HANNEGAN's NOMINATION. The manner
in which this act has been consummaed, is not
less dsreputable than the act itself. We under.
stand that there were but seventeen Senators
present, when the nomination was received, and
only sixteen when it was confirmed, not one
third OF the Senate committee had gone to
the President to inform him that the Senate was
ready to adjourn. 1t was not supposed that any
further business would be transacted, and that It
was only necessary for few Senators to remain
and go through the ceremony of an adjournment
Yet, at seven o'clock on Sunday, seven hours
afterwards, in broad day light, when the rays of
the morning sun had filled the Sena,e chamber,
the nomination OF flanagan was made and con-
hrmed by sixteen Senators out of sxty.-So
scandalous proceeding, we do not hesitate TO
say, has never before disgraced the room in which
it occurred.
Mr. Hannegan's commission has not yet been
made out, and II it ever is, General Taylor will
have made himself responsible for an act, the en-
tire ignominy OF which, we still hope, belongs to
James X. Polk ". Y. Foe. Post.
