The Charleston Convention.
Since our last issue there have been
very exciting times at Charleston. The
work of the body has been the manufac
ture of a platform, which job was com
pleted on Monday last. The Convention;
adopted the minority report of Mr. -Sam
uels, of lowa, re-affirming the Cincinnati
Platform and theTfred ScotfcDecUion,~and
endorsing several additional features Of
importance. The report was not adopted
without a considerable display of angry
discussion ; but was finally carried almost
unanimously. The platform as adopted
is as follows:
First—Resolved, That we, tba Democracy of the Union,;
in Convention assembled, hereby declare onr affirmation of
the resolutions unanimously adopted and declared as£plat
form of principles by the Democratic Convention' in' Cin
cinnati, In the year iB6O, believing that Democratic princi
ples ore unchangeable in their nature when applied to the
eamesnhJectmatters, and we recommend,.as the
ther resolutions, the following: V
Second—lnasmuch aidilforenceg of opinipnsaxUtin the
Democratic .perty, aa to the nature and extent oftbe powers
of a Territorial Legislature, andoa.to the powers Mid du
ties of Congreea under the Constitution of the United
Status over the institution of slavoiy.with the-Territories,
therefore, ,
Rzholtxd, That the Democratic party will abide by the
decision of the Supreme Court of the United States over
the Institution of slavery withlu the Territories.
Third—Rasoivii). That it is ,the duty of the United'
States to afford ample and complete protection to all its
citizens whether 1 at home or abroad, and whether native or
foreign born. i •

Filth4-Ucs6ivzD, That the Democratic party Is infevor
of the acquisition of the island of Cuba on such terms as
shall be favorable to ourselves andjltet to Spain.
Sixth—Resoltsd, That the enactments ofthe State Leg
islatures to defeat the faithful execution of the fugitive,
slave law are hostile in their character, subversive of the
Constitution and revolutionary iu.their effect.
The Convention having refused to
recognize, to the extent desired, the pow
er of Congress over slave property in the
Territories, some of -the Southern States
seceded from the Contention—first refu
sing to vote on the minority report adop
ted. These States are Mississippi, Lou
isiana, Texas, Florida, Alabama, and a
portion of South Carolina. It is the in
tention of the Bolters to meet in Conven
tion, adopt a platform to suit themselves
and nominate suitable candidates. tVe
also learn that Virginia, Georgia and
Kentucky are discussing the question of
withdrawal. 1
Since the withdrawal of a portion of the
Southern delegates, a resolution .has, been
adopted requiring 202 votes necessary to
a choice. Twelve ballots were had—
Douglas receiving 145 votes on the first
ballot, and 150 on the last. .
A Model Congressman. —An Arkan
sas candidate for Congress set forth his
qualifications for office in the following
manner: “ Gentlemen, if lam elected to
this office I will represent my constituents
as the sea represents the earth, or as the
night contracts with'the day. I will un
rivet human society, clean aQ the parts
and screw it together again. I will cor
rect all abase, purge oat all corruption,
and go .through the enemies of our party
like a rat through a now cheese/' He
was elected.

The Great Fight.
The prize fight between John C. Hee
nan and Tom Sayers, took place on the
17th ult.j in a meadow near Farnhorongh,
in Hampshire, England. TJre fight lasted
two hours and 6 minutes, during which
forty-two rounds were fought, when there;
was such ah intense pressure; upon the i
combatants by the crowd that it was deein
ed necessary by the referee to stop the fight.
Sayers right arm was disabled soon after
the fight commenced, and Heenan was
knodhed neariy blind. The accounts are
conflicting as to who would have come off
conqueror, though it is strongly contendr
e'd that Heenan was much the better man,
and would have had an easy victory had
not the crowd out the ropes and roshed
in upon 'the men. The decision of the
referee makes the affiur a drawn -battle,
with no'day fixed for its resumption.—
“ Censor,” a correspondent of Wilkes 1
Spirit, himself an English, and one of
the editors of the Field, in an article on
the fight, says : •
“We are constrained to gay, that the miser
able interruption, which we ore compelled to
announce, runs not in accordance withthe vaun
ted manliness attributed to prize-fitting and
prize-fighters in general. The heroism
ed by the Benicia. Boy, and his courageous'
bearing was frequently applauded during the,
fight. Little, therefore, did the small hands of
Americans seated around that ring ezpeoito
See it broken ,up. That it was so will be found
too true, and ite motives plainly seen, whenouj
narrative of the Contest is perused. We have
no hesitation in pronouncing JohnC. Heenan
fairly entitled to the Champion’s Beit. He
knocked down his adversary thirteen times, and
on.one ooeasionvthrew him like-a frog. At last,
after a tglly and a close, in which the combat
.tontshugged each other’ on the ropes, and the
odds were ten to one on Heenan, the crowd
-broke into the ring in a most ruffianly manner,
under a false protqnse that the constables were
interfering. J These very constables had been oh
the ground daring half the battle, and were
averse to making any. attempt at getting in.—
But the ruffians, seeing that their man would
be beaten and their money lost, made the pre
sence of the police an excuse, and thus stopped
all further proceedings At this juncture the
referee quitted hia place, most unfortunately
leaving all question of foul or fair without a
deciding voice. Three rounds Were fought af
ter bis departure, and at the end of the .third
the uproar was tremendous, the ringkeepers
were unable to keep the mob back, and the
victory, which . would in a few minutes .have
been awarded to John C. .-Heenan, could not he
obtained. The cowardly mob saw the laurels
within bis grasp, and tore them away from his
reaoh. That he won the battle no unbiased
person will doubt; that he deserves ‘ The Belt’
we are positively s oertain.”
SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST MORRISSEY.
Morrissey, who has acted in the most repre
hensible manner since his arrival' inJShgland,
figured conspicuously at the fight as one of
Sayers’ most busy friends. It is now charged
that he was the first man to break into the ring
and cut the ropes—an account which, if "the re
port be true, he will yet have to settle for.—
The.2W6ime of Saturday thus, alludes to the
matter: “ A gentleman now at the St Nicho
las, and who witnessed the fight, says that
jrhen Heenan had got Sayers \ into such a posi
tion that be must eventually have won the bat
tle, John Morrissey cut die ropes aud let Hee
nan fall to the ground.” Other papers also
allude to the rumor, and state that he did it to
save his bets, of which he bad a large number,
staked on the English Champion,
HEENAN CHALLENGES MORRISSEY
The Clipper, received to-day, states that after
the fight was over Mr. McCabe went to John
Morrissey and offered to match Heeoan against
him, to fight in three or four months, for $5,-
000 or $lO,OOO a side, bat the latter took no
notice of it Another American, at the mil way
station, offered to double the stakes, should
Beenati and Sayers fight again, or Would match
him against any man in the world for, $lO,OOO,
but no nne answered to it.
Effect of the Census of 1860.

Other reports confirm this statement. —

A in Fashion.— -Among the
novelties ’recently introduced in ladies* ap
parel is a new article of suspenders. They
bear resemblance to those worn by gentle
men, except that they are made of deli
cate, white, elastic fabric, with frilled, edge
about ;one inch wide, and are attached to
the skirt hy buttons in like manner. We
doubt;not this invention will he generally
adopted, with: a view to relieve the waist
of the unlimited burden which such habil
iments necessarily produce. v Reason and
experience teach us.that the old and ab
surd method, while followed, impairs the
health and] impedes locomotion.

from the Huntingdon Union of lost week:—
“ Dr. Cox, of Cincinnati, delivered a lecture
in the Court House, on Wednesday evening, on
the adulteration of liquors. He had on the ta
ble before him whiskey, brandy, &0., furnished
by the citizens of the town, and he analyzed a
quantity of each. The whiskey brought by Col.
Miller, of the Jackson Hotel, was pronounced
pure, hiit the brandy which the Dr. had, turned
v black as ink. It was drugged with several of
the most virulent poisons. - Some of the lager
beer kept in our saloons, made at other places,
was analyzed, and found to contain muriatic
acid, henbane, and several other desirable ingre
dients. Many of the facts stated by Dr. Cox,
were startling, and if we mistake not, he did
material damage to the sale of *• tangle-foot” in

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Wonderful, but True.
A few days since, Mr. Jas. H. Beadle, of Huntsville, Ala
bama, culled on us and gave us permission to publish for
the benefit of suffering humanity, the astonishing cure
which hail been effected la .the case of his wife by the'use
of Dr. Bunco's Vegetable Epileptic Pills. He informed us,
that at the time bis wife commenced using the medicine,
her system was so entirely prostrated, by the number of
spasms she had undergone, as toreduce her weight to 100
lbs. Since she has been taking the pills, she has entirely
got over the spasms and has gained in weight and bodily
health. She now weighs at least 200 Ibs., and declares she
lain better enjoyment of health than ever before in her
life. Mr Beadle also related the case of Mr. Harrison
Lightfojt of the salhe town, who has been entirely cured
of the worst form of. Epilepsy by these same pills. Mr.
Lightfoot’s case was so bad. that be never passed a week
without having an attack, often falling down in tho street.
He has not had an attack for more than a year. Mr,
Beadle thinks that if the pills ever tail in curing a case, it
is for the waut of a proper perseverance on the part of tho
person in taking them, as he feels assured from observation
in the case of his wife, that if they are taken for a suffi
cient length of time, they will cure any case. Sent to any
