 1he Post OGiee Department appoint mentof a select committee, on the part of the Senate, to examine into, and report upon the condition of the Post Office Department, is a proceeding, so far as we can learn, without d precedent. The accidental majority of the mi hoTity, (eight members being absent, and the effort made by the opposition to elect select committee by ballot, have induced a belief, on the part ot some, that the movement was of a partisan character, and that the object was to reach the private al confidential eorrespon- dence oi the Department, under it belef that 1t contains much which will sustain the charge Of political partiality. We are of those who be- lleve, that the Department has been well ad- mustered; and that a fair, and full examination oi all its details, will be highly satisfactory to a candid and impartial committee; and that it is fortunate that the extraordinary novel procee- ding has been instituted. We know not what are the objects which the honorable member upon whose motion the committee was eonsti- tuted. has in view nor do we know how far the pflvate correspondence of the Department may be subjected to his scrutiny; but all who will re fleet for moment, must know, that much of the correspondence of the Department is strictly confidential, and that it's publication will be as much violation of private faith, and as highly improper, as the publications of any other con deatial correspondence. Frequent examna- tons into the fiscal concerns and the general ad ministraton of the Department, are highly pro- per; but it would seem that, irasrnuoh. as in case of the detection of any inpropricty, call ing for an Impeachment, that the proceeding must begin with the House of Representatives. the investigation, in the first place, should or- gihate with a committee of that body, rather than of the Senate, who are to act as judges, in the event of an Impeachment. In tic case before Us. we presume that no such event is contemplated. We are confident that the in- investigation will be highly crcdtabie to the Department. Our object is not 10 complain o! the proceeding, but 10 show its irreguarity.

 In the case of George Tassclls.

The governor made it the subject of 2 special message to both branches, asking to be clothed with such especial power as thseysmiaht eecrn requisite, to protect the state in the exer else of jurisdiction within its limits, in criminal Cases; and the two houses, almost unanimously resolved that they would never so far compro- mt tNe sovereignty of the state, as to become t party to the case sought to be made before the Supreme court of the U. States by the writ in question; and all the means and farce of the state are placed at the disposal of the governor who IS enjeined, as well as every other officer. to disregard and resist it.
