John Cochrane Leaves the Regensy im Disgust. ILLNESS OF THE NEW YORK DELEGATES, Reey dey ae, OUR SPECIAL CHARLESTON DESPATCH. Ouanizsron, April 94, 1908. Last evening the delegations of six Southern States nold another caucus, at which great excitement pro- vailed. They came to the fimal conclusion that unless Abere ia a reeelution inzerted in the platform to protect the rights of the South im the Territories they will secede im @ body from the Convention. As this will searesly be done, there is every probability of secession. ‘The Albany Regency faction, who are supposed to have ‘the control of the Now York delegation, are exasporating the South by insiating on the nomination of Douglas. They say they will cast the vote of the State for him as a wit, and they are lobbying for him with the other delegations. Richmond admits the South will not go for him, but says he will perhaps be compelled by the pressure of the western distriets ef the State te give him the vote of New York. By the exertions of John Oescb rane, however, Douglas stock is falling, snd there are net thirty-eight delegates certain out of the seventy against bim—ibat is, nineteon votes to sixteen. Besldes, there are several doubtful men whe may be brought over, perhaps six mall Belmont and \Werworth fill two of the vacancies. They are believed ‘Yo be Douglas men. There 1s a combination ef meney jan rowdyism here to force Douglas on the Convention, ‘Dut tt will fail. His friends have said at Hibernian Hall they will prevent any other nomination if they were to stay here for two years; and some said they would stay till the day of their death; but they will not be able to do what they threaten. They will want apwards of one bundred votes under the two thirds rule. They reckon now one bundred and twenty-five; but even if they are not reok- oning without their host they cannot retain them. They can only bold at most the sixty-six votes of the North- ‘west. They cannot permanently control any of the Fastern delegation. They do not cease io boast that they will nominate him. ‘The lobby force for Douglas here from New York is conapicuous in the Convention, with Dick Connolly at the head and some very rewdyish fellow at the tail, appointed Sergeant-at-Arms, and occupying the floor of the bouge and running about, to the great disorder of the Convention. One would almost suppose he was in Tam- moany Ball. Jobn Clancy is working hard for Douglas. ‘Wood's speech last night, before the Committees on Credentials, was most masterly and dignified. From John Cochrane’s manner it was evident his heart ‘e-not in the business. It is a pity these two men should ‘ve placed in the false position of apparent opposition te each other by the machinations of the Regency. They bave both won golden opinions from all. From the misrepresentationa of Wood’s enemies many people here expected to see a rowdy. They are sur- pried to find a poliched gentieman of great ability. The feeling throughout the city is very strong in his faver. On the presentation of the report of the Committee on Organization this morning at the Convention, an extraor- dimary fact transpired. After the committee had adjourn- ed, minority got together and appended a resolution, which had been voted dowa by the committee, to the effect that the votes of the delegates should be cast as of individuals, and not by States, or as unite, Mr. Richardson, of Illinois, supported the resolution, and ¢aid to vote as a unit was not binding on delegation, unless they wero instructed. ‘This is a dodge to get the scattered votes for Douglas in ‘he South and in those States where majorities are against him. There is the greatest excitement and indignation at thie trick. The practice has been to let each delegation decide for itself how tts own vote should be cast. With the two-third rule, a small faction could paralyze the action of a large majority. ‘A division of the question was made, and the offloers nominated by the Committes were unanimously elected. ‘At their head s Caleb Cushing, as permanent Chairman. ‘The resolution allowing each individual vote of the delegates to count was finally carried by a large majority, New York voting for it as a unit. Mr. Barrow, of Arkansas, offered a» resolution that the Convention do not proceed to nominate a candidate till the platform is adopted. ‘A motion tp lay this on the table waa lost by two hun- dred and seventy and # half azainst thirty-two and a half for it, ‘The resolution was then carried, ‘This ia important. Inthe New York delegation, after consultation, it wes found thero were two majority for the resolution, and it cast its vote asa unit. ‘The Conyention then adjourned till to-morrow. Tbe Douglas men boast that they have gained thirty votes by the resolution adopted to-day allowing the votes ‘of minorities 1n delegations to count. For instance, he bas gained ten votes in Pennsylvania. Many did not on- derstand the effect of the resolution, and voted for it be- capse they thought they would be cisiranchised if they id not. Others oppoeed to Douglas voted for it on the principle of giving him fair play. ‘The resolution about having the platform bofore the nomination is against Douglas, though his frends this afternoon fay the length he is ready to go with the South will surprise tt. But it is too tate. ‘The action of the New York delegation on this resola- tion was a victory over Cagger & Company, who wanted to bave the candidate nominated first. The selection of Groeswell as the New York member of the Committee on \ Resolutions is another defeat of the confidence men. ‘The Committee on Resolutions have mét;'und have » very exciting debate, the Southern members insisting on baying 2 plank In the platform to protect their rights in tbe Territoriea, and the Northern men objecting to a slave cote. Here the fight ts begun on which hangs the fate of the democratic party. It wili probably end in @ secession, and a jonctiop with the Baltimore Convention. The time fer hae been forther argument ex terded by {he Commitieo om Credentials 3 ease of the New Yerk contested sents, amd a: the Convention adjourned to-day te give the weel the :« 1 to the Committee, the result was unfair te Wood, as tt would enable the whele Convention te hear Cochrane’s speco, theagh they did net near Wood. The Weed delegaies Decame ineensed at this, Cochraze, however, did net peak, and left im disgest as the delegation intimated they wanted his serviecs ne lopger, and appointed Fair- ‘ehild, whe broke dews. Wood’s nal reply of a quarter ofan heur was mest effective and bold. He cautioned the Convention to rejest him at their peril. Ii im beloved the Committee are about balanced. Cochrane denounees hia delegation and wif probably joim Weed. The Wood delegates say they wil’ net now be satiefied with ha and balf. It ts stated that unless the Weed delegates are adraitied, and thewhole of the Rieb- mond delegates rejected, the delegations of saveral Southern Bta:es will take this opportunity of seceding and forming a separate Convention with the Wood delogater and thore of some other Soathern States. @ While I write the following telegraphic despatch bas decm hunded to me By a distinguished geutieman here:— Barrz Grovxy or San ame Txxas, Aprii 21, 1866. ‘The people, assembled en masse, have st this tiae aad plaee cominated Sam licostom as the people's candidate for President in Nover.ber next.

Randall, a venerable geatioman, did Doughs great mischief. Mr. Randall handed him his cart, aod soon after Mr. Ricbardsen made an apology in the Coe- vention. Douglas stock is net improved since my last despateh. notwithstanding tbe erganized clappers in the guileries applanding everything that looks favorable to nim, and the bost of eutsiders on the floor obstructing the repor’- ere, For the present Dickinson and @uthrie appear to have the best chance of the nomination. Several New Yorkers here, inclading Postmaster Fow- ler, are sick of diarrhos, probably from the great heat and drir king so much bad water. There f@ a serenade to Wood to-night. Tremendocs crowd—great excitement OUR SPECIAL WASHINGTON DESPATCH. Wasumeron, / pril 24, 1860. A friend ef Judge Deoglas, writing from Chiricctea on the 22d inst., says:—The prospects for the momiaation of Dougingare flattering. Nethiog but the treachery of his friends cap defeat him. There was a public mesting held at the large hall, at which there was a large con- course of men from all sections of the country. A most Fignificant {act was developed, that not ome of the speakers urged any other than the claims of Judge Douglas. Bon. T. Butler King, ex-member of Ooogrees trom Georgia, spcke in behalf of the “Little Giaat.” ‘There was an enthusiasm manifested for Douglas thi as not anticipated. Firmness and decision are all that are requisite to success. The friends of other aspirants are desponding, and are beard to say that they thourht it probable that they. would have to take up a new man, cne not heretsfore thouvh: of. The fact ie, that the opponerts of Judge Douglas are divided, Many of them, a8 s0om as their first choice is dropped, are for Dovugias as a socond choke. Gevernor Powell, Mr. Barnett, Dr. Green, Mr. Caldwell, and otbers in Guthrie’s interest, are here. They can eflect nothing. They are the most desponding of all others here, There is not even the shadow of a hope of Guthrie’s success. Twelve out of the twenty- six delegates from Pennsylvania have declared they will neyer suppor! Gnthrie under any circumstanees, and the other fourteen are anderstood to be for Breckinridge. There is not a word of truth im the report that Judge Douglas has written a letter declaring that he will accept the nommation apon apy plaiferm. His friends state that he wold net wri'e = lever of that description even to secure his nomination ard election. ‘The selection of Cushing, anti-Douglasite, az Prosident | ud the adoption of a resylution at Charleston in favor of erecting a p’atform, are viewed here as evidences that Dovg'as cannct be nominated by a whole Convention. The opinion «f Douglas’ friend: here is, thatif he has yotes enough im the Comyention to nominate him, the same power can reassert the Cincinnati platform. It is coneeded on all hands that, in the event of such action, the South, after unitedly opposing the doctrine of squatter sovereignty, would secede, and elect a slave code plat- form, and : ominate upon it some such man as Jeflurson Davis. Ihave heard the name of Boteler, member of Congress from the Harper’s Ferry district, of Virginis, named asa candidate for the Southern bolters, inasmuch as he is a South Americao, and sufficiently altra on the slavery question to suit the extreme fire caters. Some «f the Cobb, Hunter, Davis and Breckinridge men, expresa themeelves bitterly againet the idea of nominating Douglas. Qne of the most prominent of them remarked to-day that every Southern delegate who voted for Dougjaz should, before returning to his constituents, pat a brass collar about his neck, bearing the 8. A.D. ‘The prevading opinion here is that the Convention will break up In @ row, growing out of disputes relative to the construction of the platform. THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONVENTION. Caar.eston, April 24, 1860. ‘The National Democratic Convention reassembled at ten o'clock this morning. , The Committee on Permanent Organization reported in favor of Hon. Caleb Cushing for President, and one Vice President and Secretary from each State in the Union. Those of New York are, Erastus Corning and J. Edward Qcop; Maryland, W. D. Bowie and B. F. Lowe; Pennsyl- vania, Thomas Cunninghem and F. Van Zandt, A cespatch from Washington was shown around the bal from a member of the Cabinet, declaring that tho re- ports of dissension in the Cabinet growing out of Walker’s testimony are entirely destitate of foundation, and that the Cabinet were never more entirely harmonious. ‘The Committee on Permanent Organization aleo report- ed an additional rule, to wit :—That in any State in which It hag vot been provided or directed by its State Conven- tion how ita vols may be given, the Convention will re- cognize the right of each delegate to cast his individual ryote. Mr. Wricr, of Pennsy!vania, made a strong appeal for harmony. If harmony did not prevail here, the nomina tions to be made would not be worth the paper on which they were recorded when brought before the people. He was in favor of the rule. Every delegate should be permitted to cast his vote in accordance with his convic. tions and those of bis constituents, Ponnsyivania hed never yoted asa unit excert when their sentiment wag upanimous. He cloeed by demanding the previous ques- tion, and the yote was then taken on that part of the ro- port relating to presidirg officers, and it was sdopted upanimourly. Wr. Frourxoy, the temporary Chairman, then retarned. thanks, counselling moderation and harmony. We are all marching under one fieg. TSe domocrane party has but ome fisg—tho fiag of ovr country. He denounced rectionatiam, and hoped no more allusions would be monde to meh divisions, Hon.

(Loud applause.) Mr. Cashing was again londly cheered upon the concia. sien of bis address, About baif an bour was then spent in seating the Vice Presidents and arranging for the Sscretaries, aud also in Preparing for a formal and energetic evforcement of the partamentary rules in the future proceedings of the Oon- vention. A warm debate then sprang up on the rnle reported by the Committee on Organization, in whieu Mesars. Hick: ardsop, MoCork, Cessna, of Pennsylvania ;Barry, 0 Mis- eieatppi; Josiah Randal), of Pepneylvania, and many others ook part. ‘Several of the Southera delegates opposed the rule. Mr. Rant also opposed it, declaring thas certain re- fractory members in the Peansylvania delegation pro posed to violate and misrepresent their constituents ip voting for Dovglas, whose nomination, in his opinion, would lead to certain defeat. He them went into a re- view of the action of preceding Democratic Conventions on this sdbject. Mr. Ricnarpson rose to reply, and asked Mr. Randal) who made him an expounder of demecratic principles and freedom? How long bad the gentleman been in the demo cratic ranks? ‘This caused cries of “Order” and great excitement Several persons rose to points of order. ‘The Cuaman decided that Mr. Richardson war en titled to the floor, and then changed his decision denying bis right. Mr. Riwigpson, standing ona chair tn the centre of tbe hall, with his sleever rolled up, and determined to be hoard, was finally allowed to goon, and agaio attacked Mar, Randall as haying recently come into the fold, allud- ing to his political antecedents as entitling his oplaions on democracy to but little consideration. He did not desire, atter a life’s services in the cause, to be reproved by the recruits of yesterday. (Applause,) AFTERNOON SESRION. Attwelve o'clock the Convention was called to order ogain. Mr. Jackson, of Georgia, rose to » question 0” privilege, relative to his State delegation. 4A wotion to adjourn tll four o'clock was loat. ‘The question was then called on the motion tostrike ont the rule relative to the right of members of each delega- tion to vote as they think proper, unless instructed by tbe Convention that appointed them. During the calling of the roll the greatest excitement existed. ‘Tho Tennessee, Virginia and Indisna delegations pro- tested against the announcement of the Chairman, giving the voter of the several States as a unit against the adop- tion of the rule. Ten of the twelve Tenneesce delegates were opposed to the manner in which the vote of that Stare had been re- corded. ‘The vote was finally announced as follows.—Ayes, 101; nays, 198. So the rule was adopted, and the majority of @ delegation cannot compe! the minority to vote with them as a unit unlesa insiructed by the Convention thas appointed them. ‘The resolution offered yesterday for the appoint- ment of a committee on resolutions, and a plat form was then called up, and sn amendment offered that no balloting be allowed for President or Vice President until the committee have made their report. A vote was first taken on the resolution for the appoint- ment of the commitiee, which was adopted. The committee was then appointed. ‘The vote on the rule against unit voting is regarded ag a test vote. ‘The vote to lay it on the table waa as follows:— Sonta Carolina. . Georgia Total ayes 101; nays, all the balanee of the States, 198. The rule was then adopted by acclamation. After the Committee on Platform was announced, the motion was renewed on the proposition that no balloting ehall tske place until the report of the Committeo on Platform be adopted. A motion to lay the resolution on the table was re- <cted —ayes 3234, nays 27034. ‘The vote was then taken on the resolation, and it was adopted by acclamation. A long debate then ensued on a proposition to limit member! speaking more, than once on the same dject, and it was finally laid over till to-morrow. The Prestpent was directed to invite ministers of the Gospel to open the Convention with prayer. Judge Meer presented the Alabama platform, and it was referred to the Committee on Platform. The Committee on Credentials announced that they ‘would not be able to report before to-morrow morning. ‘The Convention adjourned till ten o'clock to-morrow morning. OUR CHARLESTON CORRESPONDENCE. Cuanieston, 8. C., April 21, 1860. “Arrival of thé Steamer Spaulding at Oharleton, de. The S& R. Spaulding arrived at Charleston at quarter past eight o'clock this morning, after lying at anchor on the bar all night. She came up in company with the Keystone State, from Philadelphia, and the Neahville, from New York, both filled with delegates and outsiders. ‘The question of a race or no race was not mooted, but it was universally conceded that the 8. R. Spaulding beat them all on music. Making fast to accommodation wharf, we went on shore. FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF INHABITANTS, ‘The first object that attracted our prerticular atiention ‘was a negro clave, who looked as f he would have gone to the devil Jong ago if he had not had a master to clothe, feed and hocee him. The characteristics of the white people are not at all diffierent from the characteristics of those who would be Ikely to atsend an arrival of the tort in apy other American port. But there was po cheering like that which geve as a fair send off from Boston and Baltimore. The crowd seemed altogether indifferent whether we went ashore or turned back ; and as for any signs or in- dications of the assembling of a national Convention that ta to nettle the destinies.of the country for the next four Years, you might ss weil have expected to have met them in the wigwam of # Flathead Indian, The reception of the 8. R. Spaulding and her passengers, including the dele- gates to the mighty Convention about being held in thie city, was no fiat that it was absolutely stupid; and it ere- ated bo other impression than that the sieamer was vinit- ing @ one-horee town In Massachusetts, Bat mark the change. WE GO UP TOWN AD SRE TRE MILLS NOVAR AND Tite WONDRR- FUL PROPLE THEREIN. Parting throngh sundry streets we reach a fine theroughfsre, on whieh fe situated the Milis House, the rripelpa? hote? 'n the piace. Here we did find come peo Ple whe lookea as if they were strangers, and had come and end aces, and funny f:008—s0 fompy that they made the cidest ;clitisians blaah—but i seems that the woret of the funny esfaces came from the North; and that the genial, whole-souled, sun shiny, donhemme visages we see, are the visages of the Jooking as they generally are, the Southern dele- QM aspect of profound concern and anxiety. ‘The opponents of the “Little Giant” are shy and wily. ‘They bave very little to say elther one way or the other ip public, amd when eloeely cornered they “‘ahut pan’’ al- together leave to surmise and thelr uliimate designs. On the other hand; tho Dou- men are open, clarion topgned and defiant. Southerser throatens an ert and explosion in the convention if Dougias should be nominated. The North and the West ray, ‘Let the explosion occur, we sbs)) stand by Douglas, and i{ the time bas come to break up the democratic party, let it break. We koow we re- present the masses, nd are bound to go abead.” Southerners say that the bare mention of the name of Douglas is ike the urging of an joeberg into a warm at- mosphere—it chilis and benumbe all within its intluence Let a Southerner proclaim bimscif a friend of Douglas and his pobtical prospects sro frozen forever, or for as the South is concer: There are localities where this severe sentiment Coes Dot prevail, even iu some of the jargeat elavebol'ing districts, Govervor Aiken’s, for in- stapes; Dut that Xie theexisting apd paramount senti ment Of @ majority of Southerus, seems at this moment to de #n undoubted fact. At the lime of writing, things are vory much mixed. We find it almost impossible to arrive at any positive con- clusion regarding ‘he Convention and ite resale. That Douglas » far abead, is conceded on all bands, His frienis “are the strongest al ihe hotels, on the streets, and af the different headquarters. The Northwestern delegates have bired Hiberuian Hall for their Deadquarters, at the rate of $200 per coy, These delegates are all for Douglas, excepthyg In instances before noted, in Mipnerote, do. ‘They sre mowty vigorous and substantial men, ly young, and all evthusisatc asd determined. are experienced in Western political warfare, and have deen the life of many s hard fonght battle.

New Hamp. ebire is moro for Douglas than she was five days ago. ‘Verment ie also Uovgias.

We shalt not be surprised to see Gen. Batler vote for Dougiss before we fourteenth ballot. Mr. Johnson of the Seventh Masrachuretie clstrict is more Douglass to- day than previously, aud he bas been overhauling the Bepinere terri-ory for some time pert. Tt is understood ‘that Douglass ané his Sriende are much incensed at the conrse of rome members of the Mercachuseus delegation, and that in the event of the nomination and election of the Judge, the patronnge of the federal government will Rot he bestowed upop apy who at this time betray and te) the confidence and the power of their constituencies.

Altbough there are now about three, thousand strangers in the city, not more than three hundred or four hundred are delegi The masses, of course, have no vote in the Conventien, but they have a powerful voice and in. fiuence outside. A thousand men will be here from some of the Southern cities to-morrow, or by Thursday. Over 200 broke down on a steamer from Montgomery.
