On Saturday. in going to Marshall, | saw

that there was pole raising-a Demo

respectable pole OF about one hundred aud
seventy feet in length, lying stretched
across the street on the north side Of the
square. aud was raised with a great deal
Of ease. The corners Of the square were
pre- occupied by Lincoln poles-that on

ArIr AGAIS.-Our local neighbor has
but one idea, aud that is the niggers, and
he can't talk about them without resorting
to his favorite habit of misrepresentation
and falsehood. In Tuesdays issue Of that
delectable sheet he reiterates the stale false
hood that the Republican party is in favor
Of negro equality, and then goes on to say
that the negroes in Nevius township at a
celebration about the first of August. car
ried flags, inscribed with the names Of
"Lincolu and Hamlin."
We are told by two of our most worthy
and credible citizens who happened TO be
present on that occasion that no such flags
we're carried by the colored population, and
that the Journals statement is simply
false.
We presume the advertisement Of a
"Colored Mems Ratification, is Of some
character, the silly connection Of the same

IScESDIARY TALK.--The following is a
sketch of speech of the Hon. Emerson
Etheridge, delivered the other day in Ten
nessee:
Mr.. Etheridge said, in general review OF
slavery throughout the world, that 1t had
been swept from Asia and Europe, and
now found locality only In the cotton
and tobacco States Of the American cOnti-
nent; that Jesus Christ preached TO slave
holders there, and they had given up their
slaves; and wherever slavery had been
abolished, it had been on account Of the
popular voice against it. He said that the
South had always got her rights. She had
always got what she asked for, sud more
too. he read the Black Republican plat
form, section by section, and asked the
people if there was anything in it TO offend
the South, or cause her To resist the inau-
guration of Lincoln. He said there was
not. And, so far as his election would af-
feet the South, it would be the same a. Il
Bell was elected. In either sveot there
would be an era Of general prosperity; prop
eTty io0uLd rise; the treasury would be fill
ed, aud the price Of negroes would go up
Among other things, he said that Lin
coin had never SAID anything harder
against slavery than Thomas efferson and
he quoted from Thomas Jefferson aud 9th
ers TO show the horrid light in which they
regarded slavery.
