Pole Raising at LoVetown.
MEssRs. EDITORS :.

NEssRs EDITORS -
Yesterday was a glos
rious day for old Halfmoon. Two Lincoln
and Hamlin Poles were raised-one at Love-
town and the other near Gatesburg. was
not present, but have the proceedings from
an eye witness.
The weather, which had been unfavorable
during the forenoon, cleared up and the rain
ceased falling. A procession from this place
accompanied by the Martial Band was in at,
tendance. After the Pole had been raised !,
the crowd gathered around the stard, and
Mr.. Brisbin was called on for speech. Mr..
Brisbin said he had been informed that the
Pole just erected was put up by new converts
to Republicanism. He congratulated these
men on their abandonment of so corrupt a
party as the Democracy had now became,
and believed that they would find the ways
of Republcanism the ways of pleasantness
and truth. lie then went into long argu~
ment, showing many reasons why men, who
were in favor of principle and right, could no
longer vots and act with the Democratic par
ty. After be had spoken nearly an hour, a
messenger arrived from the lower Pole, say
ing that quite a crowd was down there wait
ing very impatiently for the upper meeting
to adjourn, Mr.. Brisbin Immediately closed
his speech amid three times three, and the
whole body of men, except FIVE or six, pro-
ceeded with all speed to Riders, where the
other Pole was to be raised.
Poll Raising at Riders.
After some little delay, the Pole was got
up, and three times three given. Another
speech was demanded and Mr.. Brisbin again
took the stand, amid three cheers of the peo-
Pile. The crowd was now quite large, and a
number of ladies were in attendance. The
greatest enthusiasm prevailed, and notwith-
standing Mr.. Brisbin had spoken over an
hour the night before in the open air, and a
long time at the upper Pole, seemed now on
ly to be getting warmed up. Some one in
the crowd wanted to hear something about
the ragged children the Watchman talked Of
MIR. Brisbin said if our children were ragged
we all knew the reason why it was so-it
was the extravaganza and free trade policy
of the Democratic party that had put them
in rags, and unless we wrested the govern
ment from the hands of these men, the day
was not far distant when we would not have
much Yictuals to put inside of our childreE's
rags. (Cries of good, good, and three cheers
The rain now commenced falling, and Mr..
Brisbin concluded his speech, leaving his au,
dleHce in the best possible humor.

A citizen of Illinois whipped to Death in
Texas


The Chicago Press and Tribune has let
ter from Mr.. Frederick Amthar, who was
recently driven out of Texas On some friyc-
lous pretences. He gives the following ac-
count Of the horrible whipping of young
man at Henderson,. in that State, which re-
suited in death. He says:
"A A young man from Illinois, by the name
of Evans, came to Henderson, and while there
was incautious enough to say that he tho't
slavery was wrong. These statements, as
far as | heard them, he made in the mildest
manner, and that only when pressed into the
subject by the young men about town, am
satisfied that he never said or thought of
saying anything. except when conversation
on the subject was forced upon him. had
but a slight acquaintance with the young
map, but told him that ne ought not to al
low himself to be dragged into talking on the
topic. But he was not careful. In Deem
Der last, this young man was taken out by a
mob, without trial of any kind and whip
ped to death. The Henderson New Era, a
paper published in Henderson, justified the
infamous murder. on the ground that Evans
was a common thief. an Aboliiionist, &c. l
was shown the whip which was informed
had been the instrument of his death. 1t
was covered with blood | also saw what
was informed was the dead body of Evans,
about three quarters of "a miles from town.
1t was so decayed and swollen that did not
recognize it. The hogs and buzzards were
eating it. 1t had never been buried !"
