THATf NATIONAL CONVEN
, TION.
The call for a National Convention late
ly issued, Ow private circulation, by a few
damaged Politicians of this locality, has,
at length, attracted the attention of the
Philadelphia North American; and that
sedate, sober and stately publication gives
the movement the approbation of its
experieneo judgment. The North Amer
ican should have come to an earlier con
clusion upon the. fitness of . this unclean;
king forlthe reason that, for want of
early and prompt encouragement, the
whole thi4 has been abandoned. The
chaps who started this call for a conven•
Lion to "'Protect civil and religious liberty
in the Nei , World," couldn't stand the
effect of their own humor. When we read
over some; of the names attached to it, we
couldn't rest until we exhibited it to a few
-adiniring;.:friends. Old know nothing
• castawayOhe very lazzaroni of partiian
refugees, 'there had themselves registered,
promising to defend "religious liberty,"
now that it is not in danger, and that, too,
throughorilt the whole of the New World.
We have, (p our limited,though active and
chequered; experience, frequently ob
served thti': dodges of restless and. harm
poliOcal demagogues; have often
been diskusted with some, and pro
voked itifi the audacity of others;
but this cal' for a national convention, at
this juncOre,• to protect the "religious
liberties &the people," 1s neither disgust
ing or prOoking: it is, on the contrary,
amusing. OliVe havn't read anything that
has afforded us more enjoyment since our
first perusal of Harry Loraque'r. Just
imagine one of these waggish roguee,crawl
ing in the' darkness of a Know Nothing
lodge. as if through the darkness of eter
nal doomOoining a conspiracy, by com
mitting perjury against the Constitution of
his count#, conspiring to deprive his
neighbor- of all civil and religious privi
leges, and then reflect upon this same
thick•skin4ed. demagogue now volunteer
ing to defend the citizen in tho enjoyment
of both! (After reflection the honest citi
zen may grow' indignant at such hypocrisy
as this; 14 to us it is rather entertaining.
We are pleased at the coolness and sub
limity of its impudence, but we are partic
ularly attracted by the shifts and dodges
of its origiimitor. Just cunning enough to
be constatitly overreaching himself, his
limited calibre is all the time, concocting
plans for 4iolitical promotion. He ima
gines hiantelf much craftier than an old
fox, but the mere amateurs of his own
party eaeily circumvent him. The
overthrowlof the Abolitionihs in the
late eonteos, he sees, is the death of that
party, andihe immediately issues a call fur
a convent(bh to form a new one, in the
holm of being made prominent in itseoun
eels heree4er. He tried a similar dodge
in 1856, when he struck a bargain between
his wing ef:the Know Nothings and the
Republican's in Philadelphia ; but it did
him no service. As soon as the bargain
was completed, he bad to lake a back seat
in the neWr i combination ; he was left out
in the cold;litvhere has remained ever since.
His industri and perseverance, however,
to form andlead a new party are commend
able, but ec!en if he and his fugleman do
succeed irO:organizing such a movement,
they will. reap no benefit from it. They
may possibly reach the dignity of Vice
Presidents!ii:ff the first meeting, but as for
the "Earlikai of Hereford" and the other
pickings, they will not be permitted to
have. even a, taste. Their's will be, even

WESTERN POLITICS.
The tartar we extend our vision in the
Western depkrtment olpolities, the greater
are seen to lie the rascality and despera
tion of the Abolition politicians. In lowa,
at her late election, the mo i st shameless
and palpablOrands were perpetrated; the
:soldiers in Ciimp in that State, numbering
many thouruiiids, were entirely disfran
chised, nrilerik they voted the Abolition
ticket. De4ocratic tickets were destroy
ed by the commanding officers of the camps
and every facility offered to those who
voted the opPosite ticket. In this man
ner lowa miff prevented from wheeling
into the Deniheratic column by thousands
of a majority-k and, instead of the perpe
trators of the outrages being ashamed of
their proceedings they impudently refer
to them as a triumphant evidence of the
soldiers in th r e service being all Republi
lli
cans.
In Illinois An. few days previous to the
election in th:kt State, the Governor issued
the followingl-yifs.mous order:
STATS OF ILLINOIS,
Exit UTIVE DEPARTMENT, r
Springfield, October, 1862. 1
Enrolling 011icer, &c., ------- County:
To secure it more complete enrollment
of all persona in this State liable to be
drafted for Military duty, you are hereby
instructed to; . :.kttend the polls in person, or
by deputy, in each precinct of your dis
trict, on the lay of the next election, No
vember 4, 180, and procure the names of
all voters. "
If it should come to your knowledge
that any perthins, not inhabitants of this
State on the ;first day of April, 1848, shall
have voted oi!ithat day, who have claimed
or who may hereafter establish that they
are exempt frbni draft by reason of their:
being citizens of some foreign StaKci*
ing allegiance ;thereto, you are liertibriit
structed to lodge complaints against them
for false and fraudulent voting.
RicuArm YATK,S, Governor.
The object of this order was simply to
intimidate voters—to keep them from the
polls by thretitening a draft in the State,
of which there was not, and is not, the
slightest prObftbility. But, to show the
utter recklessness of Gov. Yates, it is only
necessary to mention the fact that if he
desired merely to obtain a more correct
list of per i sois liable to be drafted, his bet
ter plan would have been to let all vote
who were entitled to 'that privilege, and
then procure the names from the poll lists
after the election. la
.this way he could
have secured a full and complete list of ,
all who voted, and thus saved the State
thousands of dollars. But his Excel
leney's plan was to defraud legal voters of
their rights, by preventing them from go
ing to the polls.
In addition to this perforinance of the
Governor of Illinois, we have the follow
ing in relation to him, which we copy
from the Chicago Times of Wednesday
last:
"The Democracy would have carried
the city handsomely but for one of the
most shameless and scandalous frauds
that has ever been perpetrated at an elec
tion. What is called the Hecker regiment
arrived here at about two o'clock P. Ni.,
from Springfield, ostensibly on their way
to Washington, having been brought this
roundabout route, at a large cost to the
Government, for the use to which' they
were put. On their arrival, the greater
part of them were divided into squads,
which, with arms in their hands, pro
ceeded, under competent leadership, to
roam from poll to poll. Possibly from
fifty to one hundred of the regiment were
legal voters, but not lessthan six hundred
votes were cast by them! The agent of
this audacious fraud was the Governortf
Illinois himself, 34110 had preceded that,
regiment to this city, and who, during the
day degraded his office and disgraced him.

tion precincts:.
ILLINOIS
This State, which the telegraph, on
Wednesday last, informed us had gone
Republican, and which that instrument
kept in doubt afterwards for a couple of
days, has, it seems. gone Democratic by
about twenty thousand majority, giving Us
nine Congressmen and a large majority,in
the Legislature. Our readers will, there
fore, see that Illinois is no longer
doubt," and we suspect that a few days
will show that Wisconsin, Michigan and
Minnesota have not done so well for the
Abolitionists as is now reported.

Defences of Corinth
The defences of Corinth are being
strengthened on an extended scale. Over
one hundred buildings, in the line of the,
fortifications now completed, have been
appraised and torn down. The seminary
building is now used as a hospital, but
will probably be destroyed, since it is in
the range of our guns. The Tishomingo
House, a very large building, situated in
the centre of the town, just beside the rail
road track, is to be converted into a hospi
tal, for which it is well adopted.

The Fortifications Around Wash
ington.
The important Military Commission now
inspecting the fortifidatiens for the defence
of Washington will Make an elaborate re
port on the whole subject, whiCh will be
of great interest to military men every
where. The total perpihery of the chief
works around the city is in excess of thirty
five miles. It is the opinion of the com
mittee, so tar as they have examined, that
the sites of the various forts have been
judiciously selected, and the forts them
selves are well constructed ; but that
more artillery and larger garrisons
are required to render them more
thoroughly defensible; and also that the
intervals between the larger works should,
in ninny places, be strengthened by the
constrnction of rifle pits, redans, and
ahattis, considering it clear that if an at
tack be made upon Washington it cannot
be made along the whole periphery of de
fence at the same moment, but that the
enemy will mass the strength of their at
tack against some portion of the line,
probably not exceeding a mile and a half
in length, if so much; and it is the opin
ion of Generals Totten, Cullum and Bar
nard, the three chief engineer officers of
the commission, that there are por
tions of our ines which eminently
call for additional safeguards against an
assault of this description. This commis
sion, we may add, has been assembled a t
the direct request of General Barnard, one
of the most accomplished engineer officers
in this or any other, service, ander whose
chief supervision the whole defenses have
been constructed in view of the events. of
last August. He was unwilling longer to
have imposed upon him the undiyided re
sponsibility for the correctness add suffi
ciency of works of such importance; and
feeling that still additional defenses were
necessary, be has very wisely sought the
endorsement of his views by this commis
sion as preparatory to laying the whole
subject before Congress at its next session,
with a request for an appropriation, which,
at a small additional cost, will render our
national capital as impregnable as any for
ti lied town on earth.
Winter Weather in Ohio
It commenced snowing in Toledo, Ohio,
last Friday night before bed time,and con•
tinned till about ten o'clock on Saturday
morning, at which time the ground was
covered about three inches deep. On
Saturday night it turned very cold, and
froze all the apples on the trees. Nearly
all the winter apples in the country are
ruined. Such a snow storm and freeze
were never seen there before in October
by the oldest inhabitant.
FOREIGN NEWS
The French Ministerial Crisis
The Paris correspondent of the London
Murnt:ny lust, writing on the nth of Oc
tober;thus describes the ministerial crisis
in France, and the probable changes :
"This has been a day of agitation, anxi
ety and excitement amongst the members
of the imperial cabinet and foreign diplo
matists. We are in the midst of a minis
terial crisis. I will endeavor to explain
the position of the Emperor towards his
ministers. When the Emperor left Paris
for Bearuz he assured the leading members
of the cabinet of his intention to withdraw
the French army from the States of the
Church'at the earliest convenient period.—
. . Thouvenel, the Minister of Foreign
A fairs,gave such assurances to the Italian
gor rnment, and wrote dispatches to Rome
preparing the French Ambassador to make
representations to Cardinal Antoneli to
that effect. Count de Persigny, as a Min
ister of the Interior, and charged with
the responsibility of the politics of the min•
istorial press, repeated in the Constitu
net especially, the assertion that the occu
pation of Rome was to have a limit, and
not to be - permanent, and the :data quo
maintained, as the l'ltramentane journals
constantly and emphatically declared.
" Meanwhile an intrigue was going on,
headed by a party at-court devoted to the
Empress and the Papacy, to turn out M.
de Persigny; and later occurred 'a second
intrigue to get rid of M. Fotdd. Both
these mameuvres, however, at the time,
failed, and the Emperor renewed his as
surances of confidence to the Minister of
the Interior and the Minister of. Finance.
M. Thouvenel got permission to publish
the Roman correspondence in the Mold
teur, and his Majesty seemed disposed to
prosecute an agreed-upon policy towards
Rome, which would end in placing a limit
to the occupation. The Emperor return
ed from Biarritz, when, as I understand
the story, his Majesty began to show symp
toms of having changed his mind, and re
versed his intention once more.
"The Cabinet communicated with each
other, and a majority, amongst whom
were M. I'ersigny, Fould, Thouvenel,
Rouher and Baroche, determined to re
sign. This move took place, as far as I
can learn, only two days since. The Em
peror did not wish to get rid of the whole
of his Cabinet, and sought to calm and
conciliate. ~.
"I have seen a lief of the proposed .
new ministry, in which occur the names: ,
of Viscount La Guerroniers, the founder
of La France, and M. Drouynnde L' huys,
who returns to the Foreign Office, and who
is known to be pro Papal. Count Walew
ski would, of course,
remain in the Cabi
net, he havinglong declared for the Villa
franca compact. The latest intelltgenee
I could get to-day was that M. Fould, the
Minister of Finance, left this morning for
St. Cloud, with a sort of ministerial ulti-
mutul, in the name of himself and col
leagues. Early in the day his Excellency
returned to Paris, andhe immediately pro
ceeded to the Ministry of Finance. Shortly
after he was joined there by M. M. Persig
ny, Thouvenal, Baroche, and Rouher.—
Up to the moment I am writing these
important members of the Imperial Cabi
net, are in council, and no one knows
what has taken place."
A Budhist Temple
A traveler writes to the Straits Times
an account of a journey through Siam, in
which he describes a gorgeous lludhist
temple in Aynthia, the old and now ruined
ca )ital :
'he temple itself was very grand, of
sense size and height, marble pillars
supporting the roof, the walls literally
covered to the height of about twenty feet
with small gilded niches containing figures
of Budha. There must have been thou
sands of these little idols, and the value
may be judged on reflecting that all these
images, from the largest, measuring some
times a hundred and twenty feet in length,
to the very smallest, are made of clay,
incased in copper, and that again covered
with a layer of pure gold.
Of another, he says:
'lnside and outside, the building itself
you would say, was made of gold and
precious stones ; but the articles of orna
ment which you find inside, there is no
mistake about. There is a massive silver
mat, of nearly half an inch thick, entirely
covering the floor, with vases of solid
gold, chandeliers, images of Budha, all
made of pure massive gold ; the curtain
surrounding the shrine is cloth of gold;'
the wails themselves, plated with. gold
thick as ships' yellow metal, form a
splendid contrast to the flimsy gimcrack
decorations of the smaller temples which
line the banks of the rivit." We , fear
such wealth es this may prove too much
for French cupidity. Already the French
in Saigon have had a diplomatic dispute
with the Siamese Kings as to the posses•
lion of part of Camoodia.

stances these French residents have been
complaining to the Imperial Government,

a redress of these alleged wrongs which is
said to be at the bottom of the reclama•
:ions presented by Mercier to Seward."
