Eltitor Obserrer :—The 22d of August will be a day long remembered by the Democracy of North East. 'lt was the occasion "of the rai.ing of one 54' the finest, if not the tallest, hickory poles that ever pointed heavenward in Erie county. The West side of the "Dia mond" (or public square) was the place se lected by the Committee in charge of this Jacksonian emblem. About two hundred live Democrats-La large' number for North East—assembled for this purpose, and about the hour of sun-down this,magnificent pale stood erect, the admiration - of our Republi can fellow-citizens as well as Democrats. Our Republican friends congratulate us upon our success in raising this immense pole, and give us due credit, for it was thought by many, both Democrats and Republicans, that we would fail in the attempt to raise it with the means, placed at our command. This appeared plausible after-raising it to an attitude of thirty feet, when ono of the "blocks" gave way; but there being no such word as "fail" in the Democratic lexicon, in less than one hour after this accident Horace Greeley's "Flaunting Lie" was floating from the mast-head, amid threei - Otisitifcheers for the flag, and three cheers for ,Seyinotir Blair. It stands 125 feet above the ground, 7 1-2 feet under• ground, with nine feetsplice. Our first regtilar meeting of the North East Democratic Club met on 31orelay even ing last, 24th inst., at Haynes' Hall. The Democracy of the borough were well repre sented as to,numbers ; officers. and commit tees were selected for the coming campaign, and the members walked up and paid their initiation fee of one dollar With alacrity. , A motion was made that the Democracy hold a Mass Meeting in this place on the .7th of September—the Anniversary of the adoption of the Federal Constitution, a* it trasivialeh motion was unanimously carried: AlSO.filiti the Secretary of the Club be directed to sub- Scribe for twenty-five copies of the campaign Observer, for gratuitous distribution; which motion prevailed. Our Radical friends held their•regular semi-monthly meeting of the Grant Club on Saturday evening last iirthe usual place. The North East Band at an early 'Mtr in the evening ,discoursed excellent Music, which had the effect of bringing together a very fair audience, composed about equally of ladies, Republicans and Detnocrats. The meeting was addressed by three speakers from your city, the first of whom was Mr., James Sill, who, anticipating defeat in the approaching election, remarked, that thoneh their party may possibly be borne down, their principleS; founded on eternal truth, would live ! His remarks throughout were not such as to inspire confidence among his friends, one of whom pronounced his speech as exceedingly Rill-y. The next speaker was Mr. Ctirtis—some • times called "Gen." Curtis-Who delivered himself of a number' of dry jokes, and who complained bitterly that' he had been pushed out of the Democratic party, as had alsoßen Butler, and - others of-his (Butler's) stamp. Ile claimed all the credit was due to the Radicals and the negtoes in putting down the rebellion, and in his opinion no Demo crat helped to sustain the Government dur ing the war. Mr. M. B. Lowry was, the next and last speaker. From the tone of hfs remarks, ,he, too anticipated a Waterloo defeat to the Rad; ical party in the coming election, and primbe: sled "that if Seymour & Blair were elected another civil war watt inevitable"' Such contemptible nonsense will frighten none but old ,women. We were promised this' same. thing Last year in the event the Demo crats carried Pennsylvania, as may be seen in the Dispatch just before the October eke.' The greatest enthusiasm manifested at this gathering of the "trooly was when a small dog commenced yelping and barking' during the. speech of Mr. Sill. A very ardent Radical jumped up rand tinned that that Democratic dog 'be put out. This created quiten sensation and a general hurrah, which was the marked event of the whole evening. Nova cheer was given during the entire meeting for 1111141 Simpson Grant & Smiler Colfax, said their names were only mentioned incidentally. On the • whole, the meeting was a very tame affair, and the speakers' re• marks were uninteresting-and tedious oven to their party friends, if we may judge from the fact that many straggled out long before' the hour of adjourraneuL 'ibis trio of Radicalspeakers left oirr peace t ful village, on the midnight train for grit!, in a very happy and spirited" mood, and your correspondent feels disposed to throw the mantle of charity over them and not make particular mention of the cause of a =deal ti accident (which mightlae proved serious) that happened to one of-them. Yours, Born the Radical clubs started in this city last sprimg have been disbanded, for want of . sittlipient encoNagetr.ent, sad a nett' erganization has been formed, 011 t of their Xenitirßts, Vq4 . 101 tia..bc. known as the "Tanner's Club of Erie."

This is glorious Tvii, and I hope our Democratic friends throughout the whole county will extend him a Hospi table greeting- and a warm meal,. for his speeches will make us at.least 1,000 votes., 'lf convenient fcir the Hon. "Scofield, I would suggest that when he speaks at Fairview he explain to the people there why it was that he lent his influence to defeat Major I. P..

As'but a few years agolne ground now oc cupied by Corry was a—wilderness, with few facilities for building. especially of brick,and the demand for buildfugs became greater than the supply from time to tune, our former buildings, with few exceptions, were erected of wood, withoett much regard for taste or style ; but the past two years our peo ple have seen - the necessity of erecting a bet ter and more substantial class of builaings. Particularly is this noticeable in the erection of buildings for business purposes. Among Some of our new btick structures; I must no tice what is called '-'Wright's Block," erected - by Messrs. Wright & Co., at a great cost, who are one of Our ; most enterprising business ;firms. This block is filled up with good, en terprising men from basement to awe. In the •basement, you will find our old friend John Sliney,Wilo always hasn friendly greet ing and, a hearty ;hand Eliake - for all his friends .and customers, who are numerous, and increasing: On the first floor are fonhd, Messrs. Fobes Raker; and Mr. J. Murray, dry goods, dealers, and also that, prince of sociable business men, 11. T. Nash, hardware dealer. All the above:mentioned are good merchants and keep fine stocks. Further up, on the second and third - floors, we' find Wright & Co's office, the Republican office, G.A. It. Rooms, Masonic Hall, and the I.;:taion League Head , Quarters; - and also,. my old Mewl, Esq. Wilson, who is just recovering from the effects of Scofield's great speech, Which I mentioned in a former letter. Here the brains, intellect and wisdom of the party of "grand moral ideas"- assemble, and lay plans . for the utter demolition of the poor Copper heads. Having entirely thrown overboard neighbor Pain and the South Ward Republi cans, and their counsels, they propose to run the machine at 2:10 rate, time will tell how profitably fur their sinking muse: I forgot to mention that my friend, Esq.

Dear cOliserre.,r : We have_ had an old fashioned rally of the Democracy, and raised a Illekory pole one hundred . and two and tine-half feet out of the ground, without a splice. At the_top floated a most beautiful flag, 'containing thirty-seven stars, Mid ;un derneath was a streamer carrying , the names of Seymour and Blair. The n'praces;le its formed on Second street, under the marahal 'ship of Col. W. 0. Colt, ono ,of the bravest heroes 'of the late war, and was a decided success. It halted in front of the hOnse of P. Judsen,Esq„ where the pole was to be -raised, and at about half - past 12 o'clock _the' pole, antler the management of George Ber ger, Jr., was successfully hoisted to its place, notwithstading the predictions andaudibly expressed wishes of some of the Radicals, That enough.mer would not, !be present to raise it. ' An attempt was made hy.eome of the Radicals to draw off the crowd byt4ing down and raising-a Grunt and Polecat pole not far off,•but It was a signal. failure. - A stand wail erected in front of the "'Engle hotel" for the speakers' use, and the streets in front were immediatelyyfilled by,ti throng eager to hear thetrutli, as they fully believed I they would=and they Were riot dliappoint ' ed.

The -meeting was throUghout &decided success, and, for Radical Waterford, was a most gloritmi' rally; The Democrats were in fine spirits, whlle scowls, oaths and anathemas hurled at us were the order of the day among the Radicals. Your correspondent heard of numerous 'converts to the Democostic faith during the tisk, and met some, so that you may safely count on the Democratic' Vote of Waterford " being nearly, if not quite, doubled this fall.

Yiiurar Truly, OccAstoNAL. fr,raln thlitkenvin!'s Atl - 4tate•l , . • • • A Match ,Eies. -We - find iitiite Erie liiillatch of Monday last, a letter : written from Briokville, Pa., Which for lylng misrepresentation and Otis falsehood, would entitle the writer to be classed with the greatest Snd meanest liars of the age. We do not reply to the article in question in order to defend any of the irfdi viduals named, for they need no defence `theythere — are knotrn lintire mire to show the people to 'what means the Radi cals Will resort to cover up the real isaies. The writer, in the tirrApartof his letter,refers ton meeting which was held inClearfield on ,tite 12111 of Angtist,lBl;4,mul gives us the following refreshing He ' 'Placards had 'been POstcd'np throughout the county of Clearfield,ctHing upon, the people to assemble, and assemble they did, most of them carrying banners inscribed 'not Wtnan or adollar for this unll'oly war.'" We were present at the Meeting in ques lion, and now confidently 'Assert, and will swear to it if. necessary, that no such ban ners were carried, and we, will defy him to find a Republican who, attended that meet ing who will Contradict our assertion. Again, the 'writer gives us another He, when he says., •' - ' "The meeting adionrned with cheers' fo Jett. , Davis." We heard njsuch cheers coming,. from' Democrats. It is, however, tree that] Sort(' Loss who were himd to do so by Republiran did elteer for Jeff. Davis atter the meeting had broken up. . Further' on we find another wilful •false hood, and the writer knows that it is when he asserts it: "Col. Cyrus' 8./liter, .brive 'soldier, and Lieut. George W. Vanyleit, two employees (man-catchers) of 'the Provost Marshal, were ordered to go to Clearfield county and arrest the delinquentdrafted men. On the night of the 31st of October, 1804. Colonel • Butler, while attempting to arrest a dratted man, not ten miles from the residence of William A. Wallace, was shot dead by one Joe touns berry." ', Now let us examine this matter: I In the .first place, Col. ff) Butler was not employed by the Provost -Hershel:— He-bail—taken the job on Ida own. peg-omit, to:catch non-repor ters and deserters for the price li:rid by Gov: eminent,. of $3O per bead, after he had .been dishonorably dismissed from Company K, 11th Pennsylvania Reserves. Having been very successful in catching non-reporters In his own locality, and thisiness being dull, he concluded that Clearfield would be a fine field in which to display his prowess. So, be with Vanvleit, went there. Among others who had neglected to report was one Joseph Lounsberry, a man who, un til he was drafted, had always been a Republi can. Lounsberry utterly refused to report, although to our personal knowledge, money had been offered him by Democrats with which to buy a substitute. But he remained at home, pursuing his ,daily avocations as he had always done: Attempts had been made to arrest him,buf he bad succeasiblly resisted them. On the morning in question, Butler, accompanied by Vanvleit and three neigh bors of Lounsberry's, made their appearance at Lounsberry's, who was in his barn feeding his stock. On seeing the men approach the unfortunate man ran for his ,house and re solved to defend t with his life if necessary. Butler and three of his , men gave chase. Reader, think of the situation of that poor crian,liounded - by five incarnate fiends, and he nearly fifty years of age. He gained his own 'reef . first, with Butler close ou his heels. Louusberry - motinted the stairs, and reaching the head of then', grasped his trusty rifle, and ordered Butler to halt. Butler answered by firing his revolver, the ball wounding Louns berry in the fleshy' part of the arm. Loans' berry then fired, his ball striking Butler above the groin, he then clubbed his gun, and stri king Butler ran down to the lower room, ',Where three armed men were awaiting him, but lie escaped. Butler died oit the following day. He had taken his life on his own hands, and suffered by so doing. Lounsberry. but Acted on the great principle of our law, that "a tune's house is his castle'," and that it is not only his right but his duty to defend it. The writer then mentions another ease of resistance to the draft, Hear him : . "On. the night of the 13th of December while, attempting to arrest a gang . of- these defulquent drafted men, the notorious Tom. Adams 'fired from an ambush and instantly killed a soldier. Adams, in turn, was instant ly killed by the troops, and nineteen priso ners, drafted • men, together with forty-two stand of arms, were captured." Now, Toni Adams was not a citizen of Clearfield county. lie livid in the adjoining county of Cambria. When the war broke out he enlisted in Co. K, Ist Pennsylvania Rifles, and had abrays been a Republican.. We believe ha staid with his regiment about a year, when he returned to Clearfield, and was employed by .holm M. Chase, (anotlier gund Republkan) to take out,logs., Deserters were at that time coming into Clearfield from all parts of the State, out to the fact of its being a good place to hide. ' When Adams found one of those lie would employ him, thinking ti6t, by so doing, he would render himself much more secure, in ease of an at. tempt being made to arrest him. • When the troops were sent into the county, Adams. and his party concluded to separate and leave, and intended to do so on the day ibllowing which they were - captured. Some twenty of them had assembled at 'Adams' I:louse, and were having a dance when • they were surrouqed, and all' were captured ex cept Adams, who preferred to die, as he ex :pressed, "than, Wit against his ..own con science." . He endeavored to make his escape, but every point was guarded. In attempting to get .out of a window ho Was fired upon, and then fired himieif, killing a -sbitlieri Adams was then fired upon by the whole squad, ten musket balls entering his body. , Of all the other men captured, not one was citizen of Clearfield county. There are other lies in this precious corres pondent's letter, equally barefaced and 'vil lainous, but is not our intention at this time to controvert them. 'What we.have resorted can'be substantiated by the most indubitable .testimonyi The gentleman whO.presided at the 13th of August meeting in Clearfield wilt bear us cintlii all we have said-regarding it. We regard the letter In question as a confes sion of the waning fortune 9 of. Radicalism. The truth, they will find, Is What the people 'desire-, and no such attempts as the above to avoid the real Issues will be of any avaiL Beautiful and Impressive Occasion. We weremnahle to print the speeches on, the occasion of the flag presentation at Gir ard in our last issue, tuid_they arc too good to be omitted, though the clay is rather late for their publication. Below will be found the remarks of 3frs: Olin, presenting the flag, and those of Mr. Arbuckle, receiving it on the part of the Democratic club of Girard: SPEECII OP MRS. amp OLIN To the President of the Girard Democratie C2O: Resmorno Sm :—Upon learning, that it was the, intention of the Members of your or ganization to raise in our village, as emblem atic of your strong devotion to principle and of your endurance while laboring for the tight; a Hickory Pole, the Democratic ladies, - anxious to lend their influence and aid von in your good cause, resolved to procure and pre.sent 'von an American flag, the nation's emblem of Unity; with no star , erased or stripe dishonored. ACeirenlingly the follow ing; a copy of which accompanies the fla g , was subscribed to, and the banner procured: "Being impressed with the importance of the labor to be performed by our husbands, fathers, brothers and sons during the coming campaign, in their attempt to restore the country once again to peace, law, order and Union: the Democratic ladies of Gi rard Borough and Township, give the sums opposite our respective names for the pur chase of an American Ping, to lie presented to the Democratic Club of Girard, honing that in the coming struggle for constitutional liberty they may folle - tv it to victory." In the thlfilling of that pmpote I have been selected to present to you, in their name, these beantiftd Stars and Stripes, accom panied by • words of enoonmgertamt from those, who, while they havo no voice in the direct guidance of political affairs, have hearts Which hdlit mrpensPre to, the' principles of that party whose administrations have ever given to our r homes peace and to our country prosperity-- In the acme of those heroic women : who braved _adversity, and, periled their lives for the Independence of those colonies which these stripes represent; In the name of those mothers, wives and sisters, who sent sons, husbands and brothers to bat tle for the Union of the States, of which those Stars am emblcmaticl and in hope; for com ing peace land 'prosperity for our • distracted land, do.weihdey-present,-yon-this-dear old flag.

Our hearts swell with joy at the high; of that old flag which, to ,the law-abiding Demo cracy, has been for years past a guiding cloud in days of success and joy, and a pillar of fire through nights of darkness and defeat. Never have the nneegtork of 'onr , eleritms par. ty presumed to blot out a brilliant star or erase an original stripe, but with us the meteor flag of 1776 is the banner round which we rally in 1863. In times past, as at present, it has been the etwitinn,Wltert gave men go nut to battle, to' present to them a flag, which shall be the symbol of the nation they repre: sent or the came they defend; and round that flag,, through all the stormy accidents of war, cling the soldier's hope and woman's love: Although the times of war have ceased—al though throughout the land, in peaceful holm; haprtho sheathed sword - and empty musket, and tattered battle flags are in Pear erg', repose for exhibition—yet before us is a war for principle second to no conflict our coun tr7' has ever known. We realize the labor, trials and difficulties before us; and we as auret you, that for year, encogragetnent, we are thankful beyond the power of words to express. - Al we hoist the banner to the top of the good old hickory which we have this day raised in renewal of our adherence to the cause of our choice, we will gather round it, and renew our devotion,. to, the land we love. To-dayilikbanner iS notlfhe: banner of war nor the banner of devastation or de struction, but of brotherly love and peace. This flagiastiVied. -14'the hopes, stirred by the longings, of all men who love liberty and Reptiblican institutions. It will be stirred by every breeze—breezes from the North, South, East and West—until the great breeze of Nov ember next sweeps over the land, proclaim ing that white men stillare free. Each day, brings its better newitlind ficunall directions come the cheering intelligence, that the peo ple's candidates, Seymour and Blair, will be triumphantly elected and the great victory gained. It will not be a victory for East, West, North or South, but a victory for all, a victory for Refrabliemil government, a tory by which, under the guidance of a good God, the Republic of America will be saved. To you it is not given to mingle with voters on election -day, or advocate party claims front the rostrqm or. stump, but, in this enlightened age, men are free to ac knowledge, that the greatest influence is that of woman. Row often does the solemn truth occur to us, are not women the mothers of those who arc in Authority? Instances of woman's power Cover 'the pages of history and illumine all ages. Only one addition can be made to woman's influence. It is this. The power of woman cannot be denied, but above all things, truth beareth the victory. If woman's gentle loVe could but temper the fiery heart of fanaticism among taco, distrac tion would flee freinpur once happy lano,4w and order be restored. With the almighty power of truth, we hope to conquer. In receiving this beautiful flag from your hands, we pledge ourselves to be true to the cause for which you give it to ns,and for the' realization of your hopes shall our efforts be united. The sacred memories which • linger about its folds, and the patriotic deeds which so gloriously cover it, will stimulate us to still greatercxertions E 'till Democratic rule is. regained and theiNntliinee again blessed. with peace, law, order and union.
