If any evidence were wanting to prove that the whig party is united and harmonious "over tbe left," it is abuodantly afforded by tbe action of tbe recent caucosof whig members ofCongrasa in Wash eg -too, assembled for the purpose of fixing the time and place of holding the National Convention, tbe particulars of which will be found upon our first page.

At tie close of tbe caucus but 49 members were present, and these were nearly all northern men.

That all laws passed by Congress are binning oa every citizen ei ire unuea oct-'. uuiu i pealed or declared cull by the proper authorities, and no law-abidmcitixeu will factiously oppoie them, or do anything to arrest tbeir txecutioo. knowing at be dot that ours is a government of laws and constitutiou, and not brute force.

3. That tbe constitution of the United States is one of compromise and limited powers, which ought to be construed strictly by every officer of the government, siate and national; mat its provisions should be faithfully kept by the states to ward each other, and under no pretence or pretended necessity ought its true and known meaning to be disregarded or lightly esteemed, for ou it and by it, and through it, and with it, every true and patriotic. American hopes to perpetuate the liberties of the Union. 4. That no good citizen shou do any act to weaken tbe bonds of this Union, by stirring up strife, contentions or hatred among citizens, north, south east or west; or by intermeddling wt the rightful aiTairs of other states, or the institution bold ing as we de that states, like individuals, best advance their own happiness by looking to their own aad not to the e3airs of their neighbors.

6. That the democracy of Illinois will stand by the compromises of tbe Constitution of tbe Union, and that we regard the several acts of Congress, termed the 'Coraprotnie Acts, including the Fugitive Slave Law, in all it's provisions, as the result of the Democratic principle of non-intervention as laid down by the last and previous Dem ocratic National Conventions held at Baltimore, and that we will strictly kand rigidly adher to those principles. That Congress outrh speedily to dispose of the public lands, and in such a manner as to secure to every landless head of a family in the I'nited States who is willing to make permanent ettlement thereon, at least ore hundred and sixty acres of land, knowing as we do in tbe, Wet, that a free and independent population constitutes the true weahhof a State. 7 That all future Democratic State Conventions in Illinois ought to be based upon the Democratic vote of tbe State only, taking for the basis of apportionment the vote that may be given for tbe Democratic presidential electors at the presidential election nex; preceding socb convention. 8.

That our distinguished fellow citizen, STEHEN A. DOUGLAS, is the first and unanimous choice ot the Illinois democracy for President of tbe United States, both on account of his great public services, eminent abiltiea, and una erring de rot ion to the principles of the dem. ocratic republican party, and because we believe that in him rre embodied all tbe elements of popularity and success to such a degree as to stamp him as the man for the enming crisis, and we therefore recotnmeud him to our democratic brethren throughout the Union for their standard bearer in the next contest, believjng his name would, be a tower of strength, and would excite an ardor and enthusiasm throughout the country for our cause, which would result in a triumph for democracy unparalleled since the days of the Illustrious Jackson; and that our delegate io the BaUtmore Con-vention be instructed to urge his nomination for president asUbe first choice of the democracy of this state. 9. That while we prefer Stems A.

Will he if elected, co-operate with Seward and his allies for tbe repeal of the fugitive law, or will be resist all efforts of the agitators to disturb it, and stand forth in its vindication like Fillmore and Webster! A The victories of Cortes were ediped by thelriamphs of Ohurubusco, Ctntreras, and Che-pultepec; and whatever may be the political opinions of Gen.

The indications are that the people do not intend to do anything of the kind. They have bad enough of "mum" candidates.

The whig party especial has been victimized by them. North as well as South, the determinatie of the great rrtat-a of voters, of rarty, is to support no candidates whose opi niona on the measures allu ded to, are not freely given and kn own to all men.
