WASHINGTON CAUCUS.

The protracted crisis approaches, and few
days VIII place the relative strength of the Pre-
sidential parties in Congress, in its true and I'M
questionable light. The Democratic members
OF Congress have been invited to assemble in
caucus, on the 14th of Feb-and on the other
hand the statements OF other democratic MEM
bers, establish the fact that of 26l members who
compose the present Congress, 13l are opposed
to any caucus, leaving the friends of that Inca-
sure and of Mr.. Crawford in minority of so to
l81. Ii is no longer a matter of speculation, bu,
the Crawford faction in Congress are determn-
ed to put in operation, the Internal machinery
OF caucus, to enable them to force an unwel-
come candidate on the people, and to dictate to
majority of their fellow citizens. 1t is the last
desperate struggle of the party, which all must
view with interest, but TO which no real Repub-
lcan who wishes the destincs of the country to
be dill 'cted by the will ofthe majority, can desire
