THE STATESMAN.
CONCORD, DECEMBER 1, 1823.
This day, commences the first Session of the Eighteenth Congress. The members are generally at their posts, and will probably soon be organized and proceed to business. Although there are a number of candidates for Speaker, yet we think a choice will soon be made; for we have too high an opinion of the members, to suppose that the Presidential Question will have any effect in the election of Speaker, as some of the papers have intimated.
We do not expect the President's Message will arrive in time to appear in our next paper, but we shall probably receive an account of the organization of Congress. We shall give as full and particular account of their proceedings as our limits will admit.
Whether a Congressional Caucus will be held during this session, is entirely uncertain. On one account, we wish a caucus nomination might be made. It will help those editors out of a disagreeable dilemma, who have formed no opinion as to which candidate is the most suitable man. If the Treasury Candidate can obtain a nomination, it will be to them a mine of gold.
