THE AGITATOR^
In common with many otitis, we Lad looked !
upon “ the young man of tfje name of Gappy” |
as a creature of the quaint land fertile fancy of I
the inimitable Dickens. That was a delusion;!
proved, so to be by the sudden, appearance of
the identical entity himself in Tioga county.
"The young man of the name of Guppy" is
not a myth.-. - He came libe a ccjmet. and'de-'
-parted like a chanticleer overtakenby a'sudden
shower. His transit was brief, but brilliant.
Guppy reditieus! 'Qilppy vuh!
" The youpg man of the-name of. Guppy”
1 drew hisinitiai vital breath,'politically, among
as, at the Block House, On the 3d day of Octo
ber instant, a& we understand. He was known
there ns " Col. Guppy, of New Hampshire.”
He addressed the sober farmers.of Liberty in
this eloquent strain; " I now address : iay far
mer friends..' ■With wheat at $2,50 per bushel,
butter at 65 cents, a pound,- and. potatoes at $2
pet bushel, haw are you to live?’.' - This well
chosen ergnmentOm ad hotriinem (for the lati
tude of Philadelphia, where the speake.r'. hails
frbm)‘clothed‘ the faces of bis farmer audience,
with broad, anticipatory smiles. The farmers,
of Liberty saw bow. easy, it would be to'lire
with wheat at $2,50, potatoes'ats2, and batter
at'6s cents. Qoppy, ond’his friends, .departed
next morning, leaving five empty bottles be
hind them to mourn their loss.
Bat the yanng men .of the name of Gappy
arose and shone again' at Roseville. There he
was’ known as “ Snppy of Massachusetts
and he established his claim to be considered a
burning end shining Tight of Democracy in the
following remarkable-language: “ I know all
about voting In thb-army,’.’ said Guppy, “ for
I was there last year .when the Pennsylvania
'soldiers voted. Aft 'the Woodward soldiers
were sent out on picket in the morning, and
the Curtin men left in .camp. So the Wood
ward mon did not vote at 1111!” The fact that
the Pennsylvania soldiers voted in camp last
fall,.never came to the knowledge of we poor,
benighted Hogans before.
Great is Guppy of-the Coppery snake's 1
And the rest of the'saying of, the yppng 'uri
of the name of Guppy—need they be written?

"We write without knowledge of the result,
either in the county,or State—the eventful day
not having dawned* Without claiming proph
etic vision, we feel; a confidence amounting to
almost certainty; that the Union men of Penn
sylvania ate tb win a grand victory to-morrow.
To us, the contest to-morrow siems in the na
ture of a struggle for nationality, perhaps not
decisive, b& powerful in significance and effect
upon the grand battle of November.
It matters not, however, whether the victory
comee to. us to-morrow, or partial defeat, so far
as duty is concerned. We have to labor, every
hour, until the polls close in November. Ev
ery hour intervening must be a • battle-hour—
a- stern, stirring battle-hour. And this without
reference to the result on the llth of October.
The freemen of-tbis yepublid are entrusted
with the responsibility of rescuing the nation
from the murderous clotch of treason. There
is,' then, truly,, no discharge in this war. For,
“Fair Freedom's battle,onee begun, , ’
Bequeathed from bleeding sire to son.
Though haded oft, is ever won."
Freedom cannot perish : it is God’s truth,
jjhis republic cannot be destroyed, because it
was intended to be the outward, manifestation
Off God’s truth for the world. The experiment
of self-government is not to fail in the noon of
the, 19th century. Had failure been possible
at any period of the trial that time is pas?.
•The Judgment -of posterity—the verdict of
civilized humanity in the coming time—will
be rendered'upon the bearing, and conduct of
the American people in this hour. 1 Men, wor
thy of the name kind fate of men, will put on
record now their claims to the proud distinc
tion of being reckoned among the savers of the
world. ’
. Whoever fails in this hour forfeits his inher
itance as a citizen ; and he-will perish out of
the freeman’s book of life-.
Whoever shall prove-capsble of the baseness
of sitting down in idleness during this hour of
national trial, refusing his energies, bis vote
and bis voice for the maintenance of the right
ful authority of the Government, will die the
death under the verdict of posterity.
Whoever stands balancing between a hearty,
outspoken, unconditional support of the Gov
ernment in this hour of trial, and a don’t-ex
aqtly-know what-I-shall’do policy, will become
an object of merited scorn end derision among
men and women of the coming time.
If there be a man, in the North or South,
who, after.tbese four years of constant strug
gle, does hot find heart to take a bold stand on
the one h'Sud or the other, he will drop ont of
the recollection of the future as certainly as he
Is despised in the present.
If there be a man whom.increased taxation
has'so cooled in his love of country that ha is
uncertain where b» stands this day, his child
ren will hide their faces when.his position shall
be spoken of in the time to come.
If any man, in' expectation of gain by in
creased'patronage, or through fear of loss of
pence, is counted an ally by both parties, he is
doomed to travel, the remainder of his course
without either sympathy or respect, end with
out recognition save as a timid timeserver, too
selfish to see beyond himself and behold his
ooontry.
The man with the heart, of a man in his bo
som, will now. array himself on the side of bis
country. The hypocrite, the unprincipled, the
essentially vile man, wiil-be-found venting his
filthy abuse of the President, as of every other
upright and honorable man, in public and in
private.
Is it not singular' that the advocates of a bad
onose are ever at work?
Is not a-good.cause sufficient inspiration f is
'.not the salvation of the nation an object grand
enough to call every true patriot into action?
Shall it be said of this generation that it was
too* poof in spirit to walk upright? too blind
to'eee Iho danger which threatened national
e destruction 7 too parsimonious to sustain the
Government in its struggle for existence ?
No I It may be said of a few; but history
will record the fact that the masses, in this day
of trial were true and steadfast, capable of any
sacrifice for Right's sake,
■ This history may be forerery one who elects
.sotobe on record. This is the honr-for labor.
Let ns each do what we may to re-establish or
der, and make Abrabapi Xlncoln President of
the whole United States. '

: OCT. 12, 1864.
The true issue before the people now is not
that Gen. McClellan is a failure as a military
leader; that is- a -fact of bistory. Nor is it
that .bp offered, his .services to the rebel leaders
oh the breaking out of hostilities; for that fact,
if it.be a.fact, rests upon, tbo authority of one
of the Richmond papersJyhich now makes no
concealment of, its".great anxiety to see him in
the White Honse. •
’ The triio issue is—^Lincpln r with a Union
sforednnthe basis, of tbe.DeclarotioD.ofinde
pendence— or McClellan, with a.deluslre peace
os tbs basis of recognition of Southern jnde
pendenco; or, Lincoln and Union, with nation
al credit unimpaired, and .a prosperous coun
try, or McClellan and separation, and. shame
ful repudiation of the honest, debts of the na
tion. That is the'ease plated. ■ -
The American people here to choose between
these men and the principles they are theein
bodiment.of, on the Bth day of next November. ■
Turn it whichever way you will, view it as you
will—that is the matter to be decided by the
freemen of Americana that day. It is not a
struggle for the distribution of place or the ap
propriation of public plunder. True, our ene
mies, make the campaign as if it had for its ob
ject, solely, the ancient scheme of plunder.
No greater mistake was never mads on this
green earth. And the men who are its victims
are plaiting thorny crowns for the brow of fair
Freedom. They shall not crucify her. They
may defile her spotless garments with their fil
thy expectorations as she passes, but they will
not.be permitted to lead her to crucifixion..
She will survive the'malignant attacks of
hatred and malice. She will reign and Sour
ish ages after treason shall have been banished
from the face of the earth.;
Tbkre is bat one voidiitf regard to the man
ner in which the Tallandigbammer* are con
ducting the campaign' here; as elsewhere. It
is being done in the old Way—by falsehood,
misrepresentation,..and'loW'ecunilUy. We say
this cot to find fault, and not in'deprecation ;
because it would be only an equal folly to re
buke the sWine for wallowing in the' mire, or
the. buzzard for preferring a putrescent carcass.
But this mode of conducting a great cam
paign lf we may not rebuke the
swine or the buzzard, we are not bound .toad
mite their nature or. imitate their habits. We
can say for ourselves that we have spoken no
word against any cadjfidate to whfch he.could
except as being beyond legitimate criticism, or
which might not be spoken In any family cir
cle without offence. Nor have beard from the
Republican speakers now canvassing the Coun
ty, any vulgarity whatever. This'is as it
should be. The'champions of a noble cause
cannot indulge in vulgar abuse of men,-how
ever abandoned.and vile, the men may be.
Only vile causes require vile means in their
prosecution. Only vile characters undertake a
vile* cause. And the reputable people in Tiogd
county are marking tvery one of these professors
°jf political villainy. The man who lies delib
erately in politics will not scruple to attempt
to gain his ends by deliberate lying in other
matters.
Keep it before the people, that Abraham
Lincoln, President of the United States of
Americo, refuses, in the fourth year of a bloody
rebellion, to bpan negotiations with Southern
Commissioners for peace, unless by the total
and absolute abolishment of Slavery. Can
people of intelligenca support a man who is
prosecuting the present war upon this hasiii?

. (When you ask if people, of intelligence,will,
support a man who is prosecuting the war on
the present plan, do you not know that Mr.
. Lincoln will gel a majority-of three lo one of
the votes of the,really intelligent men of your
county 7 You cannot walk the streets of your
village and remain ignorant of the fact. You
know the heaviest opposition to Mr. Lincoln
will be encountered below The Basin Bridge;
and in the clastic shades of Shanty Hill.
Will it" pay, think you, in the long tun, to
deceive the masses 7
The extensively placarded, widely puffed,
and long expected Mass Meeting of the Cop
perocrucy of this county, and -which was to
have come off last Saturday, proved an utter
failure—indisputably the worst failure that ev
er came under pur observation. Out of pity
for the baffled and mortified getters-up of ibe
-affair we shall'be sparing.in details and com
mentary. ’ -
The number of wagons in the procession, by
actual couot. was 14—including three buggies.
The number of men, women, and.' children
in the procession,'by actual count, was 80.
The entire -crowd was dinnered at Hobday’s.
The great outpouring was comfortably seated
in the Court House. ■
There were four ..times as many drunken
men in the streets as there were on the occas
ion of the great Union Mass Meefibg of the
29th of September.;
The speaker, a Mr. Pilsbury, said to be from
Maine, but who'evidently ran the blockade at
Mobile, and entered Maine.from Canada, spoke
three hours, as follows ;
The South is'right, and the. North wrong.
If the South could vote this fall. George B.
McClellan would be elected by an overwhelm
ing majority. r
The conclusion’of which is, that such spee
ches will help Mr. Lincoln wherever made.
Therefore, resolved,'that Mr. Pilsbury be in
vited to repeat his “littlego" in every school
bouse in Tioga, at the' expense of the Southern
Confederacy. ' *
The man who says that Abraham Lincoln
draws bis salary in gold, is either an unpardon
able ignoramus, or .a deliberate liar. No man,
high or low, in the- pay of the Goveenment, is
paid in gold. From highest to lowest, every
employee of the Government receives his'wag
es in the national currency. . The gold, as ev
ery well informed man knows; is required to
pay the interest on the public debt. If. a sur
plus arise, it is used to buy up the floating in
debtedness of the nation, under a law enacted
■i . .
for that purpose. \ '
. The simple troth is, that Mr. Lincoln, like
thousands of other loyal men, invests his sur
plus funds in Government bonds. This fact
can be verified by the records, of the Treasury
Department, and need not remain a subject of
discussion aihong intelligent men;
The Copperhead papers, everywhere, are
publishing that we.shell have * paper victories’
every day until election. That looks a* if
McClellan was in command, and not Grant.
It is a historical fact that McClehan’s victo
ries were “ paper victories,” and nothing else.
Stand from, under 1 There will Jbe a paper
victory on the Sth'.day of November that will

SHERIDAN VICTORIOUS AGAIN!
CAPTURES 11 PIECES OP ARTILLERY
To Lt.-Qeh. Ghaut : In coming back to this
point I was.not follOwecLontil late_yesterday
.when a Jorge, force of cavalry appeared in my
rear.
I then halted my command to offer battle by
attacking the enemy.
I became satisfied thatit-wos all the rebel
esvalry of- the valley under' Rosser-and gave
directions to attack at daylight this morning
and finish this campaign of the valley.
The attack was handsomely made—Custer
commanding the 2d cavalry division charged
on the back road and Meritt coommanding Ist
division on the Strasbnrg pike.
Meritt captured five pieces of artillery. Cus
ter captured 6 pieces of artillery, caissons, for
age, Ac.
The two divisions captured 4T wagons, am
bulances, Ac. . - , .
Among the wagons, captured, are. tbs head
quarters wagon of Rosser.
• The number of prisoners will- be about 350.
The enemy after being charged by our gal
lant cavalry brokaand ran.
They were followed by our men' 26 miles
through Mt. Jackson and across the North
Fork of'the Shenandoah.
The 11 pieces of artillery captured to-dsy
make 36 pieces captured in .the Valley since
the 19th of September.
Some of the artillery was new, and never
bad been, fired. The pieces were marked
“ Tredegar Works.”

. Goon tok ths Soldier. — A gentleman trav
elling between New York and Washington,
says, that at one of the .stations, where there
had been a Copperhead meeting, some eight of
the’ traitors 'snrroUnded a returned Soldier,'
whom , they found standing on the platform,,
urging him to accept and wear a McClellan
medal; He indignantly refused, telling them
that for three years he -had been fighting bet
ter men than, they or their candidates; for
while the rebels were open enemies, they were
secret, treacherous foes. The Copperheads be
coming angry and indignant at these patriotic,
home thrusts, proposed, to use their own-words,
to “ wipe out" the soldier; but on the very first
demonstration be proved to them that they had
caught a Tartar. On the very first demon
stration by them to carry out their threats, he
drew a revolver and compelled the whole eight
to march over to the platform of the adjoining
car, and stand there, -monuments for the finger
of scorn, and for the jeers and laughter of the
crowd, till the train was about to start, when
he permitted them to, slip away, much like
whipped hounds.
The Arm? Vote.— We have been shown a
letter from an officer iu Colonel Fisher’s regi
ment, who states that a vote was taken the oth
er day in the Ist Maryland Regiment, Bth
Army Corps, which resulted in 148 for Lincoln
and 19 for McClellan. He says this is about
the the vote will be in the whole
army in the Middle Department.. From other
reliable sources we bear of organizations which
art almost unanimous for Lincoln.—Lancaster
Examiner.
If you vote tho Copperhead ticket, with the
threat of repudiation, you vote to stop the pen
sions of wounded and diaobled' soldiers; you
rota to stop the pensions of the widows and or
phans of our brave soldiers 1 Will you do it ?
