THE PLATFORM SMASHED Both Houses of the
present Locofoco Congress have passed the River
and Harbor bill by large majority. In the Senate
the Democratic vote was about equally divided on
the final vote Among those voting in the afFrma-

leaders Of the party
Now, what doesthis contempt Of the platform mean
Is the bill passed now, because if Pierce should be
elected it would be vetoed, although Democratic
measure? Or is it passed with the intention Of
pleasing all parties, by referring anti-internal inn

improvement Democrats to the action Of the party.

In reference to the appointment of Hon SAMUEL
d. HUBBARD to succeed that excellent gentleman
and officer Mr.. HALL in the Office of Postmaster
General, the e Republic" after speaking in terms
of just commentator of the character and principles
Of Mr.. HUBBARD, adds the following:
But there is one circumstance attending this
affair Which cannot fail to afford great satisfaction
to the Vino party throughout the country, and
which rejects high honor on the PREsIpENT. Mr..
HUBBARD was a delegate to the late Wing Ma
tional Convention at Baltimore, and was one Of
the two Delegates from Connecticut who voted for
Gen. ScoTT throughout, though holding in high
estimation the claims of the other eminent citizens
whose names were before that body. The PREsI-
DENT is restrained by many paramount consdera-
tons from interfering with the pending canvass
but, by the appointment Of Mr.. HUBBARD, he has
made known, in a manner as delicate as it will be
effective, his desire for the reunion and harmony of
the Wing party. He viii find that there are many
thousands Of those prompted TO favor the nornina-
ton Of Gen. ScoTT (by views and motives which
did not detract in the least from the high estimate
which the country will ever place on his Admins
tration and public services) who will be ready to
reciprocate the generous policy which he has pur-
Z sued in placing Mr.. HUBBARD at the head Of the
L Post Office Department"

We learn from the I" Union" of yesterday that,
in secret session of the Senate, the nomination Of
e. A. BRADFORD, of Louisiana, to be Judge of the
Supreme Court of the United States, in the place Of
Judge MCKINLEY, deceased, was taken up and laid
on the table.
This is precisely after the pattern of the worst
days of the Democracy, when all propriety was set
at defiance in the Senate by laying the table the
nomination by President ADAMS of the present At
torney General CRITTENDEN to be Judge of the
United States in order to drive the appointment up
to the coming Administration, hoping that it would
be Democratic one.
We also learn from the g Union that the nom-
nation of Gen. JAMES WILSON, of New Hampshire,
Commissioner of Land Claims in California, was
rejected; and also that of JEROME FULLER, of New
York, as Judge of the District Of Minnesota.
We have also information, from the same source,
that g many nominations were necessarily permitted
to lie.over." We presume that at the next session
of Congress, when the election of President SCOTT
shall have been ascertained, they will be "permit-
ted to be acted upon.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER ;, 1851

We give up a large portion of this weeks paper
to the publication of the Proceedings of the last
three days of the late session Of Congress, to list
of the Acts passed during the session. and to some of
the Laws themselves, (the publication of the whole
of which will be completed in succeeding numbers)
among the latter will be found the Act which usually
goes by the name Of the General Appropriation
Law, This single Act includes by far the most i'm
portant part Of the Legislation of the late Session.
SO far as money is concerned. More than ever be-
FORE this bill has absorbed avariety of objects here
tofore considered fit only for distinct consideration
and specific legislation. This comes of wasting
away eight months of the session in bootless debate
and driving final action in every thing Of conse-
|quence into the last few days of the session So
severe was the pressure that even by holding con-
ferences on the Sabbath, the committees themselves
after all their abors, will not have been able to
learn, until they get hold Of this and other appro
pration acts, as officially published, precisely what
has been enacted into law. lt J4aatas
1t can hardly be necessary for US, under such
circumstances to recommend to our readers to scan
closely the provisions Of this act, and particularly
the miscellaneous clauses of it. We have not been
able to do SO ourselves before sending it out to the
Public, but shall probably have something to say
upon the subject on some other day. @
