We are rejoiced to learn from Washington, that the Whig nirelin; of meinhcis of Congress came lo the al most unanimous decision, that a Nnliounl Con vention ought to bo held for the selection of can- diil.itea fur I rexuleul and Vice Presidc.it. About I (HI meiiiliers allendi'd tin meeting Mr. Msn (tiiiii of llil Stale presiding. Mr. Gentty of Ten nessee, iu a long speech, urged I lie advantage of miming Gen. Taylor iudeendeiit of a convruiion, and by the simple primary organization of the h-o-ple. Tlie Whig generally, however, indeed as . many aa 10 Iu 1, were in favor of a Convention, mid of Geu. Taylor' acceptance, a rYhig, of j t lie nomination of thai bly. j That i precisely conformable toour nHiiiuti and wishes. We know Gcu. Taylr to he a Whig, lint there is a dipoitiou aiming the Loci lo re present him aa a no-party man; and if they cun succeed in persuading any Miiinu of the Whigs ilial lli. false repreM-tit.it.ou u true, they will tliu reduce -his vole, if jot altogether defeat hi clec tion. For I hot reason, a well as la-cause a Convcn lioii i essential to secure unity of action nolo both I'resiilcul ami Vice I'rewileiil, we are decidedly in tutor of a 1'ouvenlioii, a indispensable to K:ceNS. c hojie and beliew tliut that Convention will nominate Gen. Tax lor, and that Gen. Talor will accept lli.it iioiiiiiiaiiou. uutl thus put down the l'.i!-e cry that lie i a neutral in wihtic. illi audi a pro-peel la-foir u. we may echo the nitMiranre of the Hichmoud Whig, thai "Am. wil.l.

And the Union asks, "What is the meaning of tliia?" To any houest inau the meaning cannot be dif ficult to arrive at. It mean that the Loco foe oa, from the President down, are endeavoring ta palm off upon tbe public, in tbe face of perfectly noto rious facta to the contrary, another falsehood, aa baae aa that which waa affirmed iu the preamble to the act of 1846, si id with even a meaner mo tor, or to alwtain from voting, at the election on the 24th of January: and that aaid committee hare power to vend lor persona and oapera, and be directed lo report the result of their inquiry to Ibia Houae. "Mr. Moise rose and seconded tho reeolatioo. (In aid that, on the part of the democratic party, he wished the Speaker would appoint bat oue democratic memberon the committee when raised. If, aaid Mr. M , there had been any corruption In the late election for Senator, the democratic party knew nothing about it, and had takeu uo part in the traiiSHctiou. Mr. Duncan of Orleana, said that he rose to respond in iert to the remarks of I lie member from Plaquemines. Ue"Wa well couviuced that tho democratic parly, aa such, had no hand iu thia transaction: I Hit that it was due lo the honor of the Houee, to lite purity of election, to the aWnt member (Mr. Myles) and to the constituenta of Lthat memlier, that thia buottieaa ahould be fully anu iraiiKty examined; that if nuy eilixen Tof this Stale had bteu guilty of ao foul and base a crime he should la? dragged lo the bar of this House and visited with the severest punishment known to Ue laws. He hoed that the Speaker wontd appoint the twnal uumber of deinncrata on the committee. tAfter a lew remark from Mner. Larue and Wilder, the reaolulion waa adopted, aud the Seaker anuoimceil the committee rliould coiiit of I he following gputlenien: MeKrs. Pile, McVea, Keene, Smith of Natchitoches, and Mills." In the Senate Chamber, jiuil before that body met, two day after ihe election, a fight look place between two member, Mcasrx. Parhum and Mar tin. The following, from the Mobile Advertiser, is the lul-l new we hare on thia subject: The liMtl One.

Tji Down-Hill Paooiicaa The Loeofoco Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger, who is 10 much a confidaul of the Ad ministration as to give to what he writes a semi official character, suggest that the probability ia that lit Presideul put little or nothing o paper of Mr. SlidelP instructions.

To this they iei bring it if not arretted hy the powerful voice of the people, whilst "the people are permitted to have a voice! The curi oty of Iheir Representatives, of which thia writer complains, ia evidently difagreeable to the powers tliat he; and it may be even unpleasant to be fit agaiiiht the whole bill, men, money, and all. Aud 1 lo the tiouhle of refusing the calls for information deep must hare been the mortification of the par ty wheu they found that the Whiga generally could not be induced to vole ag;int the men aud money for defence, even by the fuel that such an Lirr in Ntw Oslrans.

On Ihe third, Mr. Soule was nominated aa the Loco foe o candidate instead of Slidell, and thereupon four Whig denerted their party and voted for Soule! electing him hy a vote of (i7 to Gl. Tbe election and its attendant circumstances produced (real excitement, of course.

Before General Scott left Washington, tlie plan to supercede him, had beeu fully matured, and the j Executive was anxious lo give il a speedy execu- I lion.

In I m.iH I mm 1 1 pernasioiH aw i wo "'n - exist "by the act of Mexico," ihere being, so he said, only 14 negative votes on this question iu the House, aud only 2 iu the Senate. Il wa a mat ter for astonishment, that the President of tTe U niled Stales condescended to . attempt such a wretched party trick as the representation, that all the Whigs who voted for the bill lo appropriate ten millions of dollars and fifty thousand volun teer, to the relief of Gen. Taylor from the perilous position in which be was supposed to be placed, also voted, at the same time, for the false pream ble which Ihe Locofoco majority insisted should pas along with it. Tb President knew no man can help knowing that be waa misrepresenting llie truth iu that asaertMU. Since tlie present Whig House, by a vote of 85 lo 61, adopted the amendment of Mr. Ashmiin, thai "the war was unnecessarily aud unconstitu tionally Ittgun by the President of. tbe Uuited filatas, (a solemu truth which every honorable and patriotic impulse required them to affirm,) Ihe Lo co (000 pauers have taken np tint game begun by tho Preside at, aud uow array in parallel columns tho names of those Whip who voted for the war bill iu May 1846 and for tho amendment of Mr. Ashmun in 1848, pretending to discover a great inoouaisteucy in tho votes.

Not couie.il with tins hideous devastaliou, tbe French general, when the sack had ceased, overwhelmed the city by an enormous contribution. It is some consolation, a- mid so frightful a display of military license and unbridled cnpidily, that a righteous retribution speedily overtook its perpetrators; that it was the loud of their public and private pinnoer wnircn shortly after retarded their retreat along Ihe banks of the Gnadalquivir, aud that it was anxiety to preserve their ill-gotten spoil which paralysed their arms in the field, and brought an uuheard-of dis grace ou Ihe French standards.. Col. FaanoKT. We have read most of flie tes timony, and all of Ibe defence in thia tedious case, aud seeing bow effectually Col. Fremont baa dis credited the Prosecutor, Gen. Kearney, both by Kearney's own contradictions of himself and by other testimony, we do not think it possible tbat the Court Martial can do otherwise than acquit him. The following remarkable passage occurs at tho close of the defence: "I consider these difficulties in California to be a comedy (very near being a tragedy) of three errors: rt, in tbe faulty orders sent out from thw place; next, in tbe unjustifiable pretensions of Gen. Kearny; tkirdly, in the conduct of the Gov ernment in SHetaiuiug these pretensions. And the last of these errors I consider the greatest of tbe three. v Certainly the dfficnlties in California otight to be inquired into. But how? Not by prosecuting the subordinate, but tho principals; uot by prose- rlomirnt remark to some length, concluded. Mr. Sevier having secured Ihe floor on the ques tion for to-morrow, the Seuale, ou nioliou, ad journed. Iu the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, on Monday the 31st, Mr Cliiigman offered a-re-soluiion calling on the President fur Gen. Scott's plans of campaign, and correso.idence generally, together with the charges ou which he is to be tried. He moved tn suspeud the rules to have it passed immediately; but two-third did not vote for suspensiou, and so it lies over. Mr. Turner asked leave to introduce a joint re solution for Uie annexation of New Mexico aud Upper and Lower California. On motion of Mr. Duncan, a resolution was a dopted, calling on the Secretary of War to com -muniv-ate to the House, a copy of Gen. Taylor's reply to the letter of the Department, reprimand ing him for writing the letter to Gen. Gaines. Mr. Meade offered a reaolatioii, which lies over, declaring that it ia inexpedient to annex tha whole pf Mexico, but that the line offered by Mr. Trist will be a sufficient indemuity. On Tuesday, the debate ou the reference of the President's Message was ended, iu Committee of the Whole, and various' arneudmeuta were pro posed and voted on. An important amendiue.it waa offered by Mr. Wilmot, of Pa-, vix: that (be Commute of VTaya aud Means be instructed to Mpact a bill to raise five milliona by direct taxa tion. Thia b supported by a spirited speech, ar guing that it waa tho right way to raise money for extraordinary purposes, and charging that Mr. Walker, tho Secretary of the Treasury, was in fa vor of thia measure, but lacked the courage to propose it The amendment iruts agreed to.

Bnd services, could command al once the confi dence of this country and Mexico? W hy was it necessary that he should search Ihe offices, at Washington, to fiud a clerk of strong personal an tipathies lo Gen. Scott, to hear to him the message of his virtual recall, aud to commend lo bis li) the bitter cup of humiliation? When Mr. Trist reached the encampment of Gen. Scoll, he was informed by the Commander-in-Chief that he could not share with him the comtnand of the Army, or permit for a moment the exercise of any military functions by one not invested with superior military rank: but assured him, that he should be received and treated with all the reaped due to a civil functionary, repri nting the government abroad. Mr. Trist remained with Ihe Army, and he- came intimately acquainted with Gen. Soott. Personal dinerences gave way under the strong I and imperative obligations of public duty, and ia 4 short lime, Mr. Trist became the hrm ineua 01 the Cnimnander-in Chief. Together, before tlie walls of Mexico, they uuited lo stay the effusion of Mood, aud reclaim warring nations to Uie paths of peace. The moment this fact is known at Washington,' Mr. Trist was abruptly recalled. The journal of the administration are no longer vocal with his praises, but a deep murmur went fo.lh that fore boded him a doomed victim. His place in the Glate Department, at Washington, waa immedi ately filled, and the orgau of the government an nounced that he has no authority to make peace. He had co-operated with Gen. Scoll lo terminate tbe unnatural war, waged by a reckless Executive he had beeu untrue to bis mission, having fol lowed the letter of his instructions, and uot tbeir intent and to make the vengeance of the govern ment still more manifest, it has sought a higher victim in the person of the Commander-in-Chief. Thus, the hero of two wan. has at length fallen and on tbe field of his final triumph. Not indeed, as at ISiagara, pierced by Ihe balls of the enemy nor by fell disease; but by Ihe poisoned arrow, sped by the Execulive baud from the capilol at Washington.
