SCA-IR-ST TIMES! Trlbane's Corresponrtenee. Charlkstos, Thursday evening. The Tennessee platform, which the inii.-ylvania ; delegates have recommended, is us follows : R'tnlvtil. That the Federal lioveriimDiit has no power to interfere with slavery in , the States, orexelude it iioiii the Territoi ics ; i and no duties to perform in relation thereto, ; but to protect the rights pi the owner (TOM wrong, and restore fugitive. from InborVthese duties it cannot withhold without a . violation of the Constitution. New-York is still uncommitted on a can- , did ate., though several leading men of loth ! 1 interests in the delegation are against Mr. Douglas. Chaklkston, April 20 l. u.- -The. follow- ' '. iug is 'in- platform just adopted. fitrolnnd, That the platform adopted at ; Cincinnati be affirmed with the followiiijf j additional resolutions: That the National Democracy of the C. j S. hold these cardinal principles on the subi ject of slavery in the Territories : First; That Congress has no Bower to ! ' afrolisli slavery in the Territories. Second, That the Territorial legislature has rw power to abolish slavery in the Ter- j ritories, nor prohibit the introduction ot slavery therein, nor any power to destroy it bv any legislation whatever. Uenoived, That it is the duty ot the tederal Government to protect when nrriMftarj the rights of persons or property on the high seas, in the territories, or wherever its constitutional jurisdiction extends. This platform combines the resolutions of Messrs. Bayard, of Delaware, aud Clark, of Missouri. It Was adopted by 18 to lo, but Mr. Crowcll changed bis vote from the afI tirmntive in the neirutivo. urn kinc the nc tu.il result 17 to lt.

The floor being crowded with ladies, at well as the Western galleries, there was a chatter of tongues, and pea! after peal of 'a-iguier goioj; on, wim.ii iuin !wnK' trnst with the suspended excnenicni 01 use Con ven lion. After the rec-ss, printed copies of the majority platform report were scattered over the Hall. The minority were signed by B. F. Butler on liehalfof the minority. It merely reaffirms the Cincinnati platform, and declares the Democratic principles it 11 - changed when appl.ed to the same subject matter, aud only recommends in addition to the Cincinnati platform, the protection of all citizens whether native or naturalized. The principal minority report, however, is signed by Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island Connecticut, New Jersey. Ohio, Indiana. Illinois, Wisconsin. Iowa, Minnesota. New York and Pennsylvania The points are as follows : 1st. Affirming the Cincinnati piatfoim. 2d. That all rights ot properly are judicial in character, and the Democracy pledge themselves to the decisions ot the Supreme j (feaart on the subject. 3d. Ample protection to the citizens, native or naturalized, at home or abroad. Hb. Pledges governmental aid to the Pacific Kailroad. rth. Favors the acquisition of Cuba on terms bouorable to ourselves and juat to Spain. 6lb. That all Sute resistance to the fugitive slave law is revolutionary, an 1 subversive ol the Constitution. The majority report is in substance as already telegraphed ai 11:38 last night. The Convention re-asse'ublcd. The majority report was read by Mr. Avery, who was instructed to say that entire unanimity did not prevail on a portion of the resolutions. The first and third resolutions, in re l.ilion to slavery in the Territories, and llie duty of the general government to protect the lights of persons, wusadoplcd by a Urgmajority of the BnaemitWe. The second resolution, in relation to the fugitive slave law, and the (lb, in relation to naturalized citizen-, were adopted aMtlmiously. The fifth, in .'favor of the uc-

quisition of Cum, was adopted without division. The two minority reports were presented by Mr. Butler of Mass. and by Mr. Paine of Ohio, the latter stating that his report, although a minority one, represented 172 electoral vob-s, whilst the majority represent 127 electoral votes. Mr. Johnson of Maryland inquired how many of the electoral votes represented by the minority reports could be depended upon for the Democratic nominee. (Laughter and applause.) Mr. Paine could not say nor could he speak for Maryland which goes with the majority. Mr. Paine offered his platform as a substitute for the whole, and the Massachusetts uelegit'on pro;osed another set. All the reports having been presented, Mr. Avery addressed the Convention, claiming that he represented 17 Democratic States of the Cnion. lie alluded to the fact that Mexico and lota inevitably, with Central America, would form a part of the Union, and with the popular sovereignty doctrine, as proclaimed in the minority report, r.o slaveholder would dare to enter these territories with his slaves. It was said that Northern men did not like to be thrown in association with slaveholders, and be ap

pealed to gentlemen lo correct that error, and to prove to the South that the Demo- : cratic party at the North entertained no j such sentiments. There is a distrust among the masses of the people of their Northern allies. We sympathize with you when you j nre (ailed doughfaces at the Nonh, and we j ask you to give us the evidence that our sympathy is well placed. Mr. Paineof Ohio addressed the Conven- i tion in behalf of the minority report. He did ! uot desire any personal victory, but tho3e I he represented believed that on the harmo- ! nious settlement of these difficulties depends j me existence 01 me uemocranc pnriy, ana the prosperity and the perpetuity of the Union. The Democracy of the North have stood by the South in good faith. There never had been but one construction put upon the slavery clauses of tho Cincinnati j plattorm, and he challenged any man to 1 show that il had ever been differently construed even on the floor of Congress. Mr. Paine rend to the Convention, the j opinion of Mr. Toucey and Vice President Breckinridge against auj- measure to legi3- j late slavery into the territories, nnd that the ' people of each territory shall seCle the I matter for themselves, and be admitted into i the Union wilh or without slavery, as they may determine, and said th:it he could show j that every disiiguished Southern statesman j since 18:"o had planted himself upon the I Squatter Sovereignty platform of non-intervention by Congress. If the majority veport is adopted, you cannot expect one Northern electoral vote or one sympathizing member of Congress from the Free Slutes. He quoted also from Messrs. Ranter, Toomlis, Mason aud oiher Democratic utatesinen. maintaining the same ground of non-intervention, and concluded by saying that we cannot recede from the doctrine without personal dishonor, ami, so help us tiod ! we never will abandon the principle. (Sensation.) Avery said that although fifteen Slave Slates nnd two representing Free States, he denied that any feeling of sectionalism i baa in tiwe need ban. Cn ARLkSTos, April '27th, v. it.

All but Kyuders, Fowler, Jewctt, nnd a few ofliceholders favored the minority report, for which John Cochrane voted.

BR-rtc preparing a substitute; The follow iLg report find resolutions of Mr. Cochrane of New York has just been circule.ted, which he projioses to offer as a substitute for all the otlier propositions in addition to the Cincinnati platform. lirnoli'fii. That the several States of the Union are un lcr trie Constitution, and that the people thereof are entitled lo the free possession aud enjoyment of their rights of person an property 'In the common Territories; and that an attempt by Congress or a Territorial Legislature to annul, abridge, or discriminate against any such equality of rights, wouid be unwise, in jajiicy. and repugnant to the Constitution ; and that it is the duty of the Federal U ivernment whenever such rights are violated, to afford the neeissirv, pro:er, and constitutional remedies for violation. Mr. Payne's concluding appeal to the I South was, very powerfuland was listened to with gre.it attention. He urged them not to destroy the Dem.H-ratic party for a mere , abstraction.

He contended they would be regaadcd by their bulenenta as an attempt to reopun the slave trade.. .Mr. Bulier, in alluding to the. remarks made by Mr. Johnson of Maryland, in regard to new Democratic States, said it was liKe the kettle calling the pot black. Mr. Johnson replied that .Maryland had never countenanced resistance to the fugitive slave law, anil had maintained a national position in the Union. Mr. ISutkr proceeded to sa- that Massachusetts had never betn under a rule that prevented a man from voting his sentiments, tor fear of the bludgeon or the bullet, floud aud piotnicted applause. Mr. Johnson desired to spertk, but Mr. Butler Wouhj not yieid, saying, however, liint he did not blame the Democratic party for this condition of affairs. lie knew they did all lliey could lo resist it.

Mr. Bayi.rd of Delaware presented another series of resolutions, as follows : The first re-ntiirms the Cincinnati platform. The second declares that the territorial governments are provisional and temporary; that during their existence, all citizens of the United Slates have an equal right to settle in them, without their rights of either person or property being destroyed or impaired by Congressional or territorial legislation. The third declares that it is the duty of the Government to protect the rights of persons and property oa the high seas, in the territories, or wherever else its constitutional authority extends. The fourth declares that when the settlers in the territories have adequate population to forai a State constitution, the right of sovereignty and commerce :vre consummated by their admission into the Union; they stand upon an equal footing with the citizens of other States; and that a State finis organized is to be admitted into the Union with slavery or no slaver'. Mr. Barksdale, of Miss., proceeded with a violent but eloquent Southern speech. He declared tliat when the Democratic partydies, the Constitution will die with it; that if the putty failed in its duty now, it will be more dead than if defeated at the polls. Gov. King, of Mo., addressed the Convention iti favor of harmony and conciliation. Delegates came here distructed to do the best that could be d mm for the Democratic party. Arrival of the Arlea.

In the meantime, forced loans and contributions of the most extraordinary character were being levied in every direction, for the immediate necessities of the army. The Minister of Finance had ordered no treasury drafts to lie paid at present, and that the Courts in adjudicating on the claims against the government properly should only give formal judgments. The British and French ministers were busy with their plans for compromise, into which they were seeking to draw our Minister, Mr. McLariP.

By this time an excited crowd of some 1,000 persons had gathered about the Commissioner's office, threatening a rescue. When the fugitive was taken before Judge Gould, the crowd surrounded the officers, endeavoring to rescue the man. Successful resistance was made for some time, when the rescuers, gaining an advantage, carried the negro to the river, where a ferryman was in waiting. He was rowed across, and, on arriving upon the opposite side, was rearrested by a West Troy coustable. Here another great, crowd gathered. The fugitive was taken to a justice's office, which the mob surrounded and broke in, and the fugitive was rescued from the officers and carried off in a carriage. Blows, pistol shots, and knock-downs occurred during the affair, but no one was seriously injured. Colored people were the most active participants in the rescue.

Epitoils : Your enquiry of Tuesday last, as to what arrangements this and adjoining Railroads were making tor halffare tickets to the Chicago Convention, has just been brought to my notice. In answer, I beg leave to say, that after experiencing the net results of our half-fare arrangements to the last two Indianapolis Conventions, there will le no more halffare tickets over this road to political conventions, under the present management. I will further add, that the present managers of this road henceforward will adept the general rule some time post adopted, und more recently affirmed by the Ohio Railroads, lo-wit: to grant no half fare tickets to any religious or other convention or assemblage whatever, except to agricultural or mechanical Fairs, whose object are so evidently and directly l-enefici il lo the Railroad interest. RespeetHrily, JOHN INGLE, Jr., Pres t E. & C. R. R.
