National Democratic Convention.

CINCINNATI, une 3--The rules of the Bal
timore Conve ntion of 1852, adopted to-day,
give the majority of each State delegation the
right to cast the entire vote of the State so that
the vote of Ohio and Massachusetts, will even
tually be cast entirely for Buchanan if neces-
sary. Illinois has to-day resolved to adhere to
Douglas. Tennessee is equally divided be-
| tween Pierce and Buchanan. The prevailing
| impression tonight is that Buchanan will be
nominated Oh the second or third ballot Sidell
thinks on the first. The committee on resou-
tons, it is understood. have rejected the Geor-
gia platform. Some delegates complain that
the resolutions are evaslve Oh the slavery ques-
ton, and anticipate discussion in convention.-
Soule has moved strong resolutions on our
foreign policy. The Ostend Conference Order,
now under discussion in committee, he thinks
will. lie accepted. A platform will be adopted
before nomination is made. The Indications
at present are that the softs have got the al
vantage in the New York contest. The Con-
ventlon Is expected to adjourn on Thursday.

luton of the Convention can affect the question
