AT halfpast nine the Convention adjourned
TO meet at ten o. clock tomorrow morning.
The adoption of the resolution declaring
that the two hundred and two votes neces-
sary 10 nominate, makes the nomination of
Douglas doubtful. Ii .i r1ul
New York Tribune Correspondence
The whole movement, yesterday, aston
ished the knowing ones. Late on Sunday
night, Mr.. Slidell and his managers gave as
surances, through Mr. Cochrane, to the New
York delegation, that if the programme of
adopting the Cincinnati. Platform, voting
down the other resolutions of the minority.
and then proceeding to the nomination, was
carried out all would be well and the Con-
vention saved; but Mr.. Slidell and his man
ayers, who have mainly produced the origi-
nal discord, could not control the elements;
they promised Alabama to go with her If
she seeded, but labored to prevent the seces-
sion, and with what effect has been seen.
The Southern members were also assured
on Sunday night upon n count of noses, that
the Douglas vote would not exceed las,
counting New York, unless they adopted
him; hence II was urged that they should re-
main in the Convention as the means of con-
trolling the nomination. They knew, too
that New, York was ready to take Mr.. Guth-
rie at the proper moment and q majority of
the Pennsylvania delegation had so signifed
the same intention. The figures were con-
sidered too close for safety by the Southern
leaders, and they refused to change front, as
the Northern wing was willing to do so after
both had agreed TO make the platform first.
The Southern movement is somewhat inn
paired in influence by the supposed leader
ship of Mr.. Yancey, who has always been
considered an extremist. ..,..-.
He and Mr.. Rhett exulted over the work
in the Convention yesterday, as triumph Of
their peculiar doctrines.
The delegates of Virginia will endeavor to
mediate between the warning factions; but
her power isgreatly impaired with the South.
|. No movement will be made by the South
ern Convention untilthe nomination is made
by the other section. ,,., i. ..,....... .... ...
Mr., Yancey advises prudence in every step,
feeling that he has taken a responsibility
which may I've repudiated by the people.
A large number of Southern delegates left
last night and this morning, feeling no fur
ther interest in the proceedings fthe South
ern opposition Convention. ...
Georgia will recommend Sam Houston to
the Baltimore Convention.
10 A. M.-The remaining delegates from
Arkansas, but Mr. Flournay, have seeded,
and the Kentucky and Virginia delegations
have retired to consult. So
[ New York Times Washington Correspondence
The withdrawal of the fire-eating politi-
clans is set down as Douglas gain, as his
friends claim that the people are in his favor
A dispatch from Alabama says that the popu-
lar vote would be for Mr.. Douglas by large
majority. ..........
The Texas delegates are said to be without
the slightest influence at home, and unable
to carry n single vote with them. |"
Gov. Letcher, of Virginia, is here, and states
that Mr.. Douglas will pon the entire vote of
his State. .
