Public Meeting OF the Democracy In the


Park.


CALL very numerousy signed, has been made
tor public meeting of the democracy, IN the Park
TINS afternoon, at O'Clock, to declare their opin-
IONS on the last annexation resolutions passed by
the House of Representatives, now debated by the
Senate. This is the meeting which was postponed
IN consequence OF the recent snow storm. II will
probably be very large meeting, as, we believe, a
considerable degree of effort has been made to
ofing as many together as possible.


The purposes of this meeting, as avowed by the
sgners of the call, have reference merely to the
question OF the annexation of Texas but we do
not see why public meeting of any portion OF the
people, assembled to declare their opinion in the
tion of their Legislators, should be restricted TO
particular question, which affects chiefly oay one
section OF the country. The annexation OF Texas
IS undoubtedly an important question, but is not
the reduction Of the present rates OF postage and
the passage of the bill before the House of Repre-
sentatves, at least equally interesting to the great
mass of the people Probably the postage bill is
more important to the present generation than that
OF the annexation OF Texas; and we think, that if
this meeting should overlook the importance of the
postage question, they would be neglecting one
of the most important duties now devoving upon
the people in their primary assemblies. Let them
do what is proper relation to the Texas question.
Let them declare what their purpose was in elect
ing Mr. Polk. This is all very proper, but we do
beg and entrea of them not to overlook the neces-
sity of the immediate taking up of the subject of
Post office reform in the House of Representatives
SO that this all important and bene6cent measure
may be passed upon at once And if they were to
express their opinion on the Oregon and other mat
tiers, there would be no harm in it.


We trust, therefore, that the meeting to be held
this afternoon will not pass over without decla-
ration OF opinion on questions of equal Importance
to the annexation of Texas, which now demand
the consideration of the House of Representatives
We shall endeavor TO give full report of the
proceedings tomorrow
