OUR SPECIAL CHARLESTON DESPATCH.V Ciukuoton, April 23, 1800.

M Is reporu-d that there ia a letter here from Donglne,ntatirg fee will accept asp platform adopted by Uw OonTbe

ttckete hare been Bnally refoeed to the Wood deleAcre

la great excitement.She Convention was called to order hp J udge SraaSySVnnola B. Flonmoy, of Arkanms, a strong Douglas

sum, wee chosen temporary Chaij^n without opposition.A protest en the part of the Wood delegates,signed hp

' Fernando Wood, was p relented to the Convention.Mr. flaber, of the Virginia delegation, moved the following

resolution.

Whereas, it appears from the protest signed bp F., Weed and othert that two Beta of delegates claim Beats

Iran the State of New York; be It, therefore,Resolved, That neither of the two sets shall be allowed

bo vote in the organization of this body, or participate inWa proceedings, until the conteet for Beats by the two saiddelegations shall be determined by this Convention.

Mr. Winston, of Alebama, objected.Mr. John Cochrane, of New York, called for the reading

of the resolution.« A meet terrible scene of excitement and uproar fallowed.|

The Southern delegations are standing togelacr lor theWood delegation.Mr. Flournoy is ruling everything out of order advancedin favor of the WodJ delegation. VThe resolutions adopted to day, In reference to tbe

Mew York delegation; virtually recognise the Dean Richbond delegation, as they are allowed to vote on all questions,and their member of the Committee on Credentialscan vote on all oases but their own. This looks ominousor the Wood delegation, though it is not conclusive of

H the final action of the Convention. The Douglas men are

)u high glee at what has been done, but they bsve gainednothing.

Caleb Cushing, who ie strong anti Douglas, toss been

ctase (elected as permanent chairman by the Committe ;

Organization.The actkn of tbe Convention touching New York was

brought about by some of the Richmond delegation promlsttgtheir votes to Douglas and some to other candidates.wbiie the Wood delegates will not give ohy pledge.

This action of the Convention will have important effects.

Virginia did not vote for the Richmond delegation, andtherefore Mr. Hunter will not get even its complimentaryvote. Wise has his revenge.Kentucky did vote for it, and therefore Guthrie stands

a gsod chance of at least tome of its votes.H is not certain that New York will rote a unit. John

Cochrane wul split tbe delegation rather than let t gofor Dcnglas. ^The great fight will he about the platform. Tbe

Dctiglap men want tbe Cincinnati platform, pare and simple,with the Dred Scott decision actordfcg to his inter- I

pretation. Others from the North will insist upon an

additional resolution against squatter sovereignty and thelived Scott decision, with their interpretation, while the

. Southern men will demand Congressional and federal

protection or slavery in the Territories and Southern

del»gatiocs which stood by tbe Wood delegation to dayWill either have this or retire in a body from tbe Convention,

and thus split up the democratic party.They are greatly excited about tbe action of 'the Qon

veotlon in regard to Wood. They have not beea able

to get the other Stales to join them in the preliminarydemand mentioned in my despatch yesterday, but theywill probably in the matter of the platform. There

j-will be an effort made to nominate a candidate before tbe

platform is constructed, but the South will not stand it.

John Cochrane is greatly alarmed at this Southern movei

went, which forebodes secession, and the others in tb#

j lew York delegation are ready to break lAme from the

jt etmond aod Cogger Regency and join KerMi

tdo Wood, feeling as they do, that theile power of tte State is usurped by tbe

Aibt ay Junta. He is for Guthrie or some other

hmd acceptable to the South. Dean Richmond and Westsrn

V. rw York are for Docglas. Other men are for BreokiBiicge1 and Dickinson. John Cochrane Is utterly disgustedwith Tammany Bail and Albany, and feels bs is

eomproL V-aed with the South, which expected htm and his

oUeasueB* to stand by it, though compelled to set

penly Wit b his delegation in regard to organization. Qsd.d what he*<x»kl privately to have half of the Wood

delegation at 'milled.

Douglas cat not get Penney Irania, New Jersey or Massacbusetts.Th;« last delegation, it is said, will cast its

vote for Jeffereoi .Deris.

Why, air, if Martin Van Buren wereneoessary to secure the Northern balance of power to the democratic oartv. the Southern Are eaters would find htm a

marvellous proper man. The spoils.one hanlred million^je year. What are all your slavery abstractions compared with this mass of solid matter f A handful of fustand feathers against a ton of gold. Of oouree Douglas wiltbe nominated, because be can be elected. And you can

find a regiment of Bre eders even la South Oarottna. anyone of whom would only be too glad to play second fiddleto Douglas, and with all the condescension snddevotiou otSancho Panza to tbe Illustrious Don Quixotic.Such are the Ideas of the thoroughly saturated devotees

of Douglas Still remaining In Washington. Theirfaith ia unbounded, and granting their bypotbeeia ofthe unconquerable popularity of Douglas, their reasonsare unanvwersble. But they have been aptly comparedwith the silly maid of the mtlktng pall, who calculatedthat for bcr pail of milk she could get so many eggs, andthat thare eggs hatched into chickens, would, in a tit )«while, bring money enough in the market to buy themerry damsel a new silk gown. And she would b.ir. it-* green one. the color beat rutted to her complexion. So,giving h« r glduy head a toes of triumph, down cam. thei ail of milk, and with It all her foolish calculations. Justto >s Mr. Douglas paraded before the Charleston Coi.<enit n.a pal! of milk with the cream oil, his stock intrade.The republicans pretend to be afraid of him: but

really they do net expect anything quite so good tor tueirpurposes as the nomination ot Mr. Douglas. Their tl'ftp.-»at object it to smash up the d«mor.ratic party ; hintDoogiss, who has smashed it up ia lbs North, is the «-ervman to smash It in the .South. The enterprising cu« v.xers of the Southern opposition party, in this view, hartbeen among the most active outside trumpeters of the m(imputable popularity of Iwuglas. Be la tba man for ns,tbey say. Let him be put up at Charleston, ant ouritatumcre National Convention of the lf>(h of May wtphave something to work snd to hope for.the re«urlectionof a powerful national opposition party inthe Southern States. Thus, upon a strong tudriiecdent opposition Southern ticket, on atrong 9>i>tWngroanc, we shall be able to throw the ITesidenbal elecilooInto Congress, Irom the loes to Donglsn «f Maryland,Virginia, (south Carolina. Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi,A'kanras, Florida and Texas. *In fact, the nomination of Douglas at Charleston would

be very much like the Bplicing of the blanket by tbeIrishman, who cu' off a piece- from the bo'torn to lengtb,nit out at the top And yet, there are not only *ouihercopposition men. but Northern republicans, who street tobehove in the inevitable nomination of Douglas.

I We sre assured, however, tbat it ia a great mis-ake tosuppose thu, If rejected at Charleston, Douglas can, inacy event, bo taken >ip by the third party at Baltimorethat bit iauilly relatione are toe intimate with the Cburcno; Home for any such violent party expedient; and that

Vb'.le bit squatter eoveretirnty notions wooid be Of nopractical value to old line whips and Americana, his freetrade procnvltlee are quite enough to render him out oftbe question tritb the old inde(«ndents of the protectivefell 00).Ruled out by tbe Charleston Convention, Mr. Diuglae

will submit and bide hi* time What elee can he do'The platform will come up 1iret In order. It will,doubtless, be one of the nana! revolving kind, and^marked by thoee dissolving views in wb'c.h anold cartle,' for instance, is so skilfully changedinto a builaio bunt or a canal boat, that we are«Hlng to accept and behove In theae transformationsover and over again, or anything which the showmanmay desire Thus the Charleston platform may poaaiblyfurnish a dissolving view of squatter sovereignty satisfactoryto Mr. Douglas.Assuming that he will get over tbe difficulty of tbe

platform in this way, he will push hard for tbe nomination.'

Should he fail, as be will fall to get It, he will nextbring bis forces to bearU) cut out General lane, and tosecure tbe nomination of a Southeastern man, sayHunter, of Virginia, so (hat the Northeastern field maybe Jell open in 1864.As for tbe present, all this outcry of the ooUapse of Mr.

Jefferson Darts, tbe letting down of Clay, of Alabama,tbe tubmissloo of Howell Cobb, tbe oo operation of Winslew,of North CrroHaa; Orr, of 8ooth Carolina; Jobaaon,of Tennessee; Johnson, of Arkansaa; Reagan, of Texas,and Benjamin, of Louisiana, to the contingency of thenomination of Doeglas, we shall see how much it Mworth before the end of the week. Every Individual intbe Drifted States, white, blaok or red, was taken abackwith tne retting aside of Van Burrn and the nominationof Poik !n 1844, bat, If we are not egregiously out at theelbows of our philosophy, s much greater surprise willfs'l upon the adherents of Douglas within the next tendays.
