THE HICKORY POLE.



10 speech at lie Beuf, Pa, Benjamin
Whitman, Esq, gave the following account
Of the manner 10 which the hickory pole
became the symbol of the Democratic
cause :-"In the summer Of 1913, while
the second war with Great Britain was in
progress, the Creek Indians, occupying a
portion Of Alabama, melted by Engiish
wiles, broke out into Instruction against
the United States and committed numer.
Gus outrages upon the people Of that sec
tion. Their ayowed object was extermin-
alton and independence. An expedition,
composed mainly Of Tennessee volunteers,
was sent against them, under the com.
mand Of Andrew jackson. His men
were enlisted for brief periods, and he was
necessarily hampered by threats Of mutiny
aud by the delay Of his supplies. BY
almost Incredible bravery, BY rare skill,
and by an alacriiy Of movement that has
few parallels, Jackson pursued the savage
enemy into the centre Of their country,
attacked their armed bands wherever he
could find them, captured their strong.
holds, killed off many of their warriors,
and before the close OF year obliged them
to sue IN the abjee;ness Of utter despair
for immediate peace. The energy aud
endurance displayed by jackson contrast.
ed 50 strangely with his slender frame that
the soldiers could only account for il by
suggesting that he must be made Of hiek
DRY, and the title Of cold Hickory given
to him IN that campaign, adhered to the
rare old chieftain until the eud Of his life
From this soubriquet, proudly accepted
BY his admirers as the fttest expression Of
his firmness Of character, came the idea Of
planting hickory poles BY the Democratic
party in their political contests. The
hickory was FIRST raised as symbol Of the
Democracy in Tennessee, during the cam
paign Of 1924, when Jackson made bis
run against Adams, Clay aud Crawlol a
for the Presidency. BY the ensuing con,
test, which ended in his election, tho sen-
timent had become national, and every
city, town, village and cross-road had is
hickory pole, in almost every case floating
flag inscribed with the name Of the can.
didate and some appropriate motto. From
that day to this the hickory has been the
popular Democratic tree, as the game.eock
has been the chosen representative Of the
party among the birds Of the land. Moth.
ING could better represent the frmness,
the strength, the compactness, the indie.
structibility, the capacity to give and take
the hard knocks Of the Democratic party
than the solid fibred hickory. Let Il con.
tinue, then, as the ct and proper symbol
Of our cause. Let hickory poles be eIeva-
ted by every roadside and at every place
where people cougregaie, to remind the
generation Of to-day Of tho brilliant mem
cries Of the past, and to speak to the world
Of the endurance Of the principles which
gave our country its foothold among the
nations"

The ersenbaok Farce.

The Greenbsck movement, honestly in.
augaraied, no doubt, has now, it seems,
developed irto diversion to assist the
Republican party. In the Southern States
its ally was always the Republican party.
In the West and 10 Maine it has hereto.
fore allied itself with the Democrats, the
two parties uniting aud often carrying To-
cal elections and congressional districts.
Now, however, the leaders, it would ap-
pear, have sold out, and the greenback
movement is conducted solely in the in
tcrest Of Garfield and Arthur The
following, taken from the Washington
correspondence Of the Baltimore .Sua, I'M
der date of September 9th, gives some
faetst sustain this view:
What little doubt may have existed as 10
the complete aihliation of the greenback man.
ayers with the republican party is now com
pletely dissipated. The action Of General
Weaver, the greenback candidate for Presi-
deni, ever since the iarce OF his nomination
at Chicago, eliminating in his positive reia-
salfo speak on Friday night from the same
stand with the democratic speakers in Maine,
taken with the action Of the organ Of the
greenbackers here, furnishes all the proof
needed. Gen. Weavers course is quite na
tural. He was never anything but republi.
can, holding Office under that party as an in
iernal revenue Official until within a short
time Of the period when he was elected TO
Congress rs a greenbacker. The fusion tick
etin Maine had every prospect Of success until
Mr.. Weaver commenced to throw cold water
on the coalition Of the greenbackers with the
democrats, and Of course his only object is 10
help the republicans. Whom he was recently
here he was much eouried by the republicans,
and all bis utterances we're awaited Of to help
the republican cause. The greenback manage
ment has apparently thrown off all disguise
as i is actively cooperating with the repub-
hcan managers. Ithas gone into the South.
