j WING CONGRESSIONAL CAUCUS.


A correspondent of the N. Y. Express gives
the following account of the Wing Congress
sional Caucus.
SASS 3, Washington, Jan. %.
The caucus was well attended about 100
members were present.
Mr.. Mangum presided. The question to be
considered. was: 'Shall the whig party 60 in
toa National Conqention."
Some of the Taylor men urged the postpone
ment of the question, and Mr.. Gentry of Ten
-nesse spoke for an hour and half against any
decision now in favor of a. convention. He
urged the claims of Gen. Taylor with great
force upon the meeting and advocating to run
him independent of a Convention, and by the
simple and primary organization of the people.
The wings generally however were for cen
ventisn, and nothing short of convention would
in no event unite upon Gen. Taylor unless he
comes out as a whig. The result of the car
Gus was vote 10 to in favor of convention.
