MEssEs. EDrToRs TIE convection was en-
gagged during an OF yesterday afternoon and
night in considering the majority and minority
platforms. t was q most excited and taTLu-
lent session; made SO chiefly By The efforts On
the part Of the anti-Douglas men 70 prevent =
vote On the main question. However, about
twelve O'Clock the Prsvioas question was sus-
GAINED, and tomorrow morning al ten O'Clock
fixed for taking The vote. TIE indications ere
that the convention viii accept the report OF
the majority b. decided majority. I learn
that the Tennessee delegation win be divided
on the question, and hat in az probability a
msiority Of our Members will be for the report
OF the majority. L is the universal impression
that ii viii not be long before this question Of
platforms wiz be disposed q. ana tie eonven-
ton will proceed immediately 10 ballot or th,
candidate fer President This morning Ia,
Douglas men are mere confident than ever
They say they can pon almost II not quite. 4
majority En- the first ballot For myself
cannot see why both platforms and nomine,
cannot Be made By twelve O'Clock to-uorrov
night.
The Alabama delegation sin threatens {
withdraw if he minority platform is adortet
CT Douglas nominated. Very little impor,anc
has been attached to the threat up to this tim,
but, bssing ny opinisn upon recent inf1rma

It is now a Fixed fact that he Democratic
convention al Charleston is divided into two
sections, and that a second convention has
been organized, which styles ITSELF Ties outh-
err convention, carrying Of something Ike
one-tentb OF The national convention. The
associated press reporter keeps as in tolerabis
ignorauce Of the exact pr0Ximate cause Of this
division. and we shall not therefore venture
upon any comments until we are enabled 70
see the status Of the ease. We have despaired
Of getting any clear view Of il from tele-
graphic reports, and shah therefore await the
proceedings bymail-
The regular convention made no progress
as FAR as we are advised By telegraph. No
bslioang was had. Upon a nearer aad clearer
view Of the causes Of this extraordinary d.
visi7l, which casts a heavy responsibility
somewhere, W. intend to freely and fully re-
view the circumstances.
