Body assembled u tins City, on yester day, (Monday,) msirong force. And when we confer the recent inauspicious weather and the UBp,opi iuus season of ihe year at which it has been called, i' attendance is remarkable and cheering. We have never seen a simitar Body in which ih.re was a greater amount of individual reapeciabiiity or of tr.lent. Forty Counties are represented, by upwards of one hundred and fif y Delegates, arid ihe probability is that more will come in during the day. Ai this Paper is put to Press at a very early hour on Tutsday morning, we are of course un able to present mure than a meagre abstract of the proceedings of yesterday. Our readers may rely, however, upon a faithful record of the "sayings and doings'" that have taken, and may yet take place. At 12 o'clock, M., the Couvention proceeded to a preliminary organiza'ion. Oq motion of Mr. Houghton, of Chatham, Gen. John Winslow, of Cumberland, was appointed Chairman pro tern. Upon being conducted K the Chair, Gen. W. made his acknowledgments in suitable terms. On motion f Mr. Miller, to promote the further organization of the Convention, Mr. Lassiier, of Granville, was requested to jet as Sucre ary. On further motion, a Committee cf five, con- lilting of Gen. Owen, of New Hanover, Henry K. Nash, of Orange, N. L. Williams, of Surry, Dr. Montgomery, of Montgomery, and E. C.

In reference to the question of Constitutional reforms, there are conflicting opinions, as was ex. peced,' amongst the Delegates. What will be the final ac ion of the Convention, we are not able, as yet to sy, but we are truly gratified t find that such a conciliatory spirit prevails, promising such a compromise between the two sections of the State, as will enable the Whigs to stand shoulder to shoulder in the approaching cam paign.

We have hilherlo published an ab stract of that Sieech, but we have fell it due o Mr. M., to spread the whole of his remarks before our readers. While we have disavowed, as unjust and un. warranuble, the construction placed upon this speech in the Telegraphic D.spatch inadvertently published in a recent nutnber of this paper, we have not hesitated to express our profound regret at the position in which it ha place! its author, and ourentire disapprobation of its general spirit. Mr. Mangnm lian a perfect right to entertain and express his preference for Gen. Scott ; but he per., verts t'le official position for which he is indebted to the Whigs ol North-Carolina, when he steps out of the way to rattglursupnn an Administration in which they have expressed great confidence, and which they are so desirous of perpetuating. Tttere is no earthly ground for such charges as those which he has preferred. There is no reason in them. Tli "powers that be" have developed no 'prema ture or absurd" ambition. M r. Fillmore has rigid ly adhered to the faithful discharge of his admin istrative duties, and, doubtless, if left to. his own inclinations, would relieve himself at once of the responsibilities f a thai kless office. But. if he had amh lion, or if his friends had it for him, it would not be, and is not absurd He has proved himself capable of conducting the government with success in the most trying period of its his tory. We venture to say that there is not one man, in every hundred thousand of the Southern population, whose soul does not revolt at the bare thought of such a Charge. We say that we regret Mr. Mangum's course. We have no disposition tn use stronger language.

Extract from a letter, dated Washington City, April 21 si: "The Whig caucus was held last night. Du ring the discussion which arose, Mr. S anly said, thai he had no doubt, the National Convention would nominate no one who was not known as a Compromise man. He expressed for himself and his constiuents a decided preference for Mr. Fill more, but declared that if Gen. Scott were nom inated he would support him, that he knew htm to be a thorough Compromise man, and that he owed it to his own character, to avow his send, ments, before he was nominated. He also, stat ed, that he had no doubt, Gen. S would avow his sentiments belore the -nominal ion was made at the Baltimore Whig Convention Several Southern genleineii left the caucus, because Mr. Mao gum, (in the chair) decided, it was not in order, to oiler RbcM'luiious of any kind, while the sim ple Resolution was pending to recommend time and place for holding i lie Convention. Messrs. MoreheaU, Dockery and Stanly, who remained, staled, that the North Carolina Whigs could support no one but an avowed Com pro mine man : that th y preferred Mr. Fillmore be. fore any other person, and unless the National Conven inn selected a candidate upon theexp ess avowal of support of the Compromise measures, he could nut receive a vote iu the Southern VVing States in the Electoral College. They all spoke in tavor or olr. l illmore, and approved what had been aaid by Mr. Gentry und Mr. Outlaw, t the former meeting, a to ihe opinions of the South. They differed from these two gentlemen in ih;s: the latter thought, that the caucus ought to adopt again the Compromise Resolu ion : ihe former contended ihai it ought to reounruend time and place for holding ihe Convention; that members of Congress might be regarded as impertinent in instructing the People's Representatives in Con vention: that caucus nominations and declara tions, were odious in North Carolina that if gen tlemen wished 10 discuss the Compro ..ise JJeag ures, they could do so when they had first fixed on the time and place for the Convention. Messrs. Outlaw and Jlingman felt. Mr. Badger was ab sent. Moasrs. Dockery, Morehead, titan I y und Mangunj, with other buuthern oiem be rs, remain ed." Old Stories Maoe New. The frost became enamored of ihe rose, and said: "Wilt thou?'i And the rose wilted. "Come buy my flowers," cried the little flow er girl to some $ue ladies; and the ladies went by, THE WHIG CAUCUS AT WASHINGTON. It is perhaps tmforiunate for the Whig Party that they did not have an Executive Committee to whom con Id have been entrusted the power to select the time and place for the meeting of the National Convention. Had this been the case, those difficulties and heartburnings which were occasioned by the Caucus that met ia Washington City a few nights since, would have been avoided. It is our duty to give the facta connected with the proceedings of that meeting. In the first place, it was necessary that some netion of the Party should be had in reference to the time and place for th: assembling of the Na tional Contention, and by general consent, it was left to :he Whig members of Congress. A meef inz Was called some weeks since, (as we under aiood,)or that purpoe, and before any action was had thereon, Mr. Marshall, of Kentucky, in troduced a Resolution affirming the Compromise measures, which was ruled by the Chairman (Mr. Mangom) out or Order. A deflate ensued, and the meeting adjourned (without any definite ac tion,) until the 20th inst. Oo the evening of thai day it again assembled, and whilst a Resolution was before the meeting to appoint the time and place for the National Convention, Mr. Marshall renewed his Resolution affirming the Compromise, and it was again ruled out of order by the Chair man, who was sustained in his decision by a large majority of the body. After a warm discussion: thu een of the Southern Whigs retired from the meeting. Those who remained proceeded to transact the business for which the caucus assem bled, and selected Baltimore as ihe place, and ap pointed the 16ih of June next as the time, for holding the Whig National Convention. They then adjourned. Now whilst we yield to no one in devotion to the Compromise measures, in warm and enthusi astic admirutisn for Mr. Fillmore and an earnest desire for his nomination, we must confess that we see no good reason, taking all things into view, for the course pursued by those who seceded from the Caucus. If they think they have either strengthened the Compromise, or advanced the prospects of Mr. Fillmore by so doing, they are, in our humble judgment, mistaken. Professing to be in lavor of Mr. Fillmore, do they purpose to dissuade his Southern friends from a tending the National Convention ! What possible chance is there to secure his nomination unless the Souih the Compromise fVliigt of ihe Sou h be luliv represented in that body ! Will not the action ot those who seceded from the Caucus lend to damp en the ardor, and district the efforts of such as are anxious to secure the nomination of Mr. Fillmore! We trust no-, but we fear that such wil be the effect. Ami what do these gentlemen propose do ing! Do they expeci to elect Mr. Ftl more, r any other friend of ihe Compromise, without the union of the Whig Party! Again: It may not be impertinent to inquire into the authority that a Caucus of the Whig members of Congress had, to prescribe a platform for the National Convention. If this was not their object, what was it ? They had already, at the beginning of the Session, endorsed the Compro mise, io Caucus, thereby placing themselves rirht before the Country, and in proud contrast with the other party ; and if their purpose was not to dictate to ihe National Convention, where the ne cessity of again bringing that question up for con sideration! It is well known that Congressional Caucuses, assembled to operate on the seleciinn of a Candidate for the Presidency, have been odious to the People ever since the days of Crawford. and it strikes us that when the Whig Caucus had appointed Ihe time and place for holding i'ie Con J veulion, its full duty was performed, and to at tempt to declare what the National Convention ought to say or do, or whom it should nominate would have been transcending its legitimate busi ness. The Delegates to the Convention - ed by the Peoplt; representing the Whigs of ihe Union are the proper persons to build a platform and select a Candidate for the Party, and we trut the day may never cjme when that body will be compelled to submit to the dictation of a Con-gres-ional Caucus. We again ask with all deference and respect, W.hat do iHese gen lemen purpose doing 1 Is it their desire lo divide the Whig Party ! We be lieve not. Do they intend to repudiate in acjvapco the action or the National Convention ? Will they exert themselves to keep our Delegates fn.m participating in the deliberations of the National Ponventiou ! Is the visionary scheme entertain, ed of electi.ig Mr. Fillmore by Southern votes alone Have they estimated the number of Whig Siates there are in the Soufh. We do not believe that any Candidate can get the Whig vote of Die South who is not, fyymdall doubt or caeil, in favor of the Compromise mea sures. It will be time enough when the National Convention nets, to separate from our Northern friends, should the action of that body render such a step necessary, to maintain our consistency and protect our nghis. In the mean time, let the friends of Mr. Fillmore at the South, rally their full strength. If they are true to themselves they may secure his nomination, but if they shrink from the conflict, retire from the preliminary skirmishes what hope will there be for success, when the period for the pitched battle arrives! Let us stand together fight to the liftt, aud all will yet be well ! WHIG MEETING IN WARREN. A meeting of the Whigs of Warren was held during the past week, at which ihe following gen tlemen were appointed Delegates to the State Con vention, which assembled iu this City on yester day, (aiondv.) viz : Dr. Charles Skinner. Edw'd T. Rice, Jacob W. Holt. Dr. Geo Field, R. W. Hyman, Kemp P ummer, N ith'l T. Green. Wm. S. Ransom, H.J. B. Clarke, John G Yancey, Nath'l. H. Jones, H. G Goodloe, H. B Hunter, Sam'l E Phillips and Thos. N F. Alston. Seven Delegates were also appointed to the District Convention, and Resolutions in favor of Fillmore and Graham, and protesting against the nomination of any m m lor the Presidency Who " has not unequivocally expressed himself favor able to the Compromise," were adopted. . FIRE! We regret to state that the large and elegant residence of L O.

The Fire was discovered about half past oue o'clock, A. M.,and is supposed to have originated from a candle. The house had been but recently built, and was an ornament to that part of our town in which it was situaied. There had been no insu rance effected on it.

On motion of Mr. DSAN, the House went itto Committee of ihe Whole on the state of the Union, (Mr. Hibbard, of New Hampshire, in the chair.) and resumed the consideration of the bill to encourage agri-ul dre.icommerce, manufac urcs, and all other branches of industry, r. grtHing to every man wha is the head of a lamily and a citizen of the United States a home stead of one hundred and sixty ncres of land, nut of ihe public domain, upon endiiionSf occupan cy and cultivaiioc of the same for the period or five years. Mr. HOWARD addressed the House on the subject of politics, declaring himself opposed to any thing like a central Union party, for the rea son that he did not think the condition of the country made such an orgamzr ion necessary. He understood that in ihe Whig caucus whieh I'-ok place last night those who were for standing up for ihe Constitution and its compromises were confined almost exclusively to one section ol the country, ami they were not very numerous at that. lie aUo understood that the comproinNe measures were not only so unpopular jhat they were decided out of order, but it was also decided out of order to bring in or say any thing in rela tion to this subject, upon which hung the peace of the country. He saw before him a great nnny gentlemen who were prespnt at the caucus last ! night, and he would ask them to state if what he j said was so. As no gentleman answered him, he supposed i hat they were all "mum" now, as their candidate would be; for he to-.k it for granted that Gen Scott was to be their man, and he was not to be allowed to say a word. The Whigs would thus fight the next canvass in the vague and indefinite Way in which they went through the last Presiden ia! contest. 5 I Mr. ( LINGMAN irastcd the gentleman from '' Texas would not rail him up lo say :my thin'w re specting the Whig caucus, held lasi nighi. He was there, it was true, but father as a spectator than an actor. The gentleman f oni Massachu setts (Mr. Fowler) who communicated the pro ceedings of the other caucus, or his colleague (Mr. Outlaw) who was chairman of the same caucus, or the gentle-nali from Kemucky, (Mr Marshall, if called up, could probably give some iiilurmanori on ih ubject. Laughter. Mr. HOWARD thou-ht it must be tolerably app rent ihat the caucus which at last niht, and o! which they had h-ard so much, was not very comniunica ive as to the principle on which they intended to act in ihe next Presideniial contest. He understood that when resolutions in relation to ihe compromise were ruled out of rder, there were on'y eighteen gentlemen willing io stand up for ihe finality of the compromise, and say that he public peace should be maintainett in relation to that subject Mr. STANLY. Will the gentleman allow me to a.-k linn a question? Mr. HOWARD. If the gentletmn will allow me to ask him one. I know he will not be dis courteous, but will he answer me an inquiry I wish lo make of him? Mr. STNLYsaid i)iat that was another af fair. He would show the gentleman -that he was in very great error in relation to the proceed ings of the Whig caucus held last niirhi; but it would take him a long time tu do so, anil it would consume all the gentleman's time Would his friend answer him thi quenon? If he would, he would enable him io obtain a satisfaction which he had never yet had. W hy did nol G.n. Cass vote for the lugi ive slave law, whei he was present in the Senate at the time it passed that body? L i tighter. J Mr. HOWARD sugges ed to the eentlermn from Nonh Carolina mat he had better ask that question of Gen. Cass himself. Mr STANLY. Thai might be deemed imper iinence; it might offend the old gentleman. l,aujter.J Mr. HOWARD. That was a matter I never conversed with him ahou'. Mr. STANLY. The gentleman cannot an sweron account of the noise and confusion which prevails. Mr. HOWARD There might have exis ed some private re a -on why he did hot role. Mr SS 1 ArsuY. Exactly. Mr. HOWARD said thai in all the speeches Geu. Cass had made upon this subject he had ex pressed himself in favor of the fugitive slave law, in clear and distinct lauuate. Mr. STANLY. He expressed himself one way and voted another. A Yoice He didn't vote. Mr. S i ANLY. Well, why djd he not vote. Mr. HOWARD said that as the gentleman proposed to t'omJuci ihe case by a-king question--, he would inquire of him for he inferred thai Gen. Scott Wits his Magnus Apollo 11 he could say whether Gen.

When the gentleman gets the answer of Gen. Cass, I will not vole for Gen. Sc tt if I do not gel his frmn him. Is not that fair play? Mr. HOWARD. That's a game I shall likely oe cneaieu ai 11 1 acrepi itie uargain. suggest that the gentleman from Massachusetts give us a more lucid explanation, and say iu what light he 'understands this matter. Mr. FOWLER. I will just say that I pre siiine there are other m"n here who can tell ihe truth be-ides imself. Great Laughter. Mr. HOWARD. Tne gentleman gave such a lucid descrip j.m of a former W hig caucjs that I supposed on this occasion he would al so have consented to enlighten us. He say that there are other gentlemen who will tell ihe iruth as well as himself. That may be, if they happen to know it; but the rainforlune wi h the W hijis is ihat they do not know wheihei Gen. Scott will) Mtand up to the Constitution or not Mr. STANLY. I know it. Mr. HOWARD. Will he sustain the com promise? Mr. STANLY replied that he had said that Gen. Scott was as true a compromise man as his friend from Texas, or himself". He was a better compromise man than the gentleman which he (Mr. ss ) could show it he had an op portunity and was in lavor of sustaining those measurer as firmly as any-man. Mr. HOWARD. The fugitive slave law in cluded? Mr. STANLY. He is in favor of sustain. ing ait tne compromise measures, the fugitive "lave law included. Mr. HOWARD. If he gen leman s'a'es this frorii his own knowledge, or by auihority, I will be happy o kn w 1 . The gen leman will re lieve us by naying whe her Gen.

Sco t fir three months; he had other business lo'attend to a great ileal of jt and he supposed Gen. Scott had too. Gen-Jjcntt would speak for' himself, and he wasublq to do so; but he would tell the gentleman and his constituents what he knew of his own knowledge irom Gen. Scott's own lips. Could there be any mistake about this During the peudency of ihe compromise measure-lo wlier, Texas was so mush alarmed about the len mill ion bill, and when his frieiiu f rom Texas changed bis vote to obtain its passage, Gen. Scott was as anxious for the adoption of those measures as the gentleman. And he Mr. S. knevvthat afier iheir passage he was as true, strong unyielding a friend of them as the gentleman, himself. Mr. Outlaw desired lo know of his colleague why Geu. Sco'i, if he was a compromise man, did not say so under his own hand and seal t Mr. Stanly thought' that this was a strange question.

P. r , Washington, April 22, 1852. . SKNATii. Mr. Mangum asked the indulgence of the Sen ate to allow him lo make a peisonal explanation. A friend yesterday phced in his hands a news paper into which he but seldom looked. in which paper appeared a letter from Washington con taining a most unjustifiable asstult upon nim. He was not apt to notice such things oidinariiy ; but, when there was evidence shewing that they proceeded from hifjherauthori;y than usual news piper assaults, he desired to notice it. The paper was Hie New York Express. In this letter it was charged that he had entered into a coalition with the Senator from New York, (Mr. Seward,) and that ii was formed at dinner par lies with that Senator. This was false. He W is charged also wiili having been governed in cer tain recent positions assumed by him with an as. piration for a certain high office. This Wds false also. There was another charge of a more serious na ture ; that was ttint hp had been guilty of venali ty. Thai it had been arranged in a private cau cus wiih th- Si-nator from New York that he ws to be placed in the chair nt a certain assemblage and whs 1. 1 decide cert tin questions in a particu lar manner. His colleague knew that what he had recently stated as' hjs opinion upon the Presi dency had been his convictions for more lha'n a who had less influence upon his actions or opini I aa- a ...1 1 . . c? : . , 1 1 ions than the Sena or from New Yoik, and th;t laci that Senator wou'd doubtless verify on oaih. H- pronounced the statements and allegntions contained in that letter to be fals in the gs;regaie and in iet.il; and he made this declaration wi;h a full avowal of his responsibility to sustain ii. There was an attempt made in an editorial in the xnme paper to smother up the author of it bv alluding to him -,s an 'occasional correspondent,' and as one who Itatl been in Washington only a pat of the winter, &c.' He had no doubt as to who ihe author of that letter was. On a recent occasion he had heard the identical language used in litis Chamber ; the sara' thoughts uttered, and the same ideas thrown out, that were contain -d in this very letter in ihe Express. He pronounced the statements made in that letter oy its author lul.e in every particular !o far as they related to him. hen a half-way mendrfant of an editor goc abou and gathers up such stuff o parade- before the public, there m'mht be some excuse found for him ; but when one who, by ihe freaks of Ibriuie is thrown int official position, and into places o! higher authority, there cap be no apology lor his conduct. Mr. M. commented severely upon the conduct 1 of the alleged author of the letter, as one who by I, --. ,,, , I,, j ,ja positio, suddenly acquired, was enabled io go around to dinner parties, &.C , an I abuse hos prahlv hy disclosing what lie heard and saw, and who assumed a digni'y and importance, rolling up and down the Avenue in his carriage, w ith liv eried servants &.c,did not deserve thecountenance and respect extended to all men of honor, but should b? kicked out of all socio'y. tie had no doubt as to who the author of that letter was. He vvr.s one of the editors of the pa per; and that author lie pronounced as guil'V of one of ihe most mendacious of calumnies, and one utterly lost lo all sense ol honor and propriety. Th;ii .inth .r, said he, I lake 10 be a member of the House ol Representatives. r Tjie Chair said the Senator was out of order. Mr. M ii)l'Uiii said he knew lie was out of order bm he was now done. Washington, April 23rd, 1S52. HOUSE qF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. Br.iok, of New York, roae to make a per sonal expl natimi, lo which Mr Stanly obj-oied. unless the gentlemen w:lo might he referred to might have an opKnuniiy ot replying ; which haying been conceded, Mr. Brooks addressed the House, which he said he was iud jced to do, hy remark ihat had been made with reference to himself by a member of the Senate, whose age and position rendered it Ihe only course left him lo pursue. He said he had already denied the auiliori'itp of the letter hat had appeared in the New York Express; and wiih reference to the editorial remarks which had been republished in ; ihe u lobe, lie denied nil knowledge of them, till subsequent 10 their re-pnblication. Whatever difference of opinion ini'.'hl exist as to what constitutes a gentloiiian, the member who would vomit lorth a. tirade against another member of Comgress, such as that to which he had alluded, musl be considered as 110 gentleman. The course which the Southern Whigs pursued in ihe caucus, he said, showed tint they were true upon the compromise measures, ami tie there fore withdrew-his statement a to their wavering upon that question. Mr. Stanly said he regretted the appearaace of thexriicle referred to, aud deplored the existing slate of things. The only pari of the speech of the gentleman from New Yoik, on 1 former day, which was offensive, to Southern members having been withdrawn, he had noltiing to sty upon the subject.

In our State contest are involved questions, which are to have a bearing, for good or evil, upon the interests of our good old Com monwealth, for many years lo come. A Governor is to be elected a Legislature to be chosen, upon which will devolve the duty of electing a U. S. Senator for six years re districting the State for members of Congress, laying offtne Senatorial Districts, and appor tioning the House of Commons for the nei;t twenty years. In addition to these, other questions will be presented for the consider- a ion of the people, upon which all possible information should be disseminated to secure a correct decision. As a medium for diffus ing truth, we present the "Register" to ihe consideration of our Whig friends, through out the State ; and as tnat ,ney interest themselves in extending its circula (ion, togethfr with that of all othe gQjd Whig journals, as one of the most important steps in bringing about that victory which always attends a thorough organization ot party In addition to our yearly terms, we offer the "Register" Weekly.

It. is difficult for any one, that has not stood by ihe bad of one seized with this malady, under the fatal tye. it has assumed tho present Sprng. in gome ai our middle coqmies, to imagine how fearful and rapid hs progress is. I saw Mr. Rovers ujmjh Tues day about one o'clock not having hearcl of his sick ness before. He was breathing with vary great diffi culty, his nostrils leing dilated and his lips compres sed. He spoke with some difficulty, but seemed to be in irood spirits and s'nid, that if be thought he was to bo i-ick for any time ho would go home. When leal ed twenty-four hours afterwards, a great aud striking change had ensued. He was somewhat un der th I'ifliiuticc of medieine, and wan iered in his talk. However, he roused himsplf, in answer to mv question, said that he was better, that .water find its natural tasle once more, that he was out of all pain Ha tulked several minutes about himself, his Fath er's family, tho time he spent at home before going off to School, and other such common topics. He ta ked until we tur.ied from bis bed telling him, he ought not to make so 'much use of lis lungs. When I went out lie desired me to call again frequently. When I went in about sunset.he wus tying with his'eyes closed, and apparently insensible, breathing with very great difficulty and unable to. throw off the secretions fr-ru his throat. 1 called again about nine, and he was dea U The disease had trampled him to the dust with the might of a giant, and with ths ease with which one crumbles apietc of whito paper in his baud, and throws it tii!;e ground.

Although he had been in Chap 0. Hill for several m nths 1 do not reco lect to have met with him except in Church, and upou his way to his meals, or on hfs duties.
