liza few days ago the Democrats of Covington, KY,
raised hickory pole, surmounted with beautiful flag
inscribed with the names of our candidates. Shortly
afterwards, thieving Wing, during the night-a
regular sneaking operaton-took down the flag,
the Scott banner up and then the ropes to
prevent its being hauled down. The Cincinnati Atlas
and other Wing papers of small cabre in that vicinity,
forthwith commenced growing the ercsl-
lent joke! The trick didn't win, however, among the
sterling Democracy of Covingtou. The pole
climbed the Pierce banner restored, the emblem
brought down, and stored away for its owners call.
The whole affair srikngly characteristic of Wing

More Deeency,

The Indiana Journal calls Gen. SAM. HoUsroN, the
Hero Of San Jacinto and the founder of the Texian Re-
public, ''The Big Drunk" The Journals for
doing this is that Gen. Houston may day be the
Democratic candidate for President By the way, the
Journal does know that such language is scurrous
and used by gentlemen. 1t is, therefore, in
small degree excusable, If ignorance is valid plea.
