The candidates for confirmation, on Polk appoint
nent TO office are coming on here in great numbers
Their friends are also numerous who come here 10
lobby for their benefit. Among the latest arrivals
here is B. F. HALLErT ofBostcn ISAAC H. WRIGHT
also arrived this morning. 1t is supposed that Mr.
MORTON will be confirmed this week.
Among those who arrived here to-day without any
reference to Office, is 7. CoLLEY GRArTAS, British
Consul at Boston.
There is said 10 be great trouble aboutth disposal
of the Texas Custom House Officers Mr.. RUNSELs,
of Mississippi having outwitted Mr.. COOKE in obtain
the Collectorship OF Galveston gives any thing but
general satisfaction.
Among the nominations in doubtful situation is
Mr.. DoRsHEIMER, P. NJ at Buffalo. II Polk nom

Senate may not reject our German friends
The Oregon debate will probably be brought up
in the Senate tomorrow. We may have some re-
marks from Mr.. CALHous in reply to some of the
newspaper paragraphs about him. Mr.. ARCHER is
going to take the ground that the business belongs
exclusively to the Treaty making power.
You noticed day or two since that Mr. ALLEN
of Ohio introduced Resolution 10 terminate the
joint occupancy of the Oregon Territory without any
action of the Executive. Every days experience
convnces me that Mr.. ADAMS and other Whigswerc
right in the position they took with respect to the
Notice.
The truth of the matter is that the Loco ocos are
dreadfully disappointed at the position which the
Wings have assumed Mr.. POLK had no idea of
giving the notice. He fears 10 do il. He wishes 10
make up in bluster what he lost in Western popu.
larity by offering the 49th parallel He wishes 10
avoid giving the notice, and, like the blusterer you
mention in Yesterday Tribune he wants somebody
10 hold him He wanted the Wings 10 hold him, and
when thew refused TO do So he do something
still more desperate-to force them TO hold him.
He reminds me of a man whom | once saw on the
Fulton Ferry to Brooklyn. He was apparently try
inc IN the river before the boat Two
benevolent men holding on to the skirts OF his
torn coat Every spring he made they clenched the
skirts aforesaid with redoubled fury. At length
some person, more shrewd than they, advised them
10 let him 20, and when he found no one holding him
he appeared 10 be quite satisfied with going fast
as the boat without jumping before it.
So with Mr.. POLK; if he only gets his own way,
and can't coax any body to hold his skirts, he ii do
little harm.
| am strongly impressed with this idea by read
ing an article IN the Ohio Statesman, Mr.. ALLEN ;
organ of the 9TH instant. That paper to have
the true Polk idea OF this controversy. Loco-Foco-
ism wants TO elect another President upon ii. cut
the following curious paragraph from the Statesman
of the 5th inst in the leading editorial of that day
1t says:
We prepared 10 our oshes aUarted in the pre-
Congress- Ii will then enter into our ne1 elections
in clear and unequivoca manner forming an element OF
Importance to be exaggerated In the West the effect

Representatives Why then il 1t prepared To see

The answer is clear. The party are prepared and
hope 10 see their Dragging mot their wshesl thwart-
ed in the present Loco Foco Congress. that IT may
enter into the next Presidential contest, and Loco
Focoisn would surrender all of Oregon as they
have offered to surrender the 10th parallel for the
sake of carving the next President Therefore has
Mr. ALLES been disappointed, and finding the w hiGs
