The EDITOR OF THE HERALD
The nominations Of briggs for Pots, and Everson
for Flour, went to the Senate this morning, and
probably will be confirmed, with the health COM
missioner and tobacco inspector, on Wednesday
next. In noslng about, find the murmurs of that
quiet description which forbodes the storm. Mr.
WriQbt's opposition to Texas-his course in rela-
ton to United States SenaIors-the difficulties in
the appointment OF State ofi1ces, and his re-noml-
nation of the nominees of the late Governor, by
the influence of your Senator's are generally view
ed as an insult offered to the will OF the people,
and will probably consgn him to private life at the
terday he was the idol OF thousands-the dictator,
of any office he would accept, to millions. Now,
he is -; but MORE ANON.

We have just come out of another snow storm,
which has impeded the mail communications to
some extent, and they have been much deranged
| for some time.
The political temperature has of late been eA-
| tremely variable; within the past two weeks.
however, it has generally ranged at fever
heat. Shall give you some inkling of the dirty
workings of politicians here? I will. In the first
place, there was the appointments of Messrs. Fos-
ter and Dickinson, by Governor Bouck-then,
when the two houses met here, the Senators would
| operate at Washington through the patronage of
| the general government, upon the members here,
(and in return for that favor, these Senators would
be Obliged to heed the behests of MIR. Tyler,) and
thus secure the control of the popular branch Of
| the legislature to Governor B., and Mr.. Foster
lead of an opposition to Governor Wright secure
the election Of Foster to the Senate-Gov. Bouck
i to the Comptrollership. Foster would secure to
| the family of the latter, by his position In the
| Senate, places in the Custom House under Mr.
Van Ness, and at once take possession Of all the
filled with the friends Of Gov B: Foster and Cros.
| WELL to the embarrassment and final overthrow If
Gov Wright. This was old hunkerism. And what
unsophisticated young gentlemen; by far too amia-
| BILE They were satisfying themselves with secu-
ring the election in making their count of votes
upon paper, and thus electing Col. Crane Speaker.
| Croswell lau2hed-gave up running about from
| room to room, and man to man-threw himself
upon his sofa, took to reading the Wandering Jew;
and the end was. the old hunkers or old Regency,
elected their officers and took possession of the
house.
Next we had the caucus for Senator's

ter's influence at Washington would not come
up to his pretensions. Gov. Polk's memory would
peradventure travel back as far 1887, when Fos-
Ter became uneasy, petuent and unstable, and
that Gov. Wright would give no Judgeships, surro-
gacies and other sold clothes"-to those who de-
clared.a an open war upon him. and embarrassed
his administration; consequently. .Bouck and Foster
were thrown over and abandoned by those who,
few short weeks previously had fawned at their
very feet, and they openly declared themselves un-
willing to trust the latter with any Office for the
long period of six years Hear we found the de-
mocratic party in bitter collision and open war
among themselves, sapping the foundations Of their
| very existence; the wings chuckling and begin
ming to count upon a certain majority (and that
large one) next tall, i not a controlling power in
the present House. Two friends of Croswell were
in deep humility groaning over this state Of things,
and the chance sihe wings may have to move C.'s
boots "a State printer; third joining them, laugh

ty to the house, the chances are, they will be
barnburners or radicals, majority of the next Sc
nate will surely be 30, and then out he goes; but
give US whlg house, and ne holds over! How
patriotic"
Next came the election of State officers, they

to counter-balance that influence. They selected
