g EXECUTIVE OFFICE, BATON ROUGE.
Whereas. the Constitution of the State of
Louisiana authorizes the Executive to convene
the General Assembly thereof on extraordi-
nary occasions; and whereas, the election OF
Abraham Lincoln to the Office of President Of
the United States by a sectional and aggres-
siye anti-slayery party, whose hostility to the
people and the institutions of the South has
been evinced by repeated and long-continued
violations Of constitutional obligations and
fraternal amity, now consummated by this
last insult and outrage perpetrated at and
through the ballot-box, does, in my opinion,
as well as that of large number of citizens
eg all narties and pursuits. furnish an occasion
such as is contemplated by the Constitution;
and whereas, some of our sister States, ag-
grieyed like ours, are preparing measures for
their future security, and for the safety OF
their institutions and their people, and both pa
triotism and the necessity of self-presefvation
require us te deliberate upon our own course
of action;
Now, therefore, ], Thomas 0. Moore, Gov
ernor of the State of Louisiana, do hereby
convene the Legislature Of this State in ex-
ira session, and DO appoint Monday, the 10th
DAY of December next, at II ", for the meet
ing Of both Houses of the Legislature at the
capitol in Baton Rouge.
In testimony whereof / have hereunto set
nv hand and caused the great seal Of the
State to be affixed, at the city of Baton
Rouge, the seat of Government of this State,
on this 18th day of November, A. d. 1860,

intelligent and independent yeomanry. No other
National Platform but theirs ever asserted the
benefcent principle of FREE HOMEsTEADs; no
other party but the Republican ever reported and
carried through Congress Free Homestead bull.
Their bill was radical comprehensive, thorough;
all the Republicans in both Houses supported it;
but when the Democratic majority in the Senate
rejected this and insisted on passing halfway
measure instead, the Republicans, after struggling
desperately for whole measure, consented, in
view of the exposed and needy condition of the
sauatters of Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota,

rarily rather than get nothing That halfway
measure, though it had passed both Houses with

pass it over his veto. So we must await the inau.
guration of Republican President to give life to
thorough, benefcent Homestead Act.
Freemen Of America such are the leading prac.
teal measures of the Republican party, aside from
those directly related to Slavery. Throughout all

Democracy insisted on spending month after month
in sterile speech making distractions connected
with Slavery ard Negroes. John Browns raid,

COULD THE FRENCH SACK LONDON 2

The report of the British National Defense Com
mission, which was recently published in London,
states that if the Emperor of the French were dis
posed to send hostile army to England, itwould be
impossible for all the available vessels of the Royal
Navy" to prevent it from landing at some point
of the 2,l47 miles of coast line of England and
Wales, not to speak of that of Ireland. 1t having
been also conceded, at various times before and
since the publication of the famous De JOnyille
pamphlet, that landing Of 100000 or more
E'renchmen could be effected in the British Islands,
under skillful management the only important point
TO be considered is, what power of resistance Great
Britain has at her command TO meet such an inva-
sion.
In compliance with an order Of the House Of
Commons, the strength of the British land forces
was reported in May last. 1t was as follows:
Total regimenta establishments, l44, l48; effect
ives of all ranks on the lst of May, 1873 952; en-
bodied militia, 1888 When this statement was
made public an almost universal cry from all parts
of the three Kingdoms was raised, as to the man.
ner in which the s75, 100000 appropriated for the
army estimates were spent since an analysis
of the 144, l48 men, given the available material
of the line revealed the startling fact that
4" scarcely 1000 infantry could be mustered for
" offensive or defensive purposes, alta given place"
Mr.. Sidney Herbert and his associates of the
Horse Guards, Immediately held consultation, and
The London Times ell deavored to quiet the anxiety
of the people. 1t said "We took occasion to ex-
anime the figures by which these allegations were
supported, and explained in some detail the ac-
" tua position Of affairs" 1t tried to show that
{" if by the term troops it was intended to de-
scribe only infantry Of the line the state of the
lease had been pretty accurately given, but that
" in reality the force at home comprised strong di-
visions of other arms of the service so that its
aggregate strength was by no means so small as
might have been imagined"
The result of this nervousness on the part of the
public and of the consultation at the Horse Guards
was completely new table of statistics, putting
down the military forces of Great Britain at home,
at 1913, 259; or 179, Ill men more than the state
ment submitted two months previously. The dis
crepancy is not difficult Of explanation. The first
was issued with the intention to show the number
of men that could, under favorable circumstances,
and on receiving reasonable notice. be made avail
able for immedi.te duty; the last to supply the
sum total of every man and boy entered on the mil
itary pay roll, and consequently receiving share
of the S75, OOO 900, beside including 227 l79 volun.
teers and militia, Of whom fully 200, 900 have no
existence as soldiers. Then there are g, 3O2 men
accounted for, as belonging to "depots." Lest we
may be charged with prejudice in describing
what these depots' are, We will cite The London
