Nominations before the senate-COnfusion
OF Parties.
The confusion existing among the various par
ties and factions at Washington, seems to increase
with every additional rejection of those that have
been nominated by the President. 1t would really
appear that the two factions at present engaged
in race, as 10 which shall be the most ready and
the most willing and the most determined to expl-
ate the gross deceptions which have been pracsed
u,on the President during the last two years =
Amid the confusion of this melee, it is almost i'm
possible yet to see very clearly. The rejection
of Henshaw and Hi from New England, would
seem to betoken general rejection of all those
nominated last year for places in Boston and
other places in that section Of the country
With respect to New York, we believe that num-
Der OF nominations now before the Senate con-
nected with the Custom House here, and that a
whole host OF friends of the I" conservative" inte-
rest, by whom these nominations procured
from the President, now in Washington endea-
vorlng to lobby" these appointments through
Whether they will pass from their very insignlti-
clnce, we know not. But it is very curious to see
from every quarter how the evidence accumulates,
showing what strange, amusing and singular decep-
tons have been practsed on the President by the
various factions in this city during the last year or
two.
We have now piece of evidence coroborative
of our previous statement with respect 10 tho very
amusing literary scheme for humbusslng the Presl-
dent. 1t consists of the following card just received
from the publishers of the Democratic Rev,e0.

Very respectfully yours
January 18th, ls44.
1t will be from this important card that every
material allegation made by us in regard to the
practices of the conservative clique of this city, for
the purpose of deceiving the President is sufi-
cently and fully made out 1t IS, indeed, true thai
the expense of the engraving was over-eslimated-
that it cost only about the half Of the sum stated
$3.50. But then it is to be perceived that there wa;
an agreement on the part OF the conductors of lhl.
funny. political, literary intrigue, that they should
procure certain number Of additional subscribers
to the Rercw-thus probably making fully up the
sum mentioned by us. II is also true that the pub
fishers disclaim all connection with this amusing
piece of charlatanism, of which the President was
the victim, and even accompanied this very engra-
wing with their pcto, but still the card proves con-
clusvely the perfect accuracy of general histo-
rical statement Of the mode and manner in which
that particular clique procured the nominations from
the President OF the United States. So much fol
this business.
Before these nominations for New York be con
frmed by the Senate, there will no doubt be ri
gid examination into their merits, and if on du,
consideration, they are found worthy Of confirma
ton, let them be confirmed. But if they should b.
rejected, we are perfectly satisfied from what WI
know of these things, and from what see, anc
from the evidence we now furnish that it will OH
ly be merted condemnation of the gross decep
tlons which have been practlsed upon the PresI
dent of the United States by certain eiiqucs in h
city during the last two years.
Thus it will se seen that the movements now
going on at Washington, in Executive session, ar,
OF a most singular and interesting character, anC
that between the conflict now raging between the
two parties, those who have deceived the President
have iarprospect ofreceivng pretty full measure
OF punishment for their conduct. And whilst the de
celvers thus get their share, the two corrupt factions
will also, we doubt not, be reduced ultimately
