According II accounts from Frankfort

Austrian Ministers, to whom was refer

expected to assume more decided
character on the arrival of dispatches,
which were looked for from Constantine
pie, containins the final discrimination Of
the Porte. II wever this might turn out
to be, it would appear that Great Britain,
IN the mean time, was using her inllH-
ence at Constantinople, to prevail on the
Porte to consent to allow Greece to be
officers, to withdraw the Turk sh troops,
and accept an annual tribute and ac-
acknowledgement of dependence To this
Russia is said not to be unwilling, pro-

up TO her. A d numerous meeting OF
the Dvan, on the 10th November, an
amnesty to all the revoted coun ries, and
whether they should not be differently CO.
verned, are said to have been the subjects
of consideration; but nothing was re-
solved on. Intelligence had been re-
ceived a, Constantnople Of the surrender
of Corinth to The Greeks, and that the
siege of Missolonghi had been raised
Additional confirmation had also been
received in London, from Trieste, and
from Salamina, of the defeat Of the Turk

of September. They appear to have at

fed in great confus ion for the Darda-

This kind of management is similar

that any non conventionist should conde-

EDWARDSNlLLE, MARCH "A, 1879.
A gentleman has arrived al 81 Louis
who left Washington on the Sd inst. BY
aim, we understand, Information is re-
ceived that the Hon. NINIAN EDWARDS,
Senator in Congress from this STATE, has
been appointed by the President, with
the concurrence of the Senate, to be
Minister at Mexico. He may there fore
be expected to arrive a, his residence in
this place IN few days.
The meetings in the several election
districts IN this countv, on Saturday last,
were numerously attended. The pro-
ceedines in each, as far as they have
been communicated, are published.
The committees are TO meet in this
town on Saturday nexl, at 10 O'Clock,
A. NJ. 10 nominate Candidates for the
legislature, 10 be supported by the anti
cohvenuonists at the ensuing election on
the first Monday in August. A general
meeting OF the citizens Of the county,
who are opposed to convention, Is IN
yited at the same place, on that day, at
O'Clock, P. NJ. to which the nomIna,
ton Will be submitted Tor concurrence
or rejection.
| will thus be seen, that, although the
almost CO hdence may be placed IN the
intelligence, Judgment, and integrity of
me gentlemen composing the nominating
committee, the citizens will have direct
and efTertua voice in the nomination, and
may prevent the exercise OF an undue
influence in the selection of candidates.
This measure of the friends of free
| dom, adopted for the purpose OF concen-
irating their votes in the choice OF repre-
scnta,ves, that they may not again be
| misrepresented in the legislature, has
ally alarmed the slave party IN
Kaskaskia, and they have raised the cry
Of PRESCRIPTION ! prescription 20 as
! If their friends in Madison and ST.. Clair
were about to be DISTINGUISHED. They
! .ey, how ever, quiet their fears. The
| ntl-conyentlonis,s have no intention, We
believe, to interfere with the rights and
privileges of individuals Of the conyen-
| tlon party. They may seek Office, and ,
II they can, obtain it-and may exercise
| very power which is given them by The
| constitution and laws of our country,
without any attempt of their oppo-
nents to modest them. We only ask the
same at their hands. We beg TO be ex-
used, however, from going among our
political enemies 10 choose officers.
AS the conventionists have pursued,
aud intend to pursue similar course,
| We cannot see the shadow of reason or
justice in their complaints. Let them,
we say, elect as many men OF their own
principles to the legislature as they can,
and they must grant US the same priv
ege.

extreme cold of the preceding week was

on the evening and night Of that day du
ing greater part of which the rain de-
scended in torrents. The solid coat oi
Ice which covered the ground, wnlie

gnisbshle ruin AS far as we have heard
there Is not any considerable stream
which has not lost its bridges. As the
roads in almost every direction have been

nitude to Justify US IN voting lot eoil'
venlIon at time when, by means OF the
glazing inequality of the representation,
less than one fourth of the voters may
palm upon the state despotic and anti
republican constitutions, IN spite OF the
other three fourths.
Resolved, That, whatever secondary
objects the convention party may have in
view, we are fully warranted by the pub
lie and private declarations of its leaders,
in the belief that the introduction OF un-
qualified and untermnable SLAVERY
is the great end to attain, which the most
reprehensible and unprecedented means
have been resorted to by them.
RESOLVED, That the pro ect which has
been avowed by some of the advocates of
a convention, of confirming the right of
suffrage TO those who pay taxes to the
state meets our decided disapproba'ion
lnasmuch as it would, under the present
system OF taxation, virtually dislranchise
nearly one halt OF the present electors of
| the state
ReSoived, That, at the present impor-
tant crisis, it is the duty and interest of
all who wish to peipetuate the blessings
OF liberty, and to avoid the horrors OF
slavery, TO rally around our free consi-
tution and discarding all personal and
local preIudices and predictions, 10
unite in supporting such candidates for
representative offices as may be agreed
upon by the great body oil the enemies
Of slavery.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
From L'Etoile.

From L'Etoile.
Paris, Jan. 3.-The the English pa.
pers are full Of commentaries on the
Mess 4ge of the President of the United
States. Every one consulis it according
to his poll ica views and privae inciina
tion-hut the fact IS, this long declaration
pieases no one. l. has no, even eScap-
ed censure on the part Of the American
papers
Mr.. Monroe, who is not Sovereign,
who has himself told us that he IS only
the first delegate of the people, has taken
in his Message the tone OF a powerful
Monarch, whose armies and fleets are
ready to go forth on the first signal. He
does more; he prescrbes to the Polen-
tates of Europe the conduct they are to
pursue in certain circumstances, if they
do not wish TO incur his disgrace. Such
is The prohibition which he issues against
their ever thinking of any new colonial
ton in The t7vo .AmericaS.
Mr. Monroe is the temporary Presi-
DEM OF Republic, situated on the east
ern coast of North America. This re-
public is bounded on the south by the
possessions of the King of Spain, and on
the north by those of the King of Eng
land. It's independence has only been
acknowledged for forty years--by what
title then are the tWo americas to be
under his immediate dependence, from
Hudson's Bay to Cape Horn What
Oh ii b., TTr,it
States, when the Emperor of Russia
wished to trace the demarcation of the
part of Territory which he claims on the
north east coast, as discovered by his
subjects This Monarch, however, did
no, presume to dictate laws to any of
the same coast. 1t was reserved tor Mr..
Monroe to snew us dictator, armed
with right OF superiority over the whole
OF the new world.
According to tho political system he
would establish, il would not be permit
ted to Spain to make the least effort to
re-enter on the territory which for three
centuries she has possessed. The King
Of Portugal, as the American papers
have observed Themselves, could not act
as Sovereign and father without ex-
posing himself to the wrath OF Mr.. Mon
roe. Engla would require bis previ-
GUS consent if it suited her interest to
make any new military or political esta
blishment either in Canada or Nova
Scotia. And We, Mr.. Mpnroe's Message
cnntains nhrases indirectly hostile to the
policy and ambilion of the Great Powers
of Europe! But what is tina. Power
which processes so proudly maxims OPP
posed to the rights of sovereignty and
the independence of Crowns What is
that Power which pretends 10 prescribe
to subjects the limits of obedience: Who
is she, in short, who does not fear to
compromise the existence of social or.
der, by declaring in the face Of Heaven
that she will not recognise any difference
between Government de facto and q
Government de jure
By bringinging under one point oil
view all the assertions and doctrines con.
tanned IN this Message, it is satisfactory
TO consider tina it has not yet received
the sanction OF any OF the An horlies,
even of the country where it appeared
and, in short, that the opinions of Mr..
Monroe are as yet merely the opinions
of a private individual.
Pope Leo XII. is said to be dangerous
