The First Stone.

The campaign has fairly set in. The
next President, whoever he may be-too
tar In the distance yet to be discerned-
has cast his shadow sufficiently before to
give notice of his coming. The whole
country is on the alert for the real pres
ence; and in some parts of it there are
great fears and tremblings lest he may be
the wrong personage-the man not of the
right stripe.
The hopes Of one Of the great parties
are yet conferred in Douglas. Somebody
has limited at Bell and Everett this
we suppose is intended for joke, nothing
more; and the other great party has put
forth Lincoln and Hamlin.

South-or the South, which holds the Dem
ocratic party in its grasp, as it does ne
groes in chains-have, by sundry oaths
and numerous threats, generally succeeded

backed the Republican party out of their
well-understood choice for Speaker, backed
them out of their clearly-defned prefer
ence for the Presidential nominee-for who
else but VIM. FL. Seward, the head, front,
and embodiment Of the Republican party,
