Tho Charleston Convention, after adopting t'te minority report of tho Oominittce on the platform, adjourned to meet in lialtimon? on tlio l.Stli of .June next. The Convention was in session nine days. Many balloting wore had for President, without a nomination being made. The last ballot stood t Dout>f..\s?, 1>1; Outurib, ; f?"i; and the balance scattering. A resolution ! was passed calling on the States, whose dele- j gates had seeciled, to till up their ranks and bo represented fully at Hiltimore. We should ' think the response would be faint, indeed.

The following platform w?? adopted : JtMoh'fd, That the platform adopted by the Democratic party at Cincinnati be attiriucd, with tho following explanatory resolutions: First. Tilnt tlio government of a Territory organized by an act of Congress, is provisional and temporary ; and during its existaneo, all citizens of tlio United States have an equal right to sottlo with thoir property in the Tcr- ! yitory, without their rights cither of pornon or property being destroyed or impaired by Congressional or Territorial legislation. li:cawl. That i- is the. duty of the Federal uv>uiiiiiiu;ii, in sm na ueparimcnts, to pro- ! loot when necessary the rights of persons and V property in the territories, and whorover else 1 its constitutional authority extends. T.iird. That when the settlors in a territory, having an adequate population* form n | Stitfc ^Constitution iu pursuance of law, the viglit of sovereignty oomnieneos, and being e. msumniatad by admission into the Union, they stand on an equal footing with the people ol other States; and the State thus organized ought to be admitted into the Federal Union, whether iU constitution prohibits or recognizes the institution of slavery. Fourth. That the Democratic party are in favor of tlic acquisition of the I sland of Cuba, on such terms its shall bo honorable to onrnelves and .just to Spain, at the earliest practicable moment. Fifth. That the enactments of State Legislature# to defen* the faithful execution of tho Fugitive Slave I. i\v, arc hostile in character,Mibvcrsivc of tho Constitution and revolutionary in thoir elfoct. ftijclh.

(111) | " Bachelor's Retreat Academy," and oilier young ! friends residing near, assembled at a beautiful j pond on Ohocstoc qrcik, not far distant from our liitletown, on the first day of May?tlie moV lovely ! of all the year?whou every mountain, hill and [ dale, is green '.villi Summer's grassy oar pot?for I the purpose either of fishing from (ho crystal j .Mream, or seeking for pleasure from somo other ; source. The company was composed of about lift can or twenty fair young ladies?among whom, wo tiitlik, were tiic prettiest the country could | all'ord; and about the same number of young genI (leinen. All were full of life, nud high exnoeta IIOUHOI I lie gl'UAlCMt enjoyment. | Syome tried to fish from the deep, running but the gentle breeze gr?w quite too strong for sport like thnt; so we tuvapd our attention to the j various other sources IVoui whieh enjoyment migld ' be obtained. .Some engaged in socittl conversation. I sat; while others, taciturn by nature stood, with j wondering gn*e, upon the passing scene. The l young wore not alone in tlie enjoyments of the day, for some of the sedftto and worthy matrons of our town were there, and fathers too, who held us?littlo?in restraint. They too, we think, enjoyed the aportlngs of the youthful band, ami al uorst wisnoa mat tlU?y wore young ngain. ' The morning pu.tscd quite rapidly off, nhd (he .hour for dining arrived, when we nil repaired (o j I lie cooling shade of the stately oaks. vrhere we found a table noatly spread with substantial for our health, and many dainties for the palate's sake. We must not fail to mention two gruvu Divines, who stood on either side, "and looked with a sober buf xrqmcHuoiYt eye, on all arbnnd, and mado us not forge! the great th-catnr's presence, too. When all hail finished their repast, the pavty wandered Off again (o Meek another mode to spend the passing day, and found an old baiteau, which had, we think, qui Iff served its time, still floating 1 on the calm, do.ei> won 1. Aftcv '?>? >- ' bor, ll was made lit for nso?when two young la- j dies nt a lime would viilc, while two young jronllcinen would row tlio boat, ..and-oh one of the party said, ' crack a joke;" anu maybts laud upon some d'lHt.tnf hank to bail (lie wafer out, (for clierc was hi ill sonic little chink through which (ho water stole,) and (hen they would return to letsome others ride, till all had made one pleasant trip, and | some, perchance, juade (wo. i At length the hour for lis to leave, arrived,,1X11(1 off \re fioL with joyful hearts, to walk the distance ! hack, and speak of what hnd pniM. We spent J the clay t>luaHantly, and Wo tnnt beneficially to those who hud duties in the ftcliool which hind every moment down, to what they may think a monotonous routine. And may they return to their studies greatly refreshed both in .dud and body, too. And lot that day bo one long to be remembered by lift all on account of tho pleasant associations which may attend its memory; and many be the pleasant days they all iiliall spend while young, strong, sanguine and free. Then when tho spring-time, the May month of youth has withered and gone, may they never then weep for the days that have flown. W. D. Tivkj.yb Mil.*, S. C., May 3, 1800.

Mr. (Jaillard, of South Carolina, proposed to amend, by inserting <l Territorial .Sovereignty " in the place of " Squatter S'ovrroienty." A Delegate said that the masses knew what " Sijuatter Sovereignty." meant but they would not know what u Territorial Sovereignty " meant. After the various suggestions, Mr. Jackson finally modified his proposition so that it would read : " /iVso.'m/, That the Petnborntic party of the 1"iiito.fi States, who are in favor of the platform' of principles recommended hy the majority of States in tha (Charleston Convention be invited to send delegates to n Convention to be held in Richmond on the second Monday in June next, and that the basis of representation be the same j^s that upon which the States have bean represented in the Charleston Convention."'
