	Douglas, Stephen Arnold -> Presidential Campaign and After on Encyclopedia.com 2002
		The Democratic national convention at Charleston, S.C., in 1860 adopted Douglas's recommendations in a platform advocating nonintervention with slavery in the territories; the demands of William L. Yancey that the federal government protect the institution were thus rejected, and Yancey and other Southern delegates withdrew.
		In recent years, however, historians have asserted that he was one of the few men of pre-Civil War era with a truly national vision, and this was both the basis for his honorable attempts to reconcile differences and for his ultimate political failure, because the age was essentially one of bitter sectional controversy.
		Although Douglas led on all 57 ballots taken there for the presidential nomination he was unable to muster the necessary two-thirds of the vote, and the convention adjourned.

	With Nominee Already Set, It's All About Bounce - from TBO.com
		The 1860 Democratic convention was so roiled by the slavery issue that it adjourned from Charleston, S.C., after 10 days and reconvened in Baltimore to finish.
		The glitzy, high-tech Democratic National Convention that opens today will bear little resemblance to the nostalgically enhanced conventions of old, when dozens of roll calls could be required to agree on a presidential choice.
		Conventions are especially important for challengers because they offer the same access to viewers that the president automatically gets because of his office.
