They pointed out that the North's textile industry depended on southern cotton
Well, they didn't really. Northern states didn't really have slavery much at all. Though they did want more political and military power than the south, so they started the civil war. The civil war actually really wasn't just all about freeing the slaves. Actually, freeing the slaves may have been the last thing on their minds.

Why did southern democrats refused to nominate Stephen Douglas?
Like all things political, it's complicated.One obvious reason is that Douglas was not pro-slavery enough. While he was opposed to abolition, he refused to strongly endorse the Dred Scott decision and other pro-slavery judicial rulings or legislation.It has also been suggested that pro-slavery secessionists chose not to support Douglas knowing that this would lead to a split in the Democratic party and, effectively, throw the election to Lincoln. Douglas was not vehemently pro-slavery, but he clearly wasn't morally opposed to it. Douglas did claim not to own any slaves personally, but this was a technicality; his wife and children did, and his household benefited economically from them. Lincoln's anti-slavery sentiments are well testified to by both public addresses and private letters, and secessionists felt that a Lincoln administration would soon provide the impetus for the southern states to finally secede.
