Tie great ehurucieristic of a'“test datll’’ is its
niiplietilid.it to.the purpnso of asccritiining and
Coercing' religious belief: and this it seeks to
eticct, by proscribing tliose wlio xvonld not, or
cp'uld'n'ot swear ip’their belief in some proposed
roligiotts creed. Tlio “ corporation and' lest
acts” of Greut liriiuin furnished u conspicuous
example. '

' The Post Office Department continues to
excite much speculation. I cunnot perceive
Mowlt IS"to bo relieved from its difficulties.—
Great opposition will bo made, and Hum ap
pearances successfully, made, to tho payment
of the batiks the money borrowed from.tliem
by tlte Post Master General, without tho au
thority of law. It is contended, by many
members, that if thoy were to appropriate mo
ney to pay these loons; it would be acknowl
edging the principle, that the bead of any de
partment might cry out, “ l take the respon-
SibilUy,” and burrow millions, pledging tlie
government for ihe'payment of them. On
tnc whole, die prospect is, that Congress will
ir " not make an appro'priajion to pay these loans,
■ during their present sesssion; and it is to be
ln feared, thill nothing wiUhe done to'remove any
portion of tlio embarrassment of the depart
ment before Jurio^or. July. ' ' '

in Congress is prei)tlcing, by uti ocpurreriec,
which f wiil now stato, arid which I know to
be'true. After Mr. Van Bureri'had expressed
