More Pole RA1sINGs.-On Satyr-
day last, the Democrats and Republi-
cans assembled to raise y Douglas
pole. and when it was raised to an an
gle Of about twenty degrees, it broke
at the splice. All regretted the acct
dent, but at the suggestion of some
insane politician, three rousing cheers
were given for Lincoln. Cheers were
then given for Douglas and Johnson.
On the following Wednesday, the
Republicans were prepared to raise
their pole. Ten days work were ex-
pended to obtain, hew and plane it.
At considerable expense, a flag forty
Jour feet long, with streamers attach
ed tscenty secen feet long, was gotten
up by the ladies. A ''spread eagle
ten feet from tip to tip, and five feet
high with stars and shield, was a prom
inent attraction of the flag. Printed
by Cowcn & Eastman. The Re,ubli-
cans, too, had the misfortune to break
their pole but nothing daunted, they
procured a "snalcr edition" and set
'cr ~ amid Ieatening cheers. Mcssrs.
