Full Text
A caucus has been held at the city of Washington, composed of part of the republican members in Congress, to take this subject into consideration—Mr. Morrow of Ohio was appointed chairman, and Mr. Condit of New-Jersey, Secretary—58 attended, 10 of whom are said to be averse to the views of those who convened the meeting. The caucus adjourned after calling another to be held on the 16th instant—to-morrow we expect to know the result.
The Savanna Republican says Mr. Monroe will receive ALL the votes of Georgia.—The Raleigh Minerva (a federal paper) says that a number of the democratic members of the legislature of North Carolina met in caucus, nominated Mr. Monroe as President, and selected an Electoral Ticket to be run at the General Election; and that the federalists and a minority of the republicans intend to select another ticket in support of Mr. Crawford, between whom and Mr. Monroe, it is supposed, the contest will now lie—Governor Tompkins' friends having given up their hope of electing him.
