journed after a most exciting meeting
f Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Arkan-
I, sas, Texas and Louisiana announce en-
! phatically that they would 90 out of the
convention unless their platform was
adopted.
g South Carolina said she was not au-
thorized TO speak yet, but would doubt
o lessly follow the lead of Mississippi.
{ All the speakers at the meeting of the
southern delegation last night were de-
cidedly radical and uncompromising-
Nothing short of an extreme platform
will satisfy them except southern can
didate and he must be Hunter.
Douglas defeat or tho disruption OF
] the convention seems inevitable.

!, in the pocket of delegate.
