We are aware that the hig hest compliment if

head of the Federal Post Office Is discharpinU the
oDerous duties OF his Department with singul ar
energy, fidelity and ability. Such, indeed is the.

A CAUTIoN.-Ihe Mr.. Green who came to
washington not long since as the bearer of a
missive from the special (Topekaite) committee
who undertook a REORGANIZATION of the returns
OF the Kansas election of the 4th of January
last, taking upon themselves the duty in that
connection assigned by the Lecompton Con-
vention to General Calhoun is not a member
OF the Democratic party and a supporter of the
Lecompton Constitution, rs alleged by some of
the opposition letter writer's. We have heard
enough of his political antecedents to satisfy
US that jim Lane 4 Co. have had no more
earnest political cO-laborer in the Territory,
than this same Mr.. Green. The object of mis-
representing his politics is, of course, to give
weight with the public to his anti-Lecompton
statements, which they would not have when it
may be known that he is, body and breeches,
Jim Lanes own.
A MIsrAKE.-The idea, not unfreauently
met with IN journals of the day, that Senator
Houston, of Texas, is not at this time acting
with the Democratic party is a mistake. We
understand, from the best possible authority,
that that distinguished statesman is ardently
DESTROYS of the entire success of Mr. Buchan-
ans administration, which, in all the essentials
OF its policy, meets his hearty approval. How
ever attached he may be to the fundamental
idea of the late American party the policy of
changing the naturalization laws-he holds
himself to be as much devoted as ever to the
duty of the defence of the principles and meas
ures of the Democracy on all points not con.
n'c'ng with his views on the naturalization
question. Under such circumstances those
VINO are calculating that be will be found on
my subject in affiliation with the Republican
party do him great injustice and deceive them
