CHARLESTON May Mayor Wood ap-
peared to-day in the Seceders' Convention,
and explained that he had been invited to
attend their meeting last night, but he felt
himself delicately situated without further
action. Mr.. Yancey delicately gave him the
cold shoulder, by suggesting that the Con-
ventiOn was composed of retiring delegations,
and regretted that he had not been admitted,
so as to be in that category. Mr.. Wood took
| the hint, and has made virtue of the neces-
sity, by written protest against their pro-
| ceedings. The developments of last night
were almost conclusive against the possibility
of Mr. Douglas to obtain q two-thirds vote
even if his vote should rise to a majority.
| The Interpretation of the rnle was purposeiy
| adopted to exclude him, and New York was
| fully apprised of the consequences when her
| vote was taken for it. '.
