~ The following is the latest telegraph
news, by this mornings Overland Stage
CHARLESTON, May 1st.
St. Andrews Hall last night was throng-
ed with members Of the boilers from the
Convention. John c. Preston, of South
Carolina. presiding On taking the chair
Mr. p. delivered short address He con-
sidered this great occasion. He said we
only know that the institutions Of our eoun-
~ are impefiIed. and we azp hare to pre-
serve our rights and re.lress our wrongs II
We had submitted, we would have done that
which would have driven us from the land
Of our forefathers, and deprived us of the
liberty they fought for, and ultimately
would have driven US from the spot on which
their sacred ashes repose.
Mr.. Ysncy followed with statement of
bis views Of the position occupied by the
southern delegates. We appear here sim-
ply as citizens of the State in which We
live We were sent to the National Dem
ocrstic convention a. delegates but our
mission has been fulfilled, and we return as
citizens from the late national convention,
which is now mere sectional gathering.
4 few southern delegates still remain there,
it rs true, but it rs in the hope Of inducing
these to forego their Black Republican pur-
poses Mr.. Yancy proposed that they should
take no motion but remain here and watch
the proceedings Of the regular convention.
Should that convention nominate Douglas,
1t would then become their duty to present
and recommend to the people Of the United
States candidates for President and Vice
President, and on asnational and coustitu-
tional basis. and. therefore, a southern ba-
sis. He thought no steps should be taken
by the seeding convention, uatil the prop
er time.
Mr. Bayard, of Delaware did not regard
the influence that overrulei principle in the
national convention, SO much as the spiri, of
Black Republicanisu. 1t was . struggle
for power and plumber, the ccrruptions and
bargains of general scramble for office
Mr.. &. was very severe on the New York
delegates, who come here, he said, profes-
sing . desire to join in such a nomination
as would suit the south, but as soon as they
had secured their seats turned their backs
on the south. He trusted that other States
would withdraw from that convention
and that it would be utterly dissolved
He did not consider that the .eceiers had
the power to make regular nominations, but
he woulI recommend ii it should be neces-
sary thet they should join in the recommen-
d.tion of some reliable candidate with a
written address to their constituents.
