lion Of the American party in Louisiana, re.
pudatsd the eighth section Of the Phladcl-
phia Platform. proierring that his right arm

Mr. Smith, Of Alabama, took issue with

The Cost - According to a Paris CORE
spondent OF the .Naiionai Iaieiiigencer, the
cost Of the Eastern war greatly exceeds one
million Of dollars per day. This is indeed
enormous. Such an outlay, long continued
must produce disastrous results to the ma.
tons immediately engaged. II is said thai

France, only 10000 remain, The other 10

much more to convey TO the Crimea.

Proposal for a National Re-
publican Convention.

from The 7 oledo blades hecemhef H.
1t is fully time that The Republican press
and the active friends of the Republican
cause were directing their attention to the
work OF completing a national organization.
The democrats have their national committee,
who meet IN January at Washington, to is
sue the call for their national convention
The National Americans have issued
through the President Of their national com.
ell, the call for their convention, to nominate
for President and Vice President, at Phia~
delphia, on the 22d OF FEBRUARY. But the
Republicans have yet no national organic
alton, and no committee 90 issue call for q
national convection.
1t has been suggested by portion Of the
press that the cIairmen Of the different
state republican committees, should bold a
meeting at some place, aud unite IN issuing a
call Tor nominating convention. But IN a
numbered states, where there are mnltitudes
OF friends Of the Republican cause, there
are no state republican committees. This
Is the case n Iowa, Illinois, New Hampshire,
Connecticut Rhode Island, New Jersey, Ca.
lilornlu, and in some lmlf dozen slaves
states, which have large number Of friends
Of the Republican movement In New
York, and some other states, where commit
tees have been appointed, those committees
have never designated any of their number
as chairman. So that national committee,
to be called by the chairmen Of these COM
mnteos, would be called only by few
states.
1t seems TO MS that the best way to prepare
the way for our nominating committee, Is 10
have an informal gathering of Republicans

DEAR SIR; see in your paper of 22d in
slant a statement concerning the appoint

ton TO which you alude was between Mr.
Ilurauo King, LIST Assistant Postmaster Gen
tfdIt anu llNHClIt anu Nui WIN MI Aulup-
bell, the Postmaster General, as stated in
your article. With this exception, the state
ment is correct, as far as 1t goes, but 1t does
not embrace a l that occurred between Mr..
King and myself on that occasion.
When made the application for the APP
pointment, Mr. King asked me if the appli-
cant were a Know Nothing replied that
did not know whether he was OF not; and
asked him If it we're possible that his being
a Know Nothing would be an obiectIon?-
He replied, Yes, am acting under orders
not to appoint any Know Nothing, and to
turn out all whom know belong to the or
der" ! then asked him if native born cit
izen and a foreign Roman Catholic, both
equally competent, were to apply for the APP
pointment, on which would he bestow t?-
lie said he should be compelled to appoint
the foreign Catholic. | then left the De-
pertinent, and do not know whether any APP
polulmcnt has yet been made or not
