Dry Goods sHouses of our city, is the beautiful
Show Cases that some of them possess. We
will take oar friend Hughes's, as case in
pOint; tue case itself is very nice article OF
furnitare, lined with handsome looking
glasses, which reflect such a quantity of de-
sirable ct ceteras for ladies, notions of every
variety, from nice stock Of Jewelry, Fans,
Ribbons, and Head Dresses, down to Tooth
Pick. 1t is worth any persons attention to
examine the nice thugs in this Case. They
will be able to supply some want which they
cannot supply anywhere else.

:. Mr.. Burrows of Ark. in behalf of the del
egation from his State then entered pro
test that they could not consent to place ar
unSound man on an unsound platform, anC
expressed the opinion that the chief of the
"sQu after sovereigns would receive the
nomination. The protest is signed by three
of the delegt ties who protest that no one
else shall cast ;he vote of the State in Con-
vention.
The Georgia delegation asked leave to re-
tire that they might consult on the question
Mr.. Gettings again jumped up, all over ex-
citement, on the floor to make personal ex-
PLANTATION, but was ordered by the President
to take his seat
Mr.. Merrick Of Ills addressed the Con-
yentiOn, asserting that the chairman of some
of these delegations were withdrawn their
states without consulting their delegations.
He therefore proposed an adjournment to en-
able them to properly consult.
At the request Of Mr.. Russell of Va, Mr..
Merrick temporarily withdrew the motion
to enable him to say few words.
Mr.. Russell then spoke for Virginia, ex-
pressing deep sympathy for the Southern
States, and asking for an adjournment to
allow OF q consultation.
Mr.. Bayard of Delaware, in behalf of
himself and one other of his colleagues,
withdrew from the Convention He said
we came here to join 4 Convention of 80
stateSa.pine of whom have now withdrawn,
and refuse to fetter our state by partici-
pating in the action of those that remain.
Mr.. Salisbury of Delaware said that him
self and majority of the delegation are not
now fully prepared to act. He, therefore,
asked leave to retire for consultation.
Mir. Merrick moved to adjourn till eight
O'Clock tonight.
John Cochrane of n. Y. moved to ad-
journ till tomorrow morning. The motion
was adopted, and the Convention adjourned
after continuous session of eight hours.
The excitement in the city is great. A
salute is firing in honor of the Southern del
egations.
The seceders Will meet tonight, and NOM
mate Mr Dickinson of New York, with

CHARLESTON, Monday, April 3Oth.-
The friends of Douglas will begin the con-
test to-day, in great confidence of his NOM
ination on the third ballot
Tho friends OF Dickinson are equally con-
fdent, as it is believed .he South will rally
on him, and an effort will be made to day

dition.

Bea,, A special dispatch which we recelv-
ed by oar line of telegraph assures US, that
Mr.. Douglas will be nominated. Should he
even fail, we are satisfied that the Platform,
as reported by the Committee, will be mate
rally modified Enquirer.
"Shoutd he erea .tail-the bare idea is
gall and wormwood. We protest against
such discouragement. Mr.. Douglas never
fails, say his friends, and the Enquirer, for
expressing doubt On that point, ought to
be excommunicated. But perhaps the mod
iiieation Of the platform is more desirable
than the nomination of the Little Giant Is
that what the Enquirer means? Does it al
ready acknowledge that it will be impossi.
ole TO nominate Douglas on popular sOve-
reignty platform, and claim that the latter
is preferable to the former? Be care
tul, neighbor Platforms dispense no
patronage. Stick to the man =; then if sue
cess is gained, reward is sure.

also says that Mr.. Guthrie cannot unite the
