LITCHFIELD; DEC'R ., 1851.

CoKsRrss met on Monday last, and it is officially announced that the Message of the President would be delivered the next day at the usual hour. It is caIcuated to reach New York on Tuesday night and will probably be here before the whole of papers are circulated It is said that the people of the cities show very little anxiety tn get it-presuming that 1t will be mere echo of the at the called session. lift should not be of too unconscionable length, we shall publish it next week.
 There being no officers to elect the Intehgencer of Monday expressesa doubt whether quorum ofmem- bers will be present at the opening of the session.
 Mississippi Election.-The elections for Governor Members of Congress, &c. took place the first week in November. Returns are received from large DOT tion of the State. MT. McNut, the V. B. candidate fo Governor is doubtless elected in consequence of there being two Whig candidates plurality elect ing-as together the Whig vote is 9OoO or 5000 the most. The Whig candidates for Congress, Messrs. Prentiss and Ward have far more than double the number of votes of their opponents, Claiborne and Gholson; but by decision of Congress at the called session, the former will not probably be allowed their sents. It seems that the Governor in July called the people to elect Congressmcn for the special term only; that then writs were issued for another election which has just been held. In the meantime, Con- gress convened-and the question came up whether the Mississippi members entitled to seats for the special term only, during the Congress and decided that they should hold them for the whole two years Messrs C. and G. left Washington, their friends com menced elecdoneerng, found that they were likely to be distanced and gave up the chase, declaring, and inducing their friends of the pary tomake the same declaration that they should hold their seats under the decision of Congress and not trust the matter to the people again. Under these circumstances, 1t is said Messrs Prentiss and Ward will go on to Washington and claim their seats and of course contest those o Messrs. Claiborne and Gholson-with what success, few days will determine.
