    To the Young Men of Tioga.
, Tbe lime has come when your services are
heeded by your country. Freedom is in dan
ger of being annihilated by the usurpations
of the slave oligarchy, and are you prepared
to arrest its progress by fighting against the
greatest moral, social, and political curse that
ever afflicted and disgraced any nation ? W A
now stand in precisely the same position that
our fathers stood in *76 and will we not fight
for the self-evident truths “that all men are
created equal,” and show ourselves worthy
descendants of our revolutionary sires I The
old political parties have proved insufficient
to combat successfully wilh that hydra-headed
monster —human slavery, and on "the Re
publicans" devolves the duly of restricting
its devastating footsteps. Believing that the
extension of the area of slavery, is an egregious
wrong, and wholly uncalled for, will you
march up to (he ballot box in a solid phalanx,,
to oppose it? Discard “old parly ties,” and
"time honored usages," aod devote yourselves
unceasingly to this good work, and the vic
tory is ours. The professional wire-pullers,
will no doubt exhort you to “slick to the par
ly aod save (he union,” but in reply just re
mind (hem that the Fugitive Slave Law and
Nebraska Bill, were passed by northern
doughfaces, endeavoring to “save the union”
by “sticking to the party,” and that freedom
has lost quite enough by tbe masses listening
to the milk and water arguments and sophis
tical pleadings of thirsting office-seekers.
Names are nothing s, but all consists in prin
ciple. Cheerfully extend the right hand of
fellowship to all that will fearlessly avow their
sentiments in opposition to (he farther ad
vancement of the Southern Aristocracy, but
spare no pains to give the pro slavery propa
gandists a political death I Slavery is uni
versally acknowledged to be the all-absorbing
question of (he day ; in truth il is the only
question of importance at issue with the
American people. The pro slavery men are
awake and determined to make Kansas and
Nebraska slave states, and are we a going to
look quietly do, and see that paradise portion
of America wrested from freedom and trans
ferred to the Black Power! God forbid that
such may be the case 1 But we have a hard
battle to fight, and hard work can only ac
complish our object. The present excitement
cannot die away until this vexed question is
settled. Depend upon it, (he north has quiet
ly gave away as long as she will, and the
south will find doughfactsm decidedly on (he
wane before the next Presidential campaign.
Itoughfaceism has had its day, and may its
followers receive the doom that in justice
awaits-them. May their political graves be
covered wilh the anathemas of an outraged
people, and their names branded with infamy
and placed alongside other distinguished trai
tors to their count:-,.
Every individual has an influence and it is
important that that influence should be ex
erted m the right direction. Unity of action
sod a fusion of the anti-slavery masses, will
as surely accomplish our object as that Frank
Pierce and his miserable hirelings have meri
ted the maledictions of a betrayed people.
Editor Agitator :—1 notice in the Eagle
that vour Brother, 1 mean editorially, of that
sneei is making strong efforts to elect his fa
vorite Mr. Lathrop. 1 commend him for it,
ior n is a well known maxim that any man
siictung industriously lo his peculiar business,
will make a living and finally gel rich. 1 re
loice lo see him mlem on the main chance
and nape lie will be lonunale in getting his
pay lor all his labors of love. I presume,
however, the pay does not depend on the re
mit of this election, —the Col. is too cunning
to be caught in such a trap. He knows too
well that if he is to wan and lake n out of
Austin’s fees, ihe lime ol payment would be
100 fur ahead tor alt practical purposes. No
si;, the mono is “pay down beat or no beat.”
'i nut is ihe true principle, Candidates must
run all the risk—not the poor primers. Well,
i r he is beat, he can pay, for he has one year !
more ol spoils in Ihe Commissioners office,
which he is 100 wise lo refinquish for the mis
erable chance he has for the Sheriffalty ; (or
trom the best infoimaniion I can gel, every
ooov and his neighbor is going to vote for
Mather-
Co.. Magill seems lo intimate that Math
ers ought no; to be elected, because he has
once had the office three years. Why, my
dear Sir, that's the very reason he is so pop
uior—me people have tried him ilhey know him.
tic never oppressed the poor. He never hur
ried mailers for the purpose of increasing
cos. He never connived with hungry spec
ulators to sacrifice a poor man’s farm. He
never prevented a settlement of an execution,
tvnen ever the free gift of all his cost could
urine i. about. Didn't he pay a debt due
irom a poor man, out of his own pocket, and
run his risk of its being repaid, when a ra
pacious creditor would not give another day
on the execution
John Mathers will be elected Sheriff by a
large majority, probably one thousand—lt
should be two thousand. The people ought
most emphatically to endorse the kind, lenient
and disinterested course of Mr. Mathers when
tie had the office before. There are reasons,
strong, urgent reasons, why these endorse
ments should be made known.
It is intimated in the Eagle that Mr. Math
ers made thre thousand dollars a year out of
•tie ofTice. It is no such thing ; his receipts
"ere not fi teen hundred dollars a year. He
might have mdde this by pursuing a cut
tnroai course, by playing the hard-hearted
exacting, cost making, cost loving officer.
Fellow citizens, did John Mathers do this ?
Fha ne ever oppress 1 Did he ever try to
increase his costs I Poor debtors, did not
J onn Mathers in every instance try to help
you out of your difficulties 1 Did he not con
trive for you various ways and means to pre
vem the sacrifice of your property ? Can
a "y T 1 ® 11 ' a y his hand on his heart, and say
i at he has even a remote suspicion that John
Mathers while Sheriff ever did an unkind act.
Mr. Magtll says the office is now worth
three thousand dollars a year. If it i B , glve
the three thousand dollars a year to John
Mathers, Who better deserves it? He did’-
nt make much out of it before { if it is worth
wore now, he ought to be rewarded with it
lor showing himself a true man when he bad
‘1 before.
Fellow citizens, let us swell up John Math
t,! majority (y Iwo thousand, and Ihu* show
that we can. appreciate and reward a good
officer. Let every-man when b* pnta in bis
ticket 'bee for himself that it is spelt' john
matbbbs, and tlien he’ll know that be is vo
ting for “tbe old sheriff." .

Williamson.—At a meeting lately held in
Philadelphia, a friend of Passmore William
son said.
“What the judges demand is, that Mr. Wil
liamson forswear himself. This he cannot
do. His return to tbe writ is simple and nb.
solute truth, and he cannot change it without
proving false tu his own soul. I know him
well. He would not willingly prolong the
contest which is keeping him from his wife,
aod children, and business, and the comforts
of his peaceful home. He does not wish to
appear to his friends as he does to his ene
mies, wilful, pragmatical and stubborn, but be
will neither bend or break before the rod of
the tyrant; and as for changing his answer
to the writ, I give you his own words, when
I say he will ‘neither dot an i, nor cross a"
The readers of Mncauley's History of
England, have noticed the following brief par
agraph : “If an English Sovereign were
NOW TO IMMURE A ftUEJECT OF THE WHIT OF
Habeas Corpus, the whole nation would
be instantly electrified by the news.”
Why so? because such a sovereign would act
tyrannically against the Constitution and laws
of the nation. But Judge Kane has done this
very thing.
An old customer named Ami, going home
rather light mistook the house, and finally
began to doubt his own identity, and began
soliloquizing ihus : “Am I Ami or am I not

AYERS PILLS,
Anew and singularly successful remedy for the
cure of all Bilious diseases —Costiveness, Indi
gestion, Jaundice, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Fevers,
Gout, Humors, Nervousness, Irritability, Inflamma
tions, Headache, Fains in the Breast, Side, Back,
and Limbs, Female Complaints, &c. &c. Indeed,
very few are the diseases in which a Purgative Medi
cine is not more or less required, and much sick
ness and suffering might be prevented, if a harm
less but effectual Cathartic were more freely used.
No person can feel well while a costive habit of
body prevail# j besides It soon generates serious aud
often fatal diseases, which might ha\c been avoided
by the timely and judicious use of a good purgative.
This is alike true of Colds, Feverish symptoms, and
Bilious derangements. They all tend to become or
produce the deep seated and' formidable distempers
which load the ncarscs all ot cr the land. Hence a
reliable family physic is of the first importance to
the public health, and this Pill has been perfected
with consummate to meet that demand. An.
extensive trial of its virtues by Physicians, Profes
sors, and Patients, has shown results surpassing
any thing hitherto known of any medicine. Cures
have been effected beyond belief, were they not sub
stantiated by persons of such exalted position and
character as to forbid the suspicion of untruth.
Among the many eminent gentlemen who have
testified m favor of these Pills, we may mention:
Du. A. A. lIaYKS, Analytical Chemist, of Boston,
and State Assayer of Massachusetts, whose high
professional character is endorsed by the
Hok. Edward Everett, Senator of the U. 8.
Rohhkt C. Wi.vthhop, Ex-Speaker of the House
if Representatives.
Ahhott Lawrence, Minister Plcn. to England,
t John B. Fir/,p mucK, Cath. Bishop of Boston.
Also, Dk. J. U. Chii.ton, Practical Chemist, of
New York City, endorsed by
Hon. W. L. Marcy, Secretary of State.
Wm. B, Astor, the richest man in America.
8. Lelanu & Co., Propr’s of the Metropolitan
Hotel, and others.
Did space pernfh, we could give manv hundred
certificates, from all parts where the rills have
been used, but evidence even more convincing than
the experience of .eminent public men is found in
their effects upon trial.
These Pills, the result of long investigation and
study, are offered to the public os the best and
most complete which the present state of medical
science can afford. Thcv arc compounded not of
the drugs themselves, but of the medicinal virtues
only of Vegetable remedies, extracted by chemical
process in a state ot purity, and combined together
in such a manner ns to insure the l>est results. This
system of composition for medicines has been found
in tho Cherry Pectoral and Fills both, to produce a
more efficient remedy than had hitherto been ob
tained bv anv process. The reason is perfectly ob
vious. While by the old mode of composition, every
mepicino is burdened with more or less yf acT }"
monious and injurious Qualities, by this each indi
vidual virtue only that is desired for the curative
effect is present All the inert aud obnoxious qual
ities of each substance employed arc left behind, the
curative virtues only being retained. Hence it is
self-evident the effects should prove as they hare
proved more purely remedial, and the Pills a surer,
more powerful antidote to disease than any other
medicine known to the world.
As it is frequently expedient that my medicine
should be taken under the counsel of an attending
Physician, and as he could not properly judge of a
remedy without knowing its composition, 1 have
supplied the accurate Fonntihc hi uhich both my
Pectoral and Pills arc made to the whole body of
Practitioners in the Vnitcd States and British Amer
ican Provinces. If. however, there should be any
one who has not received them, they will be
promptly forwarded by mail to his address.
Of all the Patent Medicines that arc offered, how
few would be taken if their composition was known !
Their life consists in their mystery. 1 have no
mysteries.
The composition of my preparations is laid open
to all men, and all who arc competent to judge on
the subject freely acknowledge their convictions of
their intrinsic merits. The Cherry Pectoral was
pronounced by scientific men to be a wonderful
medicine before its effects were known. Many em
inent Physicians have declared the same thing nf
my Pills, and even more confidently, and are will
ing to certify that their anticipations were more
Hum rcali/ed by their effects upon trial.
They operate by their powerful influence on the
Internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate It
into healthy action remove tho obstructions of
the stomach, bowels, liver, aud other organs of tho
body, restoring their irregular action to health, and
by correcting, wherever they exist, such derange
ments as are the first origin of disease
Being sugar wrapped they ore pleasant to take,
and being purely vegetable, no harm can arise from
their use in any quantity.
