That Seymour and Blair Pole.

The supporters Of Wade Hamp.
toms nominees succeeded last Fri
day afternoon in getting up a tall
pole on the public square. An i'm.
immense banncro muslin, display
ing the red white and red bars with
al insignificant patch OF blue
scarce sufficient to redeem the thing
from being an out.and'out rebel
flag, and inscribed with tho names
of Seymour and Blair, was nailed
to and went up with tho pole,
where it flaunts with tho brazen and
rufiian impudeucc characteristic Of
the owner Of the last name on the
robol ticket himself. Far below,
at halfmast, floats a modest little
National flag, which looks as il
ashamed OF itsclf in its incongruous
position, and which the man who
tends tho pole is in tho habit Of
lowering and raising to its place as
occasion serves. 9
1t must be confessed that the
Seymour. land. .Blair.itos have in
this affair hit tho prophecies ol
their position most admirably.

ANNIvERsARY OF THE BATTLE Of


ANNIVERSARY OF THE BATTLE OF
THE THAMES. -On Monday last,
October 9th. our venerable and
esteemed friend Gen. Geo Sander
son called our attention to tho fact
that on that day fifty. five years ago,
ho Cat that time Capt. Sanderson
was engaged with his company un-
der Gen. Wm. Fl. Harrison, in the
famous battle Of the Thames, which
resulted in one of tho mos. signal
American victories oftho war then
pending with Great Britain, and in
which the celebrated Indian chief,
Tccumsch, lost his life. Gen. San.
derson informs US that he does not
know of a single member Of his
company now surviving, except
himself. Hc, VIC are happy to say,
is yet in tho enjoyment OF degree
of health and strength giving rea-
son to hope that his days may yet
bo prolonged to the period when
he shall see the country he yet
loves as when he girded on his
sword to defend her in the field
fully restored to prosperity and
peace-with not cloud in Tho
political sky to cast q shadow o
treason DER the land.

When the PLANTATION BirrERs we're first made
nown to the American people some seven
years ago, it was supposed they were an en-
tirely new thing, and had never before been
used. Solar as their general use in the United
States is concerned this may be true. It's al
so true that the same Bitters were made and
sold in the Island OF 81. Thomas, over forty
years ago, Ms any old planter, merchant or sea
captain dong business with the II'est Indieswill
tell you. II is distinctly within my recollec-
tion that on the return ofmy father (who was
sea captain, and doing 40 extensive trade in the
tropcs,) he would invariably have thc.bitters
in the ships stores, and our family sidebo -rd
was never wthoutthem. For any si kuess, i
matters not how severe or tiff 6, the decant or
of these. Bitters, by a different name, was al :

A Good Speech.

DR.. Edwards addressed a very
large meeting at the Wigwam on
Wednesday night Of last week, in a
powerful and effective speech. He
had been announced to reply to the
speech of Gen. T. Ewing delivered
TO the Democracy on the previous
Saturday. So far as hc undertook to
do this, the almost unvaryihg expires.
sion of his unprejudiced hearers
was that his effort was eminently
successful, Notwithstanding the re-
puted ability of the Democratic
champion whose argument he was
dissec,ing.
The Doctors speech was undoubt'
edly of grelt service to the Repub
lican cause, and confirmed in The
determination to vote Tor Gran
and Colfax more than one democra
who had been started in that direc
tion by the speeches Of Ewing and
Stanbery.
