From The Western Rssaue Chronicle,
what shall we do?
The Presidential election is now over, the ex-
element attendant upon p gcJ parties what little
there was, will abate, and lehargy in regard to the
vital Interests Of the country upon the peope.
Party asperitIes will be nssuaged; more friendly
feelings between individuals will PREVAIL reason
and right will be better able to find resting place
in the hearts of the masses The question then
recurs, what shall wo do! The principles then
we advocate are not for day, for Presi-
Dental election they are in their application
eternal-"r finaty." To carry them into practi-
cal operation we must labor to spread them before
the people during those seasons of calm when we
can have access to the public mind-when pre-
judce does not shut the door against reason. That
time is now, and ON this time forward.
| We desire, in 1856, to eject to The chief magiz-
tracy ct this nation, that noble sen Of Freedom,
that living embodiment of true principles, JoHN p.
| HALE, and to secure SO desirable result must
continue 10 '.ugitlte" until all men shall hear of
and adopt our principles. To secure this end lie
| Free Democratic papers must be widely circulated;
not only every Free S1er but every liberal m: n
ofwh4tever marty, should investigate principles,
scan action, and honestly determine what is
his duty in the groat warfare going on be-
tween Liberty and &iavcry.
The impoltance of wide circulation for tho
country papers, is not properly appreciated,
fear by oar friends. 1t is the mighty lever by
which local victor les are achieved; it is the con-
venient messenger tuat may be placed iu every
hamlet in the land. Without it there be
success. The documents should also be dssemi-
mated far and near that The people may all times
be impressed with the importance of uueeasng
activity in promoting The veal of mankind.
There are throughout the country many Free
Democratic organizations, that were expressly or
ganlzed to act upon the late election. Let these
organizations be continued for the next four years;
let occasional meetings be held. Have speeches;
hold discussions; any and every means to bring
intelligence in contact with the pubic mind
These organizations may be made sour,e of real
enjoy ment during the long winter evenings,
they will be of profit. At your meetings
for speeches discussions, be sure and have the
ladies' with you. Many Of them, indeed, have elo-
qucnt tongues, and f they could be prevailed upon
to overcome their n,idi:y, would speak eIoquently
}, for the oppressed. Bring as many Of them pos
sible into the service.
Private missionary scrrice is also an efrc'ive
means; and none more need missionary lahors than
+ those who so snnk in darkness TO be made

and in spirit of love ana philanthropy, eudeayor
