THE sCHLEsHIG-HOLsT CUES
TIOE.

The death Of King Frederick VII, Of Den
mark, which occurred on Nov. Is, 1863, has
brought on crisis INF the Scheswig Hostein
question.
The two duchies Of Schlesvig and Holstein have
never been integral parts of Denmark, but they
we're independent duchies, whose dukes happen
ed to be at the same time kings of Denmark. In
Denmark proper the crown of the monarchy Vas
transmissibls to females; in the two duchies the
Sale law prevailed, according to which the
crown can only descend TO heirs male. In con-
sequence of this difference of the law Of success
sion, the connection Of the t~o duchies with
Denmark had to cease with the death Of King
Frederick; the Prince of Augustenburg being
the lawful successor in the two duchies, and an
other relative in Denmark In order, however,
to secure the integrity Of the Danish monarchy,
conference Of the great powers of Europe held
al London in 1852, and in which Engaud.
France, Russia, Austria, Prussia aBd Sweden
took part, undertook to change the law of success
sion both in Denmark proper and 10 the duchies.
designating Prince Christian, tho father Of the
princess Of Wales aud fthe new king Of Greece.
as entitled TO succession for the whole monarchy.
On the death of King Frederick, the Prince OF
AuguStenburg claimed the succession in the two
ducbies, on the ground that the conference OF
London WAS not authorised to dispose Of bis
rights and the privileges of the people of the
two duchiss, - that neither the Diets Of
the duchies nor the Federal Diet Of Ger.
many bad given their consent to the protocol Of
$50, and il was therefore utterly invalid. The
claims of the prince we're at once recognized by
number Of the German princes, and sustained
by the German people generally.
The du.chy Of Holstein 10 eIclusively inhabited
BY Germans, and iss part Of the German Con
fsderacy. In Schlssvig about LAG, 500 inhAbi-
tants are speaking German, 5000 Friesisn,

4 NEW WAY OF EXPRESSING COS.
TEMPT.

There must have been . remarkable change
Of opinion in Bradford county, Pennsylvania,
within . few years Not long ago, when the
Bank Of Poustovn issued its Eve dollar notes,
James Buchanan was 90 popular there that bic
portrait vas engraved upon one corner Of the
bill, aud nobody thought of defacing it in the
remarkable styls that has prevailed since the be-
ginning Of the war. A banker, Who 10 q curios-
ity hunter. has shown Us bundle Of thirty eight
Of thsse Eve dollar notes, in twenty OF which
the word traitor is written across Buchanau's
forehead; in Others the letter 90 10 branded
on one the following words appear: ''Give him hs
deserts y; on an other 10 written "Ye ould devil,
and stl another bears this inscription " False
to his country and his God, but true to ths Dem
ocratic party" Some ingenious individuals, a.
ioss 10 express their contempt in words, re-
sort to symbols; one has drawn a Coppsrhsad
scaks, vrigglng 10 the mouth Of Buchanan,
another decoratss the head With . cap and bells,
and another encloses the neck within q moose
which is attached to . gibbeu. These curious
methods Of indicating contempt are not Of
very high order, but they show how Mr.. Bu-
chanan ia nov regarded in that part Of Pennsyl
vania in vhlch be was once 30 great . favori!e.

FREEDOM CONVENTION AT LOU
ISEILLE.

About 100 delegates were present at the
meeting at Louisville, on the 22d Of February,
from Kentucky. Missouri, Arkansas and Tennes-
see. The following resolutions we're adopted
ResoIred, First, that the unity of ihe country
with tho present republican form OF governments
State aud national, must be pretsrred and the
rebellion suppressed.
Second, that slavery was the cause and now
constitutes the strength of the rebslIion. That
We zee no hope Of permanent peace until the
priciples Of freedom are enuncated in the dec
.ration Of independence and the Federal con
stitution are carried into practice. The question
whether slavery is to be preserved Or not 10 No
longer exclusively State, but national one.
Its therefore proper that the constitution OF the
United States should be 60 amended 40 to Sc
cure freedom TO every human being within its
jurisdiction, such . condition OF ind vidual free
dom 10 a. necessary in the constitution Of the
United States as that of a republican form OF
government 10 each State.
Third, The government has the constitutional
right TO command the services of every man no
matter what color or condition, whether bond or
free. The master cannot interpose bis right be-
tween the man and she government, aud We are in
favor of enisting and enrolling all alike.
dent in the exercise Of the war power has full
and ample authority to free all the slaves in the
rebeous districts and they sre hereby invested
irreVocaby with all the rights Of fresmen, and in
tho present rebellion he ought TO exercise this
power 10 iss full extent.
Fifth, That with the effect Of the Presidents
amnesty proclamation before US, We declare that
in our opinion the same has been Injurious to the
Unisn cause, and its operations within the dis
trict TO which it especially applies, humiliating
aud unjust to loyal men, by placing them upon
the same footing with rebels, and We would urge
is recall or suspension until armed rebellion is
wholly crushed.
Sixth, That the Slave State Freedom Conven-
ton be permanent organization by the iorma-
zion of an executive committee of one member
and one alternate from each Of the slave States,
for the purpose OF carrying out its principles,
and that the delegation for each State represent
ed in this convention appoint the members Of
the convention.
Seventh, That We declare ourselves favorable
to such an amendment of the constitution OF the
United States, as shall make the Presidential
election tor one term only.

Radical Convention at ST. Louis May 10, SO in

vailed, principally on minor points.
