si9ppIs,g lie yflssal on SosSS1lay There are al- ready I.idlcationstaa great efforts arc to be be nlaae, at fi.c present. session oi congress, to arrest the progress ot the mall on Sunday. The New \ ork Evening Post thus alludes to the sub ject:

 :. The secular journals, its true, give no to- kens oi any preparations for this purpose; the friends of the measure do not appeal to the public through that medium. sNc must look for 1t in the religious newspap apers, xtensyely cifcu= lated through the community, and in the pro- ceedings of ecclesiastical assemblies, The ln1q- ence which those exercise over q very consider able portion of the community is exceedingly strong, and the concert of opinion and acton they produce, k scarcely equalled by the strict est discipline of political parties in times when party spirit is most jealous and ieryent. The opposers of Sunday mails, certainly have the ad- vantage in organization aud zeal, circumstances that will enable them to make appearance of strength; while on the other side, greatly su- peror as 1t IS in numbers, the feeling on the question is rather q negative one, a disineiina- ton to disturb all ;lrrangemnnt manilestiy mat ter of public necessity"

 The National G zette of Philadelphia con- menting on the above, recommends to the men- bers of Congress an article on the subject, eon taincd ill the fifteenth number of the American Quarterly Review. Exception may be taken to the theological part of the article, apart from the question ot the mails; but that question specially is argued in way which few unpreju- diced readers e3n resist. Congress cannot en- certain the subject in a religious or theological point of view.
