Our readers must not fall into the error of
surprising that this decision by the Senate set
ties the Texas question. 1t mseHles it, on the
contrary, apparently beyond the possibility of
its being determined at the present session OF
congress. It's hardly possible that the House
of Representatives, with one-half of all the bus
mess of the session in its hands untouched, can
again reach "A question which, once taken up,
will leave for other business no remainder of
the session. But, should the question be reach.
cd, it is still less within the compass of proba-
bility that the amendment made by the Senate
will receive the sanction of the House. The
Joint Resolution passed. by chance that chance
can hardly again recur.
We could have wished, indeed, that the
sanctity of the Constitution, and the rights o.
the Senate, had been vindcated by that body
itself; but there is consolation in the reflection
that, i'll the checks and balances of the Gov
eminent, and especially of each House of Con
gress upon the other, a compensation is some
times happlyto be found, and may be hoped
to be found in this case, for the confusion of the
senses under which bodies even so elevated a!
the Senate of the United States somtimes stray
from the path of right and duty.
