For the National Era.
AN APPEAL TO FREEMEN.

When great national interests are at stake,
and human freedom to be secured, it is of the
utmost Importance that every citizen, every
noble patriot, be found at his post, doing battle
for the right.
Such is the position of our country at pres
emit. Designing partisans and crafty Office
seekers are ready to betray the dearest inter
es.s of our glorious Uniou-gtortouS indeed, if
true to the principles of liberty she go loudly
proclaims, but Infamous if in the hour of her
peril she yield to the bold assumptions Of
tyranny and oppression.
But the spirit of liberty is still the guiding
principle in the heart of the American people,
What we need is, to combine this in action,
to lay aside mere party distinctions, and, in the
majesty of the nations honor, assert and main
tain the principles of liberty and manly indie
pendence, and thus secure for all coming time
the blessings of free and virtuous nation.
Let every true hearted statesman arise, and in
solid phalanx march to the rescue, and the foes
of freedom and humanity will fear and tremble
aad, in view of certain defeat will yield the con-
test, and with united voice will the shout of VIC
tory arise and the proclamation go forth
through the length and breadth of our land
that liberty has triumphed, and oppression bas
ceased. If we can judge by the signs of the
times and the demands of the age the time
has gone by in which political demagogues can
trifle with human liberties, and call it virtuous
action, or barter away the dearest rights of the
people for executive patronage, and say Eve
thought it would pay" A. d. w.

THE LEAvEN OF SLAVERY IN THE FREE

Tho Wing State Convention met at Sacra-
mento on the 25th of July and continued in
session two days. G. W. Bowie, formerly of
Maryland, was chosen as the candidate for
Congress from Northern California, and Cal
houn Berham for Southern California. There
are two sets of Democratic candidates in the
field, and therefore there seems to be no doubt
of the election of these gentlemen.
The Democratic Convention met at Sacra-
mento on the 9Th of July. There was great
confusion from the commencement-two chair
men and a double set of committees &C., hav-
ing been appointed. The Anti-E lectoDists, or
those opposed to the immediate election of a
United States Senator, nominated Gen ]. w.
Denver to Congress from Northern California,
and Philip Herbert from Southern. The Elec-
tionsts nominated Mr.. Latham and MIR. Nc

covered about twenty five mics from Port Or

TO A POET.
BY M. HEmpsrEAp.

In my solitudc's deep quiet,
From lifc's din apart,
have felt thy words like tear drops
Fall upon my heart.
Poet sister, thou hast earned thee,
From the world, name;
Mine is yet unwreathed, unwritten
On the scroll of fame.
Yet am not all defrauded
OF the poets lot;
Mine its yearnings, hopes, and sorrows,
And / murmur not.
Not for varied gifts of genius
Which havo made thee shine,
Net because thou art poet,
Turns my soul to thine;
But because of thy lifc's music,
1 have felt tone,
Prom its veriest heart-chord rivon,
Melt into my own.
And it noedeth mono to tell me
What has been thy fate:
Woman's heart is road of woman
Thou art desolatcl
Sorrow, ncrved and single-handed
On tho field of life,
Struggling with soul too human,
In the desperate strife!
