the insecurity of the county buildings at Perrys-

EIoquence of LiucoIn.

Speaking of ABRAHAM LISooLN's Grafton
al The conservation OF the burial ground al
Gettysourg, the Westminster RevieW for
last month says;
il has but one equal, in that pronounced
upon those who fell during the FIRST year
OF the Peloponnesian war, and in one re
spect it is superior to that great speech.
IL is not only more natural, fuller of feeling,
more pathetic, but we know with absolute
certainty that it was really delivered.
Nature here fairly takes precedence of art,
even though it be the art of Thucydides.

They are favorably disposed towards such

They are willing, therefore, to cooperate

The CONVENTION CALLED TOGETHER.-We
are informed, upon what must be regard
ed as excellent authority, that the secre.
tary of the convention Of 1854, yesterday
notified the members Of that famous body
to assemble to-day in the Senate Cham
Der, or some other room in the Mechanics
Institute building, for consultation and
deliberation. Not being sufficiently in
the confidence Of the members to learn
the special object of the gathering, We
can only report as q rumor that this is
but a preliminary meeting for the purpose
Of deciding upon the nature OF the call
that is to lie issued converting a regular
session OF the Conveniently. o. Times,
26M.
It would not astonish US if an attempt
should be made to r~esuscitate this ghostly
phantom of a Convention once more
There is something to be done and the
Convention must do it. The present State
Legislature won't " touch pitch and be
de6led" any worse than it is, but the Con-
vention don't stand upon trifles Of that
character. The Constitutional Amend
ment as proposed by the Radicals must
be put through, which, Of course will not
be done by the Legislature, and this the
Convention we'll know, but go through it
must, and the Convention rushes forth in
the magnanimity Of its spirit and is will
ing to do the job without fear Of conse
quences. Then will it be shouted from
one end of these United States and dis
United States to the other, Louisiana
has redeemed herself and nobly sustains
the dominant party Of the country
