The National Intelligencer seems to have lost all its boasted confidence in the Caucus, since it has fallen so far short of their calculations. They now wish, that some mode may be devised, for ascertaining the opinions of those members of Congress, who did not attend. The fact is, they are pledged to the Caucus and the Treasury candidate, and wish for some excuse to get off, knowing that he cannot be elected, and, that if he is not, some other one may get the public printing, and they be left to exclaim, "Othello's occupation's gone."
