Nothing can b® more signifies |t than the

vitality of the institution. They s jnply shad

their affection for vice in its most t incentrated
form, by clinging to the grave-tlotji j of slavery.
The tactics of this Peaoe-at-any>{ j-ice faction,
are about to be changed. Ignortii/ j the irrofu-.
table logic of bistory—which teayhis men that
no peace party ever throve in %sa,faon of war,
but only found a' sure and swift crjstructian—
they have heretofore endeavored tf iso, magnify
the woes of the land, its high tax! I, its heavy
indebtedness, into good and aulii lent reasons
for men to turn, traitors and abandon tho gov

And for a few days a pretty clear
field, and showed its mettle. (n the Senate it
was especially championed bv tdr. Powell. In
the House, by Fernando Wo;*' {. Whiskey tri
umphed, finally, and is now ffsis to the nses of
speculation until July 1, ISSfij after which time
it pays a round duty. ..
No sooner did Whiskey rati,- )nt the dunghill
and crow for victory, than Stator Powell fell
to berating the “eternal n-SJro.” Thursday
and" Friday, March 3d and: /® hi no voice was
heard in the Senate save -tl' it Senator’s. He
spoke about six hours in *p and speech
reminded me of the days vife k Jeff. Davis and
Toombs fell foul of Douglass? ' ( h the same place.
This six hours’ speech , woe; imply a political
harangue. Its argument this: There are
,no emergencies in the history (of a nation; all
the' wisdom intended for h i jnan guidance is
contained in the Constitvt'.jji of the United
States; nothing can he learii ,d by observation
and experience; theila is ati | God ; there are

Now Mr, Powell did ise precisely the
words here used. But wlwij |there is a depar

pondence with his idea, i k the inferences
which followed from jnent. There are

Let os not interrupt him. Let all these men
make history in their own way. But in the po
litical day pf Judgment, Sir. Powell and his
follow traitors will eal! upon the rocks to cover
them from the lightnings of popular scorn. It
is difficult to realize that any man of even mo
derate pretension to character, can gel up and
plead for tho restoration of a system generated
in the spume and froth of. hell.

Legislation is advancing rapidly, and the cer
tainty of an early adjournment increases. Pro
bably there must bo some President-making
before tho close, some speeches, like that of
Mr. Powell, for political effect. M. H. C.
The publication of the “strictly private” cir-'
cular signed by .Senator Pomeroy, has not been
unproductive of good. Whether it be genuine
pr not,"makes no difference with the result; It
has had the effect to rally the loyal closer to the
support of the government, at tho. same time
'placing Mr. Chase hors du combat. The latter
strenuously denies any knowledge of the circu
lar until its publication. Senator Pomeroy doel
not, as I can learn, deny its origin, except as
to one point—and it is a vital point—to wit:
that he never assumed to act os chairman of,
the National Executive Committee. This goes
to relieve him of tho charge of originating the
circular, though it does not appear that he dis
avows its sentiments.
The hostility of Mr. Pomeroy and a portion
of the Missouri “radicals" to Mr. Lincoln, is.
susceptible of explanation. Mr. Lincoln has,
nil along, steadily refused to recognize the legit
imacy of any such division among the Union
men of the'West. The only difference I am
able to discover between the radicals, under
Gratz Brown, and the emancipationists, under
Frank Blair, is that the former go in for the an
nihilation of slavery immediately, and without
after .action, leaving the freedmen to the .laws
regulating the demands of labor,, while the lat
ter go in for emancipation and colonization.—
This is no new idea of Mr. Blair’s. As' long
,ago as 1860, I saw a letter, written by Mont
gomery Blair, proposing this very mode foj.
abolishing slavery. It is a pet scheme of the
Blair family. And when they take bold of an
idea, they never let go. I do not think Mont,
gomery Blair is at all a friend of slavery by in
tention. His Rockville speech, in which he
charged the radical republicans with pro
jecting amalgamation of the white and black
races, was made to glorify his own scheme for
destroying the institution., This charge of ad
vocating, or desiring, an amalgamation of the
races, is preferred with .a bad grace by men
who have lived all their lives in the midst of
slavery and witnessed its.workings. I say, and
without fear of successful contradiction, that
since I have known Washington, the women of
this city, owning house servants, have openly
rejoiced over tho appearance of mulatto chil
dren in their households, as something very de
sirable ; and this, too, knowingtbatthe increase
,of chattels was tho fruit of open and flagrant
adultery. And it is a legitimate question to
submit to any oaviler, or preferer of the charge
of Amalgamation against the anti-slavery men
of the country, as to which is the worse—co
habiting with negresses in wedlock, or out of
wedlock. And it is also propbr to inquire, who.
thor any prominent anti-slavery champion has
married a black wife, or whether anti-slavery
men are commonly guilty of the licentiousness
which reigns between tho races wheroverolavery
is a fact.
The truth is, men and women seek their so
cial level, as water seeks its physical level.—
Many people forget the laws which regulate hu
man action. The sensual are not nice in their
choice of companions, either male or female.—
The refined and cultivated are ruled by the ne
cessities of culture and refinement. The demo
cratic demagogues,-who have bespattered the
Irish race all over with adulation, for their
votes, do not, as I have observed, take Irish
girls to wife. Ido not suppose they ever held
out any such inducement to gain votes; and if
they did, it is not probable that they would fulfil
the obligation.' Sympathy with a man does not
involve taking him into one’s confidence. Hu
man law cannot create equality in anything
pertaining to soul or character. It cannot even
make men frefe. God does that in the begin
ning; and when a slave is emancipated, the
person as only left where God placed him, and
from which law kept, or restrained him. It is
time these truths had passed into proverbs.
But shallow minds have perverted everything
that was.not originally lodged out of their reach.
Law cannot make men honest. Lodge a thief
in the prison, and ninety-nine in the hundred
so lodged/ when turned out, are still thieves.
Because the commandment of the law cannot af
fect; the nature of any man. M. H. C.

‘Washington, March 4,1864.
Last night I went to hear the famous Colonel
Streight, so long a prisoner of war in Rich
mond, and one of the hundred lucky officers
who tunneled Libby Prison and escaped into our
lines. Col. Streight is to the rebels what Mor
gan is to us. They both hate and fear him.
They took every reasonable precaution to keep
him securely ; but the Colonel is not a reason
able man, in the sense implied in a tame yield
ing to adverse circumstances. .
Col. Streight is a fine looking person—tall,
muscular, and the very impersonation of da
ring. • He would stand for a hero anywhere.
There is an air of determination in his face, the
farthest removed from mere dogged obstinacy
that can well bo imagined.
Uis subject was the duty of the northern peo
ple in this crisis of the Ration’s.fate. Ten
months of captivity amorig barbarians—for
they are barbarians —have let a good deal of
light in upon him. He represented the rebels
as most bitterly determined in their project of
breaking up the government. In all hie inter-
THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOR.
course with rebels, he says he never heard the
possibility of a settlement by compromise hinted
at. Among the loyal—for there are some truly
loyal men and women in Richmond—he says
that ho never heard the word “compromise”
mentioned. These Union people, with whom
he was lodged for a week after his escape from
prison, and who furnished him with provision
and arms for his comfort and. defence, as ho set
out for our lines, told him that there never
could he peace until the chiefs of rebellion and
the armies under their control were utterly
swept from the, board. Said he—“ We must
whip them when they are 250,000, when they
are 50,000, when they are 10,000 ; whip them
to atoms, and then whip the place where we
saw them last,” lie said it was the only way
to peace—through the destruction of the rebels
themselves. The rebel" army he represented os
most admirably disciplined and effective. lie
said that suck was the force of discipline, that
that army could and would be held together
until completely destroyed ; and this, too, in
spite of the well known fact in Richmond, that
a large proportion of the rank and file are
heartily sick' of fighting. Ho said that tho
rebel armies could not be kept filled up; that
the people who lodged and-secreted him in
Richmond after his escape—persons of wealth
and intelligence—told him that the last con
scription only found 17,000 men liable in five
rebel States. Tho country is impoverished in
men and means. But this, he said, must not
be taken ns meaning that tho rebellion was
about to break down by its own weight. The
army would only grow weaker by death and
desertion, and what remained from time to time
would be as determined as et;|r.- That army
must be crushed, for it would never disband for
lack of purpose or of grub,
lie saw no white man on bis escape, and little
to evidence that the country was inhabited. He
brought away with him three deserters from the
conscript camp. They were bunted with cav
alry, infantry, and dogs. The latter, he said,
was the most arousing of all. The dogs would
come up on their track, aud' finding none but
white men; would look foolish and pass on,
baying.
The Colonel’s remarks to the “ Constitutional
Union” men, were most bitter. Men who have j
tasted the; bitterness of a rebel prison, do not
select.their words when they speak of these 1
knaves who stand bickering about the consti
tutionality of this, and the usurpation of that.
“You .who hope, or pretend to.hope, for com
promise," said he, “may go and dwell with'the
poor soldiers on Belle Isle, and be permanently
cured. There;” said he, « you will see men
without shoes, blankets, ’overcoats, - or tents,
sleeping in ditches to escape the rigors of frost,
and living on one half pound of corn bread and
four ounces of beef per day.” These prisoners
of war were robbed of their clothes' and left
to freeze and starve, by the high minded, chiv
alry of the South. More than twenty had to
undergo amputation for frost bite, even- bofurs
l December set in. Of his own command, the
[ Colonel s.aid that he left his wounded seven
miles froip any house in Alabama, willi tents,
nurses, siirgeon, and ample provisions. The
chivalry came upon them and stripped them of
their tents, provisions, clothing, and nurses—
taking the blankets from under men who had
suffered the amputation of limbs—and leaving
them to die. These arc* some of the refinements
whiph spring from slavery, said the Colonel.—
It was a bad school. It must he dismissed
“ Let us hear no more from our constitution
al-Uoinn friends,” said be, “ about the high
toned chivalry of the South, or the atrocities of
-Gen. Butler. Why,” said he, “do we never
hear our constitutional-union friends lifting
their voices against the barbarities practised by
their erring southern brethren, when they de
plore the atrocities of Union Generals?”
I, for one, never saw a word of protest against
or in condemnation of the atrocities practised
by the rebels against our captured men, in the
Copperhead papers. They are shocked at Gen.
Butler, but not at the murder in cold blood of
our captured men, or in the robbery of the sick
an 4 wounded.. These things are. universally!
practised by the rebels.- The fact is as well es
tablished as any other.
Col. Straight is a truly modest man— as mo
dest as true courage is always. He blushed
like a girl when the crowded audience deman
ded some items of personal adventure, saying
that they would find it all in the papers.
Copperhead Change of Front.—A Harris
burg correspondent of the Chamberaburg Re
pository says that the Democratic editors,of the
State had a covention there on Wednesday last
" Tbe y Bat in the Surveyor General's office with
loosed doors, and their deliberations were con
fined principally to the best plan of carrying
the next Presidential election.—They have nut
allowed their proceedings to become public
but it is known that they informally agreed to
modify their pro-slavery views, and take ground
gradually for the constitutional abolition of
slavery, and be in position to take any avail

Democratic organs in a f ow days.—Presto

The Copperhead press have had more to say
about our recent ill success in Florida than
they have had to say about all our successes
f.r,months. They try to put all the blame on
President Lincoln lor the reverse. What a set
of fair dealing beauties they are! Whenever
any movement fails, President, Lincoln is to
blame fur it; and whenever a movement is
successful he is entitled to no credit for it
If they think such manifest unfairness is calcu
lated to injure .President Lincoln among iuyal
and honest men they are certainly mistaken.

Education - the Cornerstone of the Union.
—Wendell Phillips delivered a lecture a lew
days ago, at the music Hall, Boston, before a
large audience, itv, which lie advocated the
planting of school houses among the negroes
and poor whites of the South, with every step
of tho army, and said that we have one desti
ny and one future with the black man, and
we’ve got to share our ideas with him. .lie
said he did not despond of the future of the
Republic, but believed, as if lie saw it, in a
union of all the States, indissoluble as granite,
and founded upon justice; in the words of
another, you might as well attempt to put a
sis weeks’ chicken back into its egg, as to re
turn four millions of slaves into bondage. The
South, he said, fights with the undying energy
a baffled aristocracy, and an aristocracy is al
ways hard to conquer. There is danger of
our becoming Abolitionists; and-on abolition
ist is behind the times, we must become Amer
ican citizens. [Applause.] lie spoke also in
regard to the nest Presidential election, and
said wo must rise to the level of our mission;
we must demand a policy in our candidate
which is thoroughly, and'in the original sense
of the word, democratic, and let our platform
be that everything which God has furnished
with brains must be provided with a school.
Soldiers Toting. —The amendment proposed
to our State Constitution insuring to soldiers
in tho service of the Union the right to vote,
passed the Senate lost week. Of the 17 Re
publicans m that body every one voted for the
amendment. Of the 10 “ Democrats” in tho
Senate only one voted for it —Mr Kinsey being
that one. No comments on this voting are nec
essary.
On the same day that the above vote against
the soldiers voting was given, a resolution was
introduced in the Senate requesting our repre
sentatives in Congress to vote for a law in
creasing the pay of private soldiers and non
commissioned officers in tho army of the Uni
ted States, when all the Republican Senators
and Mr Kinsey voted for the resolution, and
all ike “ Democratic” Senators voted against it.
The Copperheads have written an article in
favor of Gen. M’Clellan, and have hired a play
actress, named try her luck going
about the country to “spout" it. The design
is to counteract tho influence of the 'original,,
heart-apokeh addresses of that mostrespectable
young lady, Miss. Anna E. Dickinson, (who,
we rogret to say, is unable to respond to re
quests to lecture, on account of ill health.)

SMITH’S xmwioveb green mountain
Shingle and Heading Bl&ehlne.
It was Awarded the First Fremium Silver Me
dal; at the JVeta York Slate Agricultural
• Fair, of Utica, in 1863, and at all
.other Fairs where Exhibited.
THIS important improvement in machines for man
ufacturing shingles and heading, the inventor
has tho pleasure of introducing to the public; a ma
chine which hes proved itself, beyond a doubt, dec!*
dcdly the most perfect, the best and cheapest machine,
that has over yet been introduced. As shingles and
beading ore articles of great demand and of much im
portance, the aim and object of the inventor has been
to get up a machine that would make them as near
perfect to the best shaved, and with the greatest dis
patch, possible. With much labor and expense he has
succeeded in accomplishing his object; which fact is
testified to by those who have the machines in use.—
The superiority and many important advantages this
machine has -over others, arc: It has no complicated
parts liable to derangement; simple in its construc
tion, yet strong and durable; perfectly safe and easy
in operating; does the work in a very perfect man
ner, equally as well on heading of different kinds—
cutting obliquely or otherwise, as desired. Tho saw
running horizontal, catting lengthwise of tho- holtj
the carriage traveling only in proportion to the width
of tho shingle or heading, and are made to cut from
10 to 24 inches in length, works up the timber-very
close; will cut from 1000 to 1600 perhour of shingles,
takes up but little room, occupying only about four
feet square, not weighing over 255 lbs.; can be driven
by any kind of ordinary power; a very compact ma
chine to *hip, Tho cost of the machine is small com
pared with its value.
The following are a few of tho many testimonials
which can be produced :
Middlebuht, Vt, Aug. 25, 1863,
j Mr. Emerson Smith, Dear Sir:—You wish to know
our opinion of your improved shingle and beading
machine. Wo bare had ono of them in use some lime;
have cat about 800,000 from various kinds of timber.
It has done the work in the most satisfactory manner.
Have lost no time nor expense on account of the ma
chine getting oat of order. It is a very perfect ma
chine ; easy and safe to operate. We have used dif
ferent kinds of shingle machines. Yours we most say
excels all others in every respect. W© would not be
willing to take four times the cost of tho machine,
coaid we not procure another of the same.
Yours truly, ABBY' <fc NICHOLS.
CAttniSTOLA, S.Y., Deo. 19, 1864,
Jfn B. F, Eaton, Dear Sir:—The Green Mountain
shingle and beadingmaebine, which we purchased of
you, w© have the satisfaction of saying wo are highly
pleased with. It meefs the recommendations. We
consider it decidedly the best and most valuable ma
