the duty of the federal government to protect
an species of property in the territories, on the
nigh seas, or any other place over which it has
jurisdiction.
The correspondent of the New York Herald
says The committee adopted Mr.. Bayard's
resolutions by one majority. 1t is scarcely
likely they will be carried in the convention.
CHARLESTON, April 26tl-12 M-The New
l ork delegation, to-day, rejected Bayard's
proposition, but instructed their member OF
the platform committee to vote for Mr.. Ste
phens proposition, which affirms the Cincir-
matt platform and declares their purpose to
abide by and enforce all decisions OF the SUI
preme court. The Pennsylvania delegation
met, but took no action on the subject. Inns
question engrosseS all present interest, as
rupture is imminent without some satisfactory
agreement.
CHARLESTON April 26-Evening.-A great
sectional excitement is raging here tonight.
The cotton states are rampant, and threaten
to leave the convention IN body and nomin-
ate Jefferson Davis for president and Fernando
Wood tor vice president, if the platform does
not repudiate squatter sovereignty.
Mr. Douglas has telegraphed to his friends
to accept the Cincinnati platform and the bred
Scott decision, but not to go one step beyond
this.
The committee on the platform met again at
seven o'clock this evening, and each member
of the committee is instructed by his delega-
ton as to how he shall act.
1t is stated that Mississippi, Texas, Louis
iana, Florida, and Alabama, will leave the CON
yention in case of fare-up, and probably
Georgia and South Carolina Tomorrow will
be an exciting day.
Mr. Yancey is cooked and primed to the
full, and the fire eaters generally are in the
greatest state of excitement.

Outside Of the Convention.

CuARLEsToN, April 26.-rhe committee
on the platform had long and angry session.
The Cincinnati platform, with general clause
declaring the decision of the supreme count, in
the bred Scott case, obligatory, is much urged
as a compromise by the north, but the south
demands something beside barren gcocraties
The leading Douglas men are willing to make
almost any concessions for the domination, but
rural districts of Ohloand elsewhere resist the
slave code MS more than they can carry. SEN
ators pugh and Barksdale prepared and pre-
scented a resolution to the effect that it is the
duty of the federal government to protect ev.
cry species of property in the territories, and
on the high seas, and wherever its Jurisdiction
extends, by all constitutional means This
was rendered as compromise. The resolu'
tons OF Senator Davis, and OF several southern
states were also before the committee.
