; theyare Principles now
We have surrendered none, but have honestly la
bored to carry out all. And yet the Evening Post
deliberately asserts that we had no Principles in
,ha, Canvass or none that we dared avowi
The Post goes on to narratc our victory, the call
OF the Extra Session. and proceeds:
Z" No sooner was it assembled than their great
iile.lcadcr Mr.. Clay came forward with his mani
,c.te of what was TO be done. He proclalmcs that
there must be a National Bank, that the public land
proceeds should be distributed, that huge Oeo' was
10 be contracted and that Protective 1aTiu Stouu
remain the policy OF tho Nation
So saws William c. Bryant; but does he say
,nlyl Dia Mr.. Clay proclaim that ga huge DEBT
o,,,t be consracfedt" Not syllable like it. He
said that the existing and increasing debt must be
,,o,a eff. and ,ha to this erd lean must tcmpora-
,;lv be made and the Revenue duties augmented to
provide for its speedy extinction. But Tor the
Post. assertion about n huge debt and FRO
,ec,iv, Tariff there is shadow o; eNeusc.-
we are nrlentlv in favor Of Protective Tariff
We trust MIR. CLAY is so. But he has said not a
word about i, a, this Session. but Las cndeavored
70 make the Tariff strictly Revenue one, by taN-
Ing articles of general consumption which are not
ryaled in this country. In this he was resisted and
degca,ed by union of portion of the Wings with
the entire Van Buren, party.
After these exposures, i, cannot be necessary to
show that the Posts article is tissue OF msrePrc-
senations. For instance, it says the Wings q have
no, reascci the expenditures of the Government in
any Of it, Departments a single cent" This Is
grossly untrue. In the Printing, Stationery, &c,
of Congress-. the retrenchment has boon nearly or
or;te snehal;. In the collection OF the Revenue

We adni. that the Wing pledges OF Retrench-
men, have not vet been redeemed in full, Tor no
oppartunity has been afforded. We arc abused for
dong so much in three months, and Yet found aui'
with for not doing more. Give Us air time ard 1t
the Whigs do aot re,rcnch the expenses Of the
Govsrnmen, considerably, we will dcnounce them.

Cangress for these purposes, and praised him for 50
