CoNGREss.-We have Washington pa
pers to the 18th ult. The discussion on
the Texas question had commenced, and
Messrs. Morehead of KY. and Rives spoken
against annexation. They were replied to
in powerful speeches by Buchanan and
Woodbury.. The bill for the admission of
Florida and Iowa as States had passed fhe
House by large majority.


The Post-office reform bill had not been
acted on in the House.


Col. Polk and Mr.. Dallas arrived on the
18th, and were welcomed with much cor
diality by the Democratic associations and
the citizens, and with .furor of enthusi.
asm by the legions of ofTice-beggars. 1t is
said that there is almost, or quite, one-third
as many of these gentry at the federal city,
as were there at the time of Harrison's in
auguration. This is mortifying fact to the
democracy when it is remembered that the
feds, or wings, have possession of the 60
vernment but once in generation.


The Globe, of the 18th, in alluson to
the rumors as to the Cabinet, says, that ''al
that is yet known is that nothing can be
known"
