that the cotton States should soeede regarding
such movement quickenlng his chances for two
thirds But they do not estimates ils effect the
| naming southern States The result now depends
greatly on the shape the platform may assume soon
after the Convention adjourned the belief was enter
tained that the Louisiana resolutons covering Con-
easional proseeton 10 slavery n the Territories could
be carried from the complexion Of the committee Of
Northern members being willing to yield principle for
the candidate.

ceptabe, looking 10 an ultimate fusion fthe Wood
interest 10 the state Of New York. he will vote for
Mr.. Douglass unless q reaction occurs, and his

The Committee on Credentials Is still in session,
but majority favor the Sotts A large minority

ion. The Illinois case is now under consideration.
The New York Herald's correspondence
says: Last evening the delegations from the
Southern States held another caucus, at which
great excitgment prevailed They came E tie
final conclusion that unless there is a resolution
inserted in the platform 10 protect the rights
of the South in the Territories, they will secede
10 a body from the Convention. As this will
scarcely be done there is every probability Of
secession.

ceived last night
