CON GKRSSION AXh It Is with, unfeigned pleasure that we find ourselves able to announce to the Republicans of Tioga, that the difficulties existing in this viongresstouai aisiriot when our paper went out last weak, hare been adjusted. Mr. Benson, refusing to be a party to any division in the Union ranks, declined the nomination, and re ferred'the matter back to the Conferees, who, on Saturday, generously conceded the nomina tion tb Mr. Wilson. They frankly declared that while they had never entetaifted objections to Mr. Wilson, personal or political, they wore moved to concede the nomination to him for the sake of harmony and the good of the cause. . We speak of what we know by personal ob servation concerning this matter; in company with'Hon. A. Q. Olmsted, of Potter county, and. Charles H. Seymour, Esq., of Tiogs, we last week visited Lycoming, Clinton, and Cen ter counties, and had fall and free consultation with many of the prominent men there, besides a -majority of the cinferees. The unsolicited proposition of thesp gentlemen .was, that the district shonld devote their energies to the elec tion of Mr. Wilson, flinging past differences be hind ns, and only remembering the paramount duty of united action. The spirit in which these gentlemen met us will not be forgotten. It was magnanimous—such as flows from and adorns unselfish-patriotism. 'And to this we cheerfully beat witness; On all bands tils were met by assurances, that the nomination of Mr. Wilson was satisfactory and would receive the hearty support of the party below the mountains. They said to us—" If you of Tioga and Pot te? will do your duty, we will do ours; and the election-of Mr. Wilson may ihos be considered a fact." . - For one,,we accept the terms. To the nt most, of cup strength we shaH labor for the en tire ticket. It shall never be said that we begrudged either time or labor in a.canvass so fraught with weal or wo tothe country as this most undeniably ii. .The -declination of both Sir. Armstrong and Mr. Benson, nnder the cir* cumstances/was such an action as ought to characterize the truly patriotic. Bepnblicans, nnder the assurances of our friends below the mountains, we feel safe in asserting that the Union- men in the 18th dis trict go into the can vhssj united, and with the certainty of success. 2ut we can succeed only through- earnest ohd'onfemitting labor. ■ ( There is no discharge in this war. We ate voting for President jo Gctober, in moral effect. Every vote given for Wilson, Guernsey, Olm stead, Tabor, Seeley, Argot linger, and Peters, is so much strength, aid, and comfort to the Government: and every vote given their oppo nents is a sop flung to Jefferson Davis. Patriots have no choice in this matter. They desire to preserve onr republic as a grand unit. • But not a vote can be oast oh the 11th dav of October.that shall not either, encourage or discourage the chiefs of Rebellion. Tarn it as yon will, estimate it as you will every one of us must vote for the integrity of the .Government, or for its greater peril, if we ■vet* it <01; awtyiyfftfntofc wbmUtHty/<Kik THE TIOGA GOTHS TT AGITATOR. to vote in Octeber.xcill not be able to stand erect before his children in a day not distant. Who does not believe that Pennsylvania this day would have been the theater of bloody civ il Strife had Woodward been elected last fait f Who doubts that ho would have handed the State over to’Breckinridge when he hovered be tween Baltimore and the border laet July ? If. the danger was great, then, it is far.grea ter now. If it war a time for every man to ■ work then, it is a crime to be idle now. In a letter written' by one of the finest of our Tioga young men, received yesterday, we read—“ I am ready to go anywhere, and do any necessary work ; I am ready to devote ev ery waking boar from this hour on, to the can vass in Tioga county.” . , , - , And.it is to such a spirit, of sacrifice that the republic will owe its redemption. Are we all like minded ? ■ Every true, patriot to-his post, and Tioga will efiectively strike down the allies of treason. .SEPT. 21, 1864. We this week put the name of A.' Q. Olm stead, Esq., upon the ticket, as one of the can- didates for the Assembly for this district. The proceedings of the Conference will be found-in the local column. • ' ' It is hardly /necessary for us ,to multiply words in getting forth the claims 6f Mr. Olm etead to the fullest confidence snpportof the freeman of Tioga. Those claims are dispu ted by up true friend of the'country. Peraon ally,-we know him to be a men of unblemished integrity, both as a man and. a legislator, and a patriot as true as steel. In private life.he. is one of the most genial men with whom it has been'oar fortune to meet: and we most heartily endorse the recommendation of the Harrisburg Telegraph aud. several other journals ..that he be the next Speaker of the House. His pros pects are first rate. . Who does not remegaber how the bogus Da-, mocrady in this county opposed to the election of Mr. Grow the cry of “Tioga’s rights 1” j TI was declared to be eh imposition, and a' burn ing shame,! that Tioga should, term after tom, waive her right to the member. -It was argued that Tioga bad not had- a Congressman in ma ny years, and" that each Concession of rights only pavedthe way to continued concession and disgrace. , Now, let. ns see whether these champions of “ Tioga’s rights” meant what they said- then. It is now twenty-six years- since Tioga county had atnemher of Congress. By an agreement as-geherons as just, the candidate is awarded to Tioga opnnty by the Union men of the dis trict, Every,nan who has clamored, for the rights of Tioga has now an opportunity to aid in securing those rights,) We presenffor tbeix suffrages o man well and favorably known to all classes, a man of unquestioned integrity, ability, and unhesitating .fidelity to -the great principles which underlie the superset w-iurc of our liberties. Stephen P. Wiisos never betrayed a friend, or a trust reposed ■in him. Frank, open as the day, he is alike ; incapable of dissembling before friend or - enemy, or of stooping to low trickery to gain, bis ends. Such is the man presented by the friend* of the Government as administered, for the votes of the true freemen of the 18th Congressional district. Those who would give their support to the country in its hour of need will work and lots for him. And those who who are in favor of a disgraceful surrender to Jefferson Paris will work and rote for his Clinton coun ty opponent. .* Let there be an .old-faehioned tarn-out to hear Gov. Pierreppnt end Col. Montgomery, at Mansfield on .Wednesday evening, 28 th inet., and at Wellsboro,-Thursday, 29th inst., at noon. Both are Southerners, born and bred, and if such men stump the State for Abraham Lin coln, the Union men of Tioga should give them a rousing hearing. Both are distinguished men, and Col. Montgomery, who was the edit or of the Vicksburg Whig, and had the luck to he shut up in that city during its-bombard ment by Grant, is reputed to be the most en tertaining stumper in the country. The diff erent Leagues are expected to send fall delega : tions. The Vallandighammere have nominated a Mr. Theo. Weight, of Lock Haven, as their candidate for Congress in'this district Mr. Wright’s nomination was one’eminently fit to be made. He is a Copperhead of the intensest sort; and be has money. ■ 1 These are the grand qualifications for a can didate in the copperhead faction. He must he an outspoken enemy of the Government, and ready to bleed gold at every pore. But Mr. Wright’s cash-box cannot control the Union vote of the district. It may—it will undoubtedly bring out the entire Copperhead vote. Against this the friends of the Union have to,pit their devotion to principles. And upon this we base, our expectations of a full vote for every man on ofir local ticket, from Congressman to Coroner. Gen. Fremont has withdrawn from the field as a Presidential candidate. We have always regarded him as boiogtoo little of a dema gogic and too mnoh-'of a patriot to' endanger the success of the Government in this fearful struggle for existence, by a factious opposition to the will of the majority. The field is now dear, and the people have but two candidates offered for their support. The issue is sharply defined; it is Lincoln, and an united republic —or McClellan/and a country hurried into the Tories of the terrible fate which has made Mexico and the South American republics the theaters of incessant war. These are the al ternatives. Choose between them. The consistency of the Vallandighammer* is remarkable. They rave about the tyranny of the draft, and call Mr. Lincoln a tyront for enforcing it. Yet so early ** the 20th vf Au- guat/1861, Gets, McClellan wrote his father-in law/ Gen. Maroy, to “ make a positive and un conditional demand for an immediate draff.” Therefore, Gen. McClellan is a tyrant. And therefore the Vallandigbammorsaro advocating the election of a tyrant to the Presidency. ALL HAIL DOWMA^T!! HOW ARE TOV, MAINE ? On have you beard from MAINE ? whose record bears no stain, over all the brood of treason victorious 'again 1 Her voice rings as a-bugle on the field of deadly fight, her men make war like giants, their blows are blows of Might I Over the floosie ranges her message cleaves the air—“ Set up the pins old Keystone, we’ve 20,000 * spate 1’ ” Thou art a 'mighty bowler, O iron-sinewed Maine 1 the traitors fly before thee again, and yet again 1 - Thou sit’st a faithful warder, just at the gates of day, and each September fling’st them wide and turn’at the floods this way.

Cony by a majority of 18,000 or 20,000, every Congressman, and pretty near ly the entire Legislature. Friends,-this looks like work; and it adds six inches to the’ faces of the Coppers—up and down. Shall those Powneosters beat us Tiogans ? Never 1 . ' Thebe is a slight breeze in the Copperhead ranks, caused by the alleged disagreement be tween McClellan’s letter of acceptance and the Chicago platform. We are able to derive no' comfort from this much-talked-of disagreement, for the reason that small matters, such as the abandonment of a principle, never make a-se rious break hi the. ranks of an unscrupulous party. The Council of War held by the, chiefs of the Pit, was quite stormy. Some were for peace; butt one, holder than the rest, declared his voice to be for "open war,”- There arose thereupon a mighty war of words, bat at last —as the poet relates, there was harmony in hell. The cases, to us, appear strikingly similar. Satan's kingdom will hot divide permanently on any trifling disagreement about principles. The Whitefeatfaer party villify Mr. Lincoln because of wbat they call his “ arbitrary ar rests” of northern traitors. Yet so .early as September 12,1861, Gen. McClelllan ordered Gen. Banks to prrest tho wary land Legislature, ana th e p r ; gon . etij on board a Government steamer at imnap olis. He assured Gen. Banks that the arrest was exceedingly important, and would do much to break the backbone of the rebellion. Therefore. McClellan, being the first man to counsel and encourage arbitrary arrests, is un fit to be trusted with the reins of power. The elongation of the Copperhead visage since the fact that there is to he no split in the Union, party in this Congressional district has transpired, is-measurable. We are reminded of some of the cartoons once employed to illus trate the phiz-ical change wrought on the emi grants to California by the gold fever. They went out with faces like a full moon, and re turned with faces like a hatchet. With Wilson to contend with Mr. Wright will hardly “ strike ile” in bis political spec ulation this fall. He may strike the headwaters of Suit River, though. ' i Rights of. Tioqa County. —For -a quarter of a century; the gallant county of TLoga has had no representative in Congress, although she has generally furnished the votes which elected Members. This year, her Conferees demanded their right to a Member, without being gambled out of it by a “ Conference”— and she has_ gained her just desire. Her able and true Senator, Stephen P. Wilson, is rec ognized as the Administration candidate for Congress, and we trust will be elected, and the rights of glorious little Tioga cheerfully re spected by the Unionists of the District. -Lew isburg Chronicle. WAS NEWS. On Friday morning a large force of. Rebel cavalry made a dash upon the reserve herd of cattle belonging to out army, at Harrison’s Landing, and succeeded in driving off about 2500 beeves. The attack was very bold, and in such force that our guards could make no effi cient resistance. The Rebels succeeded in getting away with oil the cattle and taking along about 200 of our men. There was a re port at Grant’s headquarters, on Friday night, that the cattle had been recaptured, but it was not confirmed. 'The Newbern Times says there is no doubt ■but that the interior of North Carolina is in complete unroar concerning conscripts and de serters, On the 18th ult., a collision took place in Moore County between one thousand!seven hudred deserters and the State Guard, in-jwhioh the,latter, were repulsed, with the loss 6f;sev eral killed und wounded. , -,. ,- j A skirmish took-place in the neighborhood of Centrevilla oh Thursday, between five Union soldiers and- three guerrillas.

Desert ers come into our lines daily, who tell us that the men are nearly universally tired of the war, and that desertions would be much more frequent, but that they believe peace will be NEGOTIATED AFTER THE FALL ELEC TION. .

Yours very respectfully, We publish herewith the letter of Hon. Ws. H. Armstrong, declining the nomination for Congress tendered him by the Conference which assembled at Williamsport on the Stb inst.: Gentlemen ; I acknowledge with great pleas ure, the honor of the unanimous nomination' for Congress, which the Union Conferees of four counties out of the five, composing the District, have conferred upon me. It is the more especially gratifying, that it is based upon the expressed preference of those counties in their respective Conventions. Un der ordinary circumstances I would cheerfully accept it, but the unprecedented position taken by the delegates of Tioga- county who, profess ing personal regard for me, decline to unite upon any candidate but their own, persistent ly refusing even to meet in the “ Convention of Conferees” unless this point was first yield ed, cannot he viewed in any other light than the attempt of one county to coerce the views of four. This is disorganiation end so de moralizing would be its effect apon the party, that I'cannot permit myself to be connected with it, not suffer my name to go before the people under such circumstances.. I am fully sensible that in declining I am disappointing many friends whose approba tion I value, incurring, perhaps, to some ex tent their censure, but I am so deeply impres sed with the paramount importance of the Na tional issues at stake, that the comparatively trifling interests of any individual should at such a crisis be laid aside. Hoping you will be able to take such action as will ensure the success of the party, and pledging to it my earnest support, I must beg you to permit me to decline the nomination, with many thanks for the honor you have-done me.
