The New Postmaster General.

The Senate having confirmed the nomina-
ton of Hon. NATHAN X. HALL as Judge for
the western district of New York, he immedi-
ately resigned the situation of POSTMASTER
GENERAL, which he has filled with so much
advantage to the country and with such dis
tinguished ability since the accession of Mr..
FILLMORE to the Presidential Office where
upon the PRESIDENT nominated Hon. SAM
,UEL d. HUBBARD, Of Middletown, CoHnecti-
cut, to Hi the vacancy thus created, which met
the assent and ready acquiescence Of the Sen
ate. Mr.. HUBBARD, like Mr.. HALL, is q tho
rough-going business man, possessing strong,
vigorous mind, and character for honor and
rectitude which no one can doubt or ques-
ton. He represented the second Congress
sonal district of Connecticut in the 10Th and
Both Congresses, and was at the latter placed
by Mr.. Speaker WiNriIRoP on the Committee
of Ways and Means, of which he proved a
highly valuable member. There was no man
in the House whose opinions on financial ques-
tions and business matters generally were re-
ceived with more respect or had more weight
with the members. But there is one circum
stance attending this affair which cannot fail
to afford great satisfaction to the WHIe party
throughout the country, and which reflects
high honor on the PRESIDENT. Mr.. HUBBARD
was delegate to the late Wing National
Convention at Baltimore, and was one of the two
delegates from Connecticut who voted for Gen
eral Scorr throughout, though holding in high
estimation the claims of the other eminent cit-
zens whose names were before that body The
PRESIDENT is restrained by many paramount
considerations from interfering with. the pend
ing canvass; but, by the appointment of Mr.
HUBBARD, he has made known, in manner as
delicate as it will be effective, his desire for
the reunion and harmony of the Wing party.
He will find that there are many thousands of
those prompted to favor the nomination of Gen
eral SCOTT, (by views and motives which did
not detract in the least from the high estimate
which the country will ever place on his Ad-
minissration and public servces,) who will be
ready to reciprocate the generous policy which
he has pursued in placing Mr.. HuBBARD at the
head of the Post Office Department.
