Mr.. Meeks, OF Alabama, he'd always been
Union man, and was 80 still il the consti.
tutional rights Of the South were respected.
A delegate from 8. c., denied that there
had been any disunion sentiments here. He
thought the course proposed of disbanding
was singular one. We are about separat-
ing without recommending or taking any &C.
tion with regard to the Presidency. He
Convention repudiate the resolutions passed
here, that Committee be authorized to call
a National Convention.
Mr.. Jackson, of Co., thought this no time
to cry Union. There was no man in Geor-
gia who would shout for Union at the ex-
pense of the South. (Shouts of applause }
When the rights of the South are sacrificed
to the North | sm for liberty first and Union
afterwards. (Cheers.) II there be nobody
here to stand by me must quit the South.
Mr.. Whitley, of Del, moved to lay the
resolutions of Mr.. Meeks on the table, and
adjourn. The delegates from each State
can give to their States their reasons for the
course pursued. He therefore moved that
the Convention now adjourn.
Mr.. Meeks appealed to Mr.. Whitley to
withdraw moment, and said if any one sup
posed him to be devoted to the Union at the
expense Of the Southern rights they were
mistaken. Sever the Constitution and the
Union is gone. He wished to vindicate be-
fore the world as we'll as the Union, their
position. He wanted this great movement
to be properly understood.
Mr.. Barry, Of Miss, hoped this Conven.
tion would separate in union and harmony.
Where is South Carolina that she is not
ready to respond to the EXTREMIST doctrine OF
States Rights (Appause.) He deemed
it unnecessary to urge those doctrines
Here we are all united on them in some
form or other, and it 10 unnecessary to ex.
press them here. The other Convention has
not disbanded it has merely adjourned
Why, then, should we disband, instead o {
adjourning to meet elsewhere If we think
proper

Senator Douglas.

The position occupied at this time by
Stephen A. Douglas is one of which lie and
his friends may well he proud. No man, in
our opinion, has labored harder than he to
preserve in their purity the principles of the
Democratic party, the Constitution, and the
Integrity of the Union; and now, at this doy,
Notwithstanding the immense amount oil
prejudice and influence brought to bear
against him, he has been sustained by ma.
jority of the delegates of the Democratic
party n the Convention at Charleston
The people everywhere are for him-North
and South-end should he be nominated al

The Platform as adopted av
Charleston.

l. RESOLVED, That we, the Democracy OF
the Union. in Convention assembled, here.
by declare our afirmance of the resolution 8
unanimously adopted and declared as a plat
form of principles by the Democratic Con.
vention at Cincinnati, in the year 1856, be
Iieving that Democratic principles are un-
changed in their nature, when applied to the
same subject matter; and we recommend as
the only further resolution the following
Qnasmuch as differences of opinion exist
in the Democratic party as to the nature
and extent Of the powers OF q Legislature,
and as to the powers and duties of Con.
gress, under the Constitution OF the United
States, over the institution OF slavery with.
in the Territories
2. Resolved, That the Democratic party
will abide by the decisions of the Supreme
Court of the United States on the questions
of constitutional law.)
8. Resolbed, Thot it is the duty of the
United States to afford ample and complete
protection to all its citizens, whether at home
or abroad, and whether native or, foreign.
4. Resolved, That one of the necessities
of the age, in military, commercial and
postal point OF view, is speedy communica.
tion between the Atlantic and Pacific
States; and the Democratic party pledge
such constitutional governmental aid as will
ensure the construction Of Railroad to the
Pacific coast at the earliest practicable
period.
5. Resolved, That the Democratic party
is in favor of the acquisition Of the Island
OF Cube. ON such terms as shall be h)nora.
BILE to our selves and just to Spain.
g.. Resolved, That the enactments of State
Legislatures to defeat the faithful exection
of the fugtives slave law are hostile in
character, subversive of the Constitution
and revolutionary in their effect.

The Frontier Troubles,

General Houston has addressed anothe,
communication to the War Department,
respecting the troubles with the sovages on
the frontiers of Texas. The Indians are ra.
Taging counties, numbering and devastating
in all directions. Governor Houston urges
the immediate formation of regiment oil
mounted Texan volunteers, as the best
meaOs Of checking the depredatIons of the
Indians. 1t is not improbable that Genera
Scott's summons to Washington may have
reference to the disposition of the forces in
Texas. or the reinforcement of the troops
already there.

The Presidency and the House
of Congress.

In view of the possibility that the choice
of the next President of the United States
may devolve upon the present House OF
Representatives, we subioin a statement Of
its political cast by States. 1t will be borne
in mind that in choosing President, each
State casts one vote. The present House
is divided politically as follows:
Democratic-A Ia abama, Arkansas, Califor.
MIA, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, illinois,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oregon,
South Caroline, Texas, Virginia-l4.
Republican-Con Connecticut, Indiana, Iowa,
Maine, Massac achusetts; Michigan, Minnesota,
New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont,
wisconsin, 15.
Equally Divided.-Kentucky, Maryland
and North Carolina-3.
Acknowledgements.
1t requires II votes to effect choice, and
as neither tho Democrats nor the Republi-
cans have sufficient number, tn6 four isst
named States will, of course, hold "the bal.
ance of power" Should the House fail TO
elect President before the 18th of March,
that duty will then in effect deyolve upon
the Senate, which has the election of Vice
PreJideHt, who, under the provisions of the
Con stitutioD, becomes President of the Uni.
ted States. The Senate is composed OF
majority Of Democrats.-BGlI.S Sun.

The Charleston Convention

The delegates of the National Democratic
party assembled in Convention at Charles
ton on the 23d of April, and after a stormy
and, in some respects, disgra cefu session OF
ten days, adjourned on Thursday, without
making nomination, 10 meet in Baltimore
on the 18th of June.
From the bullotines Of Tuesday and Wed.
nesday it is not to he presumed that two
hundred and two of the votes could ever be
concentrated on any one Of the candidates,
no matter how long the session OF the Con-
vention had been protracted, and hence
there was no alternative but to adj urn
over. After returning to their constituents
and remaining among them for one month
the delegates will be enabled, it is to be
hoped, to come together at Baltimore ant
promptly and unitedly present to the Ameri-
can Democracy their STANFORD bearers for
the great campaign of this year, 1860. In
supporting Judge Douglas from the begin.
ming to the end, the delegates from the
Northwestern States represented the almost
universal choice Of their constituents. How
far the action Of the delegates from the
Cotton States, in seeding from and attempt
ing to break up the Convention, will be
sanctioned by their constituents, remains to
be seen. If tolerated without rebuke, there
will be condition of thirgs disclosed by no
means favorable to the harmony Of the De.
mocratic party. 1t cannot be conceded that
the delegates from few States shall make
the terms upon which they will meet with
the Delegates from the great body OF the
States of the Union. We do not, however,
despair OF the final harmonious action of the
National Convention, and while we regret
that it did not conclude its business at
Charleston by the unanimous nomination OF
the candidate who did obtain clear MAORI.
ty, we have faith that it will, at its adjourned
session at Baltimore, act with patriotic wis.
dom end harmony, and that its concluding
work will be approved by the Democracy in
every State in the Union.

and called upon Mr.. Barry, who took po.
sition on the stage and proceeded to amusc
