4 LARGE AND ENTHUsISs SsTIC MEETING
We attended ;he DemOcTactic' meeting and
hickory pOie-raising in CarroiltoWH on last
Saturday afternoon and evening, and there

that it was an immense and enthusiastic
gatherlug-the largest demonstration of the
kind, we are assured, that was ever witness
cd IN that place. many members of the Han
cock and English Club of EbensbuTg, ac-
companed by their own martial band. the
prize banner, etc, and large delegations
from other points, well as hundreds of
people from the Immediate vicinity, beiuL-u
attendance at the meeting. The procession
which entered tarrUiijOWu from this tiTgc-
ton numbered eighteen wagons. carriages
and buTgie~, all Of which were Eicd To re
p.ttiOn, and as the grand pageant PASSED up
the main street of the town, with the cCrnCt
band the Germantown martial band and the
EbenSburg martial band making music by

y large stand foT tEc accommodation of
tie officers and speakers was erected in
front of the residence OF Hon. JOHN Buck.
who, by tine way, presided at the meeting,
assisted by dozen or more ice Presidents
and Secretaries, and from thence were de
Hvered two of the ableSt political speeches
we have ever had the pleasure of hearing
The first of these was by Valentine Hay.
Esq, OF Somerset, who aS an eloquent, earn
est and exceedingly entertaining orator has
few If any equals. His speech was partly i'm
English and partly i'll German, but II Is need
less to say that Hancock and English, and
especially the former, came ia for the BIG
end Of it. NIT. IiaV was followed by F. p

noon meeting, the CaTT1lltOwn silver coruet
band and the two martial bands meantime
enlivening the occasion with the hest of
music. After the meeting all went TO work
with a VIII To plant the big pole in a pcrpcn-
dIcular position ON the public square less
than hundred yards from where the speak
ers' stand was erected. This was tnc second
effort in that direction, the first having
proved abOTtive because the right hitch had
not been taken in hoisting it, and as cOnse-
quence the pole broke at the first splice. This
miShap was soon rgWedied. however. and
about dark the enthusiastic Democrats sue
cceded after "A long pun, strong pull and

This good work done, all repaired to sup

been made that an adjourned meeting, to be
addressed by Col. John j. Linton, of Johns
town, and others, would be held at Vert

dress the large asSemblage-So large that it
nearly filled the room to its utmost capacity
and for more than an hour held his listen
ers speil-bouHd while he fOrcibly, elOquently
and efiectnaliV disposed of the impudent as
sertions and lying claims put forward by the
orators and newspapers of the Republican
household about the origin and conduct of
the late war for the Union. Il Is we'll known
that Republican organs and orators, with a
disregard for the truth OF history which is as
insulting as it is neNcuSable, have never
ceased to proclaim the most Infamous lies
about the Democrats having originated the
war and the Republican party having fought
it through to successful completion and
finally saved the Union from disintegration
and the country from ruin. These oUtra-
geOus assertions, as well a. many others
equally unworthy of a great party seeking
the support and approval of an Intelligent
and honest people, Col. Linton, like the two
able speakers who preceded him III the al
ternOon, disposed of so thoroughly and com
pletely and that, too, from the records of
the war, that we certainly think no Repuhli-
can who listened to him, if amy there were,
would ever again have the temeTity to in

Having been a brave soldier and gallant
officer during the late rebellion, no man has
a better right to impale the Republican liars
on tins score and none there are who can 90
it more eflectually and eloquently than Col.
John =. Linton, who II heart and soul in the
present political contest, and who, like every
man competent to see and disDOsed to read
