think there is majority in tie House disposed
10 pass the bill reported by Mr.. HARDIN with
slule slight alterations. The principal difficulty
is to get it up" This might be cbviated by lay
ing the Texas Question aside for day, now and
then, for the purpose of bringing up and passing
this bill without any material delay to the other
measure, which. however important it may be
dcemed by the ma ,ry in the House, cannot eI

why our City Numbers do not stand forward In
aid Of the measure, but remain entirely silent
The answer is obvious :-BecaUse the People do
not, By public meetings, exhibit any zeal in the
matter. Let not our Representatives, Imagine
that the Pubic are indifferent TO The measure Of
Postage 1t is not so,-Ihe marhiurs are not
