'" . . . 1~ ME Loyal and Disloyal. redeeming : trait in the most intelligent glassof Copperheads, is the fact that they feel sensitive at havinc , their detestable -treason exposed to the public.: One gentleman, who has a warm side for Jeff Davis, Seymour and his "‘frieirds,"- et id '-genus ontrie,"thiaks our statement that ve the Curtin is the candidate of the loyal men Of the State, implies that Judge Woodward is the can-, didate of . the disloyal men of the State. That is exactly what we mean to assert without any implication whatever. We' are brit irr the habit of innendoes. or. insinuations. We endeavor to state plainly what we mean, and we mean, , that Judge' Woodward is not loyal him- self anti that those ~who placed him in . notnination•did Trot intend to nominate a loyal man. They would, not vote for a l loyal Man if Such' had, by any accident been nominated. That's what we mean. The organ' of the traitors for this county, - says .that because we call that sterling union paper, the Harrisburg Telegiafih, loyal, we endorse the follow ing from that paper, which, the traitor organ says is treasonable. "If we do not hnrmonize our differences and concentrate all our forces, the enemies of the Government will pucceed in electing Wood ward, a result to belestimated as more disastrous to the cause of the .country than the defeat of Meade by Lee. Indeed, it would have peen far better to allow Lee to penetrate Pennsylvania and establish himself in Harrisburg, than to al low 'Woodward to succeed at the ballot-box, and then be Inaugurated Governor of the State." We never saw this in the Telegraph, and, from the bad character of the paper which quotes it, cannot be sure that our Harrisburg friend is entitled to the cred it of it. But, as the old lady said its meeting: "that friend speaks my mind exactly.", The case is not drawn a par tide too strong. It is every word true. We will Five some reasons for our state- I merits, wbich may be considered strong, by some.l In the, first place, if Lee had taken Harrisbiirm, he could not, with all the CopperOad assistance in the State,— aided by Gov. Seymour and his "frieads," have held it but a short time, and his army would, beyond a doubt, have been totally annihilated. That evil would have been temporary; whereas, if Judge Woodward should be elected Governor, that would be placing in power an elle , my to thei war, an enemy to free institu tions, an enemy to the'Goverement and enemy to the Union. This would be for three years, and the mischief he might and would;probably, do, could not berem• edied in al generation. We have said that Judge 'Woodward is an enemy to free institutions. This is shown by his own mouth. He is a cool, calculating aristocrat, despising the poor, and the laboring man. He believes that a poorsoldier who fights in the ranks, should not, be allowed to vote • that labor ing men should be slaves, and that:cer tain elasseS were born to be luds of the lash, to for'ce others to labor. For the proof of this we appeal to the record. . Before the commencement 3f the slave driver's rebellion,Judge Woodward made f. : speech.inlndependence Square in Phil adelphia This speech he revised and published in ,pamphlet form, as a deli!)= erate exposition of his views. On page 11 of thht pamphlet, the author says : "The world cannot live without cotton and cotton can only be raised under the eye, of a master, or overseer." If this be true, it follows as a natural sequence, that Slavery is a necessity, and a demand of nature and nature's God. On page 12; he hays "Negro Slavery is an incalculable blessing." This terrible Wa r is one of the blessings negro . slavery has brought upon us. It is for slavery and its perpetuity ;- for the establishment of - an empire . or monarchy, the chief corner stone of which shall be human boodage,..that rebellion is carried on. Judge Woodward directly approves, sanctions and advises this war for slavery. On pale 4 of the pamphlet speech, we find the follimin , words: "It seems that there mast be a time when slaveholders may fall back upon their natu ral rights and employ in defence of their slave property whatever means of protection they possess or can command:' . . None but an enemy of his country and a traitor at heart, would thus, at the com mencement of a rebellion, take sides agaihst his country :and in favor of the rebels, thew reasons why they should continue in their rebellion. But this was .followed on. page 13, by still bolder treaSeo, wbeii be exhorts his hear- ers as follows • "Rise and reassert the rights of the Slave holders," and adds "human bondage and pro:per t)/ in man is divinely sanctioned, if not divinely ordained.'.' In the. same speech, he, distinctly avows'hfrosalfin favor of a - DISSOLUTION OF THE. UNION. , On.page 14, he says : "We hear it said, let the South go peace ably. I SAT LET HER poPEACCABLY." Now we have taken Judge Woodward's own record to answer 'the sensitive gen tleman and the traitor organ.

COUDERSPORT, POTTER COUNTY, PA., WEDNESDAY,' SEPTEMBER 9, 1.863: plead, no constitutional obligation for such a man. He boldly discards the Consti tution and "the. Union. He . distinctly advises a DISSOLUTION OF THE UNION. Every vote cast for this win is cast for a disloyal •candithite.. - There may be men, honest and ignorant, who will vote the Copperhead ticket, under the impressien that it is a loyal ope ; but it is a vote for a traitor's ticket. The Issue should be fairly drawn. Gov. Cur tin is unflinchingly for the Union ; _ Judge Woodward is for a dissolution, and says the slaveholders are right this fight Loyal and disloyal are the two parties in the field. Let the honest men of the country know the issue.— West Branch NOW FOR THE FACTS. Comparisons are said to be 'odious. They are so, in many cases, without doubt Any OCII) parisous instituted, serving to show the shameful backward ness% and the begrudging generosity of the Copperhead democracy in coming to the support of the Government in its hour of trial, must be odious to that trai torous clan. Bat the facts relating to the conduct of - political organizations in this emergency,- as well as of individuals, belong to history. - And we g ive fair' notice that, on our part, we shall proceed; to probe that grievous wound to the bot tom, not extenuating, and setting nothing, down in malice. We charge upon the Copperhead de mocracy of the North, that it has system atically withheld an earnest and propor tionate support of the Governmedt during. the darker days, of this war, in the es sentials of men and money. Gov. Seymour has written several let ters to the President, asking him to sus pend the draft, for several reasons. In the first place the Governor alleges un fairness in the enrollment, by which the districts in which Copperheadism is the ruling power, the draft will fall. more heavily, than in the rural districts,'where loyal men preponderale. In the next place, he thinks the drafting law uncon stitutional, asks that its operations be sus pended until the Supreme Court can decide it. Now the draft will fall most heavily, according to the population, upon the districts that have failed to furnish their quotas under the several calls for troops heretofore ; atid none but a fool or a trai tor will growl at such a simple operation of the common rules of arithmetic. A paper published at Utica, the hytne Gov. Seymour. compiles a tabuldr stated went from the last repo - rt of the Adju- I tont-General of that State,. showin7 the number of troops furnished 'under the President's call for troops of July 2, 1862, by every, county in the State, together with the excess or deficiency in ,each county. It then classifies the counties in accordance with the majority each gave last fall, whether fur Seymour or Wads worth. The result is this 36 Republican counties, with a population of 1,620,647, rais ed, under that call, 43,185 volunteers. 24 Seymour counties, with a population of 3,249,060, rais ed, under that call, 42,142 volunteers. Excess in favor of Rep. connties, 1,043 Deficiency iu the Republican .Counties, above, 3,336 Deficiencies in the Seymour counties, above, _ 24,142 Of this deficiency in the . Beymour counties, 18,623 is charged-to New York City, where Seynaour had a majority. of 31,776: and in tke counties where his majorities were heaviest, there was. the heaViest deficiency in volunteers tinder that call. it will thus be seen, thot ij the Seyntour counties „kail as fully' re-, spnnded to the call for volunteers as did the loyal counties, 17oratio Seymour would not now be Governor of the State of Hew York. But lest some may declare it unfair to base the number of volunteers furnished by the respective - counties on the entire population, we submit the arnm.bearing population of the counties as above clan• elfiedi froth the record Arms-bearing men in the Sey mour counties, 520,523 , Arms.bearing men in th 6 loy al counties, 329,449 Yet the loyal counties, with an arms bearing population 191,079 less than the Seymour counties, sent 1.043 more vul- unteers to the field under the last sum nor call for troops ! And this unim. peachable record we hand over to our readers•, that with its facts they may si lence the loud-boasting, pretentious Cop perheads in their respective localities Let us now turn to home matters. We have no doubt at all that the late report of the Adjutant General• of this State Would furnish statistips fully as damning to Copperheadistn. That Report, how ever, has not been furnished us. But we intend to ferret out the facts concern- l ino. this •matter, and lay them l:;eibre our readers at the earliest possible tawaeat. But there are some records which can 'be'•brought to light, ',and which:convict ourlocalcopperheads of backwardness in the matter of r sustaining the Governwent in its extreniity. We turn to those records. It will . be - remembered ~that Tioga County last summer borrewed about $20,000, for the laudible and patriotic purpose of paying btiuuties to volunteers. It will be remembered that' it was in tended to make it a strictly popularloan•; that is—that the bonds should be taken by the people of the county. It; was in- tended to enable eyery:hian with 'surplus means ,to do something for the GoVern.. ‘ ment, yet not as a free gift. pn the ion trary,the accommodation was to berepaid. with use at 7 per cent. The loan WaS - not a risk, becausett was made a lien on every farm, with its' stock, every .- manufactory with its good will and capital; .in short,[ it was, a lien on every dollar's worth of taxable property in Tioga county. •It would be repaid. No man of good sense and judgment doubted that. Now there can be blit two excuses for not investing • iti that loan i—want ofi funds, or want of patriotism. We basic ,examined the list of subscribers with care, l and if any one chooses to do the like he [will be-able to'verify what we are about Ito say ; and that -is, that in all "that long • list of subscriber's to the s2o,6oo l co . unty loan, we do not find the name of even ONE of the prominent or leading Cop perhead democrats qf this county; and on the best information that we call gain, I not $lOOO of that loan was taken' by in. dividuals belcnying to that party: Now there'arc some coincidences rare and curious in human affairs ;. and some may allege that these same Copperhead leadersand followers were,- each and all out of funds during the months chat the loan was in the market. But we incline sironfzi; to suspect that this failure of.Gopperheads to step for ward and aid in ralsing troops, arose from their secret,sympathy with traitors in arms. Loyal reader, what is your opinion V Tioga Agitator - • is rf FAIR 7—Three Supreme Court Judges-Lowrie, Woodward and Strong —decided that Pennsylvania soldiers in the field should not vote. This question of soldiers voting, is 'to be considered this year and next, by the people and the Leg islature.

Now, is it right—is it legal—is it in accordance with a delicate sense of honor —for these two men to haVe a .chance to sit in judgment on thei: own decisison ? to desire again to take the power , from our brave men saffering, in our behalf?l to ask positions 'to nullify the popular! will ?

DEAR SIN. :—lnt answer to Your inqui: iry, my opinion is that the payment 'of the/ $3OO commutation! and the furnishing a substitute have precisely the Same 'effeot: Either of them frees the draftett. mad from futther draft fot three years.', Hd is in effect in service,, either ,by himself' or another. The payment of $3OO makes the government his - agent to primate a , substitute. The government has con: sented to act, as such agent.: The law% says he may "on o 1 before the day fixed I fur his appearance furnish au aceePtabld substitute, or pay such Sum not exceed: ing $3OO for the procuration of such sub. stituie, and thereupon the person fur: nishing the substitute, or paying thd nzonell, shall be discharged from furthet liability under that draft." No one doubts that furnishing asUbstitute elouses fot three years. To giv'e a diffetent effect td the payment of the commutation seems to me little less than an'absurOty.
