RAISING hickory poles seems to BE the
principal pas;ine of democrats in this Vi
cinity. Their Increasing numbers are but
fair indication Of the growth OF demo
cratic sentiment throughout the country
1t was but few days ago that nice pole
was raised in the south part Of our town,
almost wholly by men who have hereto
fore acted with the republican party but,
having seen the error Of their ways. or
the ways of the party to which they be
longed, were DESTROYS of doing works meet
for repentance. Let fhc good work go on.
Every banner floating from democratic
flagstaff, is beacon light TO the followers
Of patriotic impulses, and is a constant
reminder Of Tho glorious war democra cy
has ever waged for right, truth and just
ice. Let the polls 60 up,--let the banners
float gracefully to the admir;ng gaze Of
toiling millions and Yet all the land lie
filed with rejoicings that the day of deiy-
crance from tyranny, intolerance and op-
preston, draws nigh.

\ CLERICAL MIsTAKE-A radical min
is;er Of this place made the remark in his
sermon last Sunday, that TIE prin ci3al of
the national debt vas being steadily and
surely reduced. We learn that he has
made the same statement before. In his
discourses during the present campaign.
IL .his divine would devote al his time to
politics:-ilstead Of devoting a portion Of
it to religious SUBJECTS and pay attention
TO what he might read in republican as
well as democratic papers, be would learn
that the principal &C the national debt was
'ncreassd, according to the monthly state
ment of the treasury, nine millions OF dol
lars in the month Of June, and four mil
ions more In The month Of July, making
the increase, in two months. with no uDu-
sual expenses, thirteen millions. The
statement for August will doubtless show
a still further Increase, as the Alaska pur-
chase money will be included in that state.
ment, and tho receipts for the month so
far have not met the expectations of the
treasury department. What object can a
minister have Ia view, when he stands be-
fore an audience that should be inteii-
gent, and says that the principal of the
national debt is being steadily reduced
Does he think that his hearers are such
numbsculls that they cannot tell whether
he speaks truly or not. or that they vii
take his statements for truth without q
why or wherefore? When preachers, So
called, undertake the enlightenment oil
the public on political subjects, the
amount of truth told by them may be cor
rectly printed on the point of cambria
needle with poster type.

MR.. DOOLI7TLE'.S SPEECH.
LARGE 1ND ENTHU.SIA SZIC
CROWD.
4 MdSTERLY GEHENT on
RECONSTRU CPION.

The citizens of Marshall county were
favored with q rare treat yesterday in the
form Of speech from Senator Doolittle, OF
Wisconsin 1t was not known until last
Friday that he would positively be here on
the 10Th, as lie had hecn advertised to
speak here and at Warsaw on the same
day; aud the democrats of Warsaw had
got out their bills for him to speak at that
place at the same time that he was adver-
tised to speak here. The matter was final
Iy settled by securing his services for War
saw on Thursday (to-day). This misuu-
derstaadiag prevented many from the
eastern portion OF The county from attend
ing yesterday.
Jhe crowd in attendance vas much
larger than any democrat anticipated on
SO short notice, and vas, in every sense OF
the word. 4 success.
re have not time nor space to notice in
detail the mastery speech Of Senator Doc
little. The principal portion Of he
speech was ca the subject Of recon
struciion, and 70 man in Tie couutry
can handle Chat subject better than he cap.
His arguments were unreasonable, aad his
conclusions incontrover,ible. Such speech
es Convince the understanding rather than
inaame the passions. They best sustain
cause Of right, and shut the mouths OF our
opponents Senator Doolittle carries with
him the best wishes Of democrats and
conservatives wherever he goes.
Judge Farrand, candidate for congress
in the llth congressional district, spoke
from the balcony Of the Parker house in
the evening but the lateness Of the hour
precluies any review Of his speech in this

CHOOSE YE.

There is no middle ground that can be
occupied by any thinking, honest man in
determining what position lie VIII occupy
in the political campaign this fall The
line dividing the two principal parties is
clearly defined, and the principles advoca-
ted by the one are directly opposed by the
other.
On the one hand the democratic party
announces itself in favor Of paying the
bonds issued by the government in grecn-
backs, or currency.
On the other hand, the radical party
announces itself in favor of paying the said
bonds in gold or coin.
The democratic party favors taxing the
bonds, as all oiher property is taxed.
The radical party iavors the continue
exemption Of said bonds from taxation.
The democratic party favors the ini,ne-
iiate redemption of large amount Of the
bonds and the abolition of the national
banking fraud, thereby saving many mil
Hons of dollars yearly, ia interest.
The radical party lavors a continuance
Of the present ruinoas system.
The democratic party favors a material
reduction of the present useless standing
army and unnecessary navy.
The radical party favor an increase Of
both rather than a reduction.
The democratic party favors reirench
ment, reform, and public economy.
The radical party are continually in
creasing the public expenditures by impo-
lite internal improvements, corruption
aad fraud. daily growing more unblusl;ng
and dangerous.
Tho democratic party oppose negro suf-
frace.
The radical party favors It, and attempt
Ell bat few months ago to engraft it in
the laws of Ohio and Michigan, and have
forced it upon the southern states contra
ry to law.
TIE democratic party opposes any de-
pariure irom a strict observance OF the
constitution, and dononuces the recon
struetion iniamy as a violation G all law
The radical party opealy admit tha;
they have been = logislating outside the
constitution" and by all their acts mani
fest their supreme contempt for that col
emn compact.
These arc few Of the prominent points
Of difference, aad on every subject con-
neeted with the administration Of the gov
crnmen. the line between the parties is
equally distinct.
The democratic party presents I've is
sues add asks the support of the people on
the ground that tde greatest good viii re-
suit to the country by the success Of dem
ocratic principles. While, on the other
hand, the radical party harps npon past

Az important meeting was recently held
in the governors office, New Orleans, be-
tween prominent men of both parties All
conceded that the danger Of collision was
imminent. The democratic gentlemen
expressed the opinion that the best and
only way to secure peace was to stop the
system of aggressive and oppressive legis-
lation cow in progress, that the democratic
and conservative clements Of the country
expected to accomplish nothing except in
a legal and constitutional way but that it
was unw;se for the state government to
defy the wishes of the people that If he
would throw himself upon the people, they
vou,! sustain him, and no resort to force
would be necessary for the preservation
of the peace. Gov. Yarmouth stated that
he was authorized to say, in behalf of the
republicans. that there was nothing in
reason that the republicans can do or con
cede that Will not be done to secure har-
mony. lie promised that measures OF
party policy, obnoxious to the citizets,
shall be modified. and said they were IN
earnest in their desire to secure the wei
fare Of the people. and to secure peace and
order. Another NEE ting will DC held in
few days. when it is believed some prac-
teal illustration OF the mutual desire TOR
harmony will be presented.
