1.-The committee nominated by the general
caucus, held meeting last evening-They
appointed four of their number to wait on
Messrs. Madison and Clinton, for the pur-
pose OF knowing whether, if elected, they
would serve in the stations for which tkey
nave been hominated-I do not know the
precise words in which either Mr.. Madison
or Clinton answered-Mr. Madison will
serve if elected--Mr. Clinton, Il am told,
made IN substance, the following declarati-
on -" That he had never sought public en-
ployment, nor had he ever refused to obey
the call of his country-that whenever the
voice OF his country should be constitutionally
expressed, he would obey it, and serve in
any station to which he might be called''.-
We may therefore consider that he will
serve either as President or Vice-Pres,dent.
and leave the decision TO the voice of the
people.
Recent accounts from Pennsylvania, rem
der it probable, that all parties there will u
mite in supporting Mr.. Madison as Presi-

which the volumes of that publication made
