From WAsHINGToN-Our latest dates
from Washing on, Somewhat 10 our surprise
safe that the nomination of Mr.. lncroG,
as Secretary of Tie Navy, has not yet been
confirmed by the Senate. The delay in the
confirmation, there appears to be some DIFF
ficulty in accounting for, it is generally,
however, attributed to supposed leaning
on the rarl Of Mr.. Blncrofi, 10 aboiiionism.
If Mr.. Bancroft is rejected o. this ground,
we shall begin to think there is something
in the idea that the Southerners Ire deter
mined 10 dictate TO the Union. "W HON he
Gods wish TO dosroy,rhey first make mad"
is an old saying, and truly this rejection on
this ground, would fully Justify il. Such
a Storm of Indignation would be IA scd, as
would weaken very sensibly and rapidy,,Ee
peculiar institution Of southern afftciicn:n
deed it seems to us it would be The signal
of general rising, which could neither be
put down nor delayed,t till this naughty pride
is completely BUNDLED. The Soulhcrners
are themselves their own worst enemies Ii
is less their peculiar institutions, which have
originated the feeling against them, than
their own naughty and dictaorial attitude,
and this persevercd in by them, must result
in their O, erihrow.
The atmosphere is full cfrumors, of course
with regard TO removals, apl o.nments, but
there appears no satisfactory evidence to
base any assertions or conclusions on. Per
haps the following extract from the cores
pondencc cfthe N Y. News, is more fully
10 be rel ed on, than anything else on the
subject.
"No NOMINATIONS at all Of any conse-
quence were made 10 day. The President in
tents only 10 fill vacancies nj the present
session Of the Senate. In determining on
removals and appointments which il may
be necessary 10 make, he intends 10 take
his time, and obtain the best Information
and advice which each case will admit of.
In regard to New York, you need not fear
that such counsel will be sought from any
other quarters than those known tG possess
the confidence of its true and honest De-
mocracy, ano truly and honestly TO repre-
sent it.
1.-The idea that loud and louder vocifera-
ton clamorous demagogueism Cor Texas
was TO be the great and sole sufficlng pass
port TO Executive favor, is now pretty well
exploded. The Presidents Inaugural on
this subject is admirable, and in perfect &C
cordance with the trus Democratic sent-
meni and sense Of the North in regard 10
Texas.
1.-The fact is now sufficiently public 10
warrant allusion 10 it, that seats in The Cab
met had been rendered to both Mr.. Wrigh,
and Mr.. b. F. Busler-to The former the
Treasury, and TO the latter the War De-
pariment. Mr.. Wright is understood 10
have declined from his view Of his obliga-
tons to the State which had just elected him
10 is gubernatorial chair and moreover,
10 decline the higestS officcs in the country
is way Of his, which is certainly pecu-
liar 10 him.
Mr.. Butler is understood 10 have felt
himself bound by his duties 10 his family
not TO leave his present position in his pro.
iession, even for the strong inducements
thus addressed alike 10 his personal and po-
litical feelings. He was doubtless selected
as the first after MIR. Wright to receive this
offer, in consequence of his known pecu.
larry close personal relations towards Mr.,
Van Buren,, for the purpose Of exhibiting
the most signal proof possible Of the Presi.
dents full sense of the part which New
York and her great statesman have borne
