be against the forcible suppress on of the- re
bellion bjrtbe circoinslanccs iS> his nomina
tion, tat by repeated, declarations, and still
more emphatically by his votes a Congress. ,
So long ago as January 18,SCI, Mr Pen
dleton gaid, in the -House qf Its - >resenlativea:
«• Sir, the whole scheme of'oovee in ie imprao
itable. It is contrary to the got ,’tis and spirit
or 1 the Ciinititution/’ He the Union,
indeed, in a theoretical and sgbtimontal. way,
bat utterly opposed to the only courts by which
the Union could be maintained. His views
were precisely analogous to thdse of the well
known candidate in Maine, who, being inter
rogated whether he wa* for or against the liq
uor law r responded that he was-in favor of the
law but'against its enforcement.
'We believe we are not misCtken in ' saying
that Mr. Pendleton voted in Congress against
eveVy bill intended to supply ir"en a.nd money
for carrying on the war. Take" the following
specimens of the’sapport he has given the
Ghveflfment in its efforts to maintain .the Un
don: '■ . 1 .."
He'voted against the till to provide increased
j'syehne’ from imports, etc., which 1 passed the
House Aug. 2, 1861—years 89, pays 39.
* He voted against the till to provide inter
nal revenue, support the Government, and pay
interest on the public debt, passed April 8, 18-
62—yeas 126, nays ouiy 13 ; among the latter
etch patriots n§ Kerrigan,Voorhees, apd Val
landighab,- tut the vast 'tjvsjority, oven of
Democrats, voting for the 1 .ill as. essential to
carry on the Government. -Impelled by the
game motive of hostility 'to(he .war, Pendle
ton toted agaipst the inteVmil' revenue act of
1864^against the tariff act of-1864, against the
bill to tax insurrectionary districts, and against
the -treasury-note act of FePtuary 6, 1862.
Consistent in his friendship to all the open
friends of'rebellion, Mr. PenUieton was one of
the twenty who voted. agaiAt the resolotioh
censuring Harris of Maryland for treasonable
language on tbo floor of the ,{£ouse.
He -was vrilliog jto repud is £ the debt duo
from the Government to a pf%ion of its sol

actively going forward. V
He declared by hisvote on>the 18th f of Jan
nary 1864, as he had in his speech above cited',-
that he does not believe in |le right to. crush
the rebellion. Mr. Green Cl y Smith, of Ken
tucky; offered this preamble’,md resolution:
" Whereat, A most despe .ite,, wicked, and
Woody rebellion exists" withiu the jurisdiction
of the United States, and tb i'ssfety and secu
rity of personal ind nation *1 liberty depend

This passed' with but sis sen nays; among
them,’Harris, Long, Pend!*on, Voorhees, and
Fernando Wood.- '
Three resolutions ware ol Wed in the House
Decomnor 17, 1863. The , firit declared for
the prosecution of the wdr, Mr. Pendleton
voted squarely against I feisty-four other
Democrats with" him". ' ThiTseo'ond resolution
was*as follows: . . '
“That we hold it to be the duty of!Congress
to pass all" necessary supply men and
money, and the duty-of t' ;c people to render
every aid in'their power tfi tbe constitutional
authorities.of the Qovsrnl cat in the crushing
of the rebellion, and' b.Vr gine the leaders
thereof to condign punisro ent/’ .
This resolution was 'afttted to—yeas 153,
nays 1, Harris of. Maryli al. Mr. Pendleton
dodged the vote, although to had just voted on
the preceding resolution, ft'j appears immedi-
Btely-afterword voting on <■ 9 next. <
We thus present Mr. .Pc'-udloton to the peo
ple of the North as ho' appears by his own
words, votes, and acts, r Bis- friends"—or a
portion, of them—may endeavor to give
him a character for devot" in to the Union, but
neither he nor they can-.escape this proof of

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

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.

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. Dp, men of Penn
sylvania ! Maine. calls you to the breach ;
there’s work for all your thousands, ay, work
for all, for each.
Up, men of Pennsylvania, we hear the shout
of Maine, and ,on the 11th October we’ll send
it back again !
Hurra for Maine I . Her Republicans hare
re-elected Got. 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

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.

We ought to have the whole number of men

such a party North in favor of recognizing
Southern independence that the dralt cannot
be enforced. Let them be undeceived. 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

to take.. No pecuniary consideration—noth
ing but a sincere desire to serve my country
and make an honorable escape from the com

my. While I most earnestly hope that the
schools will not suffer by the change, I can

opportunity of expressing my sincere thanks
for the many favors I have received from the

which 1 have been treated by the School De

We publish herewith the letter of Hon. Ws.
H. Armstrong, declining the nomination for

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. Very truly, yours, &<s..

election is exceedingly doubtful. The oil and
water of the two factions of the modern de
mocracy will scarcely mix in the Empire
State. In that case his Exellency will he laid
on the shelf.
It it lucky that Atlanta fell before the De
mocracy made their “ immediate efforts for
.the cessation of hostilities,’’ If they will put
off their .efforts a while longer we will have
Richmond.
The Republicans of Massachusetts have
unanimously nominated . Governor Andrews
