MR.. HANNEGAN'S APPOINTMENT

See the revelations Of the Boston Atlas and the letter
of Mr.. Webster touching the nomination and confirmation
of Mr.. flanagan. The appointment, must say was
disgracefu to both parties. We cannot for moment
suspect that the present Administration will regard it
valid, under the circumstances of lis Procurement
and consummation. 1t was, in fact, a dirty fraudulent
trick, this, the very last, act of Mr. Folks Adminsira
ton, committed TOO, when, according the doctrine for
which he commended he had constitutional riaht to per-
form any Executive act. 10 commission Mr. Hannegan
would be almost connvance at fraud and lrckery and
hope consideration Of false delicacy Or magnanmi
ty will induce the Amnstra do it, Decent respect
for the public morals frbds the act. We trust ere this
Mr.. Clayton has notified him that his appointment has
been cancelled There is necessity to recall him-he
has not been commissioned and is therefore entitled
neither outfit salary. we verify believe tie records
of the country may be searched vain for raalle 10
the Shameless indecency Of Ibis appointment.

TnE WORSHIP OF NATURE.

BY ). O. WHITTIER.
The ocean l6oke,h up 10 heaven,
As 'twere living hing;
The homage oil It's waves is gwen
In ceassless worshipplnS.
They kneel upon the slopIng saho'
As bends the human knee
A beautiful and lireless oano-
The priesthood of the sea.
They pour their sliuering treasures Out
Which in The deep grave birth,
And chaunr their awful hymns about,
The watching hills OF earth.
The green earth sends its incense up
From every mountain snrine-
From every flower and dewy cup
That greete,h The sunshine.
The mists are lifted from the rllls'
Like The white wing OF prayer
They lean above the ancient pii'''
As doing homage there.
The forest-,ops are lowly cast
Der breezy hill and eien,
As IL prayerful spiril. pass'o
Der all the homes Of men.
The clouds weep DER the fallen world,
Fen a. repentant love;
Ere, &c the blessed breeze unfurieo,
They fade in ligh. above.
The sky is as temple arch
The blue and wavy air
Is glorious in the spirit march
Our messengers al prayer.
The Gentle moon, the kindly sun,
The many stars are given
Az shrines to burn EARNS incense Oh
The altar fires OF heaven.
