To tie Editor Of the Tribune
Notwithstanding the admirable arrangements OF
the new Post Office. it is like all other new Affairs
iu,perfec,. and capable OF Improvement.

where pale faces now trampe the graves oil lieii

The arrangement FOR having the newspapers 10
bulk at the north end for the purpose OF being assert
ed and mailed is as it should be, and there editors
publishers and others doing wholesale business,
should make their deposites but single newspapers
from individual merchants and others should be re-

The Post master and citizens deserve and receive
congratulations on the great changes which have
been efTec ed Every body ought TO feel his own

and, performing their duties 10 God and man IN
new temples and in new ways, N manner more ac-
cep,able prove that, though the fashion OF the world
passes away, they have not sold nor oarteieo
away true religion, which never changes-and that
necessity of circumstances has caused these
changes.
Thus looking at changes and revolutions, we
sometimes approve and dlsapprove III the same Inc,

SENATE OF V1RGIxA-TExAs.-The principal
| Texas
| Resolutions, as amended in the House by MY
| Wi,cher
Mr.. Wallace moved TO strike out the latter
clause, which waived any expression OF opinion
on the consiitutionality OF Annexation b. Joint
resolution Thus was agreed to, after debate,
ayes 10, noes 9.
Mr.. Thompson of K. offered further TO
amend By declaring, in substance appreciation
of the Joint Resolution, as LAWFUL and CONSTR
TUTloNAL mode of annexation, and one winch
rouid be approved BY the People.
In vain was the authority of Mr.. Jefferson cited
by Messrs Carter and Gallaher, and delay asked
by Messrs Stanard and Caperton, for the purpose
| Of eIicting light on the latter branch. Messrs
Wallace, McMullen and Thompson OF X. con-
sdered the CONSTITUTIONAL point sufficiently clear,
beyond all question, and urged prompt action, IN
which they were sustained by the Senate and
! the Resolutions, in their amended form, were
forthwith sent back 10 the House.
The latter body, being engaged upon the Tax
Bill, did not consider the amendments OF the Sen
ate 10 their amendment on the Texas resolutions.
The subject will doubtless be taken up III the
House today, for probably the Democracy will
consider, as MIR. Wilson OF Botetourt did in reia-
ton to the Erpungs, that the people are SUFFER
ING for action on the subject.

Strict Construction notions Texas is panted,
and the means OF getting it are OF no moment IN
the opinion of the dominant party. Mr.. Jeiier-
sons practice is deemed better than his precept-
and. as he can be found on both sides, the con-
vENGEyr opinion is always most orthodox.
