Another ..Natlonaln Party.

The political movements arc, becoming very
complicated. The third party at the North, the
Freesoil party, has made its first move-and
very strong one it has proved. Full reports
of the proceedings of the Massachusetts Free
soil convention, preliminary to the National
convention to be held at Pittsburg, show it to
have been a most threatening demonstration,
both as to numbers, policy and spirit. We
shall publish its proceedings tomorrow. The
crowd was 80 great that there was speaking
outside as we'll as inside at the City Hall, where
the convention was held. Among the outside
speakers were the Secretary of State, and other
eminent gentlemen.
A long series of resolutions was adopted,
approving of the National convention to be held
at Pittsburg; declaring Mr.. HALE the first. and
Senator CHASE the second choice for the Presi-
dency; adopting KossUTH's Intervention doc
trines; in favor Of internal improvements by
Congress; the abolition of slavery in the Dis
trct of Columbia, and an immediate repeal of
the fugitive slave law; denouncing slavery, and
the Democratic and Wing parties; declaring
the Freesoi party as the party of union, con-
stitutional law, of freedom and progress, and
opposed to sectionalism. secession or dsunion.
During the session of this convention allusion
was repeatedly made by the speakers to the
fact of the great increase Of numbers and power
on the part of this third party, since its last
trisi Of strength, when it cast 500 900 votes 70,
Van Baren. Large promises were made as to
how much better it soon could d. and all
seemed confident of their power of frustrating
the calculations of the two old parties. In
addition to this disturbing element, the Native
Americans, dropping the prefix, are attempting
to organize new party to act with the Union
party North and South for Mr.. WEBSTER, who
it 10 surmised, will not decline their nomination
1t styles itself now the American party, and
antagonizes with the Freesoilers.
So it seems the Wing and Democratic par
ties are not considered National" enough at
the North To meet the views of large bodies of
voters, while the Freesoers now boldly claim
. monopoly Of that patriotic qussf,,s and plant
themselves against slavery, sectionslisn, Sc
csssion or disunion."
We earnestly invite the intention of all re-.
Ascting men st the South to these movements

of the Freesoilers, whose organisation 10 more
compIete and effsc tual than That Of any other
party in the country-who have common pur-
pose and single one, and pursue 1t with per-
tnacity and consistency worthy Of better cause.
Vain is the attempt to delude ourselves or
others into the conviction that this agitation has
ceased, or that these difficulties are settled,
while such proofs as these come in thunder
tones upon our startled ears. Again, then, we
cry aloud to the citizens of the devoted South
not 20 hug so fatal delusion to their breasts,
Loaf they awaken only to the glare OF their own
burning dwellings. with the knife at their
throats. Again We call upon them to be as
active in defence as their foes are in assault.
To keep their sentinels watching on the outer
walls, so that they may know when and how
the enemy approaches. And so long as we
shall keep our watch here on the outposts, we
must still repeat the cry
Arise awake! or be forever fallen!

When midnight . dark and mournful eye
Looks on the earth, and . silver shower
Oflght il sweeping from the sky;
Away, away. upon its viswless wing
Through the dim and shadowy air
To the land Of dreams let thy spirit spring,
For mine will be wandering there.
A voicsless grief, wild mysterious spell.
A deep. Interchangeable regret
With a strange power upon my being FELL
Long, long, ago when first we met

Yet when gazed into thine eye
The strong waves of my spirit seemed to move,
And my young heart throbbed 1arf'dly
Too we'll | knew thou ne 'sr wouldst turn on me
More than a passing, transient thought,
While could cherish but one memory.
One dream, with thy dear image fraught.
Twas vain, and yet loved to gaze upon
Thy face so radiantly bright,
As flowers that turn at morning towaupe sun
And droop at eve beneath his light
But years fed on, and my young spirit grew
Too proud to mourn thee in despair,
And hushed the voice flove, though well knew,
Its echo still would linger there

A broken light in memory's urn

My heart, spark will sometimes burn.

To breathe thy name without sigh,

But when the hand OF sleep has prest
Upon thy brow, nay heart prays silently
That dreams Of me may haunt thy rest.
As pale star will send its timid beam
To sleep within ly's bell,
Oh! let my image wander as dream
Within thy slumbering soul to dwell.
Upon thy shining hair, thy broad bright brow,
Thy deep blue eyes, still may gaze,
(For oft we metz, nor do tremble now
When near thee as in other days.
But love for thee my bosom may not thrill
My life is quiet, and my heart is cam,
Though memories Of the past are breathing still
Around me like heavenly balm.
When first dashed thine image from my heart,
GOODNESS on my spirit fell,
feeling that can never all depart,
Though long ago, hope sighed farewell"
Yet now, that radiant, sunny smile Of thine,
Still sheds brightness o 'er my soul
Zen as the Borealis lights that Irvine
Their splenders round the frozen pole.
IT'S strange, that in my sleep thy voice so clear
in murmured accents deep and low,
Thrills forth the burning words pinned to herar,
When first loved thee long ago.
That time has past, and that spell is riven,
Yet when the night winds sing to thee,
My spirit shall come on the breath Of heaven

W A new political movement is foreshs
dowed in some of the Northern and Southern
Wing and "Union" papers, favorable to Mr.
WEBSTER. Tho New York Mirror SAYS:
AN IMPORTANT MovEMENT-We are in Dos
session Of numerous communications from all
parts and sections of the country, calling for the
meeting of a national convention of Union men,
without distinction Of party, for the purpose Of
nominating Daniel Webster for the Presidency.
The United Order Of Americans have called
convention, to be held next week, with this
object in view. The friends of the movement
hope to throw the election into the House,
where, they say, Daniel Webster will fare better
than in the Baltimore convention. New Eng.
land is moving in this direction; and in few
days we shall see some very decided develop.
ments towards the laying Of the foundation Of

WORTHY OF IMITATION National Intel.
lgencer chronicles the following instance of strict
and rigid honesty, which deserves to be unver-
sally known for the benefit of delinquent news
paper subscribers. 1t is melancholy truth that
there are thousands of men who occupy respect
able positions in society, who have not sufficient
moral honesty to pay for their newspapers-ihis
fact every man who has been connected with the
newspaper press will fully attest The Iatell-
gencer says:
"We have experienced in our time many in
stances of honorable dealing on the part Of
subscribers to our paper, but one has occurred
lately which evinces so large sense of justice
not merely even handed, but open handed jus
tice-that We cannot forbear giving it publicity.
Such an act would almost redeem the honor of
repudiating State, if such an anomaly in civil
cation still existed. We wish we felt at liberty
to give the name Of the conscientious individual.

The Rio Grande Troubles.
The Mobile Tribune says:

The MO0llo lTt0une says:
We published on Tuesday an account of the
execution of four men at Matamoras-men who
we're engaged, under Caravajsl, in the recent re-.
belon in that part of Mexico. To-day. we give
an account written by the American consul Ut
Matamoras.
OF the perfect right of the Mexicans to hang
or shoot these men there can be no doubt, for
in the eyes of the law they were outlaws, with
no claim on any country for protection. But
there is sometimes as much brutality in infict,
ing the penalties of laws as in violating them,
and we think that Gen. Avalos has earned the
right to be considered brute in his mode of
showing that he is "man of the law"
The consequence of this heartless act, as
described by our correspondent and the consul,
has been to embitter extremely the ill feeling
existing between the people on the opposite
sides Of the Rio Grande, AS the American
Flag at Brownsville says, Ga deep feeling Of
revenge now reigns, where course of mercy
would have planted those THAT of gratitude"
This feeling had grown to such an extremity
that, after the execution, Avalos was shot and
burned in the effigy on the American side Of
the river, in full view of the garrison at Mata
mOras.
There is now so rampant epirit of aggres
sion abroad that probably great severity, under
humane and fixed principles, will be considered
among prudent men as essential to the peace of
society but no provocation can justify conduct
80 cruel as that of the Mexican general In a
political point of view, it is just as offensive to the
peace of the borders as it is to humanity.
Two of the men executed were Mexicans and
two Americans. The latter were named
George Williams and Rob't. Mcdonald.

run a man whom the people did not want, who
had not built up name that commended itself
to the American people; who had no hold upon
their affections. 1t was, therefore, necessary to
get party conformity by means of Baltimore
machinery. Its very object was to defeat the
popular will. That was the first national party
convention that ever met in this country. 1t
