DooRKEEPER AND POSTMASTER.
The election of Messrs MarstOn as dOOrkeeper,
aud Lucas as Postmaster was cOnsummated hand
somely to-day, despite malicious m representations
of venal scribblers, whom fe Republicans improp-
erly countenance, and other unfounded statements
that were circulated by more responsible sources,
which temporarily ulisled few friends. The
whole opposition sprang from the jealousy and
failure of interested objects. In both cases the
majorites were sufficiently decisive and satsfac
tory and gave assurances of ability to carry men
and measures throughout the session. The organi-
cation thus far has completely surprised our Oppo-
nents who, for the first time begin to realize what
the future may bring forth. The Democracy be-
lieved that Mr. Glosbrebner could not be beaten for
Eergeant- at Arms. After that, and with subss-
quent developments, they fear the ides of Novem-
Der.

man, and much more, demonstrating cOncusively
that the Administration distributed its patronage
with exclusive reference to party and personal OBJ
jects, and with a prostitution Of official integrity
such "a was never before witnessed. Messrs. Big
Ter, Florence, SeyerDs, Rice, Wendell, Towers aud
Others have already testified. great deal has
been suppressed, and Mr. Buchanan's letter TO Mr..
Wendell has yet to be produced.
TEXAN VIEW OF THE CONSTITUTION.
Mr.. wigfau of Texas, in a speech to-day, ..ss
serted that though Daniel Webster had been re-
earded IS the expounder of the Constitution he did
not understand It's first principles, and the Fathers
of the Republic were mistaken in thsir theories.
