Chahliston, April 26ih, 1860.
* On Tuesday night a large concourse
of people was congregated in front of
1 the Hills House, in anticipation of a
seraharde to Hon. Fernando- Wood.—
They were not disappointed.. Soon tho
i celebrated Brass Bapd from Boston,
‘ made their appearance, and peformed
in a tiaost deUghtM,. maimer, one of
''their finest pieces. The last notes had
!l scarcely died upon the air, when three
Cheers were most, vociferously 'shouted
forHr,’W66d. After being clamorously
/ called for, he made his appearance on
the'Veranda, And addressed, the crowd.
He thanhed them for the mark of at-
[ tendon they had shown him; spoke of
.. the ootanierrialand social relations of
HewTerk and Charleston, and con
cluded by urging the Southern delegates
to take a bold,' firm stand in 'the ~ Con-
'' ventiou, and demand a full, fair and un-
I equivocal declaration of their rights in
the platform. He was, of course, loud
ly applauded. Hr. Seymour of this
. place then come forward, and after
' ( eulogising Hr. Wood, and endorsing his
' u ' positions, expressed a desire to see him
i(j nominated for the Presidency. This
. Was reoelved with shouts of approbation.
The orowd then called for various per-
sons—in fact, nearly every delegate in
the place. Finally an individual was
h seen upon the corner of the steps, sup
porting a lamp-poet with his right arm
and waving his hat with his left hand,
The noise subsided and he was announ
ced as Janies Horshall, of California.-
He-opened by stating that there was no
use disguising the fact, that the Demo
cratic party, just now, “was in a terrible
muss;" but he “did rise to soothe that
muss. He said he knew a man who
would reconcile the differences, and
. lead the party, on to victory; he was a
, man of ability, a man of firmness,
man with principles, a man who under
stood the doctrines of the Constitution,
( in delation to tho States and the Terri
tories. The Speaker was frequently in
terrupted by calls for the name of his
'■ man; but he reftised to give it, until he
t^to^^^at 914/, is Stephen A.
Douglas." A loud shout - “rent the
skite,” andthreO oheefsgivenfor Doug-
las. The speaker was considerably ine.
bruited, but said many witty things, and
greatly amused his audience. William
L. Yanoy, was called for, and some one
announced that he was at the Charles-
. • tonHotel.
After the Convention met on Wed
nesday morning, the resolution of Hr.
Bishop of Conn., introduced the day
before, restricting debate to one speech
;. of fifteen minutes, by each memben
- was taken up as first in order; Hr. .Walk
er of Ala., offered an amendment, that
, members be allowed one hour to speak
on the Platform to be introduced by
the Committee. Mr. Cohen, of Oa.,
faVored' the amendment, and was op-
t ; 'posed to the “gag-law,” being applied
r to members when questions come up for
. discussion, upon which the fate, noton-
- ly of the Drindcratid party, but of the
Country depended.
While thedebatewas going on Hr.
Craig, of Ho., rose to a priveliged ques
tion, statingthat “ quite a number of
ladigsircife hanging to the railing of the
. atrirway, not being able to obtain seats
in the gallery, and he moved that they
be permitted to occupy the vacant space
", on the floor, under tho gallery.” This
bring granted, there was a regular stam
pede of the ladies to the places assign-
1 ’ ed. It was an amusing scene, and cre-
ated much laughter. A diverting fiia-
. logue then sprung uplbetween Hr. Craig,
• and Hr. Coehraneof N. Y., upon the
latter inquiring by what tribunal the
ladies had been condemned to capital
punishment. He reminded the ladies
. -that there was plenty of room on fets
;■ ride of the house, and made some com
plimentary remarks. Mr. Craig said Mr.
^Cochrane, bad forgot to tell the ladies
! he was a bachelor—and that as the en-
r trance of the ladies on bis side, had
L been so oondndve to good order, if the
/“gentlemen on the other side found they
eould not behave themselves, he would
lend them a few ladies. This departure
n from the ' regular proceedings of - the
I Coriventiw had the effect of produc
ing good iponor where bitterness and
i '<Biaiiy.l^beforeprerriled. Theques-
d' tion before the House was then further
discussed. Much was said about the
“gag-law," and several delegates from
the'Northern States alluded to Alabama
and favored her delegates having a frill
bearing. Hr. Walker’s amendment
The Convention actf ourn-
iwf* - Mr.id -i
l was offered to appoint a
r from each Slate, to
• delegation thereof, to
l Executive Committee
i each State, whose duty it
, to tefe"
nate the rime and place of holding the
next National Convention, An amend-
mentwas introduced to the effeot that
they be not authorised to issue tickets
to delegates from States where their
seats were contested/ This was intend
ed to prevent, in future, the ’admission
of delegates whose right to seats had
not been determined. The Soft Shell
delegation having been permitted, by
the Executive Committee, to occupy
seats upon tho floor and vote upon im
portant questions before it had been de
rided that they were entitled to the
privileges of members ef the Conven
tion, The resolution was referred to a
select committee of thirty-three.
The committee on credentials, then
reported.' The Wood delegation were
ruled out. A minprity report, signed
by the committeemen from Alabama,
Georgia, California, .Texas, Mississippi
and Arkansas, was read, recommending
the admission of thirty-five members of
each delegation, to be selected by the
delegations themselves; and that each
be entitled to seventeen votes, the re
maining vote of the State to be cast al
ternately, the sitting members to vole
the first time. Hr.* Brooks, the Chair
man, of the minority supported the
recommendation; recapitulating the
testimony, he dealt tbe N. Y., Democ
racy some very hard blows;—said that
the grossest corruption had been noticed
by both sides, if the testimony could be
believed. One side proved a fact be
yond controversy, by the affidavits of a
large number of witnesses, and the oth
er side proved the reverse by testimony
equally convincing. Mr. McCrook of
Ohio, called fr&the previous question,
which produced considerable excite
ment. He gave way to Mr. Whiteby of
Delaware, who replied to Mr. Brooks,
and was very severe on Wood’s party.
Mr. Barry of Miss., spoke in favor of
Wood and his delegation. When the
vote was taken, the report of the majori
ty was agreed to by an overwhelming
vote—only Georgia, Alabama, Mississip
pi and Texas, voting as a unit in the
negative, with a portion of the delega
tions from Virginia, Arkansas, Missouri,
Tennessee and California.
The Convention adjourned to meet at
10 o’clook this morning.
Yesterday morning at 6 o’clock Mr.
Bobinson, a delegate from Vermont,
died of apoplexy, and his body was sent
to bis friends in the afternoon.
Last night the Brass Bond serenaded
Mr. John Forsythe of Mobile and
James Gardiner of Augusta. They
mode no speeches I believe. An im
mense crowd congregated last night it^
front of the Mills House, and were ad
dressed by several gentlemen. They
would not be satisfied until they had
prevailed on Mr. Wood to address them.
He excused himself from a long speech'
on account of hoarseness, produced by
much speaking; asserted his allegiance
to the Democratic party, notwithstand
ing what had occurred, and he pledged
his support in advance to the nominee
of the Convention. He is a great friend
here. The people are very anxious to
hear William L. Ynncy of Alabama,
and last night prooeeded from the Mills
House to the Charleston Hotel, to call
him out. His friends excused him up
on the ground that he was reserving
his strength for the great fight in the
Convention, when the committee on
Platforms report.
Quite a number of resolutions wee
introduced this morning and referred
to the committee. Some of them of
fered by gentlemen from Alabama, Geor
gia, Mississippi, Texas Ac., contained
plain and unmistakable declarations of
the true doctrines of the Supreme Court
on the subject of slavery with Territo
ries. Others introduced by gentlemen
from Penn., Illinois, Ac., were like the
Cincinnati Platform, subject to two eon-
constructions. Mr. Seward of Ga., in
troduced one of the former description
which concluded with nominating Mr.
Guthrie of Ky., for President. He was
asked if the resolution reflected the
will of the driagation from his State, and
replied that he offered it on his indi
vidual responsibility. The Convention
adjourned until 4 P. M.
Muoh better order has been preserved
in the Convention for tbepost two days,
than heretofore. Mr. Cushing is
thoroughly aoquaintod with parliamen
tary rules, and enforces them with muoh
rigor and firmness.
1 perceive an error in my first com
munication relative to Mr. Biohord-
son’s course upon the question of the
nomination. He is a strong .Douglas
man, and not against him, as I stated
The delegation from Georgia, I under
stand have procured tickets to the Con
vention for the entire body. The Con
vention met and adjourned this after
noon without transacting any business
whatever. The oommittee on resolu
tions not bring ready to report—I learn
that they were unable to agree. The
delegates from N. Jersey, submitted to
the oommittee some compromise reeolu
tions, but tho ultra Douglas men and
extreme Southern men Voted them
down. The present aspect is very un
favorable, and no platform may be re
ported. A rough sea is ahead, and the
great National Harmonious Democracy
may yet belost on the breakers. 8.
EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE,
No. 0.
Charleston, April 27,1860.
This morning contrary to expectation
the Committee on resolutions announc
ed ready to report. Last night various
rumors Were afloat to the effect that the
Committee could not agree, and that
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and
Texas had withdrawn. The report was
adopted by a. bare majority of the. Com
mittee. All the Southern States to
gether, with California and Oregon,
making seventeen voting for it. A mi
nority report was submitted, signed by
the Committee men from all the free
States except Massachusetts and the
two who signed tho majority report. A
still further report was offered, signed
by the Committeeman from Massachu
setts only. I send copies of these sev
eral reports. The first contained the
true Southern doctrine upon the sub
ject of slavery. Mr. Avery of N. C.,
the Chairman, made a speech of one
hour, stating the faot that the entire
South, (all except one casting Demo
cratic votes in the Electoral College,)
felt.that her rights were in imminent
danger, and that they considered the
doctrine of Squatter Sovereignty as
destructive of those rights in the Terri
tories as the doctrine of the Wiimot
proviso; that they come now and asked
that the declaration of principles might
be unambiguous and incapable of two
constructions. He made a strong
speech, and did not handle the subject
in a delicate manner. He spoke plain
ly and boldly and told the Northern
delegates what the South expected and
what the North must grant.
Mr. Paine of Ohio, the Chairman of
the minority supported his resolutions
in an able speech, taking the position
that the question of slavery in the Ter
ritories was purely Judicial in its nature
and must be left to the Supreme Court
for settlement. He quoted from
speeches of Toucey, Breckenridge,
Buohanan, Orr, Benjamin, Cobb, Ste
phens and Toombs, proving that they
once held the dootrine of non-inter
vention as contained in the Cincinnati
platform.
Mr. Butler of Mass., introduced a re
port signed by himself alone, endorsing
the Cincinnati platform with an addit
ional resolution declaring it the duty of
the Governmeut to afford protection to
all its citizens, every’where, native and
naturalized. He stated what had been
asserted by Mr. Paine also,.that if the
Convention adopted the majority report
the Democracy in the Northern States
would be doomed to certain defeat.
Mr. Cochrane of N. Y., wished to
offer an amendment to the last report,
which was in effect the same as the
majority report, but the Chair ruled it
out of order upon the ground that the
two minority reports were amendments
to the majority report and must be dis
posed of before a third could be obtain
ed. Mr. Cochrane announced that he
would again offer it in its proper place.
The majority report will be voted
down in the Convention and Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas will
withdraw and perhaps a portion of the
Georgia delegation. Douglas’ friends
will then be able to nominate him, when
other Southern delegates will bolt.—
There is no other idea here than that
a division of the party is inevitable.—
Great desire is manifested to hear Mr.
Yancey’s speech. It will be able and
eloquent, and will enchain the vast
assemblage. The Convention ac(journ-
ed until this afternoon at 4 o’clock.—
While the Convention was in session
this morning the ory of fire was heard,
It was discovered to proceed' from the
house of W. Gilmore Simms, Esq.
learn the house was burned down.—
Last night I attended a Concert given
by the Boston Brass Band and was en
tertained by some of the finest rausio I
have ever been fortunate enough to
hear. The audience was large and
manifested the highest degree of pleas
ure.
Every night a orowd of more than a
thousand persons collect in front of the
Hotels nnd call out some of the dele
gatee to address them, and a peculiarity
is that but one Northern man (Mayor
Wood) has been thus honored.
This afternoon in Convention, Mr.
King of Mo., made a speech against the
majority report, and upon alluding to
Douglas he was loudly applauded.—
William L. Yancey followed him. He
took the stand amid tremendous ap
plause and is now making a powerful
speeoh. 8.

at the earliest practicable period.

6. Resolved, That the enactments of
State Legislatures to defeat the faithful
execution of the Fugitive Slave Law,
ore hostile in oharactcr, subversive of

Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, as an
other minority, submitted the following:
Additional Minority Befort.

the Union, in Convention usseiubled,
hereby declare our affirmance of the

adopted and deolared as a Platform of
Prineipjes at Cincinnati, in the year

believing that Democratio principles are
so unchangeable in their nature, when
applied to the same subject matter, and
we recommend as the only farther reso
lution, the following:
Resolved, That it is the duty of the
United States to extend its protection
alike over all its oitizens, whether na
tive or naturalized.
