THINGS IN WASHINGTON.
From our Regular Correspondent

wAsz1xcroS. aug 5ta, lS46-litnish;-
The secret do!rrs OF the Senace get more Hlysse-
-ors toward: Tie close OF the session can hardly
say exactly what the subject matter o: discussion
vrs. to-iav but they were IN session III veFy ate
hour. Ii was generally supposed that ule new
Mexican movement was under discussion, out am
inclined TO believe ,ha; !: was the Oregon Treaty
There was Message today sent from the Senate TO
the House OF Representatives: but as the latter
boiy adjourned Tor want OF quorum tue Message
WIS not disposed os I: IS said that It vas very m
2ortant that The House should have acted upon tue
Message today; but what the Message was or what
the House have TO do with the Oregon Treaty IS 70
me mystery.
As Gen. ARMSTRONG arrived today the Message
was undoubtedly presented with the exchanged "a
thcations but should think IL strange II II should
Occupy the Senate so long unless there was Al effort
made 70 have the veil OF secrecy taken from The de-
bates cores ondence, &c. Tomorrow light may
reveal things now hid n darkness.
think Ii ere is doubt OF the truth ofthe -rrors
about proposition - terminate the Mexican W ar.
Whether it comes from Mexico through Mr. PAHEN
HAM. from England through Mr.. PAKESHAM from,
Mexico through Gen. TAYLOR. from Polk per Sc
or how or whence, there IS little DOUBT oil the exs'
tence OF some such proposition
The CRY was some time ago, We shall conquer
peace Now am inclined 70 think the Admins
ration find il easier boast than 10 act anu they
are thinking Of purchasing peace or At least
Numbering a p-ecc-ot Mexico | DO trust Tor the
sake Of humanity that the Mexican eagle will not
f-irhten the Loco-Focos so terribly as the British
lion did dislike 10 see even the meanest crca-
tures tortured.
1t viii be curious thing If before the California
Regiment reaches the place OF is destination. we
should have purchased the land which they were
sent 10 subdue bur it would BE- so like Polk manage
ment! By the way understand thai this regiment
Is TO receive six months pay in advance. Other
claimants on government have been unable 10 ob-
tain their inst dues in a quarter OF a century Some
men are e born 10 GOOD luck but II amt demo-
cratic to favor few at the expense OF the many
The party are dreadtuly troubled about the guam
tity of Democratic measures passed by this Con
gress Democracy IN the mouths OF such men
as are now IN power. was only meant 70 humbuS
the people NOT TO embarass the Government.
Free Trade bills, Sub-Treasury acts. Treasury
Note bills War measures, Volunteer acts, and all
the other brood OF the Baltimore eccalleobon, were
never intended for any practical purpose except TO
deceive the people and elect Young Hickory.
The mistake the party are now making lies III Try
inc TO carry them beyond their original design.
| understand that ci the men who have 20
see that these are put Ill practice declare
that it is impossible Tor them al TO work together
IL is said that the SubTreasUry bill will almost stop
the wheels OF Government II it becomes a law. 1t
has now passed both Houses OF Congress, but 1t is
said there will be an effort made tomorrow TO re-
consider the vote BY which it passed. II would be
funny 10 see the party backing out on this measure
Mt an Executive nod The country and the world
have yet much 20 learn. Let rs observe and con-
