Senator Douglas is to be the guest of the Corporation during his stay among us. The Board discussed at some length the action of the Joint Committees on Accounts. Some members were of the opinion that the committee's labors wore of very little importance. A motion instructing the committee to report on Wednesday noxt was finally adopted.

The Programme of the Message, and the Prospects of the Present Congress. The Prosident’s Message comprehends a whe dule of movemeuts and measures on the part of Congress, tonching our foreiga and domestic af- fairs, come of the gravest moment, aud uthers of the most urgent uecessity. Prominent in this catalogue are his recommendatioas:— 1. For a modification of the tariff, 20 as to in- crease the revenues of an exhausted treasury, and comprehending the policy of specific duties upon iron and other articles, in view of some in- cidental protection to home maunfactares. 2. A unitorm bankrupt law, applicable to bank ing institutions. 3. Grauts of lard, or money, or both, in behalt of a Pacific Railroad. 4. A general law excluding the admission of apy new State hercafier (Kansas included), an- Ul she can produce the full tederal ratio required for ouc representative in Congress. This re." striction, bowever, the President recommends -ball be waived in the case of Oregon, on ac- count of the regularity of her State organiz: tion. >. An increase of the bavy These are the leading points of the Message ring our internal affairs. Its foreign covers & margin somewhat broader aad wore formidable to the naked eye, proposing, among other things:— 1 newed negotiations, and, in aid thereof, an advance appropriation by Congress fur the purchase of Cuba. 2. Discretionary power to the Executive, under certain limitations, to employ the army and navy to kecp open the Isthmus Trausit routes of Central America. 3. A temporary protectorate over the uorth- ern States of Mexico, under an army of ovcu- pation Now, in bebalf of this heavy list of domestic oud foreign propositions embraced in the me cage, the question first suggested is, what are the chances under this present Congress, which goes out of existence ou the 4th of March? In reply, we are compelled to say that there are no satis- factory indications in the movements of either house, thus far, of any definite action daring the present scesion upon anything beyoad a few pri- vate jol id claims end the regalar annual ap- propriation bills, Upon the tariff question a preliminary motion in the Honse, by Mr. Dewart, of Pennsylvania, bas indicated a majority in favor ot the specific duty aad incidental protective policy of the Pre- sident, but a majority made up chiefly from the opposition side against the whole Southera de- mocratic vote. On Tuesday last Mr. Comins, of Maseachusetts (republican), gave notice of a bill © modify the tariff, and to impose specific steam vessels of the cot policy dutice on iron and other articles; but if such a bill, emanating from the opposition tide, chould pass the House, it would probably | stick im the Senate, under the superior pres- ure of Southern and Western democratic voles, Upon the tariff and revenue question, facta ret uf the Niagara te te!oeraph «from Washington wit rence to ioforr posse <aioa of the N gz the oper of the I ' ‘ fom the coast of Africa, ing the yacht Wa derer «ph from a Salem r mah . in the list of f < ¢ uly published in the Hervun T i . roperly attriboted to Dr. Kewney, the agent of the government on t when it really belongs to the Drithh cod Amerionn naval officers on the coast, fron f whom it came ’ late pepers from Rio Janeiro have | rea The Correio Mercantil of the 22d of October contains a notice copied from the New York papers concerning the arrange- Le I ye tition same , « its readers that on the night of tt nber “an unlicensed multitude, com r principally of Germans and Irish, attacked and he Quarantine Hospital established at Rte fond,” and brings forward the name of Riy 7 ¥ prominently.

They assaulted James Shephard in Cen tu. street on the alght of the lst of December, and therefore, we can hardly expeet anything better of this Congress than some trifling changes of the present schedules to eke out the short sup- plies of Mr. Cobb, or another eleventh hour loan, or another iseue of Treasury vote A bankropt law and the Pac Railroad, we apprebend, are among the heavy jobs which will incvitably go over unfinished, and perhaps prac- tically untouched, till next December. The same may be safely predicted concerning the proposed gencral law of population for the Ter- ritorice, including Kansas and excluding Oregon. There appears to be a majority in the House Committee on Territories against reporting the Oregon bill of admission; and doubtless some te ofthe ghosts of “ Bleeding Kansas,” and ‘opular Sovereignty,” and “ Dred Scott,” are at the bottom of this mystery. Thus the proba- vilitics are that Oregon and Kansas, and the whole Territorial imbroglio, will be kept in the background till the end of the session. Possibly, ander cover of an amendment to fhe Naval Appropriation bill, some new war steam- cre may be added to the service; but even upe this essential point of seif defence, and notwith- Standing the menacing clouds of war that are gathering iv our Southern herizen, we have our misgivings that the wise and teasonable sug- SATURDAY, gcrtione of the President will fall to the ground, | upon the flimsy preteate of eoouomy and re | trenchment. ‘The factions and seetional lead ors und intriguers of this Congress are 60 entirely abeorbed jn their schemes and plans for Presidential enccescion that they have aeither the time nor the disposition to attend to aay- thing else. Tais is a sorry exhibit concerning the Ust of Gomestic measures aforesnid; but upoe the foreign echcdule, the prospect of “a happy accord’ between the administration and the squabbling oliques and factions of Congress ix equally an promising, That the President will be seooaded upon bis suggestions in reference to Cuba is very doubtiul; that bis policy of ® temporary wilitary protcctorate over the Northern provinces of Mexico will be adopted, there is little reason to bope; aud that bis decisive reoommendutions regarding our Central American entanglements will be tollowed up, seems to be entirely out of the question, The shrinking of the Senate upon: the proposition for the abrogution of the Cla tou- Bulweér treaty is significant of an adhesion by that body to . aie do-nothing policy of “mis- terly inac! And as it is upon this Clayton-Bulwer hobgob- lin, eo we presume it will be upon the Cuban and Mexican questions. The Senatorial leaders of the Southeru democracy “grow circumspect;” and where they should step forward, they hexi- tate, fiarful and trembling. But wherefore? If these bigh and mighty guardians of Southern bonor and Soutberu rights were ready to risk the dreadful issues of disunion and civil war upon the Kaneas humbug, why shrink from the imaginary contingencies of a brush with Kag- land, Franee and Spain in reftrenoe to Cuba, Mexico or Central America? Grapple these issucs with a Gru hand, aud you will master them; pars them over, trusting to Providenoe and accidents, and you will find that the comparatively trifling difficulties from which you vow retreat will arow and strengthen until (he oniy escape from national humiliation will be & budget of forcign ware, From the scanty and unpromising results of the frst balf of the firat mouth of this three monthe’ seszion of Congress, we expect nothing from it but the appropriatioa bills aud a few pri- vate jobs, We are forced to the conclusion that all the great leading measures of the Messaze, domestic and foreign, will get the go-by, and that thus Congress will adjourn, leaving our do- mestic concerns aud our external embarrassments in a very loose and disordered condition. From the adjournment in Mareb antil the re-assem- bling of the new Congress in December there will be an interval of nine wontbs, and from all the existing aepcta of things in Mexico, Central America and the Gulf, it may in this interval be- come the duty of the President to cal! an extra session of Congress to meet those public exigen- cies for which Congress alone can provide. We thivk it very likely that an extra session of the new Congress may become indispensable, in view of the factious detections and personal jealousies which bave reduced this Congress to a mere camp of wrangling Presidential demagogucs. Ocr Sovanstina Democracy on TIAL at Waruixoron.—The Tammany Sachems aud the anti-Tammany managers are again in Washing- ton, settling up their accounts. It is understood tbat the President has taken the business in band; and these wrangling spoilsmen will un- doubtedly, therefore, be broaght to come terms of a treaty of peace. But there will be no peace. The parties concerued in such a treaty will ooly shake bands before the President, to chest bim aod each other as soon as they get beck. There is no basis in the shape of a half: and-balf compromise upon which these beilige- rent Tammany and anti-Tammany factions can be brought together, bona fide, over the pipe of peace. The bitterness of the feud between them may be partially guessed when it is suid that a duel is on the tapis between a friend of our Sec- retary of State, Mr. Tucker, and Pauicl E. Sickies, and all on account of these intestine perty sqnabbles. ‘The Tammany faction, av their sine gua non for peace, dewend the bead #f Collector Schell. But the bead of Scbell would be a one-sided opera- tion, which would only make the matter worse, ‘The President, however, can lay the fowndation of a solid reconstruction of our democracy by the decisive process of a complete clearing out of the whole of his official sta! of thix city, from top to bottom, and with a new set of appointments, excluding every maa actively implicated in these dirty Tammany and anti-Tammany squabbles. In this work of weeding out he should include every one of the gangs and cliqaee and equads and committees of these «poilsmen, on both sides, which for eighteen months past have been doing little else than trotting from New York to Washiagton, and from Washington to New York. The Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary of the Navy, on their part, have paid too much attention to the tattling tales of these missionaries; and, once for all, the President should give all bands con- cerned to understand that when they are wauted at Washington to regulate the spoils and the party, they will be sent for, and that if they come without an invitation they will come at their peril. We cordially recommend to the President, first, a clean sweep of all his official subordi- nates here, and their managing retainers, as the only practical way to begin the work of re- organizing our squabbling democracy; and, secondly, a new set of appointments, from which every scheming manager or pipelayer, Tammany or anti-Tammany, involved in these late troubles, shall be rigidly excluded, what- ever may be the advice or the warnings of mem- bers of Congress, Mayon Tiewans’s Heap ty Daxarr—We un- derstand that there is a plan now maturing to introduce a bill into the Legislature changing the time of the charter election from wiuter to epring; and with the present organization of that illustrious body, being, as it is, completely under the thumb of Thurlow Weed, there will be very little difficulty in getting it through. If the pro- ject should succeed it will bring Mayor Tiemann’s official career to a eudden and unexpected termi- nation, The fact is that Mr. Tiemann has failed to give satisfaction to any of the three parties into which the oity is divided. They are all dis- appointed in him. The republicans are dissatis- fied; so are the Tammany men; and the anti-Tam- many or Wood men are of course grieviously disaffected. They are all of one mind as regards the Mayor, and are quite prepared to join with united voices fn the cry—“Off with bis head—so tauch for Buckingham {” OFCE MBER 18, Nicerarions ror Tue Saue or qin Reren- Licas Parry ~ Under thie caption the Nutenel Heo. of Waehington, the oenteal organ of dk autielavery seutiment of the North, reads th Hon, Mares Coreodey a tor cent movifictations of a desire to shaifle away fiom: the Rochester platform aad the rep rotica party. ‘The Fre leotare for bia re eurnestly sets its face aygalust ‘any holf way (rimming and dodging to cateh the Know Nothings and the floating opposites ent of the country, and deamuds nothing bes diac this—that the repubbeans eindl “make np their winds to fight the battle through—te fight i: ont on the ground they have taken —assine all the responsibilities that belong to the only party ar rayed against the slave domocracy”--conven tion, candidate, platform and all, Very good. This bas the smell of a hot “fire in the rear” o the repoblican camp, The question before it is whether as a purely ecctional camp, ax in 1856. it will tik another defeat from the bush-fighting Awcricans, or accept a victory like that of 1840, by adopting the practical programme of that campaign. The eliments are working, aud we shall toon be able to comprehend the shiping of the several armies and their line of battle for the succession, The opporition have the means to ecmmand a victory, as they have had at any time for these twenty odd years; but the ques tion recure, will they again throw their ammuni- tion away? Let the Hon. Masaa Greeley go ty work with a will, or “Uucle Tom” will ouce more turn all the fat in the fire. Tue Ricuwonp Exquarke Bovory Beeakina Geoony.—The Richmond Anguéror, in a flaming manifesto on the “Nomination at Charlestor,” boldly throws down the gauntlet to Seuator Hunter, and proclaims Governor Wise as the true, rightful and oaly legitimate Presidential champion and favorite of the Virginia demoora- cy. The Wise faction of the Old Dominio, fol- lowing the example of their leader, aro thus re- solved upen a bold and open game with their keen and cunning adversaries of the Hunter clique, The latter gained a deci ided viotory in the late State Convention, and the Wise men are, therefore, leading out trumps. Thus the demo- cratic Presidential pot is beginaing to boil and bubble in the Old Dowiaion, aad we may soon expect to sce some show of the hands of Honter, Breckevridge, Toombe, Stephens, Orr, Senator Jif Davis, Senators Brown, Slidell, Bright and others, What the upshot of this geuc ral fermentation may be, time alone can deve lope; but certainly, if the democracy fail to com- bine at Charleston or io the election of 1860, it will not be frem a deficiency, but from an exces- sive supply of cliques, factions and candidates, Mernistorunks at Work.—We learn that Thurlow Weed has been down from Albany, and has bed a council at the Astor House over our municipal epoits and plunder, cheek by jowl with some of the financiers of Wall street aud the sa- vane of Fifth avenue, including George Law. One item under consideration, it is eaid, was the Broadway Railroud job, under a new plan; but the great thing on hand was the policy of con- centrating such additional power—by legislation at Albany—in the hands of Comptroller Haws, as will give him and the Astor House council the absolute control of all the spoils and plunder of our Corporation, and turn the beggarly democra- cy out in the strecta This is a splendid pro- gramme, as the lobby fuee of Weed, as prime manager, in the event of a positive gain of five or 6ix ions of party spoils, will doubtless be magnificent. Thus the equabbling democracy of this metropolis have in prospect a fine opportu- nity for washing and mukivg themselves clean ly the year 1860. Let them qualify themselves for a season of fasting and prayer, at all events, for Weed has resolved to starve them into sulk miseion. THE LATEST NEWS. INTERESTING FROM WASHINGTON.

The Commodore refused w leave bis command at this peculiar javeture of ailairs; but bis cough continuing, he called the surgeons of the feet together, and they concurred in the opinion of the surgeon in chief; and in consequence of this auani mous opinion be decided to ask to be relieved from the command of the fleet.
