merged into contemptible Abolitionism.—

We can now account for the great rush that

is being made by the Know Nothing partv throughout the State to the standard of Fillmore. When they started their secret Order they never dreamed that the black-

visaged emissaries of Gidding3 and Garri

son would invade their secluded haunts and

puah them from their stools. But such is the fact. The de03 of the Python are occupied by the Abolition boas. In this state

of affairs it behodves the Democracy to keep

a wary ere on the movements and gyrations of both these reptiles. The one adores

the negro and would place him on an

equality with the white man. The other

hates foreigners and would rob them of their political, civil and religious rights.—

The one seeks the amalgamation of the two races and the dissolution of the Republic.

The other tho destruction of the Constitution and a union of Church and State.—

They both have their harps of a thousand strings with which' to catch voters. The

one expresses a mortal fear of Catholicism, and predicts that unless every native born

American skulks around at the hour of mid

night, in cellars, garrets and out-houses,

the old Pope of Rome will overrun with fire

and sword the entire country. The other

plays a doleful requium on its harp of the miseries of the fat, greasy African of the

South they talk indignantly of southern

aggression, r.ever thinking to tell their hear

ers of the thousands of negroes they steal annually from their southern brethren.—

We shall now have two secret organizations

to contend against. In this county the

Abolition Order will be led and controlled by such politicians as Doctor Brown, Fish

er Doherty, Joseph Ensminger, John New

ell, John Dungan, Orlando Corey, Elijah

Brown, Joseph White, and Abraham Horner, who are all Abolitionisms of il Garri

son school. Who will be the leaders of the

Iv. N. Order, we are at present unable to say. James 'Wilson reveres Fillmore and

admires his platform, but the overshadow

ing influence of Abolitionism deters him

from taking a stand. Poor James, he has sought office lo these many years. Always

hoping against hope, he lus warred like Lucifer against the battlements of Democ

racy. What pily, that so much energy

and perseverance, worthy of a nobler cause,

should have been wasted in the fruitless

endeavor to throw down and destroy the

altars of Democracy.

doctrines of Know Nothingism and the extreme notions of Abolitionism. He remark

"League of Freedom" and of their secret

operations during the year 1854. There seems to be a marked inconsistency some

where, which wc should like to have the Doctor explain. The fact is, there was just

EARTHQUAKE IN SAN FRANCISCO

—INCIDENTS, ACCIDENTS, itc., &c. From the San Franci.*o Herald, Fob. 20th. The severest shock of earthquake ever experienced in this vicinity since the settlement of. California by the Americans,. Occurred on Friday,morning, at just 2.4 minutes past 5 o'clock. In this city and vicinity every building shook to its foundation, and. in some quarters the houses swayed to and fio like vessels in a sea. The inmates of every dwelling were-awabned, and in some instances were thrown from their bed, so violent was the shock. Many persons rushed into the streets, and hut that the circumstance of their sudden appearance was of a character to produce seusations of terror rather than merriment, the scene would have been ludicrous. The large hotels were depopulated instanter, and in the general rush articles of furniture were thrown down, occasioning noise which added considerably to the clatter and confusion caused-by the earthquake.

The horses tied in their stalls fairly shrieked with terror, and tried to break their halters. Indeed, everything animate and inanimate was more or less ffected by the rbock.—

A HARVEST FOR TIlCl'vES. t,

The old adage, "it is an ill wind that blows nobodv good,".was fullv ill.usirated to the boarders at the llasfet'te Hou.e.—I

them took up their quarte/s at other houses, arid upon re'iun.ifig to''their rooms an hour later, found that the time of their ab seence had been well improved by the thieves. Some dozen rooms had been robbed during this period.,

AMUSIXU MISTAKE.

A lady occupying room with her husband, situated in the'2nd'story front of the American Theatre building, was awakened suddenly by the shock, and under the im pression that robbers were breaking into the apartment, shouted loudly for assistance.

PLACES,

At the Mission the shock was verv "rent.

From all accounts the shod in Contra Costa was even more sevcsely felt than in this city. The destruction of window-glass at Oakland was quite fearful, very few houses escaping. Accounts from San Antonia, Alameda, and Clinton, are to the same effect.

Through Wells Fai-o Co's Messenger, we learn that the shock was very severe at San-Jose. The Clinton IIou-l building swayed like tlie bough of a tree in agale of wind, and decanters and crockery were dashed in fragments from thesh«dves. We have a similar account from S:nta Clara.

The shock was also felt at Aivarado, S.ocktou and Monteray.
