THE REJECTED NOMINATIONS.

proceedings In the Senate with regard 10 the two
! rejected nominations. We think the rejection OF
MIR. Wise wise act of the Seneate; believing
him by disposition, independent of other conside-
ras'ons, unified for the post to which he was
nominated. OF the rejection OF Mr.. Gushing,
there is not the same broad ground for the express
sion of opnion-it was more strictly confined to
questions connected with his course as partizan
oil Mr.. Ty.er's administration. In his speech on
the Exchequer scheme. which was formal de-
fence Of Mr.. Tyler's course, ho made representa-
ton of the position and power of the President,
and the advantages that might accrue in the action
o! Congress, from yielding to his constitutional
scruples, but the representation was so peculiar
and unique. that the inference was drawn that Mr..
c. was endeavoring to impress upon parties the
Importance OF propiiatng the Administration
with reference to the next Presidency Mr.. G. it
will be remembered, was styled the auctioneer of
the Administration, crying it for bids in the mar
ket, and gibes and sarcasms fell upon hin, thick
and fast, from all quarters. The Globe attributes
his rejection TO his remarkable speech above re-
ferred TO. 1t says:
"Mr. Gushing we have no doubt, was put I'M
der the Senate's ban for the open aucioneering
Administration in the House Of Representatives,
as bearing upon the next Presidency"
Without presumins to say that this was the true
cause, we state the allegation as part Of the re-
markahle history.
