WASHINGTON, Dee. 6, lS43
am able now to say to you, confidently, that the
Message is very well received here at Washington.
II gives special satisfaction to the South. II has
been said by some M. C.'s, that no message for
twenty years has given general satisfaction. I
should think it would be popular. look upon it AS
now settled finally, that Van Buren, will be the Bal
tmore nominee. -Four to seven, probably five TO Sc
ven, that Clay is next President. Pretty certain
that Tyler will oppose the election of Van Bu-
rem as far as he cam and yet keep within the demo-
cratic fence. 1t is also pretty certain that Tyler
will much prefer the election of Clay to Van Buren,.
Certain that Tyler is governed by self-nterest,
and not by alta. hment TO the democratic party, as
party Therefore, that he will prefer the election
Of Clay because the election of Van Buren, is death
to his prospects Of political advancement, while the
election Of Clay viii destroy Van Buren,, and clear
the course for seepe chase In 1Si9 1t is certain
also that Tyler will regard the favorable reception
OF his present message by the people, as strong
ground of hope for the next Presidency, whenever
he shall take the course for run. Pretty certain
that he will not allow his name to go before the
Baltimore Convention-preter to be fresh morse
in 40.
Pretty certain that Webster will lend bare
quantum svtfct support and no more, to elect Clay;
But think Webster is in pretty dense tog A tall
events, find no one here who seems to know any
thing about him. On the whole, Think VIII strike
out Webster.

Gas MoNoPoLY.-We have received number
Of complaints recently from various quarters, sta
ting the exorbitant charges which the gas company
make, and from which there is no relief no reduc-
ton, and no mode of avoiding. And we believe
that it is quite true that this company have been
lately gradually increasing their charges without
any visible reason and ascrbing it entirely to what
they call their gas meters. 1t is full time that this
system of extortion practsed on the community by
this company should be examined. Let all consul
mers who have heretofore been completely at their
mercy, hold general meeting at early day, and
in the mean time be fully prepared with substan-
tiated facts, such as a relative statement of the
charges here and in other cities, and the equitable
rates, in order that after the public meeting the
whole subject may be presented to the Legislature
for its action 1t lsworse than useless TO trfe any
longer with this Company. II they do not fulfil
with strict justice and impartiality the conditions
OF their charter Of Incorporation let it be at once
annulled. We trust to see public meeting of
the gas consumers n a very few days

PRICES OF BREAD.-Why is it that the price of
bread in this city remains high, whilst the price
-four has become much reduced Into whose
pockets go all the extraordinary profits! We re-
collect very well, about three or four years ago,
when flour was from nine to eleven or twelve dol
lars barrel, the price of bread was nearly the
same at present. 1t is surely worth while to in
quire into this. How we have flour so low as four
or five dollars barrel, and yet we have no reduc-
ton in the price Of bread, or improvement of its
quality.
