OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE CAUCUS ir.mi!nr'of the Wbi2 members of Coneress, held in the Senate chamber, on zT P n torn Friday evening, Jxpm , ioj On motion of Senator UunderwooJ, of Kentucky, the Hon. Willie P. Mangum, (Senator.) of North Carolina, was called to the chair. . Joseph R. Chandler, of Pennsylvania, and Alfred Dockery, of North Carolina, were appointed Secretaries. The Chairman stated that the object of the meeting was to recommend the time and place for holding the Whig National Con vention for nominating candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency of the Uni ted States. . On motion of Mr. Cabell, of Flonda, the rules of the Senate were adopted as the rules for the meeting. There were present, of the Senate, 14; of the House, 5670 members. Mr. Cabell, of Florida, suggested that the names of Whig members of both Houses be called oTer, and the names of those present be noted. Some discussion arose as to the adjourn ment of the meeting to some future day. Mr. Marshall, of Kentucky, gave notice that at the adjourned meeting he should of fer resolutions sustaining the Compromise act as a finality. The Chairman stated that the question wss not now before the meeting; but that he deemed it due to the gentlemen preseni, andlo his own honor, to state explicitly that he should be called on, by his understanding of the rules of the Senate which had been adopted for the government of this meeting, and the ussges ot the Whig Party, to rule oat of order such resolutions, and he took this early time of stating the matter, that the meeting, if tbey did not approve of this de cision, might call anolner gentleman totbe chair. Various propositions lor calling a future meeting and for fixing the time of adjourn ment were made, when (be Wowing reso lution of Air. Sackett, of New York, was a dopted, tamely : That when this meeting' adjourns, it ad journ to meet in this place on Tuesday eve ning, the ,20th instant, at 7 o'clock. And then the meeting adjourned. ADJOURNED MEETING. An adjourned meeting of the Whig mem. bers of Coneress was held in the Senate chamber on Tuesday evening, April 20th. At a quarter before- eight o'clock Mr. Mangum took the chair. The proceedings of the previous meeting were read. Mr. Stanly, of North Carolina, offered the following resolution : JtootredLThat it be recommended that the Whig National Contention be held in th city of Baltimore, m the Stat of Maryland, on Wedaes day, the 16th day Jane of next, for the purpose of nominating candidate for toe Presidency and Vice Presidency or me united states. Mr. Marshall, of Kentucky, then offered the foUowriig as a substitute for that by Mr. aianty : War rets tht determination of the lira and place for holdiug a National Whig Contention has been referred to the Whigs of Congress, tht Whig members of the Senate and House of lVp. reaentatlvet. having assembled in Convention, wiw ine exp.icit unueraianaing that they regard the aeries of acts known as tht adjustment roea anres as forming, in their mutual dependence and connexion, a system of compromise te Boat cfiBci-taiory, aoa ine uest iot ine entire eoanirv fanertsU and opinions ; and that, therefore, they oght to be adhered to and earned into fkithfn! exeeutiefi as a final settlement In nnnelnl mA aobetanee of the daageroos and exciting subjects which they embrace, -and do onite on this basis at wen aawoon thloB4aiabbaht4 fristlee of. the VVW? party, do hereby recommend the dar oH ad the dT ef - as the tune and ptaee for holding the Naliisl Whig Convesttioi for jhe choice of Whig candidates for the Presi dency and Vice Presidency respectively. The Chair decided that the resolution was out of order, and contrary to the established mage of the party. But as a substantive res olution, it was to be considered and decided by the meeliag whether it would be acted on after the transaction of business, upon which alone the meeting had assembled, vix thai ofrecommending the time and place for holding the Whig Natiosjal Convention.

The Chair decided the resolution or a mendment of Mr. Gentry to be out of order, unlets as a substantive proposition. As such a a the Chair would receive it. From the decision of the Chair an appeal was made; and the opinion of the Chair was sustained without division The resolution of Mr. Stanly then coming up, Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, moved to strike out Baltimore and insert Cincinnati, which was negatived. A motion by the same gen tleman, to insert Louisville, was lost. A motion was then made to strike out Baltimore and insert Pittsburg ; which mo tion was negatived. Mr. Chaodle'r, of Pennsylvania,, moved to strike out Baltimore and insert Philadelphia; which motion was negativec. Uen.

The question on Mr. dlanly s resolution was then put, and decided in the affirmative iihoat a division Gen. Cullum, of Tennessee, then gave no tice that as tbe particular friends of the res olutions which bad been ruled out ef order, in connexion with the resolution of Mr. Stanly, were not present, be did not feel called on to present the resolution of which be had given previous notice. It was resolved that the chairman of tbe meeting have authority to re-coavene this meeting, should circumstances, in his opin ion, render necessary such a course.

Six : The comments upon your conduct as chairman of the meeting to fix the time and place wbere tbe National Whiz Con ven tioo snouid assemble, induce me as an act of justice to state bow you were placed in that position. At the commencement of the ses sion I was chairman of tbe Whig commit tee to arrange ibe standing committees of the Senate. Tbe time having arrived when, according . to the usages of tbe party, the Whig members of Congress should desie nate the time and place for the meeting pf tbe National Convention, several gentlemen st ated to me that, in conseqneoce of my sta tion as chairmen, l was tbe oroper person to convoke the Whig Senators ; I assented, and accordingly notified tbem to assemble in the audience chamber of tbe Senate. Many met at tbe time appointed, when I stated the object which bad induced rce to call them together, and then nominated you as chairman for tbe occasion. Several persons said, 'Agreed,' aad no objection being made from any quarter, I declared you duly cho sen. . The only business transacted at this meeting was to invest you with authority as our, chairman to consult with tbe Whisr members of tbe House, and to arrange a time sua pisce iut convening join meeting oi the Whigs of both Houses. This was done. and the Senators and Representatives of tbe Whig party assembled on the evening of tbe Wta of April in tbe Senate chamber, four teen Senators and fifty -six ot. the House at tendinr. ' I called the meeting to order, ami stated the first business was to elect a chairman, and that I recommended you as a suitable Dereon to be aDDointed.

No ooe suggested the oame of any other toaa jourself. 1 then pat the ques tion, whether, you should be re-elected to preside, and received a general affirmative response. I beard no dissenting voice. I therefore declared your election to be unan imous, and invited you to take the chair, which yon did. In proposing you aa the presiding officer, I was eoleiy influenced by your experience and fitness for the position. I had no pre vious consultation with you on the subject.

Having published all tne particulars oi that Caucus, officially communicated, early Is thej reached us, we. should have considered it a departure from precedent, at least, if not from propriety , to resort to dis tant printa for any broader light - upon the subject. Nor do we now spontaneously, re produce., the Account of the proceedings of that meeting, as published elsewhere ; out we. do not know how to resist tbe wisnes oi gentlemen" and friends who desire to see them transferred to our' columns. To guard against misapprehension, how ever, and not because we assume any right to interfere with the private consultations held by members of Congrss. we think it proper to say, that, in our view, the Coo- gressioaaJ Caucus did Well to confine its ac tio a to tbe recommendation of a day ana piece for the assembling of the great Whig National Convention. No proclamation by the Congressional Convention could, we trust, have been necessary to confirm the fact ot the Supremacy of tbe Laws beiasr a fundamental and irrecusable principle of the Whig party of the Union.' From the "Intelligencer" Extract from a Pxiyatb Letter from Boston to a Whig Member of Congrett. Boston, April 24, 185. The Whigs are opposed to having the Compromise measures disturbed. We were opposed to part of them when they were un der discussion, and particularly to the fugi tive slave law in the form in which it passed; yet, believing that they cannot be repealed or amended, tbey desire that tbey snouid not be brought into our elections, but that ail excitement and agitation should cease and the country have rest, se that a truly kind and brotherly feeling should grow up among Ameneatjs in all parts of tbe country. Now, sir, allow me to inform you of a few facts which may be of use to you. Last year we passed a bill in this State by which Pre sidential elect rs and members of Congress might be elected by a plurality ot votes, as in other Slates. Last week Mr. Hazewell, the editor of the Boston Times, a Locofoco paper which has at the head of its leading column every day the following; "For Pre sident, Stephen A. Douglas, of Illinois, and for Vice Pre side nt, K. M. T. Hunter, of Vir ginia, was elected by a coalition oi tne Treesoilers and Democrats in Middlesex county, and associated with Mr. Rantoul as counsel in some of ibe fugitive cases. Weil, Hazewell has introduced a bill in the Senate, which jias passed thai body, to repeal' the law of last year, concerning the elect on of Presidential electors, the purpose of which is to throw the election of Presidential elec tors mto the Legislature. Should ibe bill repealing the laW pass the House, and thus become a law. and no one should receive popular msjority, then it would devolve upon the present Legislature, (in extra session, which contains a coalition majority, tochoose electors. You will see tbe obiect in a mo ment, which is to give the Freesoilers and Democrats a chance to form an electoral tick et composed of part Democrats and part Freesoilers, and thus combine the two fac tions in support of tbe same ticket; and if it should be deemed impolitic to thus openly form a coalition electoral ticket, then each party is to form a seperate ticket, and defeat an election by tbe people. Theu the Legis lature is to be convened, and tbe trade is to be made in the Legislature. This is the way they have done in regard to Governor for the last two years. Again, yesterday, tbe resolutions concern ing slavery and the Compromise (a copy of the former of which I subjoin) were indefi-; nitely postponed on motion of a Wbiir. Every Whig in the House, with three excep tions, voted for tbe motion la postpone, and every Freesoiler and Democrat, with some half dozen exceptions, voted againt the mo tion; but it was carried, and the resolves were indefinitely postponed.

The Great Land R3bert. It-will be seen that tbe stupendous measure, of wrong and robbery, tbe Homestead Bill, wbicb pro poses to give 160 acres of tbe public land to every body who will go and lake it, has passed the House ol if.' presentatives by the extraordinary vote of 107 to 56 nearly wo to one ! aoout twen ty member of the Home not voting unwilling to vote for n, and afraid to vote against it, we suppose Our only hope, and we confess it is a faint one, is, that the Senate will interpose be tween the old States and this violation of their rights ; between the solemn pledge of I those lands for the payment of the public aeot, ana tnus giving mem away lor notbiog, and worse than nothing. We shall expect that the next move in the House will be. a bill to give $200, (the value of 160 acres of land,) out of tbe Treasury to all those who are too laxy to go to the far West io select the land. In looking over the yeas and nays on the nnai passage oi toe diii, we nod Ihat Messrs. Qingman,Dackery,Morehead, Outlaw, and Stanly, voted against it; and that Messrs. CsJdwelt. Asbe, Daniel and VenaWe, did not vote. We presume that Mr. Caldwell was absent on account of a domestic affliction. But it is remarkable that all the Locofoco members from this State tailed to vote.

The desertion of Mr. Buchanan by the re cent Slate Democratic Convention at Ka- leish. is the knocking out. in our opinion, of verv material p'ank in that omnibus ot public opinion, in which thai forsaken bache lor fondly hoped to roll up in magnificent style to the White House. Tbe cold shoul der he recteved in the Convention from bis quoudara friemls, just at the time when decided manifestation in his favor was most needed, and that too in North Carolina, of all the States deemed most certain for bim, is significant of the feebleness ol political friend ships, and typical of a like- course of treat ment at the hauds of his Democratic brethren elsewhere J He ia a lost ball to all intents and purposes. The failure to nominate him for the Presidency, was, in thjs instance, an open disregard and contempt for. the wishes of tbe Democratic people of ibis atate. " 1 be, Democracy from the mountains to the sea board, with almost unparalleled unanimity bad willed U"'jti the Convention pocketed loeir instructions, ana in eneci sneirea me obiect of ell this manifestation, ibis open desertion will astonish no body however Party friendships are mere ropes ofsapd; and merit and services are ruled out for a vailability.

Requutcaiin pemctWil. Herald. NORTH CAROLINA. The Whigs of this State have nominated John Kerr, of Caswell, aa their candidate for Governor. He is represented by those who know bim as in everv respect worthy of the distinguishec honor and re are glad to see that he enlists the enthusiastic support of tbe entire Whig press of the State. He himself haa entered actively oo the canvass, and has made appointments to address the people of various counties. We have long regarded tbe people of North Carolioa as the most steady, consistent, and least pretention of any in tbe Confederacy. Tbe only slur that was ever cast upon their fair flme was in the last Gubernatorial elec tion, wnicn, from .untoward circumstances. resulted in the success of the present Gover n ' a V . a a nor, Keia. rrom tne indications every where manifested, that stain will be glorious ly effaced, oo tbe 5-h of next August Richmond Whig. $3 The Whigs of the East and of the West are now united upon tbe Convention question, and stand upon this platform : "That whenever amendments are to be made to the Slate Constitution, Ihey should be ef fected by a Convention of the People." We rejoice to see the Whig papers of the Eastern and central portions of the State at present advocating this plain, simple, demo, cratic republican doctrine, a number of which formerly actuated by sectional feelings and a dread of consequences were not inclined to favor tbe measure. It seems, however, that the meeting of tbe delegates at the re cent Whig State Convention from the eas tern and western portions of the State, where opinions could be freely interchanged, had a salutary influence), lending to reconcile sectional difficulties, and inspire our Eastern brethren wuh more confidence in tbe mag nanimity of the Western people, whose ob ject is not in Convention to accomplish a tectional triumph, whereby to lord it over the East whh a ruthless hand, but simply 4p obtain a redress of grievances, so far aa may be consistent with reason and jastice. The seventh resotuion of the Whig Con vention It in favor qf "submitting to the peo ple to say whether such a Convention shall be called or not, Air ihe purpose of making amendments to our State Constitution."
