THE COMING CAMPAIGN.
From the Oneida TELEGRAPH

Several Free Democratic papers keep the
name of John p Hale at the head of their
columns, az the candidate for President in 1856.
And others manifest determination that he
shall then be elected to the Presidency. Now,
if we 60 to work with right hearty good will
IL can be done and will be Do not laugh, in
credulous Democrat or Wing. Just so you
laughed at the idea of electing Gerrit Saith
to Congress in defiance of the two great par
ties. And we confess to some incredulity of our
own, when the idea was first preached 10 US
But our faith grew as the contest proceeded
and we became confident we should give him
a majority of from 800 to ? 900, and we have
done it. Now, the election of John =. Hale, or
some other able and tried champion of our
principles, in 1856, is very far from being
among the impossibiities The Wing party is
defunct No one supposes that the incongru-
GUS elements which have united in the election
of Pierce, can hold together for four years.
The universal grabbing for the spoils, which
has already commenced, will drive all honest
men from the party, and we have but to pre-
sent an able representative of the principles of
Freedom and true Democracy, to attract all
such men to our standard MIR. Hale s now
more highly respected for his abilities, states
manship, and moral worth, than either of the
recent candidates of the other parties. Candid
men in those parties will admit his superiority.
Nothing but the conviction that the election of
Scott or Pierce was certain, has prevented hun
dreds of thousands from voting for Hale. That
reason for withholding votes from him will not
exist i'm 1856

THE FUTURE.
From the KenoSia Fis) Telegraph

From the KenoshG (IFH) Telegraph.
There will hereafter be but two parties. If
any doubt yet exists on tho question Pierces
Administration will make clear the fact that
the old issues which made the parties are not
now Issues before the country for his Admin
stration must IN virtue of tho power which
made it, devote itself to uphold maintain, and
psrpctnate Slavery. This plain fact must, in
present conditions, organize the whole people
into two parties-the party Of Slavery and that
OF Freedom. SCOTS success m ght have pro-
crastnated this issuo--Pierce's success will
bring it up AZ fast ~ his Administration can
develop itself Thank God for it. Let the war
como before the popular heart and conscience
havo been destroyed by insidious efforts and
we have no fear of the result We know not
whether the party of Freedom will be able to
understand itself and organize itself sufficient
ly to triumph in 1856 but we know that
manifest destiny which rules the world,
demands, however long the struggle may be
protracted, that Freedom must triumph So
looks the future to us, and 80 we think it will
be- We, then, who are already enlisted in the
army Of Freedom have only to stand firm, AZ
we shall. We know not, mt our present writing
whether our numbers are few or many, and it
matters not. Our principles are the principles
around which this army of Freedom must rally,
and with which it must conquer. To all, then,
who have faith in God and hope in Man, the
future must look bright For our part, We have
not n respondent thought. We to-day fling
our banner 10 the breeze, and however varied
may be its fortunes we know that, IA sure as
God lives, the principles it represents must ere
long govern this nation, and, sooner or later,
the world

Poor simple Caroline She had thought the
poem very good, partly because it was some

that wrote it; but she could not understand
her husbands admiration. How could he

those sweet verses of his own! Caroline liked
poetry-mOSt women do IL smooth measure

adopted that conviction az her own.

THE FUTURE.
From Tie OHIO Star.

And now for the future. What is to be ex-
pectcd, What in ~ be done
Setting inside party leaders the mass Of the
Wing party are imbued with patriotic, humane
sentiments, and want those sentiments carried
into efficient action. The same il also true Of
the mass Of the Democratic party. In short,
in the people we have confidence, They are
patriotio--they are imbued with sentiments OF
patriotism, humanity, freedom. Thor preju-
dices we know are strong, and their party
prejudices often oyer-master better consdera-
tons. Nevertheless, the people of all parties
at heart are honest and desire that to be done
which shall be the best for the whole. Never
theless, too much under the influence Of par
tisan, ofhce-loving leaders, they are quite too
liable TO view their duty AS through glass
darkly"
Having an abiding trust in God, having con-
fdence in tho people, We have large and
cheering hope for tho future. To the work
and to therssponsibilities Of that hopeful future,
lot all patriotic men now apply themselves.

THE FUTURE
From the Green

From the Green Uouaiqin Freeman.
In view of the present state OF affairs, then
1t Is more than ever incumbent on the friends
OF freedom to stand in their lot like men-to
porsevere in tho right and look with faith and
hope to the future. Their party was never be-
fore so purited-never before so strong-never
80 well organized and prepared for successful
action, and never before had the prospect of
80 great accessions Let them, then, march
straight ahead with their principles, turning
neither TO the right hand nor to the left for
temporary advantages, and not far distant can
can be the day. when they will be called a
third party no longer.

The Earthquake

Some very amusing scenes and surmises were
produced by the earthquake yesterday.
Two clerks in the Navy Department, whose
desks stood back to back, called out simultane
ously to each other What the devil are you
shaking the desk for !" and Don't shake IKE
desk so!' Each denied the allegation, and each
simultaneously stepped out to test the others
veracity. Finding the copmotion continued,
they concluded it was the work of spiritual rap
pers, and proceeded to call in counsel
The commotion in Winder's building was so
great that nearly all its inmates went shaking
into the streets-presentng there an appearance
not unlike that at country militia muster
One man came to the conclusion that it was
the effect Of clerks " shaking in their shoes !" in
view of expected changes on the first Of May
Another--who has hGbituated himself to mourn
over the "iniquities perpetrated in and about
the Capitol" till he can see no good in Sodom-
insists cit is warning to al good men to fee
from this sink of SIM and that another shock is
coming to swallow all"
An old negro, who formerly lived at ST. Do
mingo wondered " what de peoplcsw was so Harmed
for-'twan't no great shakes ut all !"

This occurrence is said to have happened little
nfter one o'clock, p. m We knew nothing Of it,
and can find few persons in the central or eastern
section of the city who experienced any sensation
from it. In the western section it was felt by
many, and especially in the Treasury Department
and Winder's and Corcoran's buildings. This is
accounted for in the Intelligencer by the very
obvious fact that the degree Of intensity of the
shock was proportionate to the elevation from
the ground--those in the upper stories feeling it
much more sensibly than those below Our tele-
graphic dispatches represent it as having been
felt through o large region Of country. "some
nine years ago 1--WE believe that is about the time
the Inteligencer says, "a shock of the same
kind was noticed by the occupants of the Urea
sury building, and which, though supposed by q
worthy citizen to be easily accounted for on q
very simple and commonplace hypothesis, proved
to be veritable earthquake, having been stimuli
taneousy observed for great distances south of
us, we think even in South America"

MOngrel Pnrtiea.

The Freesoil party can only have exist
ence at a time when dispute is pending respect
ing the admission of free or a slave State into
while the reserved rights of the States are threat
oned; the Native American party can only exist
at moment in which the question of naturaliza-
ton is practical issue before the country. The
Democratic and the Wing parties can always exist,
because they are founded upon questions affecting
the permanent and perpetual policy of the coun-
try. These parties are healthful to the govern
ment they preserve it in purity, and, without
their watchfulness extravaganza, profigacy, and
arrogant excusiyeness would arise. Collateral
issues are sometimes brought into these parties,
but always to their hurt, and emphaticaly so when
such issues tend to a separation upon sectional
grounds. The relation of the Democrats Of the
South to the Democrats Of the North and Of the
Wings of the South to the Wings of the North,
has in the most trying hours of the past
proved the only bond of cohesion between the
North and the South. Is that to be destroyed
now? Must we henceforth have Northern and
n Southern Wing party, and a Northern and
Southern Democratic party? If so, how long
will there be any identity between the different
sections of either party? Yet to this are we
tending. Questions that cannot affect us as
Wings or as Democrats are to be introduced, and
all who cannot assent to them are to be un-Whig-
ged or un-Democrated. This is a queer state of
things in national parties, truly-and especially
since the tests are not claimed to be Of practical
utility.
The COMPROMISE is unquestionaby a popular
cry upon which to rally, and politicians who have
seldom been in a majority may delight much in
thepresent opportunity; but there issuch thing
as party's having too much numerical strength
for its own welfare. If the terms Democrat and
Wig are to be relinquished for the more allurinl
cries of Union and Compromise, the oldpartes mus
perish; and if the Union continues to exist, Their
will be new rallying cry at every Presidentia
election, sometimes based upon political, some
times upon social, and sometimes upon religion
differences. Yet, as we yesterday remarked, tn
Wings and their candidate are prepared the.

When Congress and States number 81 each,
Let patriots look out, or there will be breach"
Now, at that early period the acquisition of
Louisiana could scarcely have been dreamed Of
and the widest visionary no more have supposed
that we should ever number thirty one States
