The Douglasites tonight made a des-
peratc effort to abrogate the twO-thirds
rule, but could not succeed.
. There is no possible chance for Doug
las nomination. 1t is now conceded by
all that he cannot be chosen.
1t is likewise certain that no nomina-
ton will be made at Charleston by the
National Convention.
A project has been started to adjourn
tho Convention, with the view of meet
ing again at Philadelphia in the middle
of June.
If an entirely unexceptionable man
be nominated, the Southern delegates
will support him, otherwise they will
form an independent ticket.
There are now nine States represent
ed in the Southern Democratic Conven-
ton; and it is thought that California
and Oregon will join them.

MAY l.-On the assembling of the old
Convention, this morning, twenty-five
members of the delegation from Geor-
gia seeded without giving an explana-
ton.
-Four members seeded after having
given their reasons for so doing.
Ten remained in the Convention,
whose names are as follows {: Messrs.
Neims, Cleveland, Warner, Cohen, Ca
sey, Thomas, Goldsmith, Burney, Ryn-
der and Seward.
The remaining delegates represent
ing the State of Georgia in the Conven-
ton have been DISTINGUISHED by a ruling
of the Chair.
The delegation from Georgia is a
double one.
The delegations representing the
States of Tennessee, Virginia, Kentuc-
XIV and North Carolina, held Il caucus
for the purpose Of consulting and de-
termining the course they shall pursue
in the future. The result of which was
they resolved to withdraw from the
Convention unless the two-thlrds rule
was r~e-adopted.
Proposed Adjournment of the Convention
TUESDAY, Mayl, 3 P. x.-Since my last
dispatch there has been immense e1
citement throughout the city.
The firm stand of the seeding dele
cations, and the determination of Ten,
nessee, Kentucky and Virginia to insist
on the two-third rule has taken the ole
Convention by surprise.
There is now talk of an adjournment
to meet again at Louisville the lst o.
June, and it is possible a proposition t.
that effect will be submitted.

CHARLESTON, May /, Top. M.-The old con-

noon, pursuant to adjournment.
The attendance was immense, and the cS
element very great. The convention, how
ever, proceeded Immediately to business.
The resolution Of Mr.. Howard Of Tennessee,
was first in order.
This made a two third vote Of ali the States
of the Union, the seceders, "a wei! as those
which remained IN the convention, necessary
to give validity to the nomination.

CHARLESTON, May 1.-The National
Democratic Convention re-assembled at
the usual hour, in Institute Hall, this
morning, the non-seceding members on
ly being present.
The attendance in the galleries, also,
was much smaller than usual, while but
few ladies were to be seen Oh the floor
Of the house.
The attending members appeared
much more cool and collected than vas
to be expected from last nights excite
ment, though a very general anxiety
was apparent.
The Convention, moreover, appeared
at first TO be undecided what course to
pursue, when finally, after some irregu-
lar discussion, Mr.. McCook offered the
following resolution:
Resolved, That the Convention pro-
coed at the hour Of two this afternoon,
to nominate candidates for the Presi-
deucy and Vice Presidency, and that
for this object a formal call Of the
States be made.
Upon which resolution, Mr.. McCook
moved the previous question, amid ma
ny signs Of disapprobatiOn.
Whereupon, Mr.. Howard, of Tenncs-
see, offered the following resolution,
which again involved the nomination in
its original uncertainty.
Resolved, That Oh the ballot for Pre-
sident and Vice President, two-thirds Of
the Electoral Colleges of all the States
of the Union, be necessary to give va
! lidity to the nomination.
This resolution took the Convention
entirely by surprise, and created great
confusion, as it vas accompanied with
the understanding that unless it was
adopted the States Of Tennessee, Ken.
lucky and Virginia would withdraw on
tirely from the Convention.
The Convention finally adjourned till
5 o'clock this evening, without taking
anv action on either resolution.
The probabilities now are that the
two-thirds rule will be rejected. The
Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia dele
cations will then withdraw in a body
and Join the seeding States. This is
openly threatened and may saw the
rule, in which case Douglas car in NJ
case he nominated.
