Il II officially announced that. after Our
withdrawal The resolution Of Mr.. StanIy
was paased aud the meeting adjourned
The foregoing statement exhibits the
character aud order Of the proceedings
which compelled tie undersigned TO leavs
the meeting Of the goth inst.
BY a reference to the list Of persons who
participated In these proceedings, 1t will
be perceived there was 4 great disparity
III the representation from the free States
and the slave holding Suites. Weare au.
thorized to state that several gentleman
belonging TO the whig party declined TO
participate nt all IN n meeting Of which
the resul. was palpable, Under the intima-.
tons Of purpose advanced BY tie chairman
at the frat meeting
The meeting was composed Of forty.six
gentlemen from the free States, anl TWEEN
ty-oue from tbs -laveholdiug States. The
vote ID divided, forty-six to twetty-one---
sevetl from each class Of States voting
with the opposing section.
tbs entire meeting was a meagre ma.

The quote from the slayeholding s;tates
refaaining IN tl,e meeting after orr with
drawal was just one.fonrtIi of the Wing
representation from the ieslayeholdng States.
fhe determination Of tile time and place
for the Wing National Convention may
therefor Justly Be considered as made by
the congressional representatives. from the
Tree States.
OF the members Of Congress from the
free States present, and acting in this
meeting, a large majority were committed,
by legislative action, against the conpro-
mise measures nt their passage, or have
refused to express an intention to maintain
and execute them since their passage
Among those who took part in these pre- !
ceedings were some Of the most conspicuous
opponents Of the adjustment, and most ac-
tive agitators Of the North. OF the thirty
one Representatives from the free States
who voted affirmativeIy on the proposition
that the appeal do lie on tile table. only
three had recorded their votes III favor of the
passage Of Hiilyer's resolution at this ses-
son, expressing as the sense of the conn.
try that the compromise measures should
be maintained as fual settlement of the
questions they enbraced, and should be
fairly aud honestly executed. Nineteen
had voted against that resolution. Nine
were absent. These, united to the vote Of
the Senator'S. would have been sufficient
TO overpower the whole representation
present from the slavehoIding States, had
that representation been united. We win
not dwell upon the considerations these
facts suggests, OF express the reflections
which they naturally awake. X ii appa.
rent. however. that the l;me and place
hsve been determined, not only by mi
nority Of the whig representation, but by
. preIOndsrance OF that element Of the re-
presentation which either opposed the adj
juetment u disavows the sfina;ity'' Of the
settlement.
