majority. All but Ryoders, Fowler, Jewits, aud a
few OfficehOiders favored the minority report for
which John Cocbrsne voted. A Committee OF
five were ordered to prepare hew-York Plat
form, ebich wilt be submitted as a substitute.
The Convention has just taken a recess of one
hour 10 allow the Peonsy vania aud New-Jersey
delegations to prepare tser platform which is not
completed They have not signed The minority
report
a careful comparison ef opinions to-day proTes
the defeat Of the majority plato IN inevitable.
Looking to that contingency various propositions
intended Tor a compromise are suggested, but the
SoutbiwiI'not accept anything less than the princ
pie asserted 10 the majority resolutions. Tnsy con-
tend that no direct assault has been made on Popu
lar Sovereignty, which is the most SIR. Douglass
frieI DIS ought 10 ask; while, on the other hand,
advocates declare that the resolutions were do-
sieoe6Iy constructed to exclude him as cap-
didsie.
Three reports were presented to the Convention
ft"m the Platform Committee, aud Messrs. Coch-
raDe Bayard, aad Others proposed individual 1880
lutions looking to the same objec: AL taese plans
sTe adroit specimens Of eqaiyocation, Dteod ID to
bear double construction, bat will not plsh
tie intended object And large frs ,lion Of the
South really desires to secede, and W Il gladly take
any preiext they have 10 words of attachment
either to the party or the Union and publicly pro-
claim that senpment.
The debate this morning was calculated 10 widen
the breach. Sir. Avery of North Carolina, who
ported the majority platform, denounced Sqnatter
Sovereignty as wore than the Wilmot PrOgiso, and
said it had no place in the Southern heart either
with those who held slaves OF those who did not.
Mr.. Payne OF Ohio, who reported the minority
resolutions, ldetbe Convention plainly that the
Northern mind YVES imbued with the principles If
Popular Sovereignty, and the Northern Democracy
would never recede from it, If the majority Pat
form was adopted, no assistance from The Northern
Democracy in the way Of electoral votes could be
expected They wanted Che platform OF 1906, and
with no extra weight to carry.
This speech was heard with ma ked attention, a
coming from candid and conservative man.
Mr.. Butler of Massachusetts, who proposed indie
pendent resolutions, revived tae record of the Cha
clHnati Convention, to prove that hlr A 'ry and
other Southern men had accepted tae Platform there
without any condition, but w'o now assaled il as
insufficient He objected to the third resolution OF
toe Platform liable to construction covering the
slave trade and TO the second in the minority re-
port. The Supreme Court decision might be
changed, and the Democracy ought not TO be CON-
mitted to failure decisiOns. 10 eDdeavoriog to Ok
tepuate the lameutabe con iin0n of the Democracy
in Massachusetts,, he arrAigned Maryland, Ten
nessee, apd South Carolina for political defaults,
aud fual]y said he preferred good candidate,
without sDy Platform, to the chances Of defeat.
Several pointed passages occurred between him
and Mir. johnson OF Maryland as to their respective
States.
The Opening of the battle, though conducted
without much exhibition of temper, disclosed an r.
reconcilable feeling below the surface, and gave
distinct Signs of positive and hostile develop
mepts vet TO be made when once the North and
South ara openly arraJed ogainstv each other, as
they will be before the debate has progressed far.
No recoDc liatiOn can be effected.
