About that are Duglis pole Raising
I'm StringtOwn.
Mr. EDIToR.-I ben a good dimocrat of
the dickson school, herin that thar was go
in to De Duglis pole raisin in Stringtown
last Saturday afternoon at o'clock pre-
sizely, and after the pole raisin was over the
iHustrus Jemes would be thar to enlighten
the natives in regard to sum of the dark
pints in Duglis histry, l thot I must 60 and
help EN- rase the pole and hear the speech,
seein that l was good dimocrat and blu a
good deal bothered about some things them
are tarnation Black Republicans say about
Duglis. Such as his sain just few days
before he got up that Nebraska bill and
while he was gittin it up that the Missouri
Comprimise orter not to be tuched and then
turnin right round and hitin 1t the faLst dig
hisself and about that cat cuvered up in the
meal, or lions paw with glove on, at the
tale eend of that Nebraska bill; and then
about a speech he made in Orleans and
about letter he rote and had published in
Harper's Magazine and about his standin
and lookin on through all the trubles in
Kansas, and never xsain one word marry
ADOul IL uuLlI ue iOuuu ludE WAS pOllLl-
cal hemp groin out in Ellinoy for him,
which some of EN- sed was what forced him
to vote against that critter they called Lee
compton; and then about his turnin right
round and votin for Bill Inglishs bill what
sed to the pepel of Kansas, you may come
under Uncil Sans protection now if you'll
come under with 40 600 humans, with Le-
compton, as a Slave State, but if you won't,
you shan't come till you have 90, 900 hu-
mans Wall now Mr.. Iditor I've went on
with long ligamaroe here, just to let you
kno what took me to that are pole rasin in
Stripgtown, and now for the pole raisin-
Wall, as | was sain, it was to be at 2 O'Clock,
accordinly, was on hands zactly at the
time, or a mighty few minutes after, and
don't you think thar was only two or three
Duglas men on the ground, and three or four
of them kind of men that him, what's our
Sheriff (whar all our committees goes to git
''instTucted') J, call as black as the hinges OF
hell or South Carliny, the nearest seaport to
that tother place. Now, Mr.. Iditor, be-
for go any further jist want to say to
you that, in telling about this pole raisin,
bsint agoin to do like that Benjamin Frank
lin, him what signed himself Center mot
him what signed the declaration of indepen-
dence) done about that Black Republican
pole raisin tother day, for although I'm a
dimocrat | like 10 see the fair thing, and
say and every man what was there will say
that Us Duglis men what few of US was thar
never tuched hand TO that pole for fear it
might have some charm about il and turn
Us all to Abolishunists, and altho'Fm a dim
ocrat I'm bound in honor to say that thar
was not one word of truth in his whole arti-
kel about this pole rasin. I'm goin TO tell
you the truth near as know how. Well
to go back whar | left off, purity soon the
faithful (what few there is in these parts1
begun to come in to the number of ten or
twelve perhaps, and mayby twelve or if.
teen Black Republicans cum TOO. to see the
fun, suppose. forgot to say that Azariah.
son of Amaziah, was thar from the fust n m.
ported from your sity) and said thar would
be about a hundred of the faithful from
thar, also, purity soon. Wall, they did
eums stringing along to the number OF
twenty perhaps, and BY this time about as
many more Black Republicans. By this time
the crowd amounted to about seventy hui
mans as we'll as l could CESS. Word wa:
now given that the pole was ready to hist
Wall we started to hist it, and iist about the
time it was comm to the tight place the tree
cracked what we had the blocks hiched TO
and on examination it was found TO be hol.
Ter and rotten together, close down to the
root. About this time hearn q little Black
Republican Cuss what lives down abou
the saw mill, whisper to another o
EN-, that that SYCAMORE tree was like the
OHgAS PtoJoTDi, and don't you think wa.
mighty near tempted TO hit him, and be.
lieve would have hit him, if one ofmy dim.
