']'« our view, they are signifirotit uf a achrtno, lutely deleruiined on, that wdl be fuDv developed at Charles ton, whether successful there or not. It is, ul the first glauco, rather n singular demon* siration that tho wing of the party known a* the "Southern lligbis" division should undo all ibnt tLe December Convention, ci nlrollcJ by tho Cobb or National wing, did to signify opposition to Douglas and hi* policy, and should defeat all attempts lo express the least dislike to either the "Little Cianv” or l.is ujuv.ter soveieignty pro gramme against slavery in the Territories. Uu». when ennaiderud in vi«w of recant "giving* out'* from Washington and else where, wo think that n solution of the paradox is not very ditlirult. We regard iha action ul our Crotgia uuli-Cobb Dem ocracy *ira|!y a* an nilrmpi to conciliate the Vuiif'/oa inter tut and to u<in delegates to Vhar teuton to the. ultimate auppvrt of Stephens. The purpose is nut to make un rtloit to nhtnin die nomination lor Dougins himself— we do not believe (bat the Georgia Democracy have yet reuched that point of total political depra vity. I’erhapa they may not contemplate giving Douglas even sn unavailing cotnpli- ineniaty vote in the Convention— they may, >•» the contrary, giv.- n lew such shaiu vote# to Cobb. Uut the object is to facilitate the arrangement which it is said Douglas him self has already suggested—that uf a transfer ol the Douglas strength in the Convention lo Hon. A. II. Stephens. To bring about this ultimate result, iho Into Convention wiped out the record ol the December Cobb Convention against tho policy of Douglas, »•* well as iia commitment of th« Mtute to any particular niun or sectional preference. To cif«ct this, all resolution* antagonistic to Douglas and his views were voted down hy the March Convention, and tho delega tion gm-s to Charleston wholly uninslructcd and (nnnei)t(y "open to conviction.” The change ol Irunt presented by a few of the delegates, by which tho majority in the body was trnnsferrud from tho Cobb to the anti-Cobh or Stephens side, is of itself sug gestive of "new lights” which were brought to bear mticu tlioso delegates left their respective counties; and every niuiueuvrc by the Stephens wing can lie accounted for by a steady regard for the policy to which we have above uiluded, und hy no other conaiderntton that wo can imagine. Geor gia will uow occupy a position in the Charleston Convention which no other Southern Utato will ahure with her. 8he will be entirely uncommitted against either Douglus nr his views ; she has presented no candidate uf her own, thus repudiating the guerrilla mode of wuilare which nearly every other Southern State has waged agninst Douglas; nmi siio has at least treated with incivility and cohlueas an Administration that is the rankling enemy of the "Little Giant.” Does not every one see in this management a very ready accep tance of Iho Dougins scheme of transferring the squatter sovereignty vote to Stephens, and nit unmistakable bidding for the martini able pot turn of that alrcnglh when Doug Us has to bu abandoned 1 And now, the quettiou arises, can 8le- phnis, obtaining a nomination in this way, he regarded ns any better than Douglas ? Will Southern men regard the substituted second choice of the Northern rqualter sovereignty Democracy ns any more entitled to their support than Douglaa himaell 1— especially whin we have every reason to believe that Stephct a too is un advocate of squatter sovereignly, and that he and Doug las understood each other perfectly well when he denounced I bn Administration warfare on tho Illinois Senator as "wickedly foolish.” Stephen#' unrecanled protective and internal improvement notions, combined with his adoption ly Douglas and tho squattrr sovereignty Democracy generally, may give hint much strength at the North, but the pruple ul the South are more easily I gulled thm wc believe them if they can arerpt Alexander II. Stephens thus nomi nated aud auppur'ed. CF* Dispatches from Washington repre- j sent the feeling there to be very strong and general against the reported intention of tho Charleston hotel keepers and landlords to churge per day for board, ami $111 to | ■Ji&O per day lor the rent of rooms, during ' the evasion of tho Democratic Convention, j The pressure upon the National Kxtculive Committee to remedy the grievance by selecting *omo other city than Charleston : for (he place of meeting, is great, and the j Committee may feel bound to act in the premises, although they have dearly no | power to do to, the Cincinnati Convention having by a formal vote selected Charleston I lor the meeting of this year, leaving only j the time and minor atruigerumls to the discretion of tlm Kx.'cutivo Committee, j Thu difficulty is iurther eumpliciited by the j lucl that fcomu ilcli gallons iiavo already made contracts tor rent of rooms, die., that will he binding whether they occupy them or not. tillers to accommodate the Con vention on reasonable ttnns have been made to the Committee from landlords and others of ilichmond, lijltnnore and other cities, and the feeling at Washington is in favor of meeting at Daltimorc. The determination of the Charleston landlords certainly indicates something of the iloylock spirit, arid savors so much ol "Vaokeeiioi” that we were not prepared to expect auch a thing of South Carolina. 17 It is considered sure that tho House Committee on Territories still report in favur of organizing the Territories of Daco- ub, Nevada and Pike's Peak. The latter Territory has been called "Jefferson,” but this designatmu is not so much favored as "lohosa,'' an Indian name, which meant "Dwellers on the mountain peaks.” 17* A reverse to the Spaniards in Mo- rocce it reported by late arrivals from Europe. A battalion bad been surprised by the Moore nrar Forlreas Mellila, end two hundred aoIJiera and fifty officer* killed. The proportion of officers seems to be unusually large. The UoRgUa Defeat lit New llaniprdtlrr. The overwhelming defeat of the Democ racy, under the trad of Douglas, in (he 1 .vtv N#w Hampshire election, ia calculated to "«et back" the Little Giant in bis prospects for the Charleston nomination. Tiro result goes to show that, though much ationger than any other Democrat at the North, be cannot carry the Northern States, and the reasonable conclusion is that tho Democ racy will therefore he the mors anxious to nominate a candidate possessing more strength at >ha South. The firat skirmish between Squatter Sovereignty ami Con gressional Prohibition has come off in New Hampshire, and iho banner of tho latter inode of warfare on slavery floats in triumph over the field. Unavailable, then, at the North, the Douglaa policy will lose tho only quality that has made it at all tolerable at the South. If it cannot win in u National contest, our Southern Democracy have n» sufficient consideration to induce them to accept it ami carry it as a load in their conflicts With the pcrveise Southern Oppo sition at home. Uul there ia another chance for Douglas, and he and hia friends are "humping" ihemsrlvcs to avail themselves of it. That chanco ia a triumph in Connecticut, ami to obtain it they will now redouble their exer tions. We perceive that they are importing speakers from other Statea, and aie working in Connecticut with n zeal that could not be surpassed if it was the Presidential election that was on hand am] the issue depended Upon the vote of that Stale. The election is yet about thrre weeks oil, and much msy be done in that time, though the vucccsa of the lilack Republicans in Mi w Hampshire by nearly double their majority of last year is nut very encouraging lo the Irienda of Douglas.

CLOSING PROCEEDINGS, [Reported for the AurufIs Chronicle and Sentinel.] Wednesday Niuiit—I/pon reasrembling after supper, Mr. Nhrfmll, of Laurens, ad dressed the Convention in opposition to tLe December Convention, holding that the Executive Committee was appointed fur tho purpose of calling a convention to aend delegates to Chsileeton, and Hut it ws* well understood «l the tuno. Mr. 8mythe, •s a member of the convention which ap pointed tho Kxccutivu Committee, inter rupted to say to the gentleman that lie had heard of no much understanding, tnd said further that he never yet had known any Evcculivu Committee to call such * conven tion. Dr. Burney, of Monroe, ono of tho committee, interrupted to **y that such wa» lire understanding at the time, and that Mr. SheBall wan correct. Mr. Shefuli had no objection, porronully, to Mr. Cobh—he wauled a Georgian, or at any rate a South erner, and ho emphatically declared he would support no Northern man, no matter il he were tho nominee of the Democratic Convention, lie thought it an avutLaltug disgrace that such a man ua McDonald could only be mad * iu uUernule, and not a delegate. It wa* a very poor Compliment to un old warrior, who never yet had flinch- ed in the thickest fight. Mr. Rugsdalu, of DeKitlb, made a few sensible remarks, hold ing that all the trouble came from (ho Hxreulive Committee, and the perrons who called the December Convention playing see-saw, to get head.
