A ROMANTIC AFFAR-A Spanish boy, named
Joseph Edward Enc Pobalo has arrived at Wash
ington, in charge of Adams ~ Co.'S express. 1t
is said that about ten years ago, while bathing on
the coast near the city of Campeachy, Mexico,
he, with five other boys, was stolen by gang of
French pirates, who kept them four years, and
then sold them to merchantmen, who kept them
two years, took them to the city of New Orleans,
and there sold them to Louisiana planter for the
term of their minority. Their owner was about
to resell them to a shipmaster to make sailors of
them when the boy Pobalo made his escape, and
worked his way to Lafayette, Indiana where he
attracted the notice of gentleman who cores
ponded with the Mexican minister at Washing
ton regarding him. The minister became inter-
ested in the story of the boy, and wrote to have

A SociaDle Bear.

The following curious circumstance, which is
said to be true IN every particular, is related in
"Iloyd's scandinavian Adventures"
1.-Two women with four children were tending
their cattle at "A shealing far from home. 1t was
the duty of one of the women to tend the cattle
in the forest, whilst the other occupied herself
with household matters andi in looking after the
children. 1t so happened however, on the 23d
of last September, that whilst one of the women,
usual, watched the cattle, the other abseuted
herself for n short time on visit to neighbor,
leaving the children altogether 10 themselves
She had not been long away, before they per-
ceiyed two large brown animals, which they took
to be cows, on the outside of tho fence, border
ing the patch of pasture ground contiguous to
the hut. All children are curious and indifferent
to danger. Without considerations therefore,
they climbed over the fence, and made up to the
creatures. When the animals became aware of
the near approach of the children, the larger of
the two compelled the smaller to lie down at the
foot of n tall pine and then crouched by its side
as il to protect it from harm Whereupon, the
least of the children-that of two years of age
without hesitation, todded directly up to the ami
mails, and laid itself down likewise with its head
resting on the belly the larger one, humming
at the same time some nursey song, as if repos-
ing on its mothers lap! The other children re-
manned the while quiet spectators of the scene.
When. however the eldest had reflected little,
and had come to the conclusion that it was not n
COW, but n bear-as was the fact--the child was
toying with, she became sorey affrighted Mean
while the infant, who eouldn remain long in
the same position, presently rose from its hairy
couch, gathered some blue berries growing hard
by, and gave them to his bed-fellow, the bear,
Immediately eat them out of the babes handi
The child next plucked sprg from IA neighbor-
ing bush, and offered it to the beast, which bit il in
two, allowing the child to retain the one half"

Political Parties.

1t gives us no little pleasure to find
our own views in relation to the present
state of political affairs fully sustained
by so many of the ablest journals in
Vermont and elsewhere. We have
spoken independently and with freedom
and plainness What we said two months
ago, we find to be now the very general
sentiment, even among tho most conser-
vative Wing presses. Tho Boston Jour-
ndl--a paper of this class-says;
BY the adoption of that measure Tthc
Nebraska bill] all compromises arc
thrown to the winds. BY the adoption
Of that measure VIC are warned that no
compromise with Shareholders is binding.
ana it remains to be seen whether that
warning shall sound in our ears in vain
whether the opponents.-we will not
say of slavery, but-of the e1tenstom of
slavery. will waste their strcngth-will
continue to be Misunderstanding under
different banners, subject to the orders
ofpolitical demagogues, and aspirarts OF
all shades and stamps, who hope to ride
INTO power by such divisions, or wheth.
cr they will send thcir broken faith and
broken compacts, their party names aud
party banners, and unite under one ban
her in the cause of JUSTICE AND LIpER.
TY
Years ago Mr.. Webster recommended
the formation Of q new party, to be com.
posed of the conservative men Of all
parties-of those, in fact, everywhere
throughout the Union, who were willing
to stand by the compromises of 1850
who were opposed to war, conquest and
annoxation-who were willing to let the
slave States take care of slavery within
their own limits, but were determined to
resist its extension His advice fell on
unwilling cars--Whigs were 10th to aban.
don their party name, Free Sellers hoped
to prevail single handed, conservative
Democrats thought they would control
their own party-and thus, men holding
the same opinions have been kept apart
and defeated, by the sbrewd management
of the slave power, in alliance with few
aspiring politicians--led onby Pierce and
Dougas-from the free States. Had
MIR. Webstcr's advice been followed, and
that conservative party been then formed
We never should have heard of Ne
braska bill, or Of any other attempt on
the part of the slave States to violate
solemn compacts and compromises.
But the deed has been done. Northern
men stand unShdcLld-thcir quasi al.
lance with slavery and the slave power
is dissolved--they, at least, are once
more free And now, what use will they
make of their freedom This, to our
mind, is the great question of the day,
and a question that requires a prompt

Gay The Nebraska bill is too long
to be copied at length, nor would any
body care to read it through, if we
should. The Governors Of Nebraska
and Kansas have veto on the acts of
the Territorial Legislatures, and the
right of suffrage is vested in FREE
WHITES exclusively. That portion
which constitutes its chief infamy-to
gether with the " stump speech as
Benton calls it's comprised in the
following section, which since the com
mencement of the session, has under
gone as many changes of shape as the
tabled Proteus. AS finally passed and
approved by the President it reads:
SEC. 2. And be 1t further enacted,
That the Constitution and all
laws Of the United States which are
not locally inapplicablc, shall have the
same force and effect within the said
Territory of Nebraska as elsewhere

SCHOLARSHIPS AT TIE SoUTM-The
following amiable sentiments are from
tho Richmond { Ta) Examiner. We
put them upon record as a curious spec.
linen of the debauching effects of slavery
upon the morals of the South
"The south has for years been over
run with hordes ofilliterate, unprincipled
graduates of the Yankee free schools
tthose hotbeds of self-conceit and IL.
norance,} who bave, by dint of unblus6.
ing impudcnce. established themselves
In our midst So odious are
some of these 'itinera2 ignoramuses
to the people Of the South SO full of
abolitionism and concealed incendiarism
are many of this class so full of guile,
fraud and deceit, that the deliberate
shooting of one OF them down, in the
act of poisoning the mind of our slaves
or our children, We think, if regarded as
homicide at oil, should always be
deemed perfectly justifable ; and ace
imagine that The 7'ropricty Of shoot
ing an abolition schoOlmaster, uhen
caught tampering aOith our slarcs, has
~erer been questioned By any intelligent
Southern man This ice take 10 be
the uatrriften common iaw of tie
South. Werepeat that the
shooting Of itinerant abolition school
masters is frequently creditable and
laudable act, emitting respectable
Southern man TO at least, a seat in the
Legislature, or place in the Common
Council. The shooting of a
Southern man of education and talents,
professor and useful citizen, has pro.
duced just degree Of indignation, ex-
citsment and lawless exhibition Of yio-
lent feeling, which time does not appear
to diminish. But we regret to announce
that the shooting of a meddlesome New
England Abolition schoolinaste would
result in no such exhibition of popular
rage. The neighbors of the fortunate
marksmon might give him a barbecue
or run him for Congress, but beyond
that nothing would be done"

LlRERIA.-The rapid colonization Of
Liberia is one of the great marvcls Of
the age. one of the great triumphs of
civilization We think that no other
colony ever rose SO suddenly to power
aud mportancc 1t settles the question
of the ability of the African race to
form and maintain an organized society.
The philauthropst has every reason to
hope that the impetus which has been CIV
en- to civilization on the " estern shores
Of Africa will extend aud broaden till tho
West shall return to the East the debt
of centuries ago.
The government of Liberia has been
acknowledged and kindly dealt with by
the chief nations of Europe Our own
has steadily refused to hold official rela-
tions with the infant colony which tho
liberaity of our people has planted and
nourIshed. This is neither liberal nor just.
The same prejudice against color which
prevents our government from taking
the full advantage of the commerce of
Hayti is giving to other nations tho
growing trade of Liberia We are al
ieuatlus from us a people whose growing
importance will soon make itselffe in the
commercial world, and who are naturally
disposed to regard us with especial favor.
1t is a strange policy, strange enough in
regard to Hayti, but much stranger in
regard to Liberia, and those who hold
the government to it do not give their
reasons for it, or attempt to defend it

vention.


BosToN, Wednesday, May, 3l,1e5i.
The Free Soil State Convention as.
scmbled in Music Hall at III o'clock.
About two thousand persons were pres.
ont
F.W Bird of Walpolo called the meet.
ing to order.
Theophilus p. Chandler of Boston
was chosen President, with fifteen Vice.
Presidents During the afternoon. not
less than 5000 people were present, and
much enthusiasm prevailed
The Resolutions adopted are as fol-
lows
ReSoIced, That the Free Democracy
of Massachusetts,, in convention assem-.
bled: have no new principles to advance
and no old ones to recant. They are
not surprised at the lateat outrage cf the
slave power-the abolition of Freedom
in Kansas and Nebraska-because it on
ly fulfilled their oft-repeated predictions,
and illustrates tho soundness of their
views, the wisdom of their course and
the necessity of their organization.
ReSolUed, That in this crisis, when
Liberty seems doomed to utter destruc.
ton unless the whole North is rallied to
her defence, the Free Democracy are
willing to relinquish all party considera.
tons and to forget all past hostilities !;
and to disregard all minor differences !;
to sacrifice everything but their princi-
pies, in order to secure an cflectual un-
ion of true men against the mighty con-
spiracy of Shareholders and doughfaces
that now threatens to overthrow the
peace, the honor aud the free institutions
of the country.
Rcsolced, That so much of the Kan.
sas and Nebraska acts as abrogatos the
Missouri Compromise must be repealed.
Rcso(red. That Slavery in the Dis
trict Of Columbia must be abolished.
Rcso(red, That Slavery must be pro-
hibited in all the Territories of the
United States, both in those to be ac
CURED aud in those already established.
Rcso(ccd, That all new States must
be free States.
Rcso(red, That Cuba. if it come, in
to the Union, must come in free
Resolrea, That the independence of
llayti must be acknowledged
RtsoIred, That the rights of our col
ored citzcus going to other States must
be protected
Reso(red, That every man has a right
himself, and therefore 10 man can own
another man
Resolrei, That the Fugitive Slave
bill is destitute of every attribute of
OF justice or humanity is at war with
the spirit Of liberty, with the principles
Of law, with the purposes of the Con-
stitution, with the best feelings Of
inankind,and ought to be at once and for
ever repealed
ReSolrcd, That Massachusetts, has
the Constitutional right, and it is her
imperative duty, to enact laws which
shall protect the personal freedom of a Il
her citizens, and secure the right to trial
by jury under all circumstances involv-
ing the question human liberty
