WASHINGTON, Nov. "a, 1845.


This being Thanksgiving day in the Metropolis, all
the public offices and stores are closed, and the
churches have been filled with their different con-
gregations, and all is quiet as on Sunday The
morning being devoted to religious services the
remainder of the day is passed in doors, as on
ChsIstmas festival and, as is usual in old Mary
land, all families and their branches dine together
and the evening is spent in social visiting and mer-
rymaklng. II is well-there should be one day in
each year, (divested Of any ritual celebrity when
the children of men should come together in their
respective family circles and while uniting in thanks
for the manifold goodness of Providence, cement
by their intercourse, the chain OF love and friend
ship, which is, alas so feeting here on earth.


But very few additional members have arrived
the hotels, and bulletin, for Klng-Caucus to meet
on Saturday night, posted IN the Union of this
day. MIR, Davis friends are very busy and active
in whipping in men for the caucus; but the
battle is not to the swift or the strong
None of the South Carolina members are
yet on the ground, and but few from Virginia
(hough it said from the delegation of the latter
State) not less than four have the mpudence to set
up for the Speakershp: one of them has never had
his nose in Congress Hall, but having beaten Botts
he of course IS entitled to tie char. Every new
member who comes from Virginia is heralded in
advance, with the enbazoniy-spendld talents.-
magnificent acqulreme nis,-unrivalled eloquence


Do not be surprised, If the two-third rule should
prevail in caucus, that tariff man will be elected
speaker, or one who will appoint tariff Commit.
tee of Ways and Means


There is very little talk or speculation about the
coming Message. Every one knows it goes for
Oregon and Sub-Treasury, ana as for the minor
national or local recommendations. they will be
known so soon that perfect Indifference, or no
anxiety is manifested for it.


Many of the democratic members who are here
express themselves desirous of having some
other person than Rtchle for the printer but no one
of sufficient bottom be had to vote for against
him. They would elect Rives on his own hook by
a good majority, but his establishment net being
ready, it is thought he may be obliged to decline,
and then the Ut,,on will have to get it.


The vote for printer in the Senate, is thought to
be very doubtful, but it will fall on either Gales e.
Seaton or Richie IL Helss.


A nerthwester is blowing up, and cold weather is
coming About one hundred and thirty members
are In the city.
