A special dispatch to tie Commercial,
from Frankfort, Kentucky, says: A conven-
ton Of rebels assembled here to-day,for the
osteusble purpose of making nominations
for theAugust elections The House rtfns-
ed the use Of rs Hail ali ~ d decisive vote
they then rented the Theatre. Delegates
from forty counties were present. David
Merriweather was elected Chairman. On
taking the Chair he said he hoped the con-
vention would do nothing that loyal citizens
should not do.
In the meantime regiment of soldiers
with fixed bayonets formed in front of the
Theatre. When a cali OF The counties
was made, Col. Gilbert read the following
order:
.'Reliahle information having been receiv-
ed at headquarters that number Of rebel
emssares are in this city. il is ordered that
al persons now here, not residents or MEM
hers of the Leo AZURE orr ffsc RS Of ihatState
Government. forthwith leave their names at
these headquarters, accompanied with salts
factory references as to their loyalty to the
Government"
Col. Gilbert said, 10 facilitate proceedings
and save the convention trouble, be wished
his Adiuiant would take the names of del
egates.
He said, "there are those here who we
know to be rebels Of the worst kind. Un-
der the disguise of the name Of Democrats,
you have assembled here with the hope OF
perfeclng your designs, but it will no 90.
You are repudiated by the Legislature, who
have srefused you the use Of their halls ;
Democratic newspapers scorn and disown
you. There is no use in your holding
a convention in Kentucky. There will be
no delegate p of undoubted loyalty to the
government allowed to run for any office.
Such meetings as these you shall not hold
within the limit Of my command, and to
avoid the 1ilficulty you will disperse to your
homes, and in future desist from all such
attempts 10 precipitate civil war upon your
State"
After Col Gi bert had spoken an attempt
was made to offer resolutions which We're
respectfully declined 10y Col. Gilbert. The
body then adjourned. There is some excite
ment in the city.

Spurgeon On the American War.

Some months ago, STURGEON, the great
reform preacher OF England, was asked his
opinion Of the American war. Said be, sit
matters not to us about the war; the reb-
els are as near in the right as the loyal
party since both are conteniing for slave
holding constitution. The war is not for
liberty; the poor slave is to remain a poor
slave, no difference which side wins. There
fore, since God can take 10 part for either
side, neither can christians"
Since the Proclamation his opinions have
changed. In his sermons and prayers in
the presence of 5000 to 1900 persons at
the Tabernacle he forgets not every Sun
day to speak and pray for the union. In
the course of his prayer two weeks ago, he
said, 20 God, we pray for the nation acrcss
the ocean: and this time we will make use
a suppication which we have not used these
three months. We were afraid that our
Northern brethren were not sincere in their
throwing off the bonds of slavery, but now
they have come out honestly, we pray, God
speed the North" Throughout the vast
assemblage there was one hearty, loud re-
spouse of "Amep," which was the more
thrilling because in the M tropoltan Tab
ernacie the worshipers Go not generally
make any audible responses. by any
means" continued Mr.. Spurgeon, lily any
means set the slave free, but let this cruel
war be also stopped"
We offer this as a reply TO the question,
what good has the Proclamation done
We further answer. it has changed the
whole heart Of England.

Will they Fight.

The noted black orator, Fred. Douglass,
himself once slave, made sppech last
week in Boston, at which he said:
/ know it is said that the negroes won't
fight. But distrust the accusor. In one
breath the Copperheads tell YOU the slaves
won't fight, and in The next they tell you
that the only effect Of the proclamation Is to
make the slaves cut their masters threats
laughter and sir up Instructions all over
the South. The same men tell you that the
negroes are law and good for nothing, and
in the next breath they tell you that they
will all come North and take the the labor
away from the laboring white men here.
Laughter and cheer IN one breath they
tell YOU that the negro can never learn the
military art, and in the next they tell you
that there is Danger that white men may be
outranked by colored men Confined
laughter. may be pardoned If leave
these objections 10 Their own contradictions
,ud absunlities. They are like the Kilken-
ny cats, and there is far probability of
the same re ult. Great laughter. But we
are asked why have the negroes remained
silent spectators of the dreadful struggle now
going on? am notannoyel by this ques-
ton. The course pursued by them Is cred
ilale to their wisdom. The negro has prov
I'd that he is meek like the white man.
He will fight. but he must have Il reasonable
prospect Of whipping somebody. Up to the
first day of last month there was no earth
~ chance Of success in rising among the
slaves. Both the Union and Confederate
armies were in the field against the negro
Madness itself could NOT counsel the slaves
10 rise il such circumstances. Their not
doing SO should be charged mol to their COW
ardice, but to their good sense. But who
are these who are now opposing the measure
ofputtirg arms in the ands ofcolored men
Who are those who are opposed 10 raising
cdored troops? They are men who would
gladly disarin every white soldier now fight
ing for their country, and hand the country
o, er, bound hand and foot, into the hands OF
Jeff. Davis. You know the nen,and ought
to know how much weight should be given
to the counsels OF such men. Do you ask
me whether black men viii freely enlist in
the service of the country? | tell you
that that depends upon the wbits men Of
the country. The government must assure
them Of protection as soldiers, and give
them fair chance of winning distinc-
ton and glory in common with other sol
diers.
