Further Details Of the Wkig Caucus.

Holding it important to place on record as fully
possible the process and method Of the late dissolution
Of the wing party OF the country ia caucus assembled
we transfer columns the following article from
the New York Heard, which, while confirming all
respects the reports have already given of the late
caucus adds some particulars not before given.
We have spoken of this a dissolution OF the
wing party There be doubt that 1t SO, unless
the southern members in their indignant protest and
withdrawal were engaged in chids play III they are
in earnest and mean stand their ground-and looking
TO the character aud position OF the men we cannot
doubt this to be the case-then there be little doubt
that il the counsels of the oty of the shall
prevail in the nominating convention, the whg party al
the South is TO all practical atens and purposes de-
funct 1t is settled much any political fact can
be settled beforehand that the northern wings IN their
National Convention, will not take the ground OF the
hnaty OF the Compromise, and the maintenance OF the
fugitive law. II is manifest that unless the wing
venton take this ground, the wing must be in
fact sectional canvass and il is further settled that il
will so be regarded by such number Of prominent
southern wings as 10 make the Of the nominee
Of that convention the Souh and probably in every
southern State impossible. The South cannot be car
red by the wing party for anybody over the heads and
against the efforts of such southern wings refused
to be present a the wing caucus, else protested
against its doings, and finally withdrew from in dis
gust.
This conclusion clearly deducible from the character
and influence Of the whom the doings OF the caucns
drove away is confirmed by the more general aspect
which the wing canvass, arranged by the CAUCUS
present. The real point in the of the wings
as presented in their presidential nomination. under
these circumstances will be, whether for the chance
restoring general legislative policy which the people
have condemned, the wing party, loaded down with the
political odum Of moral treason" in the Mexican
and the personal odium OF Gaphinsm SINCE SHALL after
the supendous fraud perpetrated upon the people in the
election of Gen. Taylor be again placed in power
through sectional canvass, which only revive
but dangerously exasperate all the elements OF
fierce sectional strife.
The judgement which the people will pronounce npol
this momentous question-involvIng the peace OF th
Union il not the perpetuty Of the constitution itself
cannot be doubtful. And it is rendered less BY tn
fact that this northern wing sectonalsm takes the nell
for this its last and most desperate struggle for power
under the same exclusive military auspices which, j
ls40 destroyed The wing administration, and, in lS4s
brought the Union TO the verge of civil war.
In view of these facts il only remains Tor the demo
cratic party its national organization to take th
broad national ground which has been marked out for
in its State conventions and its congressional resolves
10 maintain invioate all the OF Adjustment
final quieus Of the sectional agitation in Congress
takicg such ground the democratic party, against t
existing wing organization, will present an issue as in
portant and patriotic any which our political hi
tory furnshan issue. moreover, entirely in harm
nv with the established policy Of the democracy an
which the people, wherever il has been fairly presents
to them, have triumphantly sustained.
