stTHE (BLooMER) FAsHIoNs FOR 552-3.
Mrs. BIoomer--who must be the bcs'
authority in he world--publishes the
following imporiant Information relative
10. the Bloomer fashions for the season.
in the last number Of Lily, very pretty
little monthly quario, edited and pub.
lished by her al Seneca Falls: q
We have several letters Of inquiry
about the style Of making the short dress,
and also what style Of hat is to be worn
the coming winter. 10
II is lille perpleaing TO US 10 answer
such questions, for we know very lple
about fashions, nnd I'VE do not wish 10 sci
oufself up as pattern for o,hets. We
are not aware that there isany particular
a,yle for making the short dress, Of any
new fashion for il. AT least we have
none, but make ours Just 10 suit our own
fancy and comfort. and we hope others
will do the SINE. We believe our dress
does not differ materially from those worn
BY others, except in the length Of the
skirt and bodice, and in our giving "nrself
room to breathe freely, and depending on
our own muscles instead Of whale bones
for support. And this we consider all
important, whether the skirt be long or
short. Another important consideration
which we urge uppn our lady readers is
the supporting Of under skirts by elastic
sdspenders (ihe same as those worn by
men, and worn in the same manner)
instead of letting them rest upon the
hips. They are perfectly easy, and far
preferablei 10 ''straps." We are happy 10
know that they are now worn to a CON
siderable extent, snd they will be gen
orally adopted when their Advantage be-
comes known. 8pai
Tile pretiiesi style Of cloak for the
short dress is a full circle, or Spanish
cloak. The socque looks veil, and is
very convenient, as ii leaves the arms
free. J'H2s .e ,S4 sns fa %

wishing Ieaver hats can obtain them by

To The Editor of the National Era:
Notwithstanding the strenuous exertions of
the South, aided by its Northern allies and the
gag resolutions Of the two Baltimore Conven-
tons, to put down agitation on the subject Of
the Compromise measures, the people here will
agltate and the more strenuous the excrtions
OF the Slave Power to suppress it, the more
spirited and determined is the agitation of the
people. They have got sort of notion that
because they are interested in the administra-
ton OF the Government of which they are
members and supporters, and in the nature of
the laws by which they are to be governed,
and that they, with the whole people, are indi-
vldually responsible for the character of that
Government, they have right to discuss the
merits OF every enactment Of its legislators ;
that they have n right to investigate the con-
duct 81 the men whom they appoint as their
representatives in their National Council and
they mean to maintain and exercise these rights.
Thousands Of those whose eyes were not al
ready open, when they see their leaders trying
to cover up their iniquities by endeavoriDg to
suppress investigation, mistrust that all is not
right; and after the people have got their eyes
open under such circumstances they don't feel
inclined quietly to shut 'em up" at the re-
quest or command Of any Convention Thou
sands now begin to see that they have been in
suited that the Constitution is trampled upon
by unholy feet that justice and humanity are
outraged, and their country disgraoed 10 the
eyes OF nations and in the sight of the great
Supreme Ruler; and an attempt 10 prevent
their passing sentence upon an act 80 revolving
to their feelings 10 repugnant to every princi-
pie Of justice, humanity, and religion, as the
Fugitive Slave Law, is worse than folly-is
madness
Ii was at the cost Of years Of innumerable
hardships and selEdenial, rivers of blood, and
Of precious lives, that our forefathers
established the right Of independent thought
and free speech. Will their sons now basely
surrender their inheritance NEvER! The |
Compromise parties are Fastening their own
downfall; the knife which they have prepared
or our threats will pierce their own yitsls. 1t

To the Editor of the National Era.
A word from the heart of the old Common
wealth, the home of Charles Alien. NAV not
be uninteresting TO the numerous readers of
the Era Ii was here that the first great move.
ment was made in 1S4S: it is here that the
fires of Freedom are burning still.
The Free Democratic party of Massuchu-
sets never entered a campaign under such
suspicious circumstances as they do at the
present time. AT the last Presidential election.
the Wing party under the banner of Tdulor.
| Fillmore, and Free SOIL succeeded in obtain
| ing the electoral vote of the State but when
| Daniel Webster committed suicide in the Sem
| ate of the United States. he struck a fatal
blow to the Wing party of Massachusetts,
and Charles Sumner now occupies the place
| of him who proved traitor in the hour of peril
Following in the footsteps of their great leader,
| they now repudiate all of their professed prin-
| ciples, a thousand times expressed and at
tempt to sustain their consistency before an
enlightened public; but their total defeat for
| the last two years seems to be but an omen of
IA more certain discontinue in the future
On the other hand, the Democratic party
| TO II great extent repudiate the Baltimore plat
| form, and refuse to support the nominees
| Some of our most prominent Democrats have
| announced their intention to vote for the can
| didates of the Independent Democracy, as the
only true Democratic ticket now before tho
country. Neither of the old parties manifesto
| the least enthusiasm in the support of cand
| dates and platforms so repugnant to the hearts
| and consciences of men.
Under these circumstances, the masses o.
the people are coming forward to the support
of Hale and Julian and it is confidently be
ieved that the electoral vote of the Old Bay
State will be given for Freedom in November
| next. O
The course of the Senate in refusing to hear
the speech of Mr. Sumner was regarded with
indignation by all classes of the community
yet it was but practical demons tration of the
principles of the Baltimore platforms. Never
theess, the friends of Mr.. Sumner had full
confidence in his integrity and ability and did
not for moment doubt but that he would
perform his duty we'll even in the Senate Of
the United States. But despite the efforts Of
an American Senate Mr.. Sumner has deliv
cred an unanswerable argument against tn,
most infamous law that ever disgraced the
statute book of this or any other country
Well did Mr.. Badger say, that it was the mos
extraordinary speech, both in time and matter
that the Senate ever listened to. The fact tina
the attempt was made to prevent MIR. Sumne
from speaking, will cause his speech to b.
read and circulated throughout the entir

To the Editor of the National Era
DEAR SIR: In this vicinity we have encour-
aging signs that many who have heretofore
been manacled by party ties, without much re-
gard to principle will cut loose, and vote for
Hale and Julian. All we want is, the speeches
of such champions of Freedom as Horace
Mann, Charles Sumner Durkee Giddngs, and
others, to be circulated freely, to make oonsid-
cradle inroads into the ranks of the old par
ties. The principal party hacks. whether Scott
men or Pierce men, studiously avoid all public
discussion with intelligent friends of freedom,
relative to their platforms of principle, but are
at work secretly with their folks, cautioning
them not to receive any papers or speeches
from the hands Of Abolitionists and Free
Sellers

whether any plans have been formed at Wash

some others Of the same faith and practice,

done! The harvest is abundant though the
time is short, and laborers, fear, are few.
We fear so too. Here in Washington things

who undertook to superntend the issuing of
documents for the Independent Democracy
were unsupported No funds were provided
and no sooner was the hour of adjournment
announced in Congress, than the Free Soil
members jumped on the cars and left the field
to their opponents. The result is, that What
