WASHINGTON, March 10.
There was an adjourned meeting Of
Congressman from Mississippi, Alabama
and South Carolina to night. In con-
nection with proposition fer Southern
Convention, to be held in June, South
Carolina, it will be remembered. excited
the movement. Virginia declines to
participate in it, and Mississippi and AL
ALBANIA approved and arranged for the sp-
pointment of delegates, but the South
CArolina Legislature adjourned without
any such action. 1t is understood that
the object of the meeting was to agree up
on some plan by which attention from the
last named State can be secured, although
no formsl proposition was adopted. The
majority inclined to the opinion that the
Governor of South Carolina should as
semble the Legislature Of that State to
select delegates. and of this he will prob.
ably soon be informed.

Mr. Douglas looses grounl here daily,

Mr.. Douglas had no expectation of the

that his chances are fair at Charleston
if he did not he certainly would not have

cannot be anything else. Shurz would
have driven her in disgust to the Democ-
rscy long ago. Several years since. when
he had been in the United States scarcely
long enough to acquire q citizenship, the
Republicans of Wisconsin put him for
ward as their candidate for Lieutenant
Governor and. although the State went
largely Republican for the balance Of the
ticket, he was defeated. Not satisfied
with this popular verdict, the Republi.
cans of that State still persist in putting
him forward upon every occasion. They
have recently appointed him one Of the
Delegates ct large to the Chicago Con
vention; and he seized upon the occasion
to make q rabid speech. in which he tool
particular pains to abuse the Wings, and
other OppOsitionists. who have not fully
identified themselves with the Republican
party, but are willing to cooperate with
it, TO defeat the Democracy. The Wis.
cOnsin Delegates are instructed to vote
for Seward, and this emission Of Shurz
was q thrust at Bates. Such men arr
