Senatorial Caucus.

.torc from Washington, says the Globe of that
,,. s.ota that the Democratic members of the Sen
=, hold another conference on Saturday last, which
,n,;ruad more than four hours. The object of this
,,oreDce is represented to have been the consider
atm, Of the different resolutions now under discus
or in the Senate in regard to slavery in the Terri
orc with the view ofpreSentlnS some general Plat
s,-0 which will harmonic the conflicting views of
n.nocratic Senators upon this subject. About half
the Senator's were opposed to adopting any resou-
,ons whatever The other portion expressed them
.ros frorablv to those presented by Senator Davis
Senator Browns resolution, asking legislation by
Congress to protect slavery in the Territories found
no advocates Mr.. Salisbury moved that 1t was in
oxpedent TO adopt the resolutions. This motion
was supported, it is SAID by Senators Clingman and
Toombs, who were opposed by Messrs. Gwin, Bright,
Fitch and Lane Mr.. Douglas opposed the adOp-
ton of any resolutions in advance of the meeting OF
the Charleston Convention. He declared for the
Cincinnati platform without change, and argued
AGAINST legislation in relation to slave property in
Territories precedent to any action of the Supreme
Court As to the power of the Territorial Leglsla-
ture most of the Senators said nothing Senator
Green moved finally, that committee of five be
appointed. to whom all the resolutions be referred
with power, If deemed expedient, to report sub
stltute for the present resolutions.
We are not sure that any good will come of Sena-
tor caucuses or Senatorial resolutions on the slave
~ question. Our impression is that Convention
is to be held in Charleston on the 23d of April next
which is expected to agree on both the platform and
the candidate That Convention will consist of 600
delegates, fresh from the people. They will reflect
the will Of the people. If they do not, they had bet
ter not assemble. Experience has shown that the
is not always to the swift the battle to the
strong" Those who are gaining now, or running
well now, may be counted out of the after the
25d of April next. Senators will not be likely to
agree entirely the slavery question until after
that time

Virginia and Iowa.

Gov Letcher, of Virginia, sent in message to the
Legislature of that State on Monday last, setting
forth a. some length the bad conduct of the Cover
nor Of Iowa in refusing to surrender Barclay Cop
pic one of the Harper's Ferry Insurgents, and in
giving the said COppic such information as to the
demand for him as to enable him to escape. Gov.
L. argues the question with much force, showing
clearly that the Governor of Iowa has deliberately
refused to give up, on just and proper demand, the
SAID Barclay COppic The Governor of Iowa placed
Ills refusal to surrender the crimica on the ground
that the papers on which the demand was based
were not entirely regular but he admitted that his
objection to the papers was "techaical" Gov.
Lecher charges and proves that the Governor of
Iowa not only shielded Coppic from justice on
frivolous pretexts" but gave him notice to make his
escape!
'oV. Letcher quotes from the recent inaugural
al0reSs OF the Governor of Iowa, showing clearly
mat his feelings and sympathies are warmly enlist
ed on the side Of John Brown and his criminal asso-
GATES. The Governor dwells in strong terms on
"'S state OF feeling in Iowa, as shown by the Gov
ehOr Of that State, and adds
We must meet this spirit of aggression upon the
ta'elOdlng States, sternly and resolutely, and to
uiS emu union and harmony is indispensable to sue
IN We must have united South. Necessity,
cru uuty to ourselves and those who are identified

TARBORorGu MERCURY.-The Marlborough Ner-
curry charges again with having "dodged the
question" of al rdlOrem taxation. The charge is
unfounded The Mercury has done deliberate
and intentional injustice on this subject
The Mercury also says:
"One of two things must be done by the De-
mOcracy Of this State. Let them repudiatc al ca-
loren in toto and our State Democracy will continue
to hold hand in hand let them adopt it, and we
no longer one. We know whereof we speak, which
time will in due course prove"
Our Democracy is very different from that of the
Mercury. We intend to 90 with the Democratic
party and to support its nominees, whether al
loren be repudiated or adopted. That is the true
position. The Democracy of the State never have
divided and become diSorganzed on account of State
issues, and we trust they will.
We want controversy with the Mercury on
this or any other subject. We have not assailed
that paper nor do we expect to do So We have
spoken only in sclfdetence.
Is it not little strange that the -Uercury which
processes to be Democratic paper, should so con-
stantly and bitterly assail the Standard and at the
same time permit the Register to pass unnoticed?

CONFESS,

On the 18th the death of Mr. Broderck, late Sem
ator from California, was announced in the Senate,
and euloges pronounced upon him.
On the same day the House voted for printer, but
no election was had Defrees, the black Republican
candidate, lacked several votes of an election. This
is the man who is reported to have obtained his nom
ination at the hands of the black Republicans, by
offering to give them half his profits for electioneer
ing purposes. A few of the black Republicans, who
have some conscience refuse this account to vote
for him. And yet this is the party on which the
Editor of the Register relies to investigate the affairs
of the government, and " bring shame and confusion
of face on President Buchanan"
Senator Broderlck's death also announced in
the House, and after the usual eulogies the House
adjourned.
