Meeting of the Democratic National Com
mittee.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-The Democratic National
Committee met here this morning pursuant to the
recent call. Twentythree States were repre-
sented. Hon. George A. Caldwell, of Kentucky,
was chosen Chairman in the absence of Judge
Smalley; and Hon. c. S. Vallandigham, Secretary
1t was unanimously resolved that it is inexped-
ent, under existing circumstances to change the
place for holding the Democratic Convention from
Charleston to any other place. The committee
then adjourned, to meet at Charleston on the 2lst
instant, at 10 O'Clock. In the Grand Lodge-room of
the Masonic Hall, which has been rendered and ac.
cepted for the uses of the Committee. Previous
to taking action on the resolution, Mr. Vallandg
ham stated the reasons for the call, which grew
out mainly of the complaints about impositions in
Charleston, concerning accommodations for visit
ors. Hehad received numerous letters on this sub
ject. Gentlemen of Baltimore, Philadelphia Rich
mond, st. Louis, and Louisville had presented in
ducements, for changing the place of meeting to
those cities. 1t might be stated that the gentlemen
of Charleston would, as far as they could extend
their hospitalities to the delegates. Mr.. Ashmore
OF South Carolina stated to the Committee, that he
had appeared at the summons of the Secretary
but did not regard himself member. He had met
the Executive Committee at its first meeting as the
substitute of Hon. B. H. Wilson, the member of
said Committee from South Carolina, as
expressed in his letter, for the only
object to appoint the time when the Con-
vention will meet in Charleston. He therefore
regarded himself limited to the single act of fix
ing the time, which had been done and not regard
ing himself authorized to act, should decline
voting or participating further than to say, as a
matter of information, that he had received many
letters from distinguished gentlemen in Charleston
OF the Convention party, who assured him that
the hospitaties of that party would be extended
to the fullest extent Of their ability to accommo
date visitors and delegates. He was frank to say
that, in his opinion nothing need be expected from
the antl-conventIon party. AS to change, he
hoped no effort would be made to effect one. He
did not believe the committee had power to make
any, and If so, it would have very deleterious
and injurious effect upon the friends of the
tion in South Carolina, who, he thought, were
unanimous in opposing the change, if not in other
States. He had been informed by letter that many
OF the hotels would charge only S3 per diem. But
yesterday he had received private letters, saving
that certain houses had been fitted up for enter
tainment at SIS and Sc per diem, including lodging
and bedding. The landlords of the city claimed
the high prices of provisions excuse for these
charges. He should not discuss this question:
however, and he should decline voting on anv
of the propositions before the committee, he would
withdraw.
