We would advise a colony of these same working

opportunity which promises a good wife.

The Washington correspondent of the N. 0. Pica-
yune, under date March 13th, writing in reference to
Gen. Taylor, says ;
It is now pretty well decided
1. Not to make any appointments of consequence as
long as the Senate is in session, except those which
are required by the constitution.
2. To make but few appointments during the recess
of Congress, and in general to wait for the expiration
of commissions.
3. Not to disturb any oflicer. whd is honest and
capable, who has not taken a decided and active part
in politics.
Mr. Clayton has already declared that he will inake
no changes in the jtci'sonel of the State Department,
and as yet not a single clerk in any department of tiie
Government has been removed.
Mr. Collamer, the new Postmaster General has de-
clared that none of the officers of his department shall
be disturbed, if he be efficient, and that no political
gage should be applied to their respective persons.
Among the great enterprizes of the day claiming

hazard of roun3ing Cape Florida, the most dangerous
on the American coast.
The Notional Intelligencer, in describing the inau
gnral ceremonies, Ihus speaks-of the appearance of the
Senate Chamber oh the 5th March:
The scene presented by tho interior of the Senate
Chamber was highly impressive. It would be difficult
in this or any other country, to find a spot Avhich in-
cluded in the same space, mo re pi distinction, whether
we attach to that term the mere-elevation of place and
of position in human society, or that truer elevation
which is the prerogative of men born ..great by the
gifts of God. Look which way one would, there was
food for the-eye and for tho-mind.
To ghTe to the fairer sex the precedence which be-
longs To them, wesny; in the first place, that the semi-
circular gallery, reserved for the exclusive use of the
ladies, was filled to overflowing long before the gath-
ering of gentlemen privileged to occupy seats on the
floor of the chamber. The coup d'asil, as the eye
glanced along the bank of female faces, ruined as in
nn ampnhoalref amid the tustling of silks, and the end-
less flutter of a thousand fan? was calculated to date
the pride "of an American jealous of the fame of his
countrywomen. A few, a very few. were admitted to
the senatorial seats upon the flor, among whom we
noticed the fair and graceful lady of M. Bodssco.
The Diplomatic Corps were next announced, and
presented, on their entree, the usual imposing spec t a
cle, created by so numerous a body of f&e-Iookinjr
men, -arrayed in that most gorgeous costume which
European usage has assigned to these representatives
of national Sovereignties. W see, in this country, so
little of this sort of display, that when, on great stale
occasions, it does appear, it is sure to draw all eyes.
At the head of the corps was M. Bulisco, whose well-
known figure, erect, military, and covered with glitter-in-order---,
attracted the notice of all observers. . There
was the representative of the German States, a com-
posed and sage-looking man. with large epaulctts and
rather plain uniform.
Next to him was seen the round, gentlemanly, be-
nevolent countenance of Mous. Caldeion, the worthy
minister of the ancient monarchy of Spain, a striped
ribband crossing his breast and well becoming his
portly person, A striking contrast to the embroidered
splendor of some of his neighbors, Belgian and Mex-
ican, (as we believe,) was tho comparatively under-
rated figure of our old friend M. Poussin, whose irlossy
hair, piercing eagle oye, and ardent manner ecu Id not
be mistaken. The corps is now quite numerous, and
filled a double row of seats on the left of the Chair.
Their brilliancy appeared in fine contrast with the
dark robes and grave law faces of the judicial body,
seated opposite to them.
Yice-President Dallas had for some time been seen
in the chamber, easily designated by his snowy hair
and upright gentlemanly figure. Tic occupied a seat
in front uf the Secretary's table, and facing the scats
of the Senators. By his side sat a preceding Vice-President,
Col. Richard M. Johnson, whose reminiscences
were possibly runniug back to the good old days of the
Jaeksonian reign, but who seemed to look very good-
naturedly upon all before him.
The last scene in the ceremony, is thus described
by the Intelligencer.
Followed by a vast concourse of people, the Presi-
dent entered the mansion which he is henceforth to
inhabit, and there received, with his accustomed court-
esy, the salutes of some thousands of persons, passing
in Ion"- array in front of him, taking the ladies each
by the hand a ceremony which, from their jrrcat num-
ber, it was not possiblcfor him to go through with the
multitude of the other sex.
It is a circumstance as pleasing to relate as it is sur-
pnsing, that, in so multitudinous a throng, on foot, on
horseback, and in carriages, no incident of any kind is
known to have occurred to mar the general enjoyment
of the occasion.

T;! dtoSTiTaiio:3,
BY THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF TEXAS.
Whereas, by a joint resolution of the last session of the State Le-
gislature, approved March 14, 184K, a certain amendment lo the
(JuDMlittuiun of the State is proposed ; which joint resolution is in
the words and figures following, to wit:
"Joint Resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of
the Slate of Texas.
."SncnoTTl. Be it resolved by the Legislature of the Slate of
Texas, That the Constitution of the State of Texas, be so altered
of the General Land Oifiee, shall, at the expiration of their respect-
ive terms- of otiice, or in case a vacancy may occur in either of
them, by death, resignation, or otherwise, alter tiiis amendment
takes effect, and thereafter, bs elected by the qual.fied electors of the
Slate in the manner prescribed by law.
" Sec. 2. Be it further resolccd, That the election for District
Judges and District Attorneys shall be confined to their respective
Disirict.
'Skc 3. Be it further resolved, That the Governor caue this re-
solution to be duly puplished in the public prints of the State at
least three months before the next general election for representa-
tives ol the State Legislature'
And whereas, the thiily-scvenlh section of the" General Provis-
ions of the Constitution provides as follows:
" Sectio:.-37. The Legislature, whenever two-thirds of each
House jdull deem it necessary, may nronost? amendment u, ti.5
Constitution ; which proposed amendments shall be duly published
in the public prints of the State, at least three months before tie
next general election of Representatives, for the consideration i
the people ; and it shall be the duty of the several returning officers,
at the next election which shall be thus holden, to open a poll lor
and make a return to the Secretary of State, of the names of ail
those voting for Representatives, who have voled on such proposed
amendments; and if, thereupon, it shall appear tbat a majority of
all the citizen.-, of this St.ite, voting for Representative--, have voted
in favor of such proposed amendments, and two-think of cadi
Mouse of the next Legislature shall, after such election, and before
another, ratify the s.une amendments by veas and nays,, ihev shall
be valid to all intent and purposes, as pans of this Constitution:
provided, that the said proposed amendments shall, at each of the
said sessions, have been read on three several days, in each House."
Now, therefore, I, Gkohoe T. Wood, Governor of the S:atc of
Texas, do, hereby, in pursuance of the requirements of the'iaw and
the Constitution, order and direct that the above rccitrd joint reso-
lution be published in the public prints of thi-s State, for the considc-i.-.tion
ol the people, at least three months previous to the next gene-
ral eke ion tube held throughout this State, on the first Monday
(the six'h day) of August ensuing. And I do further order and di-
icct the Chief Justices of ihe several counties (and in case of va-
cancy in the office of Chief Justice, or the inability of that officer to
act, then any two of the Comity Commissioners) to cause polls to
be opened at the several precincts in their respective counties, on
the said first Monday (the sixth day) ol August next, and the votes
of all those voting for Representatives in the State Legislature, to
be taken for and against the adoption of the said proposed amend-
ment. The Chief Justices of the several counties, (and in case of va-
cancy in the office of Chief Justice, or the inability of that officer to
act, then any two of the Conntv Commissioners.) will return to the
Secretary of State, complete lists of the names of all those voting
Tor Representatives, m the Legislature; which lists must show who
voted for and who voted against Ihe said proposed amendment, as
well as the names of those who did not vote at all upon the question,
as a majority of the whole number of votes can for Representatives
throughout the State seem? to be contemplated as necessary to an
amendment of the Constitution.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand,
and caused the great seal of the State to be affixed!
