Correspondence OF The Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 49, lsi7-Midnighi.
1t is said that Mr. POLK cannot have bis meas
ures carried out by the party. One OF the most Inn
portant prerogstives OF the President is the ap.
poiutment to Office When President cannot have
his nominations confirmed, It IS generally conceded
that he has lost the partys confidence. One OF the
most important appointments which he has made
for the last twelve months is that OF SANTA ANNA
as COMMANDMENT. Chief of the army Of Mexico 1t
is said that he cannot get majority Of the Senate
to confirm this nomination The appointment,
however. is already made and SANTA ANNA may,
like some other Loco Focos when they once get
into power. d" hold over" refer TO this matter as
coming before the Senate, because al important
appointments By the President ere null and void
after time, unless by advice and consent OF the
Senate. 1t is put down as furnishing AID ana
comfort 20 the enemy 20 question the prcpuety Of
ANYTHING recommended in the last annual Message
1t is therefore broadly nsinuated that all who OPP
pose the confirmation of Mr. Folks appointment OF
SANTA ANNA as leader of the Mexican iorces' VIII
be put down as no better than L ederal traitors
question will be raised whether this, beng AN al
fair properly speaking of Foreign Rddti0Hs'
will not require two thirds 10 confirm as It does 10
ratiy treaty Great interest VIII be iet through
out the country 90 know how this vote VIII stand.
IL is suppos ed that many Loco Foco Senators would
vote against the nomination, but as the king can
do no wong they are afraid OF being called and
ers cumorters and traitors. To satisfy public curl
osity. have made out the probable vote by giving
you the Yeas and Nays on the conirmatlono OF SAN
IA ANNA IN the senate. | give the Neas on the
belief that those who support his measures gene
rally will stick at nothing " night or wrong
YEAs-Messrs Allen, Aiherton, Bsgy, Benton Breeze,
Bright Cass. Chalmers, Coquitt Dickinson Dix AZ

Thus you will see that Of the "a Senators present
there are two vacancies p, judging from their
unqualified support Of Mr.. P will vote with Mr..
Polk for santa Annas appointment. They are all
Loco Focos OF course no Wing would vote for
giving our enemies daring leader. There p
ia the negative, all Wings but the two leaders OF
the forlorn hope of 54s 4Oi in Itdlics There are
who like Loco Focoism generally are doubtful, all
Loco Should they vote with the Yeas, which
would be Just like them it would be
tie and then Old Casting Vote would be in his
glory again. Thus YOU will see that the country,
is in danger OF having Santa Anna confirmed,
less we spnng the Baltimore game OF two
thirds upon them ~
