The discussion was opened by Mr. Yancey, (if Ala, who was the champion of the South, in i a powerful speech.

I After which the'' report of tlie minority was ! adopted. At th'Kstnge of the proceedings, Ala- j buma, Florida, Texas, Mississippi and Arkansas refused to vote. The party will undoubtedly split, without making a homination. The perils of the moment aro great, and the end is not yet. Xext week something more definite can be given. _ ^ ^ Da Railroads Pay ?

' Wore I still an aspirant for political honors, my personal and pecuniary interests would forbid my yielding at tills time, to the .solicitationsof my frictuls. The profession of which I am an humble member, is a jealous mistress; she heaps but scanty honors upon the young devotee, who does not bo-low upon her his undivided cttontiyn. To mc her smiles are more valuable and hor rewards more enduring than arc the plaudits of the changing multitude.

Going oil" half Cocked. The Kccmmj Xl*m in its anxiety nnd has c to tind fault of the Columbia Convention and its proceedings, says tho Darlington /Vc;/, has tu use n sportmau's phrase, "goiiQoff half cocked." Tho telegram*, upon which its fierce a?s:\ult upon Mr. Our and the Cop ontion, so prematurely made, were based, were certainly mingled up with a great deal of err' r. Maj. 15. F.

Tho Xews say ft that "making Mr. Our President of tho Convention, tho character of his speech, appointing Major 15. F.

None of them comported with the opinions, wishes or tone of the people of Si'titUCarolina." We have seen in firmer days, that the opinions and assertions ?.f editors in regard to the opinions of the people of South Carolina, were not infallible. We hs.ve learned a great deal about " irresponsible conventions " having no right to represent the political opinions o' the people, and wo op:ne that nowspaper editors have still less right to usurp that prerogative. The Xt ir.f charges the Convention with an "effort to commit and sell the State to Durulas." It is incumbent on him who makes this charge to produce the evidence. Wo protest against this .-.weeping system of making charges which neither the evidence nor tho record justify. It would have been in belter taste, for the Acwn to have waited until the Convention had taken final action upon these resolutions offered, or until its platform had been adopted. In reply to tht insinuations ngaint the soundness of the Democracy of the Columbia Oonvontion on the question of squatter sovereignty, we simply point to the platform adopted, which nniy be found elsewhere in our columns Mr. (hut's shoulders are quite broad enough to bear up under the onslaught made upon him.

The Ucj.uhlieuns aro in ccsta- i eies, and anticipate an easy victory.

The general | li impression is that there is nothing practical, 1 i because there is no Territory open, adapted to n davo labor.

Some of Douglas* j t Viends say the best thing that can happen lor ; L lint, is that his nomination should bo met by a ho nomination of a Soutnorsi ticket. That Douglas willthen be held up North and South is f.be only Union candidate, and tho Black c llcpublienn and Southern ticket as tho di.su- " ?ion ticket. Then this position will compel 1 lie conservative men South and North to rul- 1 y to the support of Douglas, and thus secure ' lis election. That is, I think, taking a more, lattcring view of things than the future will ustify. The House is acting in the capacity of a icoming society, ami accordingly tiio atten- j 1 hinoo is very thin.
