The Democratic cauldron is beginning tc
boil up pretty rapidly in this place. They

are trying TO make a considerable FUSS
They made fuss at their pole raising al

a fuss because exposed their endorsement o
McClain's conduct: and some of them ar,
even making fuss over "Paul's lost cpistl,

thought McClan's grog shop was the nearest
house to the poc-it is about fifty feet from
it-but there is n negro dwelling rather be-
tween McC!ains and the pole and nearer
thereto; and as the pole was not raised at
McllalnS, 1t must have been at the negro s.

real facts. Why, ! heard gentleman re-
mark the other day, that he rode into our
village at one end of it. and as he cntcrcd he
encountered Democratic pole with flag on
it right by Liquor Shop: he passed on down
the street and in the centre of the Town an
other flag flying in front of another Liquor
Shop, (thc Democratic II, adj quartcrs:) he
passed out at the otle: end Of the village and
there another Democratic pole with flag on
it, hard by an Irish grog Shop. Well. he

say it is with the editor, and at the service of
who ever may call; perhaps you intend that
invitation TO me. | ain not anxious to know
who Paul is. 1t might lessen the esteem

Democratic party: it certainly would for the
author; for | can have but little respect for
one who ndnlscs without cause in the use Of
such epithcts as liar" "yuu lie" &c, &c,
and therefore prefer not to know your name.
AS for me. have not csolism enough to sup.
pose that would receive any ccat by giving
my humble name to the public, and therefore
wish to remain unknown; not, however, from
any dread of the "hcavicr mctlle" Paul so
boastingly speaks of, as having in store for
me; for he says truly, when he SAYS: 81 can
not expect to gain any thing in a controversy
with him." | may get abuse, but that falls
harmless on the head of JESus.
