DEMOCRATIC POLE RAIsING.-The
Democrats raised a pole at the head
of Third Street last evening. The
Democratic Silver Band turned out
on the occasion, and attracted quite a
crowd of boys. After a great deal of
trouble. propping, fixing. rigging
ropes, &C., the pole was at last raised
to a perpendicular position, and the
names of Seymour and Blair, who are
to be beaten this Fall, were flung to
the breeze. A large number of po-
lice officers were in attendance,
working like beavers. OF course
they have time to attend Democratic
pole raisings, if others have not.
Some fellow, knowing the wants OF
the crowd, had provided a keg Of
beer, to which the thirsty had access.
1t was brilliant idea. and the best
means that could have been employed
to get up the enthusiasm. We did
not notice any of the members of the
Crescent Club" but WhIttlesey
Saunders, Peter Maier, and other
time honored war horses Of the Dem
ocratic party were in attendance, a:
well as an unusually large number Of
well dressed young men who are not
at all famed for earning a livelihood
"by the sweat Of their brows."
Whittlesey, as is usual on such oc.
casions, took advantage of the oppor'
tunity afforded, and, in his usual
style, addressed the people. He was
followed by Peter Maier, Demo.
cratic candidate for Clerk, who
thought to make hay while the SUI
shone. We submit that Peter is no
acting fair with his Democratic OPP
ponent, who is by no means an orator
To speak on every occasion Is taking
a mean advantage of a man who pos.
sesses no such talent, especiall y not tt
such an eminent degree as Peter does
After the speaking crowd of a hal
dozen men, who were so busy will
the pole raising that they could no
imbibe a satisfactory amount of en-
thusiasm," made their appearance a
the st. Charles Saloon, and soon sue
ceeded in getting the steam up to sucl
a hight that they astonished the PEG
pie with their huzzas. This ended
the Democratic pole raising. Th'
party owes the man with the bee,
a debt of gratitude for furnishing
enthusiasm on the occasion.

HARD LYING 1t appears that the
Democrats expect to carry The cleo
ton by hard lying A few days ago
they put in circulation the report that
two of our prominent citizens and
steadfast Republicans had joined the
Copperheai party. This they knew
to be false. but they hoped to help a
sinking cause by so doing. This,
however, is an old adage, and was NJ
more than was to have teen expected;
but the meanest of all lies we have
ever heard was put in circulation yes
terday evening. After the pole rails
ing it was freely reported on the street
that three clergymen had made
speeches at the pole raising 1t is
needless to say the report is false. 1t
must be bad cause, indeed, that
needs such bolstering as that. This
is, perhaps, another effort to make the
party" respectable. Z"

THE CAMPAIGN IN WARR1cK. =
From a gentleman who arrived here
Yesterday from Spencer County, wa
Boonville. we learn that the canvass
is progressing with spirit in Warrick
County. ~.
On Monday a large Republican
meeting was held, and good speeches
were made by r. T. Kercheval and
Cant J. w. Wartman, of Rockport.
On Tuesday the same gentlemen
smoke at Folsomville, where a meet
ing of eight hundred had assembled.
A Grant pole ITO feet high was raised,
bearing aloft gallant streamer, bear
ing the illustrious names of Grant
and Colfax," and a magnificent United
States flag. The speech of Mr.. r. t.
Kercheval was listened to with pro-
found attention, and made good i'm
preston, being plain, practical, and
convincing. Capt. Wartman was
alike effective.
Yesterday the same gentlemen
spoke at Lynnville, and last night at
Boonville. The plain, good, practical
common sense, and thorough ac-
ouaintanee with the questions at issue,
enable them to secure the attention
and confidence of the honest yeo-
many.
To-day the same gentlemen speak
at Millersburg, and tonight at New
burg. Mr.. Kercheval is the Union
Republican candidate for Representa-
tive from Spencer County. and hi
effective efforts have not only insured
his success at home, but is doinI
good work for the general cause il
other counties. The cry of the Unioi
hosts is Onward to victory"

3 MATCH THEM.-The CoBie4. seems
to think the :. Fighting Boys in Blue
organizations of this city do not
amount to much. Suppose the De-
mocracy attempt to match them with
the : White Boys" that were talked
about in this city few months ago.
The Grant Soldiers boldly challenge
them to the contrast. Let US see the
list of the Soldiers who support Sey-
mour.
~ The impromptu demonstration on
Tuesday night was only the beginning
of what may be expected in larger
measure till the campaign closes.
There is 10 mistaking where the mass
of the Soldiers stand in this contest.

EDITORIAL BREVITIEs.

The Washington correspondent OF the
New York Herald writes long letter to
argue that the law does not require the Senate
to remove the President even in case of con-
yietion. and recommends that if he be convict
ed that he merely be reprimanded.4 1t would
bsmach more acceptable service to the Radl-
cal minority in the Senate if this correspon-
dent would show them how they may remove
the President without convicting him
Wendell Phillips is out in scorchins
article on Grant, in which he takes occasion
to severely review such fellows as Henry
Wilson, teetotaller Dodge, and other temper
ance demagogues, for their equivocating tes--
timony as to Grants habits. Phillips con-
cludes that Grant is only drum kard buta
man OF no ideas and without opinions of any
kind. The ultra.loyal will all say "Ameu"
to this, and then-vote for Grant, like the
moral and consistent men they are.
The New York Times makes very
strong point against impeachment when it
takes the ground that the Senate has no right
to convict Andrew johnson for attempting to
put his own Interpretation on the Tenure Of
Office bill. 1t Says the Senate cannot con-
sistently' ind him guilty without doing the
very thing for which it would thus condemn
the President The Times justly claims that
it is a disputed point, which can only be
properly determined by the Supreme Court
- Prince Alfred, one of whose loyal sub
iects in Austria shot at and dangerously
wounded him, is recovering, while the would
be assassin has already been sentenced to be
hanged. The Fenians are blamed with the
crime. but it is alleged that the murderous
assault was provoked by some of the freaks
connected with the wives and daughters of
the Australians. with which the name of this
Prince has been for some time infamously
associated.
Data, of the Baltimore Sun, writes from
Washington that Gen. Schofeld had no pres
Tious knowledge of the Presidents intention
to send in his name as Secretary of War, and
his friends say he will not accapsthe appoint
ment. There was no mention made of the
matter in Cabinet. and the President seems
to have acted on his own responsibility.

THE JUBTLEEI

Next Saturday, the 9th of the present
month, is to be ANOTHER day memorable in
the annals Of this county. On that day, as
We are Informed by published notice, the
radicals Of this county are to assemble in
Mass Convention" at the Courthouse in
Shepherdstown, for the purpose of selecting
delegates to the Clarksburg State and Con-
gressional Conventions, which are to be held
on the 2Sth Of May.
We are afraid that it will not suit our con-
venience to attend the proposed " Mass Con-
vention," and Jet for the qualification of our
friends, we should like to be there We
know that We shall be missed, and our abb
seuce probably remarked upon, but in ad-
vance, we must ask TO be excused. We feel
the worse over the matter, that we are unable
to send such a substitute, as in our judgment,
would do justice to the occasion, for Burton
and Anderson are the last Lingering repre-
sentatives of rad:calism that we have in our
township, and neither of these, we are sure,
will faithfully represent us at the county seat.
The former might possibly reflect the .senti>
whether circumstances will permit him to at
tend. Anderson having been confirmed as a
trustee Of the church in this town, will feel
the importance of his new position pressing
upon him too heavily to leave for Shepherds
town. We have an idea, however, that the
whole matter might he judic;ously left in the
hands of Capt. Grasshoppcr Smith, of Smith
field, who can represent US all. 1t is true,
he is not resident Of this county, but then
he is magistrate here, and that will give
him access to the hearts Of the loyal. And
then he IS good on substitutes, having hired
minor son to fight in the ranks of the Con-
federacy. The matter is fxed-Capt. Smith
will cast the vote Of Charlestown township
TWO votes-for delegates to the CIarksburg
Conventions. Go in Smith

THE SOUTH THE PRESIDENCY,

Though deeply interested in the result, the
people of the Southern States, have manifest
ed little concern with regard to the approach
ing Presidential election, contertinS them
selves with leaving the matter in the hands
oftheir tyranuical Northern rulers, with whom
rests the responsibility of the prostitution of
the Federal constitution This inertness is not
the result of any want of appreciation of the
great interests involved nor can it be attribu-
ted to any feeling of satisfaction with their
present sad condition, but is one of the con-
sequences of the overthrow of the power Of
the white, and the exaltatiOn of the negro
race. Only one purpose will actuatc the
Southern people in the coming contest, and
those of than who are allowed to vote, will
have this purpose steadily in view. They are
anxious for change of rulers, and toaccom-
plish this, they will heartily accept,any man
who is avowedly opposed to the unserupulous
party that is now running the country to de-
struction. Opposition to- radicalism is the
platform upon which they are willing to go
into the fight, and all other issues, so far as
they are concerned must be secondary to this.
The following article from the Richmond
Enquirer, describes accurately the sentiment
of the people Of the section to which we
allude -
1.-The southern people will vote for any man
whom the Northern Democracy may choose
to nominate, whether he be a SO called Peace
Democrat or so-called War Democrat. The
81 in
course since the war. If he has supported
the Constitution and the laws Hereunder
since the war, and has popularity enough in
the North to beat the Republican candidate,
he is our man, whether his name is Hancock
or Pendleton, or Mcclellan, or anything else.
We are perfectly willing to leave the all-ab-
sorbing question of finance and taxation to
be regulated by Democratic administration
upon the well-knOwn principles of right and
justice which have always characterized that
party. And in considering all these things
we desire to take the hint suggested in Mrs.
GLASS; famous recipe for cooking a hare
First catch the hare We desire to get a
Democratic administration, and everything
else can be attended to afterwards.
''Iu regard to the action of the Democratic
National Convention, our conviction is that
the nomination Of that body tciX he GeSto!rcd
upon ,ch0mSOcUer IS tile choice ofthe Northern
Democracy, for We believe that the southern
delegates will be wise and prudent enough to
vote en- masse fer whatsoever candidate is
known to have majority Of northern votes,
and we shall not be surprised ifthc Democratic
nominee for President is nominated by the
unanimous vote Of the Convention on the very
first ballot.
The southern people, in common with the
whole country, have too much at stake upon
the issue Of the next Presidential election to
permit mere personal feoling for any to
interfere With the plan of battle against the
revolutionary, prOscriptive, cOnfscating, and
general destruction party"
