The Rochester american says So" The only whig
news afoat is that Mr.. Thurlow Weed sat up all
night in the summer of lS4l, and saved the Union
by manufacturing public opinion which secured
the confirmation Of Hon. Edward Everett as Minister
to England. The Tribune is inclined to think that
Mr.. Clay had something to do with that m after.

political history at this particular time, Is not given
This extract refers to strange, rambling and jun
bled account given in the Albany Journal, protes-
stances of the confirmation Of Mr.. Everetts n0nina-
ton as Minister to England in lS4l. The history Of
the affair Is in the peculiar style OF the editor OF the
J0urnal-full of egOtism and absurd exaggerati0n
Of the part he performed in the busines-blunderng
and inaccurate in ali the material facts and abound
ing in illogical nfererces and instinct throughout
with the moet ludicrous msc0ncepti0n Of the infu-
ences under which such men as composed the Senate
of the United States twelve years ago, were accus-
toned to act. The editor says. in substance, that
be prevented the rejection Of Mr. Everett by nanu-
featuring pubIic opinion" and bringing it to bear
upon the Senate: But as we intend nothing but

So confused and unreliable is Mr.. Weeds recollec-
ton, that be ante dates the affair twelvemDnth,
and speaks OF Mr.. Everett's confirmation as having
taken place before Gen. Harrison was elected, and
while Mr. Van Buren, was President of the United
States. This, however, ID a triling matter too in
considerable to mention, except tbat 1t tends to Illus

Those who are acquainted With the circumstances
OF the confirmation Of Mr. Everett-the events that
preceded and attended the final action of the Senate
cannot fail to admire the hardibood of the editor Of
the Journal in putting forth statement so directly
in conflict with the ia It's OF the case The truth is
the nomination of MIR. Everett was concurred in on
the last day of the session September ID, 1S41-by
vote OF % to 10; and his confirmation was owing
to the adroitness Of his friends who took advantage
Of the absence of several Senators that were sure to
have voted against him. Mr. Clay was q sincere and
earnest supporter of the nomination from the begin
ming He never hesitated for one moment; and
those who know his character Will not require to be
told how incredible it is, that upon question which
be esteemed SO important he could have wed
purpose TO give silent vote. He spoke on all con-
siderable questions during that session, and almost
always With astonishing power and effect. He made
an impressive speech pending the nomination.
