say that the bill is intended TO prevent Cession and
Graduation, the vote operates as fraud upon the

CONTRIBUTIONS BY THE SENATE.
8 The Senate were four hours in secret session TO-
lay, and the fruits of all this secre, labor were the fol.
owing nominations, fnr some time upon the table.
Rlace of General ScoTT, promoted.
Colonel ToDD, Of Ohio, Minister TO Russia. in place
Mr.. Cambrelng, On las way hoiuc, Ny request
flade and granted.
DANIEL JENNrFrR, of Md. Minister to Austria. in
lace of Mr.. Muhlenberg, for months at home,
paving served long enough TO heal political division
n Pennsylvania during the late administration. The
Two div lInatc nominations were confirmed without
opposition.
Mr. EvERErr's case was not taken up: Whether
#he senators from the South have withdrawn their
opposition or not, know not. Ii IS the hope, am
lure, Of every wise and discreet man, from all Sec
IONS Of the Union that for the reasons given :here
ss,nld be no opposition to the nom nation, and the
effect of it, should the effort succeed mus, create an
Excitement which will tend 10 the worst consequent
PES. The indications are, that the Loco Foco sena-
sors will resist Mr.. Everett in a body. Those from
Pc North have neither that pride of locality nor that
fpr OF justice which demands action upon principle.
