See Presipent’s Recsrrion.—The last reception of the season, at the Executive Mansion, will take Place this evening, from 8 to 10 o’clock. a Missocri at CHARLEsSTON.—We learn froma gentleman of excellent judgment who was Present at the meeting of the recent Missouri Democratic State Convention,who cautions us agalist placing any confidence whatever in the boasting claims of the Douglasites to having carried the delegation to Charleston from that State. That ere being elected, the State's delegates were called out and Pledged to the support of the platform or resolutions then and there adopted; than which no others so far adopted by a Southern State Democratic Conven- tion are more emphatically opposed to the squatter- sovereignty phase of anti-slavery by which Doug- las swears. We are further assured by the gentle- man referred to above, that the delegation to Charleston stand, in their individual preferences, about as explained in the dispatch from St. Louis published in the Scar yesterday. Viz: Hunter 11, Breckinridge 3, Dickinson 2, Douglas 2. a Massacnusetts at CHaRLEsTON.—A consid: erable portion of the Massachusetts delegation to the Charleston Cenvention are now here, and through conversation with them it has become apparent that out of the whole thirteen districts, or delegations of two each, to which the State is entitled, Senator Douglas can receive the votes of bat three. The Douglas strikers now in Wash- ington are consequently in a great fiutter concern- ing them, having foolishly believed that Mr. D. would receive the unanimous support of New England at Charleston. Their effort certainly is to browbeat the Massachusetts men to vote their Preference, rather than their own convictions. It has certainly failed woefully, even so early—as not a vote more than those of three-thirteenths of the whole delegution can Mr. Douglas receive from Massachusetts at Charleston. aaah Sas a Inpiana and Onto aT CHARLESTON.—It bas transpired here within the last twenty-four hours, that if the supporters of the pretensions of Mr. Douglas at Charleston from Indiana and Ohio will agree to vote, after the third ballot, for the candi- date preferred by the minorities of those two dele- gations, he will receive the unanimous support of those two delegations on those first three ballots. Not otherwise, however. The representatives of two of the Indiana districts and six of the Ohio districts constitute the minorities to whom we re- fer. ——— Maine at Cuar.eston.—The Presence of a considerable number of the Maine delegates to Charleston here at this time, enables us to say with certainty that the delegation of that State will stand, Douglas, five ; anti-Douglas, three. The distant public tn making their calculations of the probable result of the Charleston Conven- tion, may rely on this information. - ea MINNESOTA aT CHARLESTON.—Quite a number of the Minnesota delegation to the Charleston Convention are now in Washington; and it is evident that out of the tive votes to which the State is entitled in the Convention, Mr. Douglas is sure of receiving but two. —_.>—___ Connecticut at CHaRLestox.—Ont of the twelve (doubled) votes to which Connecticut is entitled at Charleston, according to the estimate of the best informed among them now here, Mr. Douglas will receive six. Tue Ovtsipers.—The crowd of outsiders, bound for Charleston, now here, numbering more than a thousand, without estimating the delegates and alternates among us, are nearly all Ppartizans of Douglas, and come almost entirely from States hopelessly Republican in politics ‘They talk as coolly of carrying Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, for Douglas, as Democrats do of carrying Virginia for the Democracy if any sound Democrat be nominated. ‘They have been assem- bled here on the call of their chief, for effect upon the delegates also here assembled. Though they brag and bluster as Douglasites only know how to brag and bluster, from present appearances they stand as little chance of turning the vote of asingle district in his favor, as of securing for the Democ- racy, even abolitionized as they seek to have the Charleston Convention abolitionize it, the votes of New Hampshire, Maine, or Massachusetts. a Tue Presipency of THE ConveNnTiox.—The developments of the views of the three or four hundred delegates to the Charleston Convention, now here, lead us to believe that the presidency of the body will fall to the lot of the Hon. Caleb Cushing, of Mass. a Repvuction oF Postack BETWEEN THE UnitED States anp Luxempurc.—The postage between the United States and the Grand Duchy of Luxem- burg, by the Bremen mail, has been reduced from to 15 cents.

The route weed Honney Lake and Run boldt River is to be the scene of Col. Lander’s labors during the present season. He leaves for his pest of duty to-morrow. Col. Fauntleroy writes to Lieut. Gen. Scott that his information from El Paso is to the effect that events are likely to be enacted on the border sim- ilar to those at ‘Brownsville, and he suggests the employment of volunteers; but this is disconn- tenanced. and he is advised that the army forces in New Mexico will soon be adequately incressed. —_~ Proceedings ef Yesterday Afternoon. ———.___ IN THE Sevarz, yesterday, closed, Mr. Latham speaking to the Territorial resolutions of Mr. Brown, addressed the Senateat some length‘on the general subject of slavery, and replied with much force to the recent speech ‘of Mr. Seward, wherein the idea was advanced that | the Northern States were, emphatically speaking, “labor States, and as such were oppored fn in- terest to the Southern States. which were denom- inated ‘capital States."’ He believed the question of negro slavery was agitated by northern ticians rather as a means of securing Political wer than from any genuine feeling of philan- bropy. In obedience to a general law of nature, slavery would go where it was profitable, and nowhere else. He advocated. 2 compliance with the pecans of the Constitution, and that all needful protection should be given to slavery wherever it legally exists. On the conclusion of his remarks— Mr Brown hoped a vote would he taken on the resolutions, and if any gentleman desired to discuss the subject further, they could have an after our report CANDL. ke, 60-61. <Q MALL STORE: opportunity of doing so on the resolutions of his Navy Derartuents colleague, Mr. Davis Bureau of Provisiozs and Clothing.

Mr. Brown moved that the Senate insist on its amendments, and asked for a committee of con- ference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses; which was agreed to. Adjourned.

On motion of Mr. Burnett, its consideration was postponed until the Ist of May. Mr. Hickman, f-om the Committee on the Ju- diciary, Feported a bill supplemental to the act providing for the taking of the seventh and sub- sequent ceusus, &c., (to enable the Secretary of the Interior to organize a cencus bureau;) which ‘was considered and passed.
