CONFIRMATION of the Nomination of Judge Nelson
The Motires-Attempt to head off President
Polk, &c.


JAMES G. BENNETT, ESQ.,


The nomination of Judge Nelson, OF NewYork.
as an associate Justice of the Supreme Court of
the United States, was confirmed to-day by the
Senate. You will remember that the Judge was
the recent candidate OF one Of the wings OF the
democratic party in your Legislature for United
States Senator against Mr. Dix, and received
forty odd votes. 1t is therefore presumed by some
that his nomination has been forced through at the
present moment in order to trammel the election
of the President elect in the selection of his ca
binet, and it may be urged that New York has re-
ceived nearly her recent share of political hoaors
by appointments from Executive favor. The in
fnence of Ex-senator Foster, was strongly exer-
cised TO procure the confirmation Of Judge Mel
son. in order to crafty his feelings for defeat in
the election OF Senator, which result will cause
considerable excitement at Albany when an
nounced 1t is to be presumed that Mr.. Foster
will consider his account nearly balanced with his
opponents at Albany, and no doubt they, in re-
turn, will urge this very appointment as an addi-
Buren, should be placed in the cabinet.


1t is possible that either Messrs. Cambreleng
Fasg Butler, will he selectedtas one of the eads
Of deparments-a day or two will determine.


The bill to admit Florida and Iowa into the
Union, as States, was presented in the Senate TO-
day. and referred to the Judiciary Committee by
close vote
