To The Editor Of The National Era:
SIR: see some of the friends of Liberty are
talking Of organizing again. ! have thought for
some time it was strange there was not some move
in that direction. The necessity for such action
Immediately must be apparent to every friend Of
humanity. We have but little to expect from the
two main parties, most of their leaders being sold
to slavery. That there are many in both, friends
to Freedom there can be no doubt; We very often
hear them say that their last vote has been cast
for slavery But how can they be brought to-
gether without an efficient organization, and that
of a national character. As there will be differ
ent plans proposed, | thought of offering one.
Say call National Convention at some central
place next August or September Then every
Congressional district call Convention, and ap-
point delegate to attend said National Conven-
ton When convened, agree on platform Of
principles to be the basis of the party. Then let
the States call Conventions, ratify the National
Convention, and make their State nominations
for the fall of ~, where they have State ticket
District Conventions would be naturally attended
to- Then, to bring the matter home to apractical
affair, say the town committees have book,
with the declaration Of principles written in it.
Then record our names with our principles, and
stick by our organization for long pull, strong
pull and pull altogether, till the black flag Of
slavery is buried without hope Of a resurrection
Don't let us differ as to modes Of acton-strke
the blow somewhere. Yours, with respect,
SUBSCrIRER

Ono AND MISSISSIPPI RAMRoAD.-The organ
izstion of the western branch Of the Ohio and
Mississippi railroad according 10 the charters Of
Illinois and Missouri, was to take place on Sat
urdny last at st. Louis. The Cincinnati Gazette
says:
The prospect is that the city of st. Louis,
in its corporate capacity, will subscribe $500 900,
and that large private subscriptions will immedi-
ately be made. Books will be opened in this city
for further private subscriptions We also learn
that large amounts will be obtained along the
route There has been great change in public
opinion since the charters have been obtained for
the great line of railroad, all the way from Balt-
more, Maryland, to the western limits of Missouri
This line Of railroad does not vary over fifteen
miles from straight line from Baltimore to Mis-
souri,, and its completion will make Cincinnati

ORGANIZATION.

| Boston, March Is, 1851.
| To the Editor of the National Era:
| have read with much anxiety your own and
your Cincinnati correspondents articles on the
present state of our cause in the country, and on
| the adoption of the modes of operation proposed.
Universal dpathy has seemed to me to prevail In
this part of the Union, in the cause of Freedom,
for more than year believe that Pafrey might
have been elected long since, had we appealed to
the people as we might We could do It now /;
but agitation among the people seems to be aban-
doned The meetings and conventions OF the old
Liberty party are apparently forgotten Indeed
not only does that party, as an organization, seem
| TO have become extinct, but the very spirit that
| burned in them seems TO have vanished, and the
men themselves TO have been buried. Yet, after
! all, be assured, it only seems to be So The
| spirit of Liberty may be quenched for season,
but its quickening fire is the expansive, all-per
vading, and immortal spirit of the everything
God, whose will alone can start its mighty throb-
bings if tauh enough cannot be found in man to
do it, Here is our milestone We lack faVh. | do
not mean that false faith which deludes man with
the idea that God will take care Of his cause in
his own good time, though we stand still and look
on lis good time for every good work is al
ways NOW Ills chosen, his only agents are MAN
KIND. The work is ours-the time is NOW. We
must have infinite faith in the absolute suprema-
cy of good and true cause, to work for it, Action
is the only possible justification Of fath-and i'm
mediate action. And when we have faith enough
for action, and have begun to work in earnest,
then, and not till then, may we have faith in the
appreciation and cooperation of God.
The Cincinnati letters and your comments
have led me to write. | am astonished at the
suggestion to assume the name of Democracy. That
the leaders, the demagogues, of both the Wing
and Democratic parties, have abandoned them
selves to the most thorough conviction of the utter
futility Of sustaining their parties without the
| patronage of the Slave Power, ia proclaimed in
thunders, from one end of the Union to the other
| This has been the Democratic policy for years,
and is the great secret Of their almost invariable
success since the Presidency of Adams 1t has
given the Wing party the present administration
| of Government, ana it is their only forlorn hope
| Of its tenure. Behold the Democratic party in
Massachusetts, openly renouncing triumphal
conquest of the State Government for " Nation
atty" which means nothing but the good will of
that sectional despOtism which Yields undsputed
empire both the great parties of the country.
Our appeal is to the people in behalf Of ertm.
gRisLed LbcHy, and our organization MUST RE
SEPARATE. Yours earnestly, F. L. CArEN

ton Of the public to this much improved article.
This Mattress is a late invention, and il is
confidently believed will be universally ac-
knowledged superior 10 any other Mattress or
bed now in use.
The peculiar improvement in the construction
of this Mattress is, that all the clumsy md henry
wooden ,trame rork Is entirely dispensed with,
and its place supplied by lighter and much
more durable frame. the springs are all connect
ed by harness leather hinges, securely rlvetted,
rendering it impossible for single spring To fall
down or get out Of place, and making Bed so
elastic that any part may he raised or bent up,
and is thus admirably fitted to the wants OF the
sick Or asthmatic who may require sitting pos
turr; it has all the luxurious so'tncss Of the best
Feather Bed with the lightncSs and facility OF
handling of the Common Hair Mattress.
These improved Spring Beds are Invariably
made of the best materials and will last many
years without repairs.
Persons having Hair Mattresses can have
them altered into Spring Beds

YESTERDAY saw the famous Mrs. BLooMER /;
