Whie Convention

The Wing members of Congress have had two meet
ngs for the purpose of agreeing the time and place
of holding Wing National Convention to nominate
candidates for President and Vice President and have
far been unable TO to any conclusion. They
are to make another effort tomorrow evening. The
great obstacle is the compromise. special dispatch
from Washington to the Tribune Office says:
The Caucus adjourned at IL to Tuesday week,
without doing anything but discuss the Compromise.
About sixty persons were present, as learn. Mr..
Mangum presided, and Chandler of PENN and Docke.
~ Of N. c., Secretaries. Badger for adj
journing right Of, but Truman Smith was for doing
something. Humphrey Marshall was the first to bring
in the Compromise which he said mast be made the great
Of N c., Walsh Of Nd, Parker Of Ind, Brown Of N.
" Campbell OF o., Thad. Stevens of Penn and Tru-
man Smith made speeches, some for and against
bringing this new issue into the Whig creed"
The northern Wings must submit to an endorsement
of the Compromise, there will be and break
up Speaking of the utter mpossbility Of any union
on this question, the Tribune says:
:. There two parts the Wing party. There is
Northern and Southern division, Slavery and an
anti-Slavery wing. There always and always
must be, while it exists National party. On the
subject Of Slavery there be agreement. The
two sections Of the party do now and hereafter
they always have DONE agree to disagree the par
ty must 60 to pieces. There would be Just much
in the Northern Wings insisting that the South
ern wings should set about exertng themselves cT the
overthrow OF Slavery, for Southern Wings TO insist
that Northern Wings shall abdicate the position they
have always held in opposition to Slavery and turn its
advocates and supporters There is sense in either
expectation. There is natural antagonsm in their
several positions and relations Slavery that forbid
cooperation upon that subject. And to attempt to
force unnatural union like the have been
tempiating is Just the most senseless thing that any
man or set OF men can possibly undertake"
Hon. Humphrey Marshall, the Wing member of Con-
gress from the Louisville District has incurred the
lasting dspeasure of Scottes by insisting the final
ty of the Compromise being made part Of the Wing
platform. Our neighbor of the Journal has become
sorey vexed with his Wing brother and under the in
fuence Of bad humour writes as follows:
ga Mr.. Humphrey Marshall, a representative in
Congress from the State of Kentucky we believe has
written letter in which he says that unless Gen. Scott
shall give certain pledges about the 'fnay" of the
Fugitive Slave Law he cannot get the vote Of single
slaveholdng State! II may be that Mr.. Marshall
ceves that he holds the whole South in his hands and
can do with it he pleasss, hence this declaration
Such conception on his part would not be ridlcu
ous than the he entertained the time Of the cleo
ton of Gen. Taylor when he imagined himself fit to be
Secretary War; The real Of his opposition
Gen. Scott is the fact that he declined recommending
him for that position. 1t is time the motives that
such men should be known that whatever influence the
position in Congress may give them, may be counter
acted.
This is telling tales out of school, John If Fillmore
should be nominated you will have take this all back
