Satisfactory Vote on the Platform
THE CONVENTION MORE UNANIMOUS.
Douglas Cannot be Nominated.

CHARLssToS, April 28.- The previous ques-
ton, on the platfrom, moved last night by
Mr.. Bishop, Of Connecticut created intense
excitement, and rupture was then though
to be inevitable.
This morning, Mr.. Bigler, Of Philadelphia,
moved the rec imminent Of the resolutions
back, with instructions to report the res0iu-
tons offered BY Mr. Bayard, Of Delaware.
It was moved that Mr.. Bigier,s motion lie
on the table, which was rejected by vote Of
142k ayes to 1561x nays
The original motion was then carried by q
voteof l52 ayes to 147 nays, and all the resolu-
tons were thus again recommitted 10 the Com
mittee on Platform, with instructions to in
corporate the Bayard resolution therein.
Since the mornings vote on the fecomit-
ment, the feeling Of the convention has be-
come more harmonious.
An the Southern States yeted for recon-
mitmsnt which IS for them triumph.
It is now generally conceded that Douglas
can in no case be nominated.
The baliotiDg is expected to begin on Mon
day, in case the new platform is adopted to-
night. And this IS confidently expected, in
asmuch as the resolutions to come before them
have already been approved by q vote of 152,
which is majority Of the convention.

LITERARY MoRTALITY-THE Book
THAT LIvEs-Meanwhile the most pow
erful minds have lot been ashamed to
confess their own Indebtedness to those
words which are spirit and Iife.' The
wisest have studied them to become
more wise. The hottest have read them
to become more holy. Paschal was a
great mathematician, as well as power
full thinker, but he listened with adoring
reverence and child-ike humility whilo
the Great Teacher expounded to him the
mathematics Of heaven John Locke
tathomed, as few have done, the depths
ofthe human understanding, but in the
ripeness of his years, and the fullness of
his attainments, he was ever moro anxious
to come, through the study the Script
ures, to a fuller understanding of the
providence and grace of God. Milton,
with a genius that could at once plead
the cause Of civil and religious freedom
and soar to the Hottest heights of hal
lowed imagination, would never have
counted all his own works as q feathers
weight in the scale against the words of
Him that spakc as never man spake; and
Lord Bacon, who could reason where
others speculate, and could throw off his
terse Thoughts in striking aphorisms, was
