State had endorsed his action, and he now declared,
with The same kindly feelings towards the Morrill,
that unless that section of the Union wou give some
nedoe that agitation should cease, and that the COM
Pon7ise measures would continue to be regarded as
settlement that the wbgs Of the South would not 60
into the convention. The whig party must be nation
allied, or il would cease to exist.
Messrs Campbell, of Ohio, Barker, of Ia, Thad-
deus Stephens of Penn, and Truman Smith, opposed
the introduction of any issue on the wing plat
form. The old platform contained no such sti2ula-
tons as the South sought to engraft on 1t.
Finally a resolution was carried of adjournment till
Tuesday next.
Mr. Mangum gave notice that if he chairman
of the adjourned meeting, he should decide Mr.. Mar
shall's motion of order. They might select
another Chairman if they fit, but he held that the
meeting called for specific purpose-the fixing
of the time and place for holding the National Con-
venon and resolution which did not bear direct
iy on this matter was in order.
Mr.. Marshall replied that he would as soon have
the fight upon the question of order, he would the
main question they not assembled to be dcta-
ted to what exact line they should follow. 1t
was meeting of wings to decide upon the National
Convention and all the questions bearing upon the
harmony and we'll being of the party could not be out
of order. The naturalization of the wing party was
necessary its existence, and that nationality could
only be preserved by an agreement to abide by the
compromise measures.
The meeting ad journed at IL o'clock.
The attitude of the great maorty Of the Southern
members was calm but firm, and there is no doubt
that unless the Compromise resolutions is adopted
they will retire.
The events of tonight will have an important bear
ing upon the approaching contest. X. Y. II.
Mr.. Badger, it seems, desired oil his Northern al
lies be present before taking final actions or 1t may
be that he willing ourn, and thus postpone
and avoid action. We cannot ;ell, with certainty,
what the object he had in view. But Mr. Man.
gum firm as Gibralter-he would not allow
the compromise" question to be touched; and
he gave notice that if Southern members should make
motions with the view of compelling Northern Wings
to show their hands, he would decide their mott ons

But where was Mr.. Stanly? Do we find him rails
ing his voice with his colleague, Mr.. Outlaw, in IA
of the compromise and against further agita-
ton No-he was there, doubt, but was
the word with him. Campbell, of Ohio, and Truman
Smith were there also, and they spoke for him. But
Nh Stany says in his late letter, that he knoaOs "
of his own knowledge" that Gen. Scott is IS

Well, if he ,Io,Os all this, why did he not rise in
his place and tell it Would not his friends Messrs.
Badger and Outlaw, have believed him Gould he
not, by such a course. have produced at some
thing like harmony and good feeling among his party
friends? Why he silent!
