a DEMOCRATIC POLE RAISING.

DhMOtkATiC fOi.E kAlSlNS. 0..Nf
MrDDLErowN, Sept. 25th, 1s6s.-Iast night,
we had the pleasure of attending grand and en-
thusiastic gathering of the Democracy In our
town, called together for the purpose of erecting
hickory pole at the establishment of Lager
Beer" johnson. For several days previous 10 the
meeting large posters had been posted around the
the town and country notifying the uRterr;fed'
of the grand events. Among the speakers an
nounced was the Hon. John Haney, of Pennsyl-
yania, (alias Thos. Cochran's hostler,) and Henry
Newlin, Esq Mr.. Newlin being absent from in
disposition Hon. James Bayard Hall, of Town
send, Del, acted as alternate. The pole having
been erected the meeting was called to order,
when the Hon. John Haney was introduced amid
loud cheering by the assembled multitude, which
was composed of some six or eight men and
about dozen boys, and spoke as follows -
Feller-cltizens, hic! hurrar for Seymour &
Blair, hic! bloated bondholders, hic! they want
us to pay two dollars for one hic damn 'em, we
won't do 1t, hic we'll give 'em dollar for dollar
and If they don't like that damn 'em, they may
go to hell, hic and take nothing. Feller-citizens
| my voice fails me, hic!''
At this point some of the unterrifed inserted
pin in the posterlor extremity of the speaker
a collapsed condition in one corner of the room.
We are sorry that we cannot report the spcecl
of Hon. James Bayard Hall, of Townsend, but hi
delivery was rather thick and incoherent, so mucl
SO that we were unable to get any of his remarks
At the conclusion of the meeting the large as
sem6y dispersed, leaving their principal speaker
Hon. John Hanev of Pennsylvania alone, to fin,
lodging as best he could in strange land an,
among strangers. He wandered around town q
late hour entering tho houses of several prom
inent Democrats who all turned to him the col
shoulder, and ordered him 10 leave. This treat
ment so exasparated him that he cursed loud an
deep, and wended his way to the Middleton
hotel. but alas his same bad luck met him ther
and he was compelled as aslast resort to max
himself as comfortable as possible on the hot,
porch. This morning the Hon. Gentleman
prowling around town swearing If that kind
treatment is Democracy he will pack his trun
and leave the State. which trunk, BY theway, Is

An.Emb.rrasea', Dem ocrat.

Mr.. Follett, Democratic candidate for Con-
gress in the Marietta District, Ohio in a re-
cent speech at Pomeroy. asserted that the
National banks paid no tax to the Govern
ment that the First National Bank of
Pomeroy, for instance, did not even pay
road tax, and that the Hon r. A. Plants
would not dare to deny the truth of his state
ment. At this moment, says the Pomeroy
Telegraph, Mr.. Plants stepped forward,
and went on to say that the Pomeroy bank
paid the Government one per cent. a year
on the average amount of circulation; one
half of one per cent upon the average amount
of deposits and like tax upon the average
amount of It's capital stock, beyond its in
vestment in Government bonds. In addition
to this, he said, each stockholder in the bank
paid to the State and county and town, taxes
on thefnll amount of his capital stock, Just
the same as on all other property, and that
the road tax alone paid on the stock of the
First National Bank of Pomeroy this year
amounted to six hundred dollars. Mr.. Fol
lett became very much embarrassed, and fin
ally stammered out that he was obliged to
leave the matter, and would let his friend,
Colonel McCook attend to it.

WE ARE GLAD TO LEARN that the Repub-
licans of Kent and Sussex counties have de-
cided to adopt the proper and self respectful
course Of nominating straight tickets for the
Legislature and county officers. Their pros
pect Of success may not be very great, at
present, but they may be sure that only a
straightforward, incorporating, and ener-
getic course willeyer build up strong party
to oppose the Democrats, in those counties.
There has been very much unfortunate wait.
ing for the weaknesses of our opponents
and too little systematic effort to strengthen
ourselves; there has been too much playing
second fiddle to the small fry politicians in
the corrupt Democratic rings, and moi
enough of bold, sturdy, self-assertion.
The resolute purpose to nominate county
tickets Of good men, and the effort to give
them every vote Of the Republican party,
will show that it has real, earnest, posi-.
tive, existence. 49,. s.ss

Fall Trade.

The fall trade amongst our retail merchants is
setting in, and the indications for fair season
are favorable. This being presidential election
year of course iirst-rate trade is not expected,
but making due allowance for this the prospect
is not unsatisfactory. In dry goods, many mer-
chants are making extensive preparations and lay
ing In large and varied stock, and those who have
thus prepared are already beginning to reap the
benefit More goods are selling now than there
were this time last year.
There is sril complaint amongst some of the
damaging influence OF cheap fares, though the
complaint is generally confined to dealers in fine
goods and fancy articles. One prominent dealer
in domestic dry goods tells us that all damage his
business had ever sustained from this cause he
thinks has ceased, people appearing to have prov
ed that it will not pay to go TO Philadelphia after
heavy goods on which they have to pay freight.
In regard to fine dress goods, however, many still
adhere to the belief that il adds TO the value and
quality of dress to obtain i thirty miles away
from home. We are pleased to learn that fer
carpets, an expensive item in house furnishing,
the demand is increasing here. and that fewer
than ever before arc being purchased outside the
city. ~ aH Al
Wholesale trade is decidedly on the increase
here, and though we have as yet but few strictly
wholesale establishments many of the large re-
tail stores both n dry goods andgroceries as we'll
as other branches of trade, have q large and in
creasing trade with smaller stores In the city and
with country stores. Where manufacturing is
united with the business as in stoves and tinware,
and tobacco and cigars, the Wholesale trade is ex-
tensive and important, and the indications for this
season are excellent

The National Monument over Mr.. Lin
coin.

II is announced that the National Monu-
ment Association have adopted the design of
the American sculptor, Larkin G. Meade,
for the monument to be placed over the re-
mains of Abraham Lincoln, at Oak Ridge
Cemetery, in Springfield, Illinois. The fol-
lowing description is given of Meade's de-
sign. The die is seventy feet high and the
total height is one hundred feet. The foun-
dation and subbase are of granite, and the
artist proposes the architectural work to be
Of Rayerceoni marble and the statutes of
bronze. The obelisk is surmounted by the
eagle and globe. AT the base pedestal is
projected in front, on which is q colossal
statute of Lincoln. On plane below, at
the four cardinal points, are four pedestals,
on which are groups representing the infan-
try, cavalry, artillery and marine arms of
the service. Encircling these pedestals are
tablets of which are written the names of all
the States. These tablets are linked togeth
er, and the whole work indicates that
through the wise counsels of the President
and the endurance of the soldiers and sail
ors, the Union has been preserved and per-
petuated. On the four sides of the base are
tablets for inscriptions. That in front and
under the statute bears the name in full
Abraham Lincoln. The sub base is reached
by stairs from the corners of the base, and
under the base is the crypt for the remains.
The door of the crypt is also the entrance to
the passage and stairway, which ascends the
monument inside

Maryland shames us for our lash system.
The Gomez, of Talbot county, considering
the proposed Peninsular Union says I'VE
do not know that the Eastern Shore Of Mary
land would be willing TO be united in State
bonds with Delaware, unless the latter State
would consent to abrogate some of her pecu.
liar institutions, which are looked upon here
as relics of barbaric age. We are not anx-
ious to share with Delaware the glory OF
keeping the whipping post as a refornatory
Institution, and to this Delaware seems to
be peculiarly welded. Nor do we Eastern
Shoremen think that imprisonment for debt,
Is wise or judicious policy.
There is, practically, no imprisonment
for debt, in Delaware-except for colored
men. But under our present State rule, they
are, as Judge Taney said, possessed of no
rights that white men are bound to respect.

Grace Church-ns Seen by . Stranger.
A correspondent of the Baltimore Sim writes
as follows from this city to that paper under date
of September 22nd - 81 .sosH,-srq
Baltimore is truly called the "city of monu-
ments, and Wilmington may fifty be termed the
" city Of churches" In my rambles through its
streets have been much pleased, not only with
the immense number Of almost every denomina-
tion, but with the architectural designs and great
taste displayed in their construction and elaborate
finish. u was my pleasure on Sunday last to visit

hearing the PASTOR Rev. Alfred Goodman, son of
the lamented George Cookman, nnd worthy
representative Of noble sire, deliver an eloquent
| discourse, which was listened to with profound
attention bya. large and attentive congregation.
1t was my good fortune, in my YOUTH 10 listen to
his father, on the occasion of one Of his first, II
not the very first, sermons delivered by him in
Wilmington, in old Asbury- Church, and hence
my desire to hear the son. must say was not
disappointed. 3@4 aeQ lffN
To give you fitting description Of Grace
church is beyond my ken but suffice II to say
that in architectural design beauty of finish and
"model for the world" Whilst there is nothing
gaudy, each part appears to conform to the other,
both in the internal and external arrangements.
The auditorium or body of the church is filled
able order, nffording plenty of room ior the oc-
cupants. The organ, of fine tone and finish, is
placed next to the pulpit or preachers staud, and
in front Is seated tho choir, consisting of four
voices, two male and two female. This, of course,
does away with the old plan of a singing gallery,
so styled by some; and, however, some may OBJ
ject TO the Innovation must confess II attracted
my particular attention, and was much pleased
with the change. 1t reminded mt of the olden
time" when in " old Asbnry'' the singing was
led by single individual, standing beneath the
pulpit, when the whole congregation would join
In singing, and was pleased to note that on the
above occasion there were very many fine voices,
both male and female, to be heard In the assem-
bly,. joining In praise to God.
The most attractive part, however, of this vast
edifce to me was the lecture and school rooms;
the former, like the church, Is fitted up with COM
fortably cushioned seats the upper school room
is arranged In a tasteful and becoming manner,
tablets containing the ten commandments and
appropriate passages Of Scripture grace the walls
the infants school room is model in the way of
arrangement. The seats are of circular form,
raised one above the other, being great conve-
nience to the teachers in their labors of love.
The architect in the construction of this beauti-
ful monument TO Methodsm in Wilmington was.

this city, Thomas Dixon, ESQ.,, and the people of
Wilmington have no cause to regret their selec-
tion of him to carry out their wishes.
