mr. DOUGLAS AND THE TWO.
THtED5 NULE.

Tho the two-,hirds rule was originally adop-
ed BIZ tile National Democratic Convention for
the purpose Of preventing the FREQ States from
controlling the nominations Of tho party
Within the last eix months the friends of Nj.
Douglas have expressed very decided hos
ullty to tie rule, insisting that it was anti
Democratic, and ought to be summariy abol'
ished by The Charleston Convention. It was
probably part Of the Douglas programme, at
one time, to substitute majority for the two.
thirds rule; but tho idsa, it appears, has been
abandoned. It is now said on high authority
that, should the attempt be made, Mr: Douglas
Ia. instructed his friends to oppose it. The
<objec. Of this statement is to crcate an i'm
vresg;on favorable both to Douglas strength
in the Convention and to his ,naguaulmity; for
nobody knows better than be that # such 4
proposition does not come from his own
friends, it will not be made at all. It is but
short time eince tue organs Of Mr.. Douglas
were insisting that If their favorite
zhould obtain q majority in the Con
7ention, tue nomination ought to bo at
once given to him by unanimous vote. And
elis claim YVES enforced By the assertion that
in the Convention Of 1856 Mr. Douglas with.
drew rs 5000 Us Nj. Buchanan received ma
sorItr ofn1l the votes Of tho Convention, there

ponent without compliance with the two-thlrds

Tile claim that Mr. Douglas was Withdrawn
as soon as Mr.. Buchanan received q majority
Of all ths yotee, is seen to be false. The latter
received majority on the 9Th ballot, but Mr..
Douglas continued to be candidate for ten
b.lo:s after Mat, It was not until Mr. Pierce
had dropped entirely out Of the struggle, leav-
ing but himself and Buchanan as contestants
not until le had assured himself that his
whole strength was 76 rotes short Of tho num-
Der requisite to nominate, that he gavs in.
Te arc at loss to discover the mngnanimity
Of the act; nor do we see on the face If the
ballotings any evidence that Douglas favored
the majority principle in 1856. What lie
may have written or teIegraphed about that
time with the view to advance his prospects in
1860, il Of very little weight in face Of the
fact that he continued candidate before the
Convention for two days after Buchanan had
received majority Of all the votes.

The Mexican Treaty.
Especial Dis2atch to tie New York Tines.

WAsulS67oS. tEaay. April IL
Senator S;:nonds has arranged four several
amendments, which lso will o1er to the Mexican
Treaty, after consultation with Republican
friends. First, separate list cf products to be
admitted free into each country. Second, addi-
tional articles to the list Of Mexican products,
including c6dee and mahogany. Third, i clause
distinctly stating that four millions is 10 BE- paid
for Free Trade advantages. Fourth, at the end
Of the article authorizing tie President to use
troops 10 defend transit, and other direction Of
Congress. Allthese amendments meet the mp.
probation ofthe friends Of the Treaty, aad Ihave
good reason to believe it will be called up by
The Republicans and ratified.
THE CHARLESTON CONTENTION.
The hotels arc crowded with delegates to the
Charleston Convention. Canyassiug goes on
lively, and bets have beea made to a considera-
!'le extent. Every one nearly is now OF opin-
ion thrt the chances Of 3lr. Douglas for the
nomination are doubling every dar. The South

gramna. Himself and friends are in high Elee
at the prospect Of his success in the Canvrn-
tion, md % mot wish to be insured aga.nst any
man whom the Republicans may put in romi-
nation. The President says, rs know posi-
rvely, that MT. Douglas stands Lot ghost Of a
chanre-uo better than his own, which he says

Douglas u.en are attempting to get up is blustsr

The New Orleans papers Of Ap.il 18th con-
tain letters Frcm Brownsville ualer date Of
April 9Th, containing the following intelligence
Of Cortinas' baad Of mnrauders:
Until the last few days the opinion has pre.
vailed that Cortlnas had quit the vicinity Of tile
river aEa gone into The interior Of Mexico.
Sc,y rumors are rife that lie is again in the vi
miles from SIatamoras,) with largely increased
lor.c-in sone Instances estimated as high as
five lu11red men.
On tho 4th Inst, Capt. Ford crossed the river
in :he vicinity Of I:cyucsa, with about seventy
Rangers, and demanded Of the su.l.or;t,es Of
the to.Fn tho surrender OF some twenty five
men who, the Captain had go2sl reason to know,
hal been in the service Of Cortinas. The author
tiles wanted to kuew Of G:pt. Ford bv what ar-
thority he cTns5rd tae nutional boundary aud
entered Mexican to*n with IN armed rorce.
Tie Captafn replied that he believed that an
understanding hsl been had by the authorities
on each side OF tie river, that the American
IN 10! pursuit of Cortinas or Of these implicated
with him. mud that he (Ford) lad now crossed
tue rirer and com. to Rcynosa to demand tue
delivery to him Of some ol Cortinas' men who
we're in aud about the town. The authorities
answered that they would not comply with the
uetuaHG-tuAI many OF tue FuFtfea demanded
had neyer been implicated with Cortinas, mud If
they had, they would not surrender them to be
executed as summarliv RS they had reason to
believe would be the case.
Ford told them that lie would take the men
by force. Whereupon tue population Of ReyIo-
81 commenced arn,ing, aud raraded . force of
about two hundred men, and the authorities
told Ford that they would resist to the death
aEF attempt On his part to arrest any Mexicans.
Ford upon seeing So formidable demoustra-
ton, recrossed the river for reinforce.nen,s
The next day Capt. Stonenan, who Is in com-
maud Of the Whole mounted force Changers
and Eegulars) made g formal demand OF the
authorities Of Reynoss, for the surrender of the
men, as previously demanded. The authorities
then asked time to adri=e Gen. Garcia, At Mata-
mo:ae. This request S1oneE3a refused to com
ply wi:h, and returned, as IN ultimatum, that
unless the authorities were prepared to accssd
to Ais demand on tha morning Of the 9Th, Ito
day, be would cross the river into Reynosa and
ENFORCE it. The force under the command Of
Stonetnan amounts to something upward Of 800
men, ali mounted.
Appearances very much Indicate TINT there
has already been ! conflict between our troops
and the people Of feyuosn. Very great excite
l think within few hours We shall bear some
stirring news.
The capture Of the Ni7anon steamers gare
great satisfaction to the Liberal party at Mata
moras, and there wcre grea. rejoicings when
the news Of the retirement Of Airamon from
Vera Cruz reached there.
