WASHINGTON CITY, Nor. 9th, l:

WASHINGTON CRY, Nov. 9th, 1sio.
In my letter on Saturday gave you information
of what had been informed would be the tone Of
the Message on the three topics of the Tarl6, the
Sub. Treasury. and the Oregon Territory. In ad-
dition to these have been informed that the Mes
sage will contain recommendation TO Congress TO
make provision for the purchase OF the Texas lands
so that the lands may not be brought into the market
in competition with the lands of the United States,
and at lower price, while al the same time Texas
will be furnished with money wherewith TO pay her
debts. l am informed that this will form a promi-
nent feature Of the Message, but think it is hardly
probable that such measure will be sanctioned by
the next Congress. Time will show.
Members of Congress continue to arrive and
there appears every probability that there will be
quorum here on the 1st proximo. General Cass ar
rived here yesterday morning and put up at Cole
mans Hotel bat did not put his name on the books
as he did not want to have it known that he was
here.
Senator ALLEN. Of Ohio has been here for week
and is trying to play the big man. He is filled with
the idea that he is to be the leading man OF the
Young Democracy and was to be seen every day
on the arrival of the cars watching for the arrival of
new members and catch them by the button to eau
Gus with them and impress them with the idea of his
superlative greatness.
