Lincoln Pole Raising at Rockford.

Our Republican friends of Rockford,
this county, had a grand "pole rails
ing" on Friday last. Invitation hav-
ing been extended TO the St Charles
Republican Club to assist them, the
members turned out in full force, with
music, flags and banners. Arriving
at Rockford, and after passing in pro
ccssion through the several streets OF
the town, they were cordially wei
coined by the Rockford Republicans
and handsome entertainment was pro
vidcd for all. Every where the Latch
string" was out
Dinner being over, the people col
lected upon the ground where prepare
tons were going on for the erection
Of the Flag Staff. When all was
ready, invitation was given to every
man to take his position at the guys
and other ropes, or to assist with the
pixies, &c. Now, gentlemen, up
with the pole" was heard from the
foreman, and the pole gradually and
surely arose to its upright position,
and was firmly planted in the ground.
There was no wrong move and no ac-
cdent Everything progressed Ike
clock work, and the time occupied
was not more than fifteen minutes.
In moment, a magnificent United
States flag, made by the Republican
ladies Of Rockford, was run up to the
top of the flagstaff, having above it a
fine streamer Oh which was inscribed
the names of "Lincoln and Hamlin,"
and both foatcd out beautifully and
gracefully upon the breeze. The Flag
Staff was one hundred and ten fee,
high, straight and handsome.
While the flag was being raised, ;
procession was formed, of both ladic,
and gentlemen, carrying their various
banners, and, preceded by the music
they marched around the liberty pole
formed hollow square, and gave
three cheers for the new Lincoln Flag
Staff. }. G. Patterson, Esq, of st
Charles City, was then called, anc
made handsome and appropriate ad
dress, after which three cheers wer,
given for the new Flag, then floating
so proudly over their heads, and three
cheers for Lincoln and Hamlin, whcl
the audience were invited to the home
Of the citizens for refreshments, an
meeting was appointed for the eve
ming.
We ought to mention here bca,
tiful incident which occurred in til
afternoon, previous to raising the poll
Shortly after the gentlemen had a,
semblcd upon the ground, the Rocl
ford ladies and their female visito,
were seen approaching in procession
carrying fine banner on which VIZ
inscribed Free Homes for FIR,
Men," and on the reverse, "Lincu
and Hamlin." The gallantry Of t
gentlemen was instantly aroused, al

HuNcARY.-A deeply laid and exten-
sive conspiracy, originating in the
old palace of Buda, has been discov-
cred, which was to burst forth on the
occasion of st. Stephens celebration
in August. Kossulh's prolonged stay
in Paris has not been without mean
ing for it now appears that the En-
pcror of Austria, acting under the ad-
vice of the Regent of Prussia, has an
nounccd his intention to acknowledge
the independence of Hungary on his
natal day. This wise course will not
only save fire, bullet, rope and sword,
but Hungary itself (for little while
longcr) to the Hapsburgs.

flashy ornaments are worn. The la
