Holding II important TO place on record as iulv :.
possible. the process and method OF the late dissouo0 !,
the wing party OF the country la caucus assembled -
transfer to our columns The following article from a,
New York Herald, which, while confirming ia ali !.
spects the reports have already given OF the late a.,
Gus. adds some particulars mol before given.
We have spoken OF this caucus as a dissolution a. A.

in earnest and mean TO stand their gound-and ookD,
TO the character and position Of the men we can
not doubt this TO be the case--ihen there can n.
little doubt that il the counses oil the majority OF the can
Gus shall prevail in the nominating convention The viii
party al the South s all practical nents and pumo...
defunct IL is settled, much as any political fact -,
be settled beforehand, that the northern wings, in a.
National Convention. will take the ground Of A.
fnaliy of the Compromise. and the maintenance Of h
fugitive law Its manifest that. unless the whg con,
venion take this ground, the wing canvass must bs i
fact sectional canvass and ii further settled that
will SO be regarded by such number OF prominent south
ern wings to make the success OF the nominee Of ,
convention at the South and probably in every southern
State, impossible. The Soath cannot be carried by III.
efforts Of such southern wings as refused to be present
at the wing caucus else protested against lis doing,,
and finally withdrew from it in disgust.
This conclusion, clearly deducibe from the charae,,
and Influence OF the whom the dongs Of the cauru,
drove away, ia confirmed by the more general aspec,
which the whg canvass. arrangedby the caucus, must
present The real point in the OF the whigs as pre-
scented in their presidential nomination, under these cir
cumstances, will be- whether for the chance Of restoring
general legislative policy which the people have con.
demned the wing party, loaded down with the political
odam OF moral treason" in the Mexican war; and The
personal odium OF Gaphinsms since, SHALL after the stu
pendous fraud perpeated upon the people in the election
of General Taylor, be again placed in power through
sectional canvass which not only revive but most
dangerously exasperae all the elements of fierce sc.
tional strife.
The judgment which the people will pronounce upon
this momentous question involving the peace Of til.
Union, If not the perpetuy Of the constitution ITSELF
be doubtful. And il is rendered less so by the fact
that this northern wing secionasm takes the field for
this its last and most desperate struggle for power under
the same exclusive military auspices which, in ls4o de-
s,oyed the wing administration, and in ls4s, brought the
Union to the verge Of civil war.
In view OF these facts. il only remains for The demo.
cratic party in its national organization TO take the broad
national ground which has been marked GU, for il in ito
State conventions and its congressional resolves 10 main
tain inviolate all the measures of Adjustment as hual
qlstus OF the sectional agitation in Congress In taking
such ground the democratic party against the existing
wing organization, will present issue as important
and as patriotic any which political history can
furnish-an issue, moreover, entirely in harmony with
the established policy Of the democracy, and which tho
people, wherever.it has been fairly presented them,
have ,riumphan,ly sustained
