OLD PENNSYLVANIA AGAIN!
MEETING IN SUGAR Valley.

The Clinton County Democrat says on Saturday
last visited Sugar Valley, the Gibraltar OF De-
mocracy of This county, for the purpose OF assisting
in raising Hickory Pole in Logansville, dedicated
to Polk, Dallas Skunk and Democracy. We have
met with nothing in this campaign to crafty us hall
so much as this visit The kind welcome of the hon
farmers of that secluded region was well worth
meeting and the enthusiasm with which they lett
their seeding spend one day for the good old cause
gave assurance that Sugar Valley is still where she
has been every confession the side of the country
and the people.
A beautiful POLE measuring lS5 feet was raised in
front of Mr.. AcheDbauh's house, from the top OF
which proudly hoaed the stars and stripesa banner
bearing appropriate inscription, with the names of
our candidates attached TO it-and near the top
swung young hickory broom, that was made by the
yet vigorous hands of veteran Democrat OF IS,
who had suffered persecution in the "regn of terror,
fiom the federal emissaries of John Adams.
Upwards Of two hundred hard working farmers
attended the raising, and more enthus astic gather
ing never saw. When the pole was up-and a
beautiful pole il is-nlne hearty cheers were gwen,
and meeting of those IN attendance organized, by
appointing Adam Heller, President; Colonel Antho-
ny kleckner, M. Brumgart, ST., Colonel John Moor

mony to the services of the democratic ladies that
day, whose presence and smiles cheered us IN the
good work iii which we were engaged Their fair

hosp atty with which they entertained us all. Two
clever gentlemt n, better Democrats not to be
