nss.The Charleston Convention is not
attended By the crowd expected, and thc
"hospitable shiVerly' are making losing
game by their attempted extortions
MoNDAY.-The Convention was called
to order by the Chairman of the Genera
Committe, Mr.. Smalley of Vermont, who
is particn!a. frienl of Mr.. Douglas. II
the case of the disputed delegations from
Illinois and New York, he arbitrarily ad
mitted those supposed to be most friendly
to Douglas, shutting out the others, entirely
aud raising considerable feeling among the
opponents of Douglas. Mr.. Flournory OF
Ark. was chosen temporary Chairman, and
Mr. Ritchie, of Va, Secretary. A com
nittee of one from each State (save Hi.
nois and New York; was appointed on
credentials, and another on permanent Or
ganization.
TUEsDAY-Thc organization was COM
pleted, by the election of Caleb Gushing
of Mass. as President, with Vice Presi-
dent and Secretary from each State-Messrs
Cunningham and Vansaut representing
Pennsylvania, and the supposed Douglas
men from New York being included. Mr..
Gushing made an eloquent speech-quoted
much from Calhoun, the Chief Of Null
6ers-and said they must and should unite
and defeat the traitorous fanatics Of the
North.
The committee presented an additional
rule, that, in any State which has not pro-
vided or directed By its State Convention
how its vote may be given, the Convention
will recognize the right Of each delegate
to cast his individual vote.
Several Of the Southern delegates oppo-
sed it.
Mr. Randall of Pa, opposed it, declar-
ing that certain refractory members in the
Pennsylvania delegation propose to violate
aud misrepresent their constituents IN vo-
ting for Mr.. Douglas, whose nomination
in bis opinion, would lead to certain defeat.
lie went into review Of the preceding
action of Democratic Conventions on this
subject.
Mr.. Richardson Of IL, asked Mr.. Ran
dali who made him an expounier Of Dem
ocratic principles and precedent. How
long has the gentleman been in the Dem
ocratic ranks? HIS political autecedents
entitled his opinions on Democracy to but
little consideration. He did not desire,
after a life's service in the cause, to be
reprovcd by the recruits Of yesterday.
Mr.. Wright, of Penn, made a strong
appeal for harmony il the proceedings.
The vote for striking out the rule was
