    , Broderick's Reply to Bajanaona.
■TUB- LABORING 'MAN TO THE SLATE OWNER.
When, last .winter. Senator Hammond, of
South. Carolina,"alluded to the white laborers
of the North as white slaves, Mr. Broderick
responded: j
.“I, sir, am glad that the senator has spoken
thus, it may have the effect of arousing- in the
.workingmen that Spirit which has been lying
dormant for centuries. It may also have the
-effect of arousing the two hundred thousand
men with-pure skins in South Carolina, who
are now degraded and despised by the thirty
thousand aristocratic slaveholders. It may
teaclTthem to demand what is the power —
‘Linked’ assumed and kept with skill,
• : Tbstt mould; mother's weakness to its will;
with their hands, but, still to them unknown,
."Slakes even their mightiest deeds appear its own/
•;.-i;.Buppo S e, e j r> the senator from South Caro
lina did .not intend to be personal in bis re
marks to any of ins peers upon .this floor. If
i.bad thought so I would have noticed them at
tjib I anv.sir, with one exception, the
xbungeat in j'ears of the senators upon this
liaor.. It is not long since I served an appren
ticeship olf five years at one of the most labo
rious mechanical trades pursued by man—a’
trade that, from its nature, devotes its follower
to thought, but debars him from conversation.
X/vould not have itlluded to this if it were not
idr : lbe remarks of the senator from South Caro
lina; and the thousands who know that I am
th,e son of an artisan, and have been & mechanic,
Would feel disappointed in me if I did not reply
to hint lam not proud of this. lam sorry
it is true. -I would that I could have enjoyed
tbe pleasures of life in my boyhood days ; but
they were denied to me. I say this with pain,
1 have not the admiration for the men of the
class from whence I sprang that might be ex
pected-; they submit too tamely to oppression,
and are prone to neglect their rights and duties
as citizens. But, sir, the class of society to
whose toil I was born, under our form of gov.
ernmeut, will control the destinies of this na
tion. If I wore inclined to forget my connec
tions with them, or to deny that I sprang from
Ihem, this chamber would not be the place in
which I could do either. 'While I hold a seat
here 1 have but too look at the beautiful capi
tals adorning the pilasters that support this roof
to be reminded of my father’s talent, and to see
His handiwork.
“I left the wenes of my youth and manhood
for the ‘-Far "West,’ because I was tired of the
struggles and jealousies of men of my class,
who isonld not understand why one of their
fellowsi should seek to elevate his condition
above the common level. I made my new abode
among strangers, where labor is honored. I
had left without regret; there remained no tie
of blood to bind me to any being iff existence.
Jf I fell in the struggle for reputation and for
tune, there was no relative on earth to mourn
my fall-. The people of California elevated me
to the highest office within their gift. My elec
tion .was not the result of an accident. For
years I had to struggle, often seeing the gaol of
ambition within my reach ; it was again arid
aga : ,1 taken from me by the aid of men of my
orn class. I had not only them to contend
will), but almost the entire partisan press of
my state wasj*ubsidized by government money
ami patronage to oppose my-’ election. I sin
cerely hope, sir, the time will come when such
speeches as that from the Senator from South
Corolirm will bo considered a lesson to the la
borers of the nation.”
The Kansas Question Revived,
Tho 2\'ationul JntclUgencersTeser\bi the dilem
ma in which the Administration will find itself
at the meeting of Congress, as follows:
“The telegraphic reports of tho election re
cently held in Kansas, on the adoption of the
Constitution framed at Wyandotte, announce
that chat instrument has been ratified by a ma
jority of the inhabitants of the Territory. We
may therefore expect that the admission of Kan
sas into ohe Union, under that Constitution,
will bo asked at the hands of Congress, on the
opening of that body at its approaching session.
“It will he remembered, that by the terms of
tho “EnglKh Conference bill,” providing for the
contingent admission of Kansas into the Union
under the Constitution framed at Lecompton, it
was ordained that, in case the people of that
Territory should refuse to accept the arrange
ment then proffered by Congress, they should
not proceed to the formation of a new Constitu-
tion and State Government, preparatory to their
admission into the Union, until after it should
fiave been asceitainod, by a census taken under
the auspices of the Federal Government, that
the Territory contained a population equal to or
greater than the existing ratio of Federal repre
sentation in the House of Representatives.
- -“The propriety of this rule is admitted by
all as a general proposition, but its application
to the case ol Kansas alone, when it was ex
pressly repudiated in the admission of Oregon
at the last session, does not admit of such easy
explanation or justification on tho part of the
Democracy.
‘Tt remains to be seen whether they will ig
nore the “compromises" of the English bill, as
framed by themselves less than two years ago,
or whether they will insist upon a rigid adhere
nce to the terms of the arrangement then con
certed to serve as a graceful retreat from the
L?compton controversy. The question undoubt
edly presents a dilemma which leaves but little
choice between its two horns, and adds another
illustration to tho accumulated teachings by
which history inculcates the advantages of nev
er departing from the straight line of political
justice, to fujlow the tortuous paths of a shift
ing and temporary policy."
Fate of Six John Franklin Determined,
We have-only room for the following extract
from a letter addressed to the English Admir
alty Board by Capt. T. L. McClintock of the
K-iyal Navy, who had command of the yatch
“i ox,” sent out a year or two since by Lady
franklin in search of intelligence of the fate
of her husband, Sir John Franklin. The intel
ligence is gratifying, though it is mournful to
contemplate the fate of that brave party. And
how great is the sorrow of the persevering
but widowed heart of Lady Franklin,
“Their Lordships will rejoice that our endeav
ors to ascertain the fate of the “Franklin Ex
pedition” have met with complete success.
“At Point Victory, upon the north west coast

Thursday Morning, Oct., 20,’59.
Republican ‘Victories.
TIOGA EIGHT SIDE UP-
The Whole County Ticket Elected !
(
*
PENNSYLVANIA ALL RIGHT
FO R 186 0.
30,000 Republican majority!
4000 Majority against “J. B.” the “Favorite
Son" tit 7tis own County.
Indlanap-Gonnectlcnt, Ohio, Kansas,
lowa, Pennsylvania and Minnesota
REBUKE LECOMPTONISM!
We give below a summary of the news from
the late elections as far as received.
CONNECTICUT.
The town elections in Connecticut on last
Monday a week, resulted mote favorably for
the Republicans than ever before. Out of 105
towns beard from, the Republicans were suc
cessful in 63, tke Administration in 85, and in
the balance the result was either divided or did
not depend upon politics. The Republicans
made a net gain of seven towns.
MAINE
which gave a majority to the Democrats in 1855
of some 3,000, has ever since that time given a
Republican majority; and a month ago at the
Fall election gave 11,000 Republican majority.
OHIO,
Ohio has elected a Republican Governor by
about 17,000 majority, and both houses of the
Legislature are decidedly Republican. This is
cheering intelligence because the election of
1857 gave a majority of Democratic members
in both houses, and because the Legislature
just chosen will have a United States Senator
to elect. Gov. Chase ‘ who now retires will
probably be the man. Mr. Pugh who played
the toady to “J. B.” in the effort to cram Le
compton down the throats of unwilling people,
will have to stand back. Buchanan may give
jrim the French 'Ministry, just vacated by the
death of Judge Mason. No doubt be will pro
vide for him as he did for Glancy Jones.
INDIANA.
. This State elected only County Officers ibis
year, but the result is a large Republican gain.
The Popular Sovereignty literature of Douglas
not appreciated so much as some supposed it
jwould be.
MINNESOTA
is this year fairly and squarely on the side of
Free Labor. The latest returns show that the
whole Republican State Ticket is elected by
several'thousand majority. It will be remem
bered that in 1857 the Republicans carried this
State by a small majority, but the Democracy
brought in sufficient returns from the Pembina
Indian District to defeat that vote. The result
then was the election of Rice and Shields as
United States' Senators. The Legislature just
chosen will elect a Republican Senator to take
the place of Shields,.
All honor to Minnesota. :
lOWA.
Tho State of lowa has elected her Governor
and other State officers by large majorities for
the Republicans. Both branches of the Legis
lature are also Republican.
KANSAS.
The Republicans of Kansas have triumphed
in the adoption of a Free State Constitution by
4000 majority. We have a letter from a cor
respondent in that territory giving some details
of the Battle fought for and against that instru
ment, which came too late for insertion this
week.
Last bat not least in this list of victories is
that just gained in
PENNSYLVANIA.
In the whole State the vote was exceedingly
light, not more than two-thirds of the vote of
1850. In this county than half the
vote was out, as, in 1856, Fremont’s majority
was 200 more than the aggregate vote of the
county this Fall. Twenty Thousand Bepubli
can majority in the State is therefore enough to
rejoice over. We have nearly two to one in
both branches of the Legislature, while last
year the Senate was Democratic. We have ten
of the eleven Senators chosen this year. Ben
son’s majority in this District, cannot fall short
of 2500.
It must be very gratifying to the friends of
Buchanan that though that gentleman was
present in the Democratic city of Lancaster all
day, that city repudiated him by a large major
ity for Cochran and Keim, and and the County
honored his presence in it by a majority of
4000 against the nominees of his office holder’s
Convention held in March last.
Although Tioga County showed once more
her unwavering fidelity to Freedom and .free
labor, by the election of her entire ticket, yet
THE TIOGA CLOUNTY AGITATOR.
it was not as good as ittbughtto be, as it might
have been with scarcely any .-effort. We shall
refer hereafter"to the vote of this County and
help our readers to gather from it a lesson for
future remembrance. ) ~
Dr. Chase, editor of thej Towanda Her
ald, and Post Master of that place; sets up a
lugubrious whine oyer the fact that only ten
cents—ten solitary pennies, some of them an
cient copper coins, perhaps.— found their way
into the “Contribution Box for the Wosbington
Monument,” hanging up in said Dr. Chase’s
post office, during the entire thirty days which
composed the late departed month of Septem
ber!' "Is not this a burning shame?” Hosts
the Doctor with patriotic emotion. We think
it is. Only ten cents. Just think of itl Ten
cents—the same sum which D|. Chase’s Master
“J. B." proposed as an equivalent for a labor
ing man’s work for one day| This "lack of
genuine' patriotism” on the part of the.people
of Towanda, must be very disastrous to tho
patriotic enterprise in question. We would not
be sft all surprised if tho news of this “lack of
genuine” etcetera, on the part of tho Towandi
ans would cause the abandonment of the idea
of building tbe proposed monument. In such
an exigency what would become of your “mag
nanimous offering,” or “miserable pittance,”
(for Dr. Chase calls it by botn of these names)
oh, Towandians ? What, we ask, would become
of the Ten Cents ? . . |
But we can see Goon in everything. If we
are to believe what the doctor says, oh, Towan
dians your lack of patriotism fcansed his “cheeks
to tingle.” Wo are glad the Doctor is able to
blush for you, if not for himself. “Let every
one,” says Dr, Chase, “contribute something
each month.” Exactly so; and in view of this
suggestion, allow us to aski Was it you, Dr.
Chase, who put in than Try Cents ? In con
clusion, we advise the contribution man to hang
up the box somewhere else, and try it for Oc
tober.

FROM THE PEOPLE.
IFor the Agitator,
nize?
Republicans of Tioga; A few short weeks
will find us in the midst of mother Presidential
campaign. Our friends in most sections of the
[country are fast making ready for the coming
jcontest, and shall we here put off all prepara
tion until the eleventh hour ? The moral grand
eur of the battle of 1800 ha i not been surpassed
since the dark hours of the Revolution. The
issue then to ho decided by the votes of this
country will not only affect this but generations
to come.
By chance I overheard a conversation be
tween two leading Demounts, but a few days
since. They were referingto the unprecedented
vote given for Fremont in 1856, and confident
they were that wa never t gain poll a vote like
that. In their opinion, our love for the cause
we then professed had waxed cold, when the
excitement attending the election bad passed
away; that our party of necessity would be
short lived because we "had no distinctive prin
ciples”—that already many of the Republicans
of ’56 had become lukewarm, and felt sure that
they would follow the nominee of the Charles
ton Convention. Republicans, are the above
assertions true ? Have w; forgotten the great
truths enunciated in the Philadelphia Platform ?
Have we become dead to 1 10 noble principles of
the Declaration of Indepmdenee ? Have'we
lost our love of Freedom ? Have we made up
our minds to let our Sou them friends control
every department of government in their own
way ? Have we become convinced that Chattel
Slavery is right,—that ou - fellow beings who
are only guilty of having a complexion differing
from our own have no rig its which white men
are hound to respect f In diort that during the
hard fight of 1856, we were laboring for an
ephemeral principle ? On the reverse, is there
a Republican in Tioga cc unty who loves free
dom less than he did ? Is not the cause of hu
man right as dear to every one of us ? Have
we seen anything to convince us that it is eith
er right or expedient to extend human slavery
throughout the entire length and breadth of
our country ? Does not the interest of the free
laboring men of our country demand its restric
tion? Shall our National Territories be conse
crated to freedom or slavery 1 Shall that vast
domain lying between the Mississippi and the
Pacific be converted into a mighty slave-pen, or
shall it be kept open for the free laborer ?
Shall slavery become National, and consequent
ly go wherever our flag may go .throughout all
future time? Shall the government, founded
by the trials and blood of the revolution bo rec
ognized among other nations as one, whose
people believed in the justice of human slavery ?
Shall we have a national slave code for the pro
tection of this accursed traffic in onr Territo
ries? Shall the slave oligarch be allowed to
travel, throughout the free North with bis hu
man property without molestation? Shall tho
African slave trade-be re-opened with its attend
ant train of horrors 1 Fellow citizens of. Tioga,
I press these questions upon you in sincerity?
Once more we must make our record against
this moss,damning wrong. Once more we shall
be called upon to help stay tbe march of this
system which lives only by tyranny, outrage
and wrong. . And where shall we be found in
the coming struggle ?' In 1856' we nobly did
onr duty. Our record is before the world.—
Then we proudly bore the banner from the field.
But, you.,will remember that our noble victory
was gained only by incessant labor. Then we
labored ,as one man for tbe final triumph of onr
cause. If we would give the great vote we then
gave, we must once more take off our coats, roll
our sleeves up, and go to work in earnest. • la
bor will only accomplish it. Nothing worthy
of men has. ever been done without labor. Now
is tbe time to commence.
Let every Republican feel and act as though
the success of onr cause depended upon their
individual efforts. Reposing upon past victor
ies will only insure defeat in the future. Let
6u.' clubs be set in motion. Let us not put.off
until to-morrow what can far better he done to
day. -Let us ‘ once more to tho breach. Let
meetings be held and documents circulated
among tho people exposing the wickedness and
double dealing of the present, so called, Demo
cratic party. Where shall the ball commence
rolling? In what township shall the first Re
publican club be organized 1 Who will begin
the work?' Frank.
Middlebury, Oct. 17, 1859. i
Are they recorded in the archives of this
Boro ? Then what are they ? Where are they ?
Who made them ? What guided the surveyors ?
Did they stick stakes, mark trees, set stones ;
or pray, how shall a man tell when he is in or
out of this city of refuge ? We suppose there
are means | of discovering the true answers to
all these questions. But the writer of this ar
ticle has never sounded the depths of that phi
losophy which guided our fathers in bounding
this village as they did. We presume it was
all right at the time. But New York City has
been obliged from time to time to enlarge the
bounds of its corporation ; so has Philadelphia;
Brooklyn and Germantown are no longer sub
urbs ; and we think there are some very import
ant reasons why the borders of Wellsboro should
be enlarged also. All these things are governed
by public opinion. The writer would not be a
true American not to be willing in all such mat
ters to be governed by the majority. But if
this general sentiment fairly expressed would
require these boundaries to remain where they
are, which we doubt, then should we claim the
right of the private citizen at any time when
aggrieved to appeal from the king mal-informed
to the king well informed.
The boundary we now propose for the sake
of convenience and utility, is a perfect circle,
extending one mile in every direction from the
ccntre-stono, For convenience of finding the
lino we may as well have it thus as in any
quadrangular, figure. For convenience of ad
joining farms, or taxation of property also, it
may as well bo in a circular shape, for any ju
dicious surveyor would find it very difficult to
run the line of the Boro according to the lines
of adjoining farms. They do not so run now.
Farm lines are constantly changing by changing
proprietors, and the taxation list can as well he
adjusted to the line of a perfect circle two miles
in diameter as by any other arbitrary line.
Now for the reasons requiring some such en
largement of the Boro.
1. Tor school purposes. Ever since the in
corporation of the Bdro, families living within
about this distance of the Boro, but outside the
present contracted limits have paid their school
taxes to Dclmar and Charleston—taxes nearly
double the school taxes of Wellsboro, but have
had no benefit therefrom in the education of
their children. Until within a few months no
compromise has been made between the Direct
ors of ad joining districts and the Boro, to school
their children in the village. The present ar
rangement is liable to be disturbed by every
succeeding board of Directors. Parents are
therefore obliged to pay school tax and then
seek a school for their children where none of
that tax is applied in payment for their educa
tion, but instead thereof pay tuition bills, as no
adjoining district, select sohool'or academy can
afford to teach them for nothing. This is, of
course, a double taxation, How so many citi
zens residing in the vicinity of Wellsboro have
been so long content with this double taxation
is a question deserving some consideration.—
Give them credit for being pretty good natured
also. Consider also what a good school, the
year round, could be maintained if all the
scholars within one mile were turned into it.—
Not far from two hundred scholars' would thus
be congregated under one roof. Four grades,
or-departments could be kept upfwith teachers
adapted to each. And if the school-house was
built as it should be, all these scholars would
be seated on one floor, and that floor though di
vided into four rooms, capable of being thrown
into one room by the adjustment of folding
doors, thus adapting it for chapel, or other pub
lic and common exercises, without a single
scholar leaving his seat. But this article has'
already grown larger than we intended for all
we had to say on this subject of the enlarge
ment of our Boro. The importance of the sub
ject always grows in our estimation, the more
we think of it, and with your permission, Mr.
Editor, we will try to develop our views to any
who will take the trouble to read them.

A NEW DEMOCRATIC GAME.
linen Young, Esc. Dear Sir; Please per
mit me to give yon-a synopsis of the doings of
the Mulatto-Democrats and how they tried to
bamboozle and hutnbng voters at the late elec
tion. Well sir, the leaders, (or those who would
like to be considered leaders, just as they like
to be thought the brains) of the party in Lib
erty assembled at the polls quite early, armed
with all kinds of tickets in order to deceive Re
publican voters into voting for men they de
spise. Their plan was this: A few days before
election, they received a package of tickets from
Wellsboro having the names of L. P. Williston
and J. J. Werline printed on them aa the reg
ular nominees of the Republican Party. When
these would-be leaders would meet with a Ger
man Republican they would ask him “Don’t
you want a ticket with Williston’s nameonit?"
If he said “yes,” then they would hand him
one of the Williston and Wcrlinc tickets, and

thus surreptitiously smuggle a vote into the
balk t box for Jack Werline! Talk about ballot
box stuffing in New York and San Francisco!
Ballot-stuffing is getting to be an established
democratic principle, and in the country it only
lacks the means and the muscle to be quite as
popular as in the cities above named. But to
proceed.
It: was well understood, of course, that every
snehl vote smuggled into the ballot-box forWer
line under cover of WilHston’s name, was one
less for Lewis Mann. A few Republicans were
deceived in this way. I think not over twenty
four. How proud Mr. Jack Werline must be
of his majority over Lewis Mann more than
his majority oyer Williston in this township!
But besides tlie Willisfcon and Werline ticket
dodge,.they had several other dodges. They
had tickets with Werline and Smith on them;
and another ticket with Werline's name alone,
as perhaps, they were ashamed of the übiqui-l
tous John Smith. At any rate the mulatto
democrats qf this town did not care much
whether John Smith (whose name they thought
to lie very suspicious,) was defeated or not, so
they could only elect Wcrline. That was their
great drive, and I shall be greatly surprised if
Wcrline has any more votes in this county
whcjre he is known than the Sfaamocratic State
Ticket.
