E@ THE CHARLESTON CONVENTION was called to order at IF o'clock on Monday by the chair man of the Democratic National Committee, and temporarily organized by the appointment ol d. B. Tourney, of Arkansas, as Chairman and "m' F. Ritchie of Virginia, as Secretary. A letter from Fernando Wood, claiming seats for his wino of the New York democracy, was present, ed bv MT. Fisher of Ohio, and it's reading object. ed to by Mir. Cochrane. It was referred, after some tart debate, to the committee on creden. dials, without reading. The greatest excitement prevailed for some time, and vote excluding the New York and Illinois delegations from the committee was adopted. Gen. Cushing had been agreed upon as the permanent President of the Convention and beyond that, all is conjecture as to the result, and the public are as much divided in opinion as to the candidates, and platforms to be adopted, as they have been for a month past Douglass friends are yet sanguine of his nomination, and his opponents are as hos
 tile as ever. We shall not be surprised to sec all the present leading candidates dropped, and a new man taken up. If there were any proba- bility of the election of Democratic President we should be glad to see our excellent friend DANIEL s. DICKINSON the nominee, for we es- teem him the best and ablest man of his party in the northern states.

THE GRAND WIDE AWAKE DEMONSTRATION The Wide Awake Clubs of this City are mak- ing their preparations for a grand convention and torch light demonstration on the night of " Election Day. Wednesday, May 2d. The Wide Awakes throughout the State have been
 invited to be present and most of them have accepted the invitation. It is supposed that not less than THREE THOUSAND will take part Tn the demonstration. The Wide Awakes from abroad will receive a cordial welcome from the New Haven CluLs and the affair will be one of the grandest political gatherings ever witnessed in Connecticut The youth and viz gor of the Republican party will be represented in force, and the glorious victory of 1860 will be cele- brated in manner it deserves. It should be perfectly understood that the Wide Awakes do not propose to take any part in the Inaugural Procession and Celebration during the day. From time immemorial that has been preserved as a no-party affair, and there is no disposition to encroach upon the venerable and pleasing custom.-sournal and Courier.
 a9~The Independent says that a Southern trader came to this city to do rare thing-to pay cash for his entire purchases. Determined not to buy of any man who was not true to the South, he went to the store of--, and said Are you all Abolitionist? If you are, will not buy of you" The reply was, Yes I am an Aboli- tionist, for although would like to trade with you, l cannot deny my principles. The South erner next went to the store of -, who was an officer of an Anti-Savery Society. The same question was put to him, and the reply was, Why. aye, no. Idont like all the Aboli- tionists do." Next he went to the warehouse of
 "A well-known Anti-Slavery man, pro- pounding the same question to him. This mer- chant, with rare selfpossession and Attic wit, re- piled, "I should like to ask you question or two, in my turn are you close communion Bap- tist?" The Southerner looked surprised, and said, "What if I am?" He was answered. "Why, in that case, cannot sell you any goods: not even for cash" After pricing goods in the market, the southerner returned to this store and made his purchases. On settling his bill, he was inqusitive to know why Mir. - would not sell goods, for cash even, to close communion Baptists. MT. laughed, and said, "I have no prejudice against them, or any sect but you asked me foolish question, and l replied by asking you another that's all"
