ENocH, August 10, 1874.

Mr.. MORRIS Frequent occurrences have
transpired on Duck Creek, which, had / been
skilful writer, should have noticed. | have con-
cluded to give you the details of one On Friday
last, received message from young democrat
the town of Olive in Morgan county, inform
ing me, that there to be some political speech
es made there on the next evening, and requesting
my attendance. l went and found the bone and
sinew that vicinity busily engaged in preparing
to raise a young hickory pole upwards of l0Ofeet
in height on which was incribed the American
Eagle, and the names of"J K. Polk, Dallas, and
Tod, and the Annexation of Texas" 1t is well
known that the democracy have been considered
comparatively weak in that vicinity, and it had
been intimated by the wings, that the democrats
could not muster sufficient strength toraise pole
When the pole had been raised to the top OF the
fork on which rested skid, young man by the
name OF Joshua Crooks, assembled for the purpose
of better adjusting the ropes &C., when one of the
prongs of the fork gave way and down came the
pole, Crooks and all. He lit upon his feet without
receiving any injury worth naming. His friend,
l.. Smoot who was at the butt end the pole with
lever to hold it down, and forgetting himself in
his anxiety for Crooks, found himself when the
pole fell going in the direction of the good world.
But democrats never falter; although defeat may
for while stare them in the face, yet they will al
ways triumph. A more substantial fork was pro-
cured; and the top of the pole having been frac-
tured; young lad mounted fleet poney, and re-
turned in short time, with cane some Is feet
long, said to be of the Tennessee species. All is
well, and the pole is raised in triumph Although
this little meeting was got up without notice, and
was consequently small, yet it says great deal. 1t
raised the first hickory pole in the township OF
Olive. Icounted upwards of 80 voters in the pro-
cession, while myself and number of democrats
stood by | could not help observing the contrast
between the old proprietor of the village and his
son. While the countenance and age of the for
mer bespoke that he was tending TO the narrow
limits of the "Clay;" his son (n front Of whose
house the pole was erected,) is extending his phi
lanthropy to his brethren in Texas and Oregon
This meeting was not composed merely OF youths;
but as have said, of the bone and sinew of the
vicinity; among whom were the Davises, the CIy-
mers, the McKees, the Caldwells, the Wieys,
SC sc. Mr.. Dye, candidate for Representative,
and Mr.. Petit, candidate for Auditor, addressed
the meeting. All retired well pleased.
Yours Respectfully.

Judge Harper, in his speech here, gave the whig
ladies OF this place, some good advice, as he sup
posed. But we have the satisfaction of knowing,
that we have as good and pretty girls among the
democrats; VINO are determined TO labor for the
right cause; who oppose gambling. profanity and
duelling, and go for a,neration

0cs-Ithas been frequently charged that Thomas
Ewing, in Somerset, in 1886, said, that "he called
upon his God to witness that he never directly or
indirectly speculaed in scrip to the amount of one
cent" Mr.. Ewing denies ever having said so.
He alleges that the expression used in relation
to the entry of Governmentlands, of which he had
never entered any. 1t is certainly very strange
that MIR. Ewing should so strenuously deny ever
having entered any Congress lands, when, as we
believe, he was never charged with so dong. No
man would be SO foolish as to charge another with
having entered Congress lands, and expect thereby
to fasten upon him the commission of crime.
Mr.. Ewing's statements are not very reconcable

DlSUNION! DISUNION!!

Mr.. Clay has written letter about
Texas. He was applid to by one OF
his Alabama par!isans (mark the loca-
tion) to know what he meant by say
ing that he was 'opposed TO annexa-
ton, so long as any considerable and
respectable portion of the confederacy
opposed it," The following is his an
swer in full:

"MY DEAR SIR: ] received, and
thank you for your friendly letter, and
the copy of the Monitor. You have
justly conceived my meaning when l
referred, in my Texas letter, to con-
siderable and respectable portion of the
confederacy; and you might have
strengthened your construction of the
by reference to the fact
that, al the date of my letter, the States
of Ohio, Vermont, and Massachusetts,
had almost unanimously declared q.
galnst annexation, the legislature of
Georgia has declined to recommend il,
and other states were believed TO be
adverse to the measure. As to the
idea OF my courting the abolitionists,

THE ELECTIONS.

Every thing SO far in the elections is cheering for
the democracy.
KENTUCKY.
The whg majority in this State, we believe, will
not reach over 5000 votes. This is gain Of about
81 900 since 1910, for democracy.
ILLINOIS.
The democratic majority in this State is over
IL, 900; being gain ofsome or 10000 on the
vote of 1910, for the democrats.
MISSOURI
A letter to the editor of the Globe says, that the
democratic majority on joint ballot in the legisla-
ture will be about 20. The democratic candidate
for Governor, Edwards, is elected by about 5000
majority.
INDIANA.
The Senate is tie. The wings have the House
by or majority. The democrats have the pop
uar vote.
IOWA.
An election has Just been held for delegates to
form State Constitution. The reports SO far in
dicate about two or three democrats to one whig.
NORTH CAROLINA,
This State has given very reduced majority for
the whig candidate for Governor. Mr.. Graham,
the Governor elect voted against the passage ofthe
late Bankrupt law, against the present tariff, and is
in favor of the Annexation of Texas Certainly
this Is great triumph for the wings.

In this State the democrats have swept every
thing before them.
The Old School Republican puts the following

PRIZE PANNERS

The young ladies Of Woodstield, make the fol-
loving proposition to the democra ats of the several
townships of this county: To that township which
gives the largest majority for the Hon. DAVID
TOD, the democratic candidate for Governor, in
proportion to the number of votes poed, they will
present beautiful prize Banner, with appropriate
Inscriptions
The young men Of this place, also propose to
present prize Banner to that township which
gives the largest majority, in proportion to the num-
ber of votes polled, for POLK and DALLAS, at
the coming November election. With this under
standing-that the township which wins the Ban
ner to be presented by the young ladies, is not to
enter the contest for the banner to be presented by
the young men.
This contest will be close one as there are sev-
townships which may justly enter the field.

SOLITUDE EWING.

This great pop-gun of Ohio whggery, took oc-
cason to pronounce the article in our paper OF Au-
gust End, as base forgery The abstract from the
Report of Mr. Forward, as we published it, was
copied by us from the Ohio Statesman, and was,
in the Statesman credited to the Globe. This alb.
stract has been time and again. published by demo-
cratic papers, and this is the first time we ever heard
that it was pronounced forgery by Mr.. Ewing.
The Globe says after publishing the abstract which
we copied from the Statesman, "we may have o.
mitted some of the entries in the names of Ewing
and Stanbeny, but we know that we have given
none that are not contained In the report" Now
for our part, we would sooner take the word of
disinterested than an interested man. We verify
believe that Ewing is guilty in manner and form as
he stands charged in our paper. Why did he fume
and rage as he did' The shoe fit--the galded jade
WINGED. Any one would have supposed, had he
not kno wn who was speaking, that it was Ewing's
first effort at stumping, from the agitation depicted
in his department. The crowd was reminded of
a school boys first efforts He denied that he had
stole horse, but plead guilty as to the sheep. He
said that he had never purchased but eleven land
scrip claims, four of which he purchased of Henry
Clay!!! Ho! Ho! Stand up Henry Clay What,
you have been specializing eff of widows and or
phans too, have your Well that will do pretty

think Mr.. Clay can do no wrong; consequently if
