What did the southern state delegates do when Stephen Douglas was nominated for president?
Many Southern delegates did not participate in the eventual choice of Douglas. Others walked out of the second meeting in Baltimore.The first meeting of the national convention of the Democratic Party was held in Charleston, South Carolina in April, 1860, but 50 Southern delegates would not participate because a pro-slavery platform was voted down. This led to a deadlock among the remaining delegates, because Stephen Douglas could not get a 2/3 majority of all registered delegates.The convention adjourned and reconvened in Baltimore two months later, where new delegates were seated, prompting many of the remaining Southern delegations to also withdraw. With Douglas the choice of 99% of those voting, the 2/3 rule was suspended and he was declared the nominee.Southern Democrats met separately and nominated their own candidate, sitting Vice President John Breckenridge.

They threatened to leave the convention.

What Happened at the party convention for the Democrats that affected the 1860?
Many Southern delegates walked out of the Democratic Convention after it refused to include a plank to defend slavery in the platform. They later met and nominated their own pro-slavery candidate. This obviously split the Democrat vote and made it easier for the Republican, Lincoln, to win.
