FREE SOIL NATIONAL CONVENTION.

Samuel Lewis of Cincinnati, Chairman of the
National Committee TO agree upon the time
and place for holding National Convention
having received numerous letters pressing m
early day for the meeting of said Convention
has issued Circular, in which he says:
"1'he place Of holding the Convention viii
be Pittsburg or Cleveland the determination
of the time for holding it only awaits the re-
ceipt of sundry letters from distant parts of thu
Union. Immediately on the reception of those
letters, formal Call for the Convention will
be sent forth.
Meanwhile, this note is written 10 suggest
TO the friends Of Freedom everywhere that they
should proceed to hold their State and District
Conventions, nominate Delegates and take all
the steps for securing full representation in
the National Convention, a. IL the Call were
already issued. ] know | shall be excused for
pressing these preparatory measures upon those
who are in favor Of that Convention, since al
such must see how important it il that no time
be lost. And take leave to suggest to all edit.
ors concurring in this measure that they should
keep the subject directly before their readers,
every week, until the Committees regular Call
shall have been received by them, and given n
conspicuous place in their columns And let
none of us ever forget that it is not particular
men, but great principles that will invoke the
support Of patriots.
The National Committee can, of course,
determine nothing more than the time and
place for the Convention. All beyond that will
very properly be left to the determination Of
the Delegates, when they shall have assembled.
Ii is therefore important that every STATE, and
every District in every State shall be fully rep
resented. And it is hoped that all who desire
10 promote the liberty, interest, and happiness
of the people, with the true glory of the Union,
will DO represented in that Convention

LIBERTY PROPAGANDIsM.
TO the Editor of the National Era

To the Editor Of the National Era.
am much pleased with the suggestion of
your Kentucky correspondent G. NJ La Bar
have frequently reyolvcd such schemes of ope-
ration in my own mind, and am happy to rec
ognise the same vein of thought in others His
plan of emancipating Texas is worthy of seri-
Gus consideration and the effort, if not wholly
successful, would not be much in vain since It
would be the means of disseminating liberal
principles among the poor white people of the
South, who, if they knew their true interests
and their inalenable right of free speech, would
become the most efficient and devoted cham
pions of universal freedom.
There is perhaps no better field for such an
enterprise, all things considered, than Texas.
The small handful of slaves in Texas are almost
exclusively confined to the sea shore, or to the
frontiers of Louisiana and Arkansas; while the
immense and fertile interior region is either a
wilderness or but sparsely peopled by the
poorer classes from Tennessee and other States
with some German settlements.
While the propagandists of Slavery are COM
passing heaven and earth to introduce Slavery
into California, a free State, it behooves the
friends of freedom to counter mine, by infusing
freedom into Texas The justice of such a
course will commend itself even to Southern
minds; and where is the Northerner whose
spirit is NO craven and whose face is 30 doughty
as to condemn it
The probability is, that the agitation Of
emancipation in the northern parts of Texas
would bring about a separation from the slave
region and the formation of one, two or three
free States.
Why cannot an organization be formed in
New York, whose object shall be to encourage
emigration to Texas, both from the North and
from Europe? For this purpose, agencies may
be established in New York Boston, and other
cities, and also in England, Germany, &c, the
object of which shall be to point out the in
ducements which the soil aud climate Of Texas
hold out to the emigrant
In conducting the discussion of Slavery on
Texan soil, care should be taken not unneces'
sarily to offend the prejudces and sentiments
of the people, which have been produced by
custom, acting upon successive generations
and are therefore for the most part honest
however erroneous.
The free press should be placed in the hands
of men who possess capacity, frmness, and
prudence-who will neither wantonly offend
public sentiment nor weakly yield to popular
clamor
Particular measures must Of course depend
upon the actual circumstances of the country,
which can be best judged Of by intelligent
minds on the spot.
If the friends of Liberty fold their arms, and
quietly see Slavery extended, while they do
nothing to arrest it--nothing but talk and la
ment--are they not Improbable servants ?
Let them carry the war into Africa lin Pick

THE QUEEN OF MAY.
BY ANNA II. PHILLIPi

Never morning smiled 80 gaily,
Mover skies such radiance wore.
Meier from bower and stream and woodlan
Such gladness beamed before
All the world is light and music,
And hear low voices say,
Never danced into the sunshine
So fair a Queen of May.
The wild rose and the jessamine
Arc twined about my hair,
And pale amid their leaves of green
The valley lilies fair
And soft against my happy brow
The dropping yiolets lean
A crown whose dewy beauty
Might grace the fairest queen
They smile TO see the gladness
That lightens ali my face,
They say l wear my coronal,
In truth, with royal grace
And they gaily bow before me,
And willing tribute pay
In the brightest OF the blossoms
That bless the sunny May
They may feel my heart is happy,
They may see my step is light,
But they know not lyhy my pulses
Beat less lightly yesternight--
They know not that the simple flower
wear within my breast,
Has a brighter and dearer bloom
Than glows in all the rest
They thought me all alone
When wandered down the lane
They knew not that the sunlight
On the path flung shadows twain
They did not hear the voice heard,
In low, sweet accents say:
Thou'rt ever crowned within my heart,
And max st it always May!

HARPER's Ferry, April 10, P. NJ
The waters in the Potomac and Shenandoah
continue to rage with increasing fury, carrying
down trees and timber in great abundance
The water is now within one foot of the floor
ing of the bridge, and is rising at the rate OF
one foot per hour. The general impression is
that the bridge will be carried off tonight
with the raging flood The trunk OF tree
struck the bridge this evening passing through
it and out at the top of the root.
At Back Greek the river is some eight or ten
feet over the railroad track.
At Cherry Run the water is also over the
track to the depth of some ten or twelve feet
The river has completely flooded the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Canal causing great damage.
