WASHINGTON, Jan. 2, l845.
Caucus on characterization from Mexico, &c.
JAMES G. BENNETT, ESQ.,


The caucus Of democratic members meets this
evening, but from what can learn, the commit
tee will not present any plan that will be adopte d.
A jontresolution annexing Texas, will probably
pass the House, but the selfish, narrow. minded
partizan character Of certain politicians in the Sc
nate, will defeat the accomplishment of the mea-
sure under the present administration.


The news from Mexico, received through the
Herald this morning, has caused much speculation.
If Santa Anna is defeated, Mexico will assent 70
annexation most readily, although | was shown
letter to-day from that country, that presents the
same views heretofore communicated by me--that
ls, that Santa Anna originated the revolt against
himself by intrigue, in order todefeat it, as he sup.
posed forthwith, and then assume dictatorial pow
er, and abolish the Congress. Also, that there
was secret understanding between Santa Anna
and Paredes, that induced the latter to attempt
the movement. These speculations are from a
Mexican source, but results look as though they
were without foundation.


The proceedings Of to-day will be found under
their regular head. Nothing was done, however,
except the adoption OF resolution to print the re-
port OF the Select Committee on Rhode Island af-
fairs, and the discussion Of the land bill to regulate
the sales OF public lands In accordance with the
time they have been in the market.
