The Douglasitcs nre Dragging over tue action
ofthe Pennsylvania Democratic Convention and
claiming that they have tue Delegation to
Charleston. But this is all stu't. The facts o'
the matter have from tue noun o1 one VI luz
Delcgatcs-himself douglas man. Ac says
TINT the Convention was more Than two-th1rds
Administration; tba. there were 20 buchanan
men to ~ Douglas men in it. The latter told
the former that unless they were allowed
portion Of The delegates they would bolt tic
State Ticket and help blow the party out OF
wafer. 4 compromise was effected for Goscr'
nor, and Foster Of Wcslmorlund county was
nominated, who is Il friend Of the AdministFa-
ton, but not an enemy Of Douglas. a sort Of
l,alf and half platform was erected which en-
dorscs Buchanan, re-atfirms the Cincinnati Pint
form with both intcrprctations,) denies tile
power Of Congress to exclude slavery in the
Territories, is silent as 10 the power Of Squat
ters to abolish it, and says that "thc right of
citizens to hold slayes in tho Territories is u
judicial auestion-one exclusively for the
Courts" and pledges tho party to abide by the
decision Of the Charleston Convention. Both
factions agreed to unite on basswood platform
and doushface candidate for the purpose Of
winning tue October State Election, and rctnin-
iuc 1hc cubernatorial Office and saying Biglcr's
seat in tue Senate from falliug into Republican
hands,
The chairman nominated four delegates at
large to the Charleston Convention, with Bu-
chanan's right-hand man ut their head. Three
Of them are Administration, and one (Mr- Mont
gomcfy) for Douglas. The delegates from each
district selected two delegates to Charleston,
and the result WAS that five districts chose
Douglas delegates; sixteen chose Adm!nistra-
tion men, md four districts chose one Douglas
aud one anti Douglas man. The whole delega-
ton stands-Douglas, Il; anti Douglas, So
which makes ncarly thrcc-tourtl4s Admln'stfa-
ton. As the pennsylsanla delegates always
vote as unit, it is not hnrd TO guess which way
they will 60 at Charleston. The Bachsnee1s
deny Tint there are more than SIX douglas del

carefully inspecting the list, that Douglas las

Ono thing was significant in the Convention
When the name Of Breckenridge was mentioned,
it was llailed with loud cheers; but that Of
Douglas elected no response. This is explained
