Bf:y' Our Associate, Mr.. Swndclls, seems to be
making sort Of "trumphal procession" MS he pro-
cecds on his Journey judging from the iatterng no.
tees he has received from the press. Shook, of the
Democrat dubs him hGior. When the Major gets to
Houston, Gushing receives him with open arms and
takes occasion to turn handsome compliment to the
Herald. We hope the Major will not cave under his
accumulated honors for We know his modcsty is often
ovcrpowering and We trust that Gushing will tenn
per his zeal with moderation Dallas already feels
the tcndcrest attachment for Houston, and for Cush-
ing in particular, but he must not try to seduce the
Major from his allegiance to the Herald, by the agree
able blessings of his delicate compliments.

The Charleston Convention.

Up TO the time Of going to press we have no news
Of the final action of the Convention. Hunter is
thought to have the best chances for the nomination
while the friends of Breckenridge, Lane and Dickin-
son, are all sanguinc. In our individual opinion
Senator Hammond of South Carolina stands perhaps
the best chance of all the aspirants Much time has
been spent in referring resolutions to the Committee
on Platform. The majority report will probably be
received, and will exclude Mr.. Douglas. 1t is sub
stantally as follows:
Resolced. That the platform adopted at Cincin-
natl be affirmed with the following additional
resolutions.
That the National Democracy bold their car
iii nal principles the subject of slavery in the
Territories.
LIST. That Congress has no power to abolish
slavery in Territories.
End. That the Territorial Legislature has no
power to abolish slavery in the Territories, nor
to prohibit the introduction slavery therein. nor
has it power to destroy slavery by any legisla-
ton whatever.
Resolred That IL is the duty Of the Federal Gov
eminent to protect. when necessary, the rights
Of persons and property on the high seas, or in
the territories. OF whenever its constitutional
jurisdiction extends.
The minority reports dissents somewhat from the
above in regard to territorial rights. and says that it
