National Democratic Convention.
SECOND DAY.

CNcINNATI, June 3.-The rules of tn
Baltimore Convention of 1852, adopt
ed to-day, give the majority of eacl
State delegation the right to cast the
entire vote of the State, so that the
votes ofOhio and Massachusetts, will
eventually be cast entirely for Buch-
anan, il necessary. Illinois has to-day
resolved to adhere to Douglas. Ten
aessee is equally divided between
Pierce and Buchanan. The prevail
ing impression tonight is that Buch-
anan will be nominated on the sec
ond or third ballot. Slidell thinks on
the first. The committee on resolu-
tions, it is understood, have rejected
the Georgia Platform. Some dele
gates complain that the resolutions
are evasiye on the slavery question,
and anticipate discussion in Conven-
tion. Soule has moved strong reso-
lutions on our foreign policy. The
Ostend Conference Order, now under
discussion in committee, he thinks will
be accepted. A platform will be a
dopted before q nomination is made.
The indications at present are that the
Softs have got the advantage in the
New York contest. The Convention
is expected to adjourn on Thursday.
Later.
The Sons and Hards have both
pledged themselves to abide by the
decision ofthe Convention, and will
support the nominee. The resolutions
agreed upon by the Committee are
chiefly the Baltimore Platform revi-
we'd. On the subject of slavery, they
say that no resolution of the Conven-
ton can affect the question, inasmuch
as it is wholly dependent upon the
Conve ntion and the Courts.
Third Days Proceedings.
CINCINNATI, June 4.--The resolutions
recommended by committee favor the
admission Of new States with or with
out slavery, free seas, progressive free
trade, and the necessity Of holding sa-
cred the Monroe doctrine. They also
sympathizc with Central American
revolutionists. They moreover de-
clare that the Democratic party will
expect Of the next Administration an
effort to secure the control of the Gulf
Of Mexico. The committee also re-
port, without recommendation, a res
olution in favor ofthe Pacific Railroad.
The Convention have reported the
ofthe Baltimore Platform,
with strong resolutions against Know
Nothingism. On the subject Of slave
ry, they declare that Congress has no
power or control over the domestic in
Of the States. This prinoi-
Die covers all agitation in Congress.
They also reaffirn the Compromise
ofls5O, including slave law,
