Count DOrsay.-" He lodged last night at the
fremont House, and this morning set out for Ca.
NADIA via the Western Railroad. The Count
would be recognized at once by any ono who has
seen the full length sketch of him published in
Frazer's Magazine. He is tall and strongly but
elegantly built; his features, however, and hands,
are small to effeminacy, and his countenance, it
must be confessed, shows traces of age.-Bos,on

The Locofoco members Of Congress who ex-
pressed such holy horror at the caucus meetings
of the Wings when they had majority of the
House, will hold caucus, we understand, this
evening, to settle upon the candidates TO be sup
ported for speaker, clerk, &c, Of the House.
Will the Calhounlmen gointoit! We shall see
if they do, doubtless the meeting will be most
harmonious and orderly one. There will, Of
course, be no difference Of opinion no refusal TO
bow TO the will Of the majority Will Mr..
Wilkins acknowledge the sovereignty of King
Caucus? We rather surmise that the Van Bu-
rem men do not catch him in that pit-fall nor
will they trap the Calhoun men in that syringe.
We understand the Van Buren men only want
two, according TO their own count, of having a
majority of the whole number of members
elected; if so, they will most likely have every
thing their own way, as it is not probable all the
Wings will be present at the organization Of the
House. And even if they We're, would il be po-
licy for them TO interfere between the two sec
tons of the harmonious Democracy z"

THE GLOBE came out yesterday with eight
close columns Of what it called "reminiscences.
We have hastily run our eye over this mass Of
matter, and find that it proves nothing particu-
larly, excepting the fact, that the quondam off,
cial has always been held in very bad repute by
the Wings. If this fact is TO avail it now, in
the election of printer to the House, considering
the hundreds of thousands that it has already
received from the party" it may well have
said of what it has republished, "hGc olim me-

Another Rally Another blast of the great
Clay bugle was heard last night at the City Hall.
The Hon. GAgRET DAVIS, Of Kentucky, arrived
about one o'clock yesterday, and as it would not
be possible for him TO remain until tomorrow,
the meeting was called for last evening, and ne
cessarily without sending information as far into
the country as was desirable. The president Of
the Clay Club took the chair al six o'clock-the
hall well filled with true Wings. His introduc-
tion of Mr.. DAVIS to the audience was very happy
and appropriate, and that gentleman was re-
ceved with The most enthusiastic cheers. His
address occupied about two hours, and was re-
plete with sound argument, ready wit, and most
cheering anticpations. The leading principles
Of the Wings were clearly stated and ably sus-
tained. When he closed the old hall rung again.

TEXAS-TEIE ADMINISTRATIONS -SPRIN-
GES FOR WOODCOCk.

For some weeks past the whole burden of the
annexation of Texas, the danger of British in
reference in Texas, the abolition of slavery in
Texas, &C., &c. He must have but little pene-
tralion who cannot perceive that all this ado
about Texas, and the great alarm feigned lest
England should obtain possession Of that coun-
try, and abolish slavery there, has no other OBJ
iect than to set the Wings Of the North and the
South to discussing the proposition of annexa-
ton, and thus creating divisions among them.
Doubtless Mr.. Tyler and his advisers would be
reioiced to set the Van Buren men by the ears
upon this question also; but they are wary,
cautious set Of men, and will take care how they
put their fingers into any such trap We hope
the Wings will manifest equal sagaci,y and pru-
dence, but we confess we have somewhat less
confidence in their chariness than we have in
,nat Of their opponents. But sometimes to see
danger is to avoid it, We hope to see no pro-
position in regard to Texas either brought for
ward or debated by the Wings during the pre-
cent session. There is no necessity for it. The
accounts of British interference in the affairs of
Texas, and Of Houston's reasonable designs,
which the Madisonian has been blowing such
an alarming blast about, appear now to have
been wholly unfounded, and have ended in
smoke, leaving the Administration looking ex-
tremely silly and ridiculous.
