Spicy Letter from' North East. '
NORTH EAST, PA., Aug. 25, 1809. .
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." The Radicals
place most ok• their reliance for carrying on
the campaign in the city upon the new or
ganisation, which is moulded after the Wide
Awakes, "and of which Gen. IL L. Brown
is the "high cock , tt-lortuts.ll- -An effort is to
be made to entrap the young men With s

for the event are beinixuade. The Radicals
propose to hold n llass.lifeeting in the city

rangements have'been made, tvlthont -any

thus Misrepresented. •
I see it anpraineed that Demosthenes Sco
field intends to stump every election district
hi Erie County. 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..
Swazi, a brave soldier from Erie Co., and one
who is now suffering from a life wound from
ibicls he will never recover,:and,,Which he'
got in defending the flag of his country dur
ing the late •Behellion—and, being disabled
thereby, ail - died for the appointment of V-
S. revenue collector at Eric, and also, why it
is, that no soldier has been the recipient of
any favors from him when -they applied for
One, and yet he, Seotield, can be so loval'and
so good a friend of the soldier, especially
about the time he wants a re-election.
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. Wilson, has

IVAMFORD, Aug. 22, 1868.
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

Who promises, to'Obtairi considerable' repitta 7 ,

were concluded by the speech of WED. A.

unexcelled style, held the vast audience for
over an hour perfectly delighted, The speak

the whole time, and made hostS'a frlenil.4 by
their gentlemanly way of discussing the
itticitions:of • the. day. 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. The
Democracy of this plaice may eongiattilate
themselves on the success which lots attended
their efforts. You shill hear from the again,

-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

to be omitted, though the clay is rather late
for their publication. Below will be found

and those of Mr. Arbuckle, receiving it on the

,11F.SPONSE OF (1. W. liimucm,r., EN
Dituocn.C•ric LADIES :—ln the name of the
President and members of der 01ub,,1 return
to yeti the: 4fisit kart-telfrthatfl4t :of all.
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
