ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIA.-Ths steamer had
fifteen DAYS passage yesterday. Ii may be pre-
sumed, therefore, that she has arrived at Boston. II
SO, we shall receive her news early this morning.
NOMINATIONS BEFORE THE SENATE-The extent,
variety, and character, aggregate and individual,
OF the nominations sent in by the President Tor con-
hrmatlon by the Senate, begin 10 create great
deal of enquiry and excitement amongst the various
circles OF office-beggars and office-holders and
their several lotteries. Nor are they undressing
ia the quiet philosopher who is looking on, for they
present many points of irresistible drollery and ex-
hibit human nature in broad and amusing light.
Amongst the list now before the Senate, are cabi-
net othcers-mlnlsers abroad-collectors-a
pralsers-naval othcers-representative in fact of
almost every rank and condition amongst the ser
wants of the government and the children OF men. A
more curious and motley groupe than this, was
probably never before collected and presented 10
he Senate of the United States for confirmation.
They appear TO be gathered from the four winds
like the big sheet-ful of uncean things which ST.
Peter saw let down from heaven-selected from all
parties, classes and conditions of life but they
chiefly seem TO be the collection of creeping things
who have been forced upon the unsuspecting con-
hdence of Captain ohm Tyler by the extraordinary
events of the last eighteen months and particularly
by the violent, vindictive and persevering abuse
heaped upon HIM by the leaders of the wing party,
In public and private. great many of these cam
dldates are wings; but the majority have been col
iected from the locofoco ranks in all parts of the
Union.
Now, in looking over this list of great and small
lazzarone, who trembling before the United
states Senate, there is presented TO our mind one
single and powerful feature which rresistibly leads
TO one conclusion. In the whole list there is not
single man who was not selected by the President
under the belief that the individual in question oc-
cupled an important position in the democratic
party, and who has not since the last election ri-
umphanty demonstrated that he was as utterly
poweress as a mushroom, and who has not, in
stead OF adding popularity to the administration,
contributed essentially to place it beneath the
contempt OF both parties In the State. We allude,
IN the expression of this opinion, to such men as
Henshaw, of Boston-Rantoul, of Boston-Porter,
OF Pennsyvanla-and in fact, the whole of them
on the llst-trom top TO bottom-crosswise and
lengthwise-n breadth and thickness There is not
solitary man In the whole batch of them who,
with all the cunning and trickery, and duplicity,
and meanness he has brought into the market has
been able to add single additional element to
give encouragement to John Tyler in perseverng
IN his present position and policy. Was not this
proved in the election of Blair and Rives
Indeed the intrigues during the last year and
halt, by which the President has been deceived
and deceived almost like child-present richer
and more curious scenes of human nature than were
ever contemplated by Shakespeare himself and these
we mean TO write down and publish before these
nominations are confirmed by the Senate. We beg
the Senator's therefore, 10 suspend all action on these
nominations until we have published the complete
history of the suberfuges and intrgues and tricks
by which these candidates imposed themselves on
the President of the United States, and by which
they now happen 10 be before the Senate. And on
these matters we believe the President may think
very much as we do and that, if ultimately the
whole batch of them be decapitated, with only
one here and there saved, as a monument of the
destruction of the Others the President will Just be
as well satisfied as the country will be. 1t is now
full time to have thorough purgauon of these
men who have been imposing the President,
And 1t shall be done. Trembe, then, We men OF
intrigue for behold, the day of tribulaton draweth
ngh-yea, it has ready come
The first sketches which we propose TO give
will embrace the movements of Captain Ro-
bert Tyler, T. N. Parmlee, John G. Spencer, Ed
ward Curtis John L. Graham, and Lewis Eaton,
both here and in Washington, in the business of
nystifying the President and people. twill be ANU
sing, and will reveal some things to the President
of the United States that he never dreamed Of be-
fore.
