PROBABLE OVERTHROW OF DOUGLAS. Speculations Respecting the No- minations, Reo, Bey Be OUR SPECIAL BALTIMORE DESPATCH. Bavemonk, Sune 18, 1960. Notwithstanding the notice pested up at Barnum’s Ho- Sel that tickets would be inseed only w delegates, the theatre is complot@ty packed in every part with out- swiders, neurly all'frreniily teDouglas. Fyen the seats and > desks belonging tothe press aro appropriated. The firs who.got one ofthese war «son of Bean Richmond, Ema- pod'B. Hart, Surveyor 4f the Pert of New York, and Mr. Craig, formerly ef the Collector's office, occupying ‘ewo such sents. Ihave seen some admitted at the door ‘without any tickets on saying they were friendly to Douglas, and others rejected who said they were not Douglas-men, but would support the nominee of the party. ‘The regular reporters of the chief papers of the country had'to:battlofur seets, and some of them to go without them, -while their places were occupied by men in no way eonnected with the press. All this was done without the ‘kuowledge or authority of Mr. Cusbing. ‘ ‘Mr. Stryker is the principal agent who has been figuring for Seymour, It is now conceded that ho @aanct be substituted for Douglas, His health, both ef ‘mind and body, his friends say, is not sufficient for the task. It is stated that his letter of resigna- tion was written by the advice of his physician; but hie name has been presented to the Southern delegates as @ bait todring them round. There are other men behiud ‘who-will do forthe New York delegation just as well. Bt ie now conceded that Douglas cannot got the regular ‘Pwo-thirds democratic nomjuation, aud thore is even sone @oubt of bis getting a majority; and his friends from New -Yorkare suggesting that by his recovery only at the North, and the candidate of the Richmond Conyea- Mon running only at the South, Lincoln may be Beaton anti <the -election thrown into the House. In that event -the Southern ticket will perhaps be Breck- feridge and Lane, or Lane aud Breckinridge. It is estimated that Bell aud Everett will bold the fourth and laft place, and consequently be exciuded from the coatest in the House. It is alxo calculated in that case, that the whole fifteen Southern States, with California and Oregon, will go for Breckinridge, California aud Oregon deing friendly to Laue. Tho South Americans, having no Candidate of Wheir own to choose from, would uudoubied- ly -go for Breckinridge in preference to Lin- eoln-or Douglas, aud if there should be uo election in the House, then either Lane or the candidate for Vice President on the ticket of Douglas would become Presi- @emt. The Senate can only take the two highest names, and one of these would probably be Hamlin, the republi- an. The other would probably be the candidate of the seceders, but might be the candidate on the Douglas ticket, who, it is now aid, will probably be Winslow. The izreprcssible conflict is begun. Mr. Howlett, of ‘Teancasee, led off by demanding adinission for ail the dele- gates sent originally to the Charleston Convention. Mr. Saulebury, of Delaware, moved to lay iton the table. Mr. Russell, of Virginia, supported the motion of ‘Mr. Howlett, ‘The debate continued. The Chair refusedto decide the question, but made @ most important decision of a different nature. He ssid there was now no platform at all, as the Couvention at Charles- ton adjourned before the resolutions were adopted a8 a whole, several amendments being pending. This opens the whole question of « platform agai, aud it is said the New Yorkers will now go with the South on that point. A Jatform has been drawn up in Washington by Pryor, of Virginia, and Herschel) Jobnston and stephens, of Georgia, end has been sent on here to the York delega tion, who have it vow under consi jon, Tt js expected Seewill satisfy the Southern deleg tions; but of this I can fem no opinion,as I have not yet seen it.

Pryor is expected here this af- ternoon to work for the new platform. ‘The tactics of the Douglas party begin to be developed. ‘They moved that the resolution of Howlett to admit all the delegates be amended by acdiug, provided they agree to sustain the nom: f the Convention.

Barrmork, June 18, 1860, ‘The Demccratic National Convention assembled at the Front street theatre; at tem o'clock this morring, in pur- | suance of the revolution at the adjournment at Charlestea. The stage was thrown back to the utmost extent, anda platform erected for the President and Vice Presidents, with alow platform in frout for the Secretaries and re- porters. The parquette was boarded over level with the stage. The lower boxes were reserved for ladies, and the ‘two upper tiers for the general public. Admiseion being only gained by tickets, the theatre was not entirely filled at the morning session, but presented a handsome appear- ance, The usual bareness of the sides and roof of the stage was concealed by a@ liberal drapery of flags. Tho tage and parquette in front of the platform are reserved for the delegates, aud are well filled; but some places are vacant. The PresiMENT, having decided not to pass upon the | right of the new delegates to take their seats, and not | having issued tickets for those States unrepresented at the adjournment of the Charleston Convention, at eleven o'clock called the Convention to order, ‘The procecdings were opened with prayer by the Rev. John A. McCron, an Episcopal minister of Baltimore. Ou calling the Convention to order, Mr. Cusine stated the hour for assembling had passed; but as he under- stood a misunderstanding bad occurred as to the hour of ; Meeting, some supposing the adjournment to have been till twelve o'clock, he would direct the roll of States to be ' called, in order to ascertain if all wero present. ‘The roll was then called, and all the delegates entitled to Reats were found present except a portion of the delega- tions from Connecticut and Delaware. Mr. Sacispcry, of Delaware, stated that some of the delegates from that State were present, bat had not tickets of admission delivered to them, and were waiting eutside for admission. The Cham stated that tickets had been delivered to the Sergeant-at-Arms to hand to the chairman of the delega- tions. He supposed that was done in every instance, since all the delegations were represented on the floor who had been represented at Charleston at the time of the ad- journment. Mr. Sacispvry moved that all the members of the Charleston Convention be admitted to the floor by the President. The Presmxxt—The Convention has not been regularly called to order, and no motion is yet in order. Mr. Reminorow, of Delaware, said the motion of his col- league was not properly understood, He desired only the acmicsion of those delegates who were present at tho ad journment of the Charleston Convention. Mr. McCoox, of Ohio, asked if the chairman of the delo- gation had arrived at the number of tickets to which he was entitled. Mr. SavisReRy said a majority of the Delaware deloga tion had remained in the Charlestton Convention, and in- tended to remain ax jong as honor and good faith control en the action of the Convention. (Applause.) He said he had no sympathy with the quarrels of his delegation, but he desired to know where his colleagues were to apply for admission. He had only arrived in town early this morning, and found difficulty in raising any information. ‘The Presipent said—the difficulty appeared to be simp- ly iu the fact that the delegation had not arrived until late to-day, and were ignorant of the fact that notice had been given yesterday where the Chairmen of the delegations were to receive tickets of admission. All entitled to scats would be supplied with tickets, ‘The Sergeant-at-Arms, Mr. Howarp, of Tennessee, de- sired to offer a resolution which would settle the question as to all the seats in the Convention. Mr. Leprow, of New York, raised the point of order, that the Convention had not yet been regularly con- vened. ‘The Presipent decided the point well taken. When it was ascertained what delegates were present the Con- vention would be formally convened, and the motion would then be sustained. ‘The roll call being completed and the absent delegates having appeared and taken their seats, the Convention ormally called to order and the opening prayer de- red.

Prior to the adjournment of the Convention, two principal subjects of action were before it: one, the adoption of the doctrinal resolutions constituting | the plattorm of the Convention; the other, voting upon Ube question of the nomination of a candidate (or the Presidency, In the course of the discussion, of the question of a platform the Convention adoptet a vote, the effect of which was to amend the report of the majority of the Committee on Platform by substituting the report of the minority of that commitice, aud afte: the adoption of that motion, and the substitution of the minority jor the majority report, a division was called for on the several resolutions constituting that platform being five in namber. ‘The tirst, third, fourth and fifth of se resolutions were ad by the Convention, and the soond was. rej Alter the vote on the adoption — of woud third, and & motion wa » vote, ahd to lay tha: the, table, But neith 1 or Ww lay ou the table motions having been pr of questions of pr ie such 2 w wit, report of the majority as amended by report of the imloority, and the witimnaie question lad not been ‘pa by the Convention, Sy that at the Line when the Cou tion adjourned there remained ponding before it those to wit; To reconsider, to adopt ther aud the ulterior quest 1 those on) aud tic . hin bot acted upon pr the adjournin sn disposition of the intervening question of priv) made by Mr. MeCowk, of Ohio, to g ceed to Vote for candidates for Prosident and View Vreside ve Upon that motion the Convention instructed the € hot, as has been erroncoualy supposed in the recess Convention, but the Convention instructing the Chai . make no declaration of @ nomination except upon equivalent to two thirds in the Electoral Cuilege of Chited States; and pou taat balloting ue such vote beiag given, that order was, upon motion of Mr. Russell, of Vir gimia, laid Upon Ube table for the purywee of ena to propore am .

If the committee was defunct, it could be revived by such @ motion a8 that now before the house, Mr. Russkin, of Virginia, begged the gentleman from New York to withdraw his resolution, or the latter por- tion of it, at all events, if he desired the harmony of the Convention. Mr. Montcomery, of Pennsy!vania, called Mr. Russell to order, the previous question being pending. Mr. Rrsski1—Then if Virginia is constrained to silence, that silence may be ominous. A long discussion ensued on various points of order, when Mr. Savisnvny, of Delaware, moved to adjoure ua- til four o'clock. ‘The motion to adjourn was lost—733g to 17844.

AFTERNOON SESSION. ‘The theatre was tolerably well filled wben the Conven- tion reassembled at five o'clock. ‘The question pending was the amendment of Mr. Gil- mor, of Pennsylvania, to the amendment offered by Mr. Church, of New York. The Presipent announced that credentials had been placed in his hands by delegates from Delaware, Georgia, Alabama, Fiorida, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and Ar- kaneas, togetaor with a letter from the Mississippi dele- gates, presented by Mr. Howard, of Tennessee, and a com- munieation from Mr. Chaffee, claiming @ seat, from the State of Massachusetts. He deemed it proper to inform the Convention of the reception of these documents. ‘The several propositions before the Convention were Squestion vous then read by E. C.

Mr. Samcnis, of Towa, objected to the reading of any new proposition, He did not wish to embarrass the question by multiplying the propositions out of order.
