WEDNESDAY,j NOVEMBER' 2ff, ISS3.
THE DOTS- OF FREEMEN “XNTHE 1 '
When the-Goths and Scythian barbarians of
ancient times "achieved great victories pyjr
their more enlightened enewies-fhey gave (hern- *
selves up to rapine and feasting. unlilihey.hß
came -demoralized; and ofttimos fell a prey to
some well, directed. onslaught of their beaten,
foe. These barbarians were men of great
prowess, but seldom ■ knew how to convert' vic
tory into’ a-permanent success. Bnt for this
defect in their war policy Rome had lived
fewer centuries in history.. This weakness in
the barbarian was her strength for many
years. *
Lot us be taught by history. The loyal men
of Tioga have achieved a great, a signal victo
ry, over the enemies of free Government.
Bat victory is of no worth unless it result m
permanent and increasing success. Over
whelming. majorities may he made a source of
strength, or weakness, as- they to whom they
accrue may choose.
Is it not aVfect that the. war between Right
and Wrong is as old as history, and will rage
while, the earth is man’s dwelling-place.
There can be no lasting concord between
conflicting principles; Either one or the other
will be guilty of aggression; and strife mnst
ensue.
Therefore, let ns look the present full in the
face, and reading its solemn lesson, prepare
ourselves' for the inevitable struggles which
await us in the future.
We soy among ourselves that Copperhead
ism is annihilated. -Think a moment: -Was
Lucifer and his fallen hosts annihilated by the
crowning victory of Michael ? No.
The foes of mankind ns well as of the Gov
ernment, ore beaten, cast down, dispirited j
but it is not correct to say “ they are annihila
ted.” ' They still live; and while they live
they will plot and plan, and carry out their
plots and- plans to the fullest extent of their
capabilities. t
Tor the hundrelh time we repeat: Wrong
is never idle. It works by night and by day.
Ii is at work now, in Tioga, in Wellsboro,
and in every little hamlet, within .the entire
North. It is sleepless, vigilant, and active.
<3an we hope tosoicet and Jverthrow such a foe
save on its own place of action and with its
own weapons f
Friends—we must not sit down. idle specta
tors of the events which are rendering their
actors famous or infamous. We musi to work.
The campaign of 18G4 is already begun in the
gallant skirmishes in the North at the ballot
box. These State , contests were but the skir
mishing which always precedes pitched battles.
How shall we go to wdrk ? As men always
go to work to accomplish that opon wbich
their souls are set. We must.
First—put tho masses in possession of every
material fact relating to the issues of the day.
Tbi3.can.jnly be done by furnishing every man
wilh a gqpd paper, devoted to the support of
the Government against the plotting^of trai
tors, South and North. Of these there are
Many. As 1 State papers, the Philadelphia
Press, and the Harrisburg Telegraphers npt
excelled. They are close, vigorous and tireless.
Ffom New York comes the Tribune, Post, oud
Times —all ioynl, able, aid impartial papers.
At home; we offer you the Agitator, which will
not he less earnest, vigorous, and uncomprom
ising in the future thffn it has been in the past.
Second—watch for the stealthy promulga
tion'l of lies by the Copperhead leaders. Du
ring itbese long winter evenings they will con
coot such a batch of lies and misrepresenta
tions as was never before concocted. And they
will circulate them. Because they cannot be
idle, and if they they do not lie they do nothing
to speak of.
. _ Third —keep your League fires burning.
Keep tho organization of the coonty intact. It
was never better organized against the common
enemy. 1 ;
Fourth—let every man to work. TalVwith
your neighbor. Agitate. Without agitation
no good thing can oome to men. Stir up the
waters. ■ ■
How the SotniEE’s Vote.— Mr.-John Mc-
Clure; Co. U. 45th Pa. Yols., writes from
Camp near Knoxville,, Tenn., to Lieqt. Col.
Scb&ffleln, of Tioga, concerning the choice of
the-suldiers as between Curtin and Woodward,
’as follows : ,
“On the 13th -of October we took a-vote in
the Regt., and stood 1168 for Curtin and 23 for
Woodward. The 48th Kegt. went clear for
Curtin, so that if the soldiers could bnvq.voted
you would have seen such a majority .swelled
up for “ Andy, tl as would; have astonished the
world. Even Canada would have quailed,
with tbe exiled traitor in its midst. The vote
in the four Penna. Regiments, here stood 1036
foe Curtin and 25 for Woodward-, Allow me
as one of Uncle Abraham’s soldiers to congrat
ulate the citizens at home, and especially in
Tioga, for filling our hearts with that entbu
siasm which only soldiers can feel 1” 1 ,
. Sir Copperhead,-when you, after this, whine
about all the Woodward soldiers bding kept -n
the field, look at this record frpW the Penns,
boys in Tennessee, and bold your peace.

TH E TIOG A CU U JSTY AG XT ATO ii.
* Plots thiokep. The very air seems rife with
treason. Treachery in high' places ‘ plunged
the country into a fearful war, and treachery in
Jiigh.placBs has prolonged.it for more than one
twelvemonth. ,
Scarcely had the news sped over the-wires,
conveying the- intelligence - that prominent cit
izens of Ohio had conspired to release hun
dreds of rebel prisoners' of war, and thus give
.over the fair state of Ohio to rapine, .ere the still
more.startling; newO; (of a new plot,’conceited
,by Copperheads and refugees, by-which the
-flourishing' cities "and towns oh 'the late coasts
were to be given tb the flames, alarmed the
whole North. By the prompt action ef the
Governor General of Canada, this new horror
has been averted. Doubtless this last devel
opment only forms! a part of the first plat,
which-' was opportunely frustrated by the spies
of the Government. There was concert of
action between, these traitors plotdng eoorotly
on Canada and Ohio soil. To doubt it-would
be Jo convict the actors of gross stupidity.
Will the people of the North be warned by
these serious revelations ? Or will they still
consider the lines Ithat divide parties now as
merely nominal and political.. as those which
divided them in times past ? We have never,
since this fight came on, believed in the exis
tence of bat two classes of individuals—true
men, and traitors. For the millionth time let
it he said that there i can be but two parties in
the war. And the man who plots treason
through the elective ifranohise, is not less dan
gerous, and not less Jo be scorned and watched,
than he who points j the musket and pulls the
trigger in the ranksjof Bragg and Lee,
These men will; not forever go unwhipt
of justice, tfas doy'of reckoning'will surely
come. It comes to! the men who betrays his
neighbor, his friend, or his wife; and shall the
man who betrays his country, or seeks to do it,
and procures others to do it, form an.excep
tion ? We think not. On the contrary—as the
t iries of 1776, and the scarcely less guilty
Fcderals of 1812-15, received their full meas
ure of scorn and contempt—so roust these trai
tors—Copperheads—of 1803 receive their meas
ore, full and running over.
Friends—the main who would be a party to
the destruction of his country jvould be a par
ty to n!ny of the crimes penally provided fur in
out statutes.. When did treason come to be
considered a crime of less magnitude than lar
cerny? Why, the man guilty of a simple
assault is more condignly dealt with than the
full-fledged traitor. \
How long shall these things be? when shall
we learn to call things by their right names ?
The issue in Maryland was Emancipation,
under the President’s invitation, or Slavery
and semi-loyalty. The emancipationists elect
three, arid probably four of the five Congress
men, and tho olann city ticket ID Baltimore.
Now this is a sight worth seeing; and we
invite the entire Copperhead fraternity of old
Tioga—the bold and.shameless, ns well os the
timid, “ mewling and puking” kind—to walk
up and refresh their debauched senses. True
enough, the spectacle is ono of terrible and ir
retrievable defeat to Copperhead hopes ; Int it
must be endured with philosophy. ,'Walk up
and see how nobly ‘‘My Maryland”, heads the
Emancipation column.
There will be mourning and lamentation in
Jeffdom when the returns from Maryland reach
Richmond. There is mourning in Copperdom
also. The people of these twin realms weep
together, whether they sympathize or nut.

First Report of tils Mansfield Soldiers
Aid Society. *
This society has Just jtonejuded its second .
year of .Hospital service, having been organ
ised on the 26th of Sept., 1861, (the day of- the
first National Fast), in response to an appeal
from tha late Gen. Hale, then Quartermaster of
the State of Pennsylvania, for assistance from
the loyal women of the State, in furnishing
blankets and socks, for the Pennsylvania vol-'
unteers. Gen. Hale proposed to pay for the
socks, the proceeds ,to be demoted, to patriotic
purposes, and as the society was destitute of
funds,- it was resolved to-acoept the proposition
-and to appropriate-the same to-the purchase of
materials, to be made into clothing and com
forts for the sick and wounded of onr army.
The officers first elected wfjra
President —Mra, Jakes R. Wilson.
Vice-President —Mrs. J. Voorhees.
Treasures—Mrs! J. B. Clark.
Secretary—Mrs. J. P. Morris.
These olL..eonimued in office during two
years, with the'exception of'the Treasurer.
Mrs. Clark having resigned, Mr. Wesley Coch
ran was elected in-ber place.
The Mansfield, (originally styled Richmond.)
Soldiers’ Aid, being, the first organization, of
the kind in the county, and as far as we can
leorn, in tbe Siate, (if -we are mistaken in this
it can be easily proved by dates, and we -will
chearfully correct the error, if it be one :) im
mediately sent circulars to all the Post offices,
and to most of the clergy of all denominations
in the county, inviting them to form similar
organizations. In a few cases Aid Societies
were formed, some of.whioh still continue in
opera tun; others were three and six months men.
115 pairs of army epeka were manufactured and
contributed, fur which we received the sum of
$31,05, with which small sum we commenced
cur Hospital work.
Our first box of supplies, a dry-goods box of
the largest size, containing quilts, blankets,
wrappers, sheets, towels, &0., with a quantity
of rending matter, was sent in Dec.-1861, to
the Ladies Aid of Philadelphia, and-bytbem
forwarded to Gen. Reno’s command, then in
North Carolina,' by whom it was safely re
ceived, and acknowledged by Col. Ilartrauft.
Both of these brave officers have since fallen
in the field 1
’ Daring the first-year, our supplies were sent
to the Quartermaster* of this State, but this
year (1863), we have become auxiliary to the
Sanitary Commission, which noble, National
institution commends itself to us, by its thor
ough organization ; and that, forking in con
cert with the Government, it thus supplements,
with the free-will offerings of the loyal people,
the provision of the soldiers best and most
efficient friend. In its ministrations, which
follow Our troops to the very front, (as was the
case at Antietam.-and at Gettysburg, are Some
times performed even whilst the battle rages,)
it knows no distinction of state, nor of regi
ment —even the wounded “ rebel" is, partaker
of its benefits.
We are well aware that the contributions
from the Mansfield society ore to bo numbered
amongst “ the days of small things;” as our
means are very limited, and our numbers few.
But we yield to none in hearty interest in the
cause, andjin the determination to persevere, os
we enlisted for the war.
In raising funds we have found “ refresh
ment tables” to bo more productive than most
other means. Pic-nio suppers,, oysters, ice
cream, and even' hot maple' sugar, have been
pressed into the service. We are now trying
with good success, to obtain a list of monthly
contributing members, chiefly amongst the
gentlemen, who seenl very willing to give us
25 cents a month, in so good a cause.
Of cash donations we have received from the
Ladies of Covington 534.16 (taken for ice
cream, &c., on July 4th 1862.) We also re
ceived, in April 1802, ten dollars from Mr. and
Mrs. W. B. Clymer of Wellshoro, also five dol
lars From Clrns. E. Smith, Esqr., of Philadel-.
phia, and ten dollars in army flannel from Mrs.
J. R. Wilson. Various other small donations
of (materials and supplies have been received,
of which, until this year, no record has been
kept. Our Treasurer reports the sum of $234,-
30 cash receipts, and expenditures amouhting
to $203,28, leaving a small balence on hand.
Of supplies forwarded, wo report 44 quilts,
17 double-wrappers, 88 pair drawers, 147 shirts,
372 handkerchiefs, 142 towels, 13 blankets, 52
pillows, 55 pounds lint, 65 dozen bandages, 73
finger-cots, 47 pillow-cases, 23 parcels old lin
en and muslin, 6; sheets, 49 pair slippers, 24
cushions, 17 rolls adhesive plaster, 12 pincush
ions with pins; 60 palm fans, 8 paper* pins, 7

67 bottles. domestic wines, raspberry vinegar,
cordials lO cans tomatoes, 1 can honey,,ll
jars marmalade, 9 jars plum-butter, 1 keg
piokled plums, 2 fiirkins pickles. We have in
formation of the safe arrival of all packages at
their destination.
