Mr. Wargrsvry, of New York—I rise to the question of order, that under the rules of the House of Representa- tives the resolution must lie over for one day before it is comeidered. ‘The Puzmpant—If that question js insisted on the Chair maust decide that {t is well taken, and that the resolution cannot now come up for contideration. ‘Mr. Moxtcomery—The Convention this morning adopted mresolution relative to the appointment of a Democratic National Committee.

Mr. Movrat, of Virr‘nia, and Josan Rawpaiz, both claimed the floor, wif 88 given to Mr. Bigler, ot Penn- sytvania. He procoeded to address the Convention in favor of reconciling their differences, and producing ‘uniom and harmony, and preserving the integrity of the demooratic party. Be was interrupted by Mr. Bisuor, of Connecticut, who ¢latmed the floor, on the ground that ho moved the pre- ‘vious question at the time of adjournment last night, ‘The Cuam decided that the motion for the previous question jast night was not seconded, and therefore Mr. Bigler was eptitled to tho floor. Mr. Eictzr then introduced the Bayard resolutions, hoping that they may be the means of conciliation. He moved, as a means of testing the sense of the Coaven- tion, that they bo referred pack to the commities, with imsirnetions to report the Bayard reaolations to the Con- vention in one hour, Nk ae enn NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY.

After further debate, the Cuam stated that the motion to lay on the table the previous qnestion carries wih it ‘We ecveral platforms. Mr. Montcomeny them withdrew the motion to ny on the table.

Here the minority of the Georgie delegation read a re- (from Maryland). So the main question was ordered. ‘The question then recarred om the motion of Mr. Biaizm, to recommit the whole subject te the committes. ‘The Bayard resolutions are as follows:— ieciitin withens tear Vane et tien. oe prea 4 ekber by or Terraoriat ‘The fourth, fifth, sixth third, fourth, fifth and sixth of those reported by the majority.* i ‘The vote was announced as follews, amid great excite- ment:—Ayes, 153; pays, 151.

All the balance (152) were in the affirmative. ‘This vote shows that Douglas has neta majority; and even from one hundrod and fifty.one must be deducted ‘ix votes, which will be changed in the case of Peansyl- vania, This has rather discouraged the Douglas mea. ‘The minority is claimed as the first test of ‘Douglas’ strength, whilst the platform, which will probably be adopted by one-majority, is anti-equatter sovereignty, on which Mr. Douglas cannot stand. ‘The Presipxnt decided that the vote did not carry the instructions to report within an heur, and that the vote ‘weuld now recur on this part of Mr. Bigler’s motion. Mr. Srvarr, of Michigan, moved thata vote be taken on each of the resolutions. (Sensation. ) Nearly an hour more was spent in discussing questions of order, Senator Bayaxp in the meantime endeavoring to allay the excitement. At half-past twelve the PrmsrpEwr decided that the mo. tion to lay the balance of Mr. Bigler's on the table was inorder. If itis laid on the table, the three platforms, without instructions as to matter or time, will go to the committee, with Mr. Bigler’s propositions. ‘When Georgia was called, the mimority of the delega- tion protested against the vote of the Btate being given as a unit, on the ground that they were requested, not in- structed, to vote as a unit. A debate on this point ensued, which checked the pro- grees of tho vote, and at half past one o’clock the Presi- dent decided that the request was equivalent te an in- struction, and that Georgia must vete as a unit, being a Joes of two Douglas votes. ‘The vote was then announced.as follows—ayes 242, nays 47. Sethe platforms are all referred back to the committee, without instractions. A motion next came up to instruct the commiltee to re- port at four o’clock this afternoon. ‘Mr. Pumurs, of Pennsylvania, moved to adjourn to four @’cleck. AGeorgia delegate moved teadjourn to ten o’clock Monday morning. : Tho motions were, however, withdrawn, and the ques- tion recurred oxi the motion to instruct the committee to re- port at four o’clock, which was adopted, and ata quarter ‘of two the Convention adjourned to four o’clock. AFTERNOON SESSION. ‘The Convention reassembled at four P. M. ‘The Committee on Platform said they would not be ready to report until half-past five. Mr. Avury, of North Carolina, submitted the following report from the majority of the committee:— Resolyed, That the platform adopted by the democratic party at Cincinnati be affrmed, with the following expla- natory resolutions:— Furut—That the government of a Territory organized by an act of Congress is provisional and temporary, and during its existence all citizens of the United States havo ‘an equal right to pie writ, thelr property in the Terri- tory, without their rights, either of person or property, being destroyed or injured’ by Congressional or Territorial legisvation. Second—That it is the duty of ths federal government, in all Its departments, to protect the rights of persons and property in ihe Territories, and wherever else its constl- tations! auibority extends Grard—That when the settlers in a Territory, having an adequate population, form @ State constitution, the right of reignty commences, and being consummated by acmissién into tbe Union, they stand on an equal. ty with the people of other Statee, and a State thus or- ganized ougat be adunitted into the federal Un‘on, whether its consiitution prohibits or recognizes the institution of wlavery. Resolved, Thet the democratic party are in favor of the acquivition of the Island of Cuba, on such terms as shall be honorable to ourselves and just to Spain, at the practicaple morpent. Resolved, That the enactments of Stato jislatares to defeat the faithful exdcation of the Fugitive Slave jaw are hostile jn character, subversive of the constitution, and re- volutionary iu their effect. Resclyed, That the democracy of the United States re- ognize it a the imperative duty of this ent to protect the naturalized citizen inall his rights, whether at home or in foreign lands, to the same extent as its pativo born citizens. Wherens, ono of the greatest necessities of the age, in a political, commercial, postal and military point of view, is a epeedy communication between the Pacific and Atlantic cosste; therefore, be it Resolved, Thst the national democratic party do here- by pledge themselves to use every mmesns in their power to secure the passage of some bili, to the extent of their constitutional anthority by Congress, for the construction ofa Pacific Railroad from the Missiesippi river to the Pa- cific Ocean, at the earliest practicable moment. Mr. Avery urged upon the delogates of the Northern Slates to recollect that the slaves who now grow cotton in Alabama, Miseiaeippi and Georgia are the children of slaves who were formerly slaves in their own States. The majority report is a combination of those of Messrs. Bayard, of Delaware, Cochrane, of New York, and Bigler, of Pennsylvania. Mr. Samvzrs, of Iowa, presented the following minority Teport:=- " ‘Resolved, That we, the democracy of the Union, in Gon- vention assembled, hereby declare our affirmation of the rerolvtions unan! adi and declared asa plat- form of principles by the democratic convention at Oin- cinatti in the year 1256, believing that democratic princi. ples arc unchangeable in their nature when applied to the geome subject matter, and we recommend as our only fur- thor reeolutions the following :— ‘That insemuch a8 differences of opinion exist in the democratic party as to the nature and extent of the powers of a Territorial Legislature, and as to the powers and duties of Congress, under the constitution of the United States, over the institution of slavery within the ‘Territories, Resolved, That the democratic party will abide by the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States over the'institution of slavery within the Territories.

Reeolved, That the enactments of State to defeat the faitbful execution of the Fugitive law are hostile in character, sul y Tevolutionary in their effect. Mr. Samuels proceeded at some length to address Southern members, appealing to them not to persist in demanding an sbetraction that will drive one-half of the semecracy of the North into the arms of the black re- publicans. His epoech was a poworful, earnest and effec- tive appeal, free from all bitterness, and was listened to with the most marked imterest and attention by tho Sovthern members, . | When Mr. Samuels had coneinded, Me, Burize, of Mat- ascbuactia, prerented another minority report, signed by Tiinoiw, Minnesota, Maseachasetis and Indians, consisting of the Gacianat platform, pure and simple, which be fered ap a cudstitate for beth the majerity and minerity reports, Mr. Sraruxns, of Oregon, then obtained the floor, amid a stroggle ef a bundred contestants, and proceeded » give bis reseons for sustaining the report of the majority. Rouzxp J. Brent, of Maryland, took tie greund that although he was oppesed to ‘squatter sovereignty,” he must still, as matter of policy, sustain the position o non intervention. Four years age the South demandes this principle 0’ nom-intervention, and why do they mow come here aud demand this surrender of principle. He captioned them upom the result of their extreme views. They could lead to nothing but the election of a black re publican President and Congress. Mr. Buanows, of arkansas, follewed in a speech on the Southern side ef the question, commencing at twenty wiantes te eight o'clock. He dared the Northern men to reject the majority resetutions. He said the South would ‘consider #8 s breach of the constitutional compact, if reso- Intions adopted by ® majority of a committee of one from each State, should be overridden by saperior num- ders of Northern men. Heretofore the platform of this Committees was deemed sacred, and adopted without de. bate. Now, for the first time, a diferent course was pur- sued, The arrangement was like that by which cach State had an equal representation in the Senate, ana by which tm the House of Representatives, each State bad only one ‘vote in te choice of a President when the election de- volved upon that body. He maimtained that the South bad upheld the democratic party from the beginning of the government tu the present day; that the South had Deen foremost im fighting the battles of the country, and that, in fact, the democratic party owes everything to the: South. The South has extended the boundaries of country and bas furnished the means at all times of pay: ing the-lebts of the country. His remarks were @f most violent and mfammatory character, and amid the impatience to come to a vote, tie noise, confusion, clapping and stamping wal 80 grent that he could scarcely be heard beyond the ros- trom. He continued, despite the noise, to speak at the height of his voice. He considered the Northera demo- crate as worse than the black republicans. He did not cere whether the black republicans whipped them or they whipped the black republicans. Of the two he con- sidered the black republicans as the most open and man. ly foe of the South. As to Douglas, he would not support” him, even if be was nominated. He considered him as great an enemy to the South as the traitor Seward was. Mr. CLauponng, of Arkansas, obtained the floor, and eaid that he thad intended to address the Convention to. night, but he had now come to the conclusion that this debate was causing a wider breach instead of producing barmony. If continved it will inevitably result in the die- ruption of the Convention. He therefore called the pre- vious qnestion. Mr. Jacuson, of Georgia, moved an adjournment. Ohio demanded ibat the vote on adjournment be taken by States, which resulted as follows:—Ayes, 97; nays, 206. ‘The Douglas men voted against the adjournmeat, and the eppenents of Douglas in faver of it. Mr. Jackson, of Georgia, asked a suspension of the rule® to epable bim to offer a reselution. ‘Tho proposition was received With shouts of approba- on, indicating @ bitterness ef feeling unprecedented. ‘Tho previous question was then ordered by acclama- tion, ‘ “Another motion was made to adjourn and a vote by ‘Stetes demanded. . ‘Motion lost—ayes 139, nays 169. ‘Mr. Lawzxnce, of Louisiana, inquired whether a motion €@ adjourn sine die would be in order? The Presmpanr decided the motion not im order at that time. Mr. Sxwaxp, of Georgia, moved a reconsideration of the vote ordering the previous question. Mr. Cocuans, of New York, contended that the motion ‘was out of order and contrary to parliamentary law. ‘The PresipEnt decided the motion out of order. Mr. Jacksow, of Georgia, moved to lay all the resola- ‘tions and platforms on the table. aad transpired since the previous motion to adjoura, @—d Mr. Jackson ronewed his motion to lay the whole @ab- (ect on the table, A vote was takenon the motion, and it was lost,by ayes 2034, nays 28234, ‘The ayes consisted of Georgia, 8; Florida, 3; Massachu- sootts 434. ‘Mr. Grenxos, of Maryland, moved an adjournment amid noise and confusion that-woula havo drewned the ‘vole of a twenty-feur pounder. A vote by States was ordered upon the motion, kad it vas loat by ayes 126, nays 176.) Mr. Grrmmos then moved a recess for one hour. Mr. Jackson moved to recommit all the reports again. Both motions were pronounced out of order. Mr. Lawrence, of Louisiana, moved a call of the roll. ‘The Present decided a eal of the house out of ordor efter the previous question had been ordered. Mr. Lawrxxcz appealed from the decision of the Chair, ‘bet finally withdrew his appeal. 4 scene of disorder here ensued that was almoct deafening. Mr. Burime, of Massachusettc, said his side was willing to adjourn 98 2con as the main-question was adopted. Mr. Bicier endeavored to make @ proposition but was called down. ‘Tho Presipxnt’said that if thio-contest and uproar con. tinued, he would feel bound, in duty to himself and the Convention, to leave the. cbair,as tt was physically impos- sible tor him to take part in such a stroggle and clamor Mr. Horrer, of Louisiana, hoped his friends would sub- mit{toordering the main question.

Ue would ne: consent to taking advantage of the mino- rity, as that would be cheating, gentlemen.’if youtplease. Bere another scene of, the greatest excitement ensued. A bundred voles were addressing the Chair at one and the same time, ail shouting at the tep of their voices. Mr. Srvanr, of Michigan, said the majority would con- sent to adjourn if he_was allowed to mako a motion to re- consider and Isy he motion to adjourn on the table. . ‘The motion was put and carried, and at ten P. M. the Convention adjourned until ten 4. M. om Monday. CLOSING SCENES OF SATURDAY. Before the adjournment it was agreed that a vote would be taken on the majority platform on Monday, at ten o’clock. It ts almost certain to be rejected, and it is equally cer- tain that @ secession of from five to nine Southera delega- tions will then take place. ‘There is evidently a desire along the Northern line to dodge the slavery iesue with the republicans. Cobb and Iverson have telegraphed from Washington to the Georgia delegation to secede unless the majority resolutions are carried. ‘The Kentucky delegation will, it is sald, also secede. Every hour the secession movement is gaining In the committee there was s row, and Mr. Baker, Col- lector of Philadelphia, struck Mr. Wright, of Pennsyl- vania, chairman of the committee. The most bitter feel- ing and the most intense excitement prevails. ‘The balloting will commence on Monday. Fernando Wood’s delegation and himself are still here, waiting for the action of the Convention. THE VERY LATEST. Arrangements for the Struggle To-day, &e., &e., OUR SPECIAL CHARLESTON DESPATCH. Cuariasroy, April 30—1 A. M. ‘This day, though Sunday, is the most important since the Convention began; for it being an idle day there is time for caveusses, and all the plans and combination are ‘being formed for to-morrow. When matters aro in such atrain that a vote must be taken on tho platform, and as the majority platform which the South demands will no dowbt be rejected, i} will then be seen whether the &Cc. Southern “clegstions, which ‘threatened to secede tn ‘thas event, will do what they say, or whether they are ‘08 mere politicians pianning a part. A great effort bas been made to day by the opponents fo Doug'as in the North to indnoe them to remain in the Convention, notwithstanding the loss of their plaform, with a view to dofeat Douglas and got some Southern man tm whom they have confidence. In that event, it 19 urgod open them that the platform would not be of so much oon- sequence. The platform for this programme is tat of the Gmeimnati Convention; the second minority report, by Butler, of Masenchusette, which, with ® Southern inter- prefation, many Southern men would prefer to their own platform with a doudiful man upon it. ‘The Douglas platform is the minority report presented by Samuels. Jn the programme of the Cincinnati platform are, Breckinridge at the head, Guthrie, Joo Lane, Dickinson ‘and Boratio Seymour. As matters stand there is a great difficulty in nomi- nating either Northern or Southerm men. ‘What ought to be dame is to adopt a soundand con- form.

The chairmen of all the Southern delegations held a Kentucky delegation, in the Mills House, to deliberate on their courge of action to-morrow in the event of the ma- jority platform being rejected. They were divided, tho majority being in favor of remaining fora time in the Convention under protest; but the representations of tho other were n favor of immediate seceesion.

[Froym be London Times, April 18 } THE FIGHT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP Time was when the championship of Eogiand was an office which conferred honor on the higbest, when “‘Mar- mion, Lord of Scrivethaye, of Tamworth tower and town,” held a grant of the lands of the Abbcy of Polesworth on condition of doing battle in single combat against all knightly enemies of his King. The fashion of thia office, however, has pasted away with the days of chivalry,and lance and battle-axe have been laid aside to become mere things of show, and no more used by men. Tho Dymocks are still extant, but the modern champions of Eogland know them not, and the pageant warrior who threw down the gauntlet to some hundred ladies and gentlemen in Court dreas at @ coronation bas been succeeded by a raca of brawny and muscular fellows, men who “mean fight- {og end nothing but it,’ avd who vie with the athietw of old in their rigidity of tratning aad immente powers of endurance, At first there was no lack of Roral patro- page for thy rew race of champions.
