For the Bulletin.
Democratio-s State Convention,


In pursuance to previous notice, large
and enthusiastic meeting was held at the
Theatre-hall at Frankfort. Delegates from
most of the counties were there assembled for
the purpose of no minating candidates Tor the
next State election.
The men that were there collected were
neither office seekers nor broken down poll
ticiaus, but men who were truly patriotic,
DESTROYS of seeing more natural state of af-
fairs existing in Kentucky. They were
constitutional men aud expected when they
went there to enjoy tights and privileges
secured to them in the constitution, But
they were disappointed. and why should
they be. when they look back upon the
course that the po,0ers that be have taken
They have suppressed municipal liberty, by
force of,arms. They have hampered com
mercial liberty, by prohibitCry tariffs, and by
block AIDES and embargoes. They have taken
away the liberty of locomotion by the insti-
tuition of oppressive passports. They have
taken from man the liberty of his person, by
the suspension of the writ of Habeas Corpus;
and have done away with the liberty of
freemen in various other ways than those
that I have mentioned. They have also
marshaled vast armies and brought them
into our State, to destroy our State liberty.
And how we'll they have succeeded, for b ere
we see that very great majority Of the peo-
pie of our State, are deprived of the right
Of. ID n 70
to keep an arme ed force in the State to deny
them privileges guaranteed to them by the
constitution. How long such astate ofthings
will exist, we cannot tell. but it is to be
hoped that liberty will visit the earth once
more and give to the white man at least a
sufficient amount of freedom to identify
him from the black race, but so long as the
liberty of "he Free Anas' leans of african
descent" is the predominant element in the
atmosphere of the Administration party, just
so long will the liberties of the white man
be disrespected and the ends Of truth, justice
and principle be thwarted. In conclusion
will state that old Mason was we'll repre-
scented in the Convention, by her best and
most influential men; and although they,
like the delegates from other counties, re-
turned to their homes without finishing their
good work, they nevertheless weep not as
those without hope;" but are satisfied that
their cause is founded upon justice and prin-
ciple, and though crushed to the earth will
arise again. For the sincerity of their cause
they have only to refer to their constitution.
atty, and for the strength of it they have
only to remember that they are kept down
by an armed force. ADELEGATE.

Rebel Hopes i'm Napoleon.

The Richmond E1anai32e9', after demon
strating that the insurgents have nothing
to hope from England, says:
But France is very different entity. The
French, too, have had their wars But they
have not swallowed the Opiatc OF s. national
debt. From time to time France has coolly
repudiated its debt, and neither this nor any
other Generation of Frenchmen are deaf to the
voice of ambition. To be popular in France
the ruler for the time must bestir himself must
enlarge the sphere of French influence. and
treat the people to a dish of carnage now and
then. Napoleon is wise in his generation. He
knows better than the Rios Faineants. Even
if he had not Mexico, it would be reasonable
to look for his finger in the American pie. But
the possession OfMexicO appears to render his
Interference compulsory whenever it shall be-
come evident that this Confederacy will ceaec
to exist without it. The news which the reaoer
will find elsewhere in this paper renders the
probabilities to which we have referred dOubly
strong. That news renders certain the only
point in the case which was doubtful
1t was not entirely ascertained whether the
French invasion of Mexico was to create Eu-
ropean government there. or simply to reduce
the native organization to Order-whether the
French interference was to be permanent or
temporary. The movement to declare Maxim
ilian of Austria, or some other whom n lpolCOn
shall dictate. the nominal sovereign OF Mexico
which the cOnquerors have put on foot. settles
that question beyond doubt.
A new throne is about to be erected whose
occupant shall be the puppet Of France; that
Idee Napoleonienne which has already been once
embodied in kingdom Of Italy and Victor
Emanuel, is to receive new shape, habitation,
and name, on the American continent But it
will soon turn to airy nothing once more-that
throne will prove an unsteady seat, that crown
will be fragile head dress, that sceptre will
break like reed, on the day when the subju-
cation of the South shall be completed and the
power of the United States restored. To pre-.
vent this cOnsummatiOn is now q political ne
ceSsity for the master of France.

The Radicals in Missouri,

1t is not speaking too harsh!y to say
that the friends of liberty and progress
in Missouri are working for the rebels as
vigorously and efficiently as JEFF. DAVIS
can desire. The St. Louis papers publish
a letter from well known gentleman of
Missouri, who has hitherto identified him
self with the radical party, in which this
easily understood truth is clearly brought
out. This letter is addressed to brother
radical in an adjoining county, and the
writer, after reminding his friend that the
success of the party heretofore has been
mainly due to the interference of the mill
tary in their behalf, at the polls, advises
the adoption of more moderate counsels,
as follows:
; We are no longer in a position thus to work
upon the fears of the people, drive them to our
support. Hereafter we must appeal to their
reason and not their fears. The wild revolu
uonary doctrines of some of our newspapers
and speakers find but little favor with the class

The Forgery of American Greenbacks
in England.

The Manchester E!caminer, of July II,
gives the following on the termination of
the trial of the two individuals charged
with having forged ''greenbacks I" at Shelf
field. The case was before the Assizes
Grown Court, Mr. Justice MELLER presid-
ing. The Examiner says:
Edwin Hides and Henry Light, who, on
the previous day, had been found guilty of
forging American $40 notes, commonly
known as greenbacks, at Sheffield, were
this morning brought up for sentence On
the part of the prosecution, Hides had been
recommended to the merciful consideration
of the Court, and his lordship stated that
he took this into account, as well as the
good character which had been given him,
when he sentenced him to fifteen months
Imprisonment. Light, WHO was deeper in
the crime than Hides, Ills lordship SEN
fenced to four years peral servitude.

Missouri Radicals.

The Anzeige''-a Republican German
paper printed at St. Lcuis-is disguised
with the ultraism of some of it's associates,
and says:
If political progress and the freedom and
welfare of a nation could be advanced by
incessant appeals to the passions of men;
if the happiness of this State, especially
could be attained by eternally stirring up
party hate and arousing an anarchical spirit,
or by maliciousy prosecuting all citizens
who do not confess a certain predetermined
faith; then, indeed. our Radical journals would
be on the right road. Their only endeavor
during the past years, and especially during
the past five months, since their worthy chief,
Gen. Curtis, was deservedly removed from his
Office, has been to promote anarchy by aimless
agitation, to throw obstacles in the way of
Government and of the State authorities, and
to embtter the minds of the citizens, and by
all these means to prevent the restoration

Il is stated by the Cincinnati CONF

VALLAND1eHAM has been strongly urged to
withdraw his name from the Democratic
ticket, but that he refuses to yield and
says he viii not withdraw his name unless
a new convention is called and new nomin-
atoms made.
From present appearances he stands no
more chance of being elected Governor of
Of Ohio than he does of being called
to the throne of F. ance The excitement
which attended his illegal arrests, trial

The Militia and tie Government


Upon n? subject is there more misap-
prehension than upon the direct authority
OF the Federal Government to call out
and command the militia of the several
States. There is an impression, and it is
encouraged by demagogues who ought to
know better, that the militia of the sew
eral States can only be called out by State
authority. TAis is not the law. The
New York World, a bold and fearless
Democratic journal, thus concisely ex-
poses the fallacy of that position. Itsays:
A correspondent, whose letter indicates
more natural intelligence and d:scrimna-
ton than legal reading, sends us an argu-
mentative communication, in which he
calls in question the statement in recent
article in the World, that "the President
may order any designated body of militia,
large or small, into the field; he is not
obliged to send his requistion to a Gov
ernor, or to ask the consent of Governor.
He may send his or,lers directly to Gen.
eral OF division, to Colonel, or to Cap
tain, and in every instance his orders
must be obeyed, at the peril of punish
ment by court-martial, by officers and
men,"
We deem it unnecessary to print the
argument of our correspondent against
the correctness Of this exposition of the
constitutional power of the President.
for the simple reason that the position
against which he reasons has been affirmed
by the Supreme Court of the United
States, the only expounder of the consti-
tuition, which can authoritatively settle it's
meaning. The constitution means, prac-
tically, what the Supreme Court declares
it to mean; inasmuch as there is no power
which can reverse the decisions of that
tribunal except itself The question of the
power of the President over the militia
was raised by the Governors of several of
the New England States during the last
war with Great Britain, those Governors
taking ground very similar to that con-
tended for by our correspondent. The
Supreme Court of Massachusetts, gave an
elaborate opinion on the subject, in which
they denied the constitutionality of the
power claimed for the President. The
question afterwards came before the Su
preme Court of the United States, which
gave that construct on of his powers to
which our correspondent takes exception.
Ii he will look into the first volume of
Kent's Commentaries, in the chapter en-
titled Judicial Constructions of the
Powers of Congress" he will find a sue
cinct but very clear and satisfactory ac-
count of this controversy, and the refer
ences will direct him to the original au-
thorities. We conceive that we render our
correspondent a greater service by thus
putting him on the track of investigation
than we should by publishing his article.
