PRESIDENT POLK.

President Polk arrived in Washington on Thurs
day evening last, and took apartments at Cole
mans National House, where the politicians have
been visiting him in shoals The Office holders and
efics-seekers are grinning at each other like so
many erisiy bears, and Mr.. Polk doubt begins
TO find his refined and Petriotic notions OF being the
Presiden, OF the People, entirely unsuiled 10 the
atmosphere which now surrounds him and that no
will be compelled to swallow all Of his nice ,ent-
ments at Cincinnati, and come down fTorn bis high
estate to know ledge and acquaintance with the
Democracy. That our readers may see what
prospect Mr., Polk has Of being the President of
the People, invite their attention TO the follow
ing letter flow Washington. The 'harmonous
Democracy" pretending to conduct the Govern.

But little certain progress is made in the seIec-

HOUSE OF DELEGATES.


Mr.. Davis, of o. & G., moved to take up the
resolution for adjournment sine die the 18th
inst.
Mr.. Edmunds, of H., hoped the resolution
would be taken up and adopted. If day was
fixed, we would work harder.
Mr.. Witcher did not believe any good would
come from such resolutions. But if gentlemen
would adopt it, let them determine to adhere TO
IT,
Mr.. Preston thought the Mouse might adjourn
by the 18th; and he therefore had objection to
adopting the resolution.
Mr.. STROLLER did not think that the fixing a
day tended TO hasten adjournment. An act Of
last session (the So billy had fixed about the mid
die of February for adjournment through all time,
and therefore this resolution was entirely useless.
The resolution was taken up. MA
Mr. jackson m we'd to amend the resolution by
substituting Monday the Yah instant for Saturday
the 18th instant. The amendment was accepted.
Mr.. Jackson then called the previous ques-
ton.
Mr. Kidwell, appealed to Mr.. Jackson to with.
draw this call, that farther amendment, propos-
ing more distant day might be proposed.
Mr. Jackson declined dosing so.
The resolution for adjournment sine die on the
l7th was then agreed to.
Election OF State Officers.
The joint order for the election of the lsi and
I'd Auditors, Treasurer Register of Land Office,
Secretary OF State and Librarian, Superintendent
OF the Penitentisry and General Agent was taken
up.
On motion Of Mr.. Brosdus of Culpeper, the rule
Of the House was suspended, 40 as TO make the

Mr. Broadus then nominated the present in.
cumbents:

Secretary Of State s. Libraran--Wm. II. Rich.
srdson.
Superintendent of Penten,isry Charles S
Morgan.
General Asent--Jss. c SPOTS.
Mr.. Broadus of Caroline believed the present
General Agent of the penilentisry was not compe-
tent to the Office. He had not paid cent TO the
Treasury during the past year. He nominated,
as tit and capable man-onc who will make pro-
fit to the State--George r. Peake.
Mr.. Smith would vote for Spots, because he
was a merchant and asuccrssfsl one.
MIR. Fulton Of W.. and Mr.. VERIFY supported the
nomination Of Mr.. SPOTS.
A message was received from the Senate that
they have agreed unanimously the resolution for

IerGS Annexation.

Mr.. Wilcher, on the part Of the Select
Committee to whom the resolutions in re.
lation to the annexation of Texas were
referred, reported That the Committee had
been unable 10 come 10 any agreement,
and asked that they be discharged from
the further consideration Of The subject,
which was agreed to.
Ar. Edmunds Of H., moved TO take up
and consider the resolutions in relation 10
the annexation Of Texas.
The Senate's resolution reads:
Resolved, by the General Assembly Of
| Virginia, That the annexation OF Texas
TO the United States should be effected
with no further delay than may DO ueces.
sary for the accomplishment OF that object,
by the constituted authorities OF the two
countries.
Mr.. Bowers understood that Mr.. Witch
er intended to move an amendment, and
he wished to await i, before he offere d
his.
Mr.. WItcher said tina, his Offering an
amendment would depend on cIrcumstan-
ces. At present he should not.
MIR. Preston hoped the Wings would
make no amendments TO the Senale's res.
olutions. They could consistently sup
port that resolution. 1t retired them TO
the constituted authorities Of the two
countries"
Mr.. Goodson manifested some oppugna-
ton to the Senste's resolution, without
declaring his opposition.
Mr.. Witcher re-urged the recommen
datlons Of Mr.. Preston-lha. the Wings
should offer no amendments TO the SEN
ate's resolution. Let the Wings stand
stiff the other side make any charge,
we would be prepared to meet it..
Mr.. StovalI thought il must De mani.
fest that the Senate's resolution ought to
be modified. Since its passage, the JOINT
resolution had passed the House of Rep
resentatIves, and IT was proper 10 express
our opinions on that.
Mr.. Edmunds Of H., believed that he
could acquiesce in the Senate's resolu.
ton; and leave our Senators to put the
proper construction upon it. ("Agreed,"
by Mr.. Wi,cher.)
Mr.. Lanier gave his views agains, the

The Senate resumed tho consideration of the
Resolutions on the subject of the admission OF

The question pending was the motion OF Mr.
Thompson Of Ksnawhs, TO insist upon the Senate 3
amendments TO the amendment of the House.
Mr.. Standard entered somewhat at large into
argument. founded upon the Constitution itself,
and upon its cotemperaneous hstory-snd con-
tending that the power claimed (to annex for
eign State by joint resolution) was a dangerous
and alarming assumption Of authority; lsttudi
nous construction ofthe Cons titution; and had
never been exercised in this unlimited sense. -
Mr. S. illustrated his position by a variety of
strong views.
MIR. Carter made few remarks, and answered
q question Of Mr.. McMulen on former occasion
in reference 10 Mr.. Jeferson's admission of Louis
lana. MIR. c. quoted another letter Of Mr.. Jeier
son, TO Mr.. Breckenridge, OF Aug. 1903, in which

made no provision for our holding foreign terrific.

Tar Bill.
The bill imposing Taxes for the sup
port of Government, came up as the I'm.
finished business Of yesterday.
Mr.. Stephenson moved to strike out the
clause taxing Printing Presses. Mr.. S.
hoped this tax would be striker out Tor
the honor of the State. Such tax was
not to be found in the tax bill of any 9TH
er Stale. 1t was oppressive and unjust.
Printers paid taxes as every body else
did, and there ives no more proptiety in
taxing their presses than in taxing the
tools Of mechanics. MIR. S. said that
Printers were most merilorious class
and there were no set Of people so poorly
paid for their labor.
MIR. Broadus said this tax had no: orig.
mated with the present committee of Fl.
nance. IL was introduced last year; and
he did not know that it was more unjust
:han a tax upon Lawyers, Doctors, &c.
MIR. Marshall OF F. hoped the mo, on
to strike out would prevail. The tax
amounted 10 nothing less than tax upon
the diffusion Of knowledge.
The motion to strike out was rejected.
The maximum tax on press was then
fixed al $40

Mr.. Kane moved reconsideration of
the vote, some weeks since, postponing
indefinitely the bill 10 construct a road
through the Southwestern Counties ofthe
State. Mr.. Kane had always been in IA

constituents were opposed toit. Since

to correct that error, he now made mo-
ton to reconsider.
