Forward 1 I STARTLING DIaCXiOSUBE J Baffled, maddened, and tendered desperate by the'- results of the October elections, the managers of tbe campaign for Gen. McClellan have-resorted to tbe most stupendous frauds to retrieve-their rained fortunes in November, as will be seen by an account published elsewhere. This attempted fraud relates to the proxy votes of the soldiers from tbe State of New York, so far as disclosed. Tbe fraud itself con-' sisti in the forgery of the names of dead sold . iers’ names to proxy votes, in part, and in the fraudulent opening of proxies- sent by those voting fur Lincoln, and substituting copper head ballots. The New York State Agent, M. J. Ferry, appointed' by Gov. Seymour, has been arrested and examined, and having plea ded guilty, makes a fall confession of tbs infa mous crime, which will he found elsewhere. ’ This unprecedented fraud was evidently con cocted by Horatio Seymour, Fernando Wood, . Aristocrat Belmont, and others of McClellan’s fuglemen. We suspect that, finding the mill ion and a quarter dollars too little to carry Pennsylvania in October, Seymour & Co., con cluded to give op the Keystone, and throw the entire energy' of the party into the struggle for New York. For, if the Empire State goes for Lincoln & Johnson, Gov. Seymour goes over board with McClellan. Since the election of Lincoln is certain, the Rebels will devote their energies to the salvation of Seymour, since.it is Seymour or nothing. Bat the discovery of this frightful scheme to stuff the ballot-boxes for Seymour and Lit tip Mao, will defeat Horatio Seymour overwhelm ingly. -In view of the critical condition of the country the disclosure seems Providential. 1 We now appeal to the advocates of General McClellan; to. say if this systeni of stupend ous forgery and unblushing fraud is what they mean by “ a free election, or a free fight I” is this wbat they mean when they talk about re storing the elective franchise to its ancient pa rity 1 Is this what they mean When they talk about purifying the ballot-box ? Why—it is not two days since we heard one of these advo cates of the purity of elections saying, that he .objected to the soldiers’ voting because it open ed tip ihe way io great frauds’! Tell us, pray, if yon had in view this grand scheme to cheat the American people and elect McClellan by a wholesale forgery of the names,of dead Union soldiers I Are the outrageous violations of the purity of the ballot-box in Kansas to he re-enacted by these cowardly traitors ? Is it into the hands of these wholesale forgers that the loyal men of the North are asked to place the reins of power in this fateful moment of national trial? Can any self-respecting than remain longer identified with a party whose leaders have re sorted to fraud and forgery in their desperate attempt to force the election of McClellan ? Look at it; Would men, even of ordinary honesty, resort to such flagrant crimo in order to control the election ? Would men ,of vile stamp, even, resort to fraud and forgery in aid of their candidate, if they bJd pot lost all hope of electing him by fair means ? The troth is, these-McClellan deaden hay# THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOB. no I6nger any liope of success; The result of the October elections is the unmistakable pre cursor, the Isaiah-like prophet of defeat sad destruction, These men are not gotnuch fools as knaves. They know that they are Utterly without hope. This knowledge renders them desperate ; and desperation has driven them to the perpetration of this high crime. . We can now'understand what these threats of revolution, in the event of Mr. Lincoln’s re election, signify ; for it is easy to discern that ■the American people wi/i never consent to the overthrow of civil liberty, through the frauds, forgeries, and peijnries'of the Copperhead lea ders, or by the machinations of their great chief, Jefferson Daria. NOV. 2. 1864. Friends of Freedom: Who that cherishes the country, which is the mother of os all, can hes itate as to the nature of his duty now ? if a man loves liberty, honor, and fair dealing, he must vote for Abraham Lincoln. If lie would be a party to. the dismemberment of this.re; public, to fraud, forgery -and perjury, he may vote for George B. McClellan, and prepare to meet the reproaches of his children. FREEMEN I When we go to the polls next (Tuesday, let us remember -. —That but for the solemn assurances of aid and comfort from the wicked leaders of the northern Democracy, the- South would not to day have been in rebellion. —That though our taxes are high, they aff ect none but the owners of property; and that every property owner is such because bf the protecting and fostering care of the govern ment which armed rebel and Copperhead are in league to destroy. - ■ ’ —That every ballot for Abraham, Lincoln & Andrew. Johnson is equivalent to a bullet sent through the heart of one of the chiefs of trea son ; and on the other hand, that every ballot for McClellan & Pendleton,.is equivalent, to.a ballet sent through the heart of a brave Union soldier. 1 ' " •—That every vote for the Copperhead' can didates vs-an endorsement of the frauds and forgeries just disclosed by the confession-of the confidential agent of Gov. Seymour;' by which criminal means the managers of Geo. McClel lan hoped to defraud the soldiers of their votes and force them into the support of a man they abhor. On the other hand, every vote for the Union candidates is a vote in condemnation of that stupendous crime. —Jefferson Davis, were he permitted to par ticipate in next Tuesday's election, would cer tainly vote for McClellan & Pendleton.. ‘ —And that the Tip ion martyrs of East Ten nessee, could they vote next Tuesday, would just as certainly vote for Lincoln & Johnson. —And let ns not forget, that the iasne is as distinct as the extremes of midnight and noon —-that it is a vote, either for national life, or national death. That is the stake. We can not avoid it, Will yon live, or-perish ?—that ia what you must consider. It is not a strag gle for plunder on the part of the Union men. IT IS A. STRUGGLE INVOLVING THE EXISTENCE OE CIVIL LIBERTY IN AMERICA. And the men who estimate*this straggle at anything less, are either knaves, or dabblers in the slime of superficiality.' ■ Would to Gud that every loyal man could truly feel the respousibility which devolves up on the cost of his rote next Tuesday / - Then the majority for Union would be so overwhelm ing that treason and its.allies would nevermore insult the daylight with their hated presence. IF WE WOULD BEAT DOWN TREASON WE MUST “ STRIKE DOWN ITS AL LIES,” whether they plot the death cf Liberty in secret or o^finly. There were many most excellent points in Clinton Lloyd’s speech in the Court House, Saturday night. But one was taken ,with ex ceedingly good judgment and effect. We allude, to (be citation of that portion of the < Chicago platform which arraigns Mri Lincoln for cruelty toward the soldiers in noFresouing Union soldiers now languishing injrcbel pris ons—the citation being- to show Abe hypocrisy of tho McClellanites by putting against it the vote of Pendleton against a resolution Of thanks to Mr. Lincoln for his efforts to effect a general exchange of prisoners. Such a resolution was passed by Congress, Mr. Pendleton voting in opposition to its passage. The point'was vf®U taken, and brought one Vallandighammer to his feet. Ho asked for the reading of that res olution in the platform—possibly hot aware of its existence. Mr. Lloyd very.willingly com plied ; and having read it, the force of the ar gument founded upon its radical disagreement with Mr. Pendleton’s record was made so pal pable as to elicit the most tumultuous applause. P. S. No more requests for the reading of the Chicago " Whatisit?” were preferred du ring the evening. FREEMEN: The man who neglects to go to the polls nest Tuesday, and there work that oar common country may lire, will, whether intentionally or not, he guilty of -a negfecf bor dering on crime. Not one of ns can vote on that day without either smiting Treason in the forehead, or giving that hideous monster moral and material aid and comfort. TFe all shall vote, either for or against the country. There is no avoiding it. The question is narrowed dows to that unmistakable issue. Our opponents have expended not less than 51,200,000 in Pennsylvania alone, dating the campaign. They have the American agent of the Barons Botbchild, the owners of half the principalities of Europe, for Chairman of their Notional Committee. This man supports the princely style of the aristocrats of Europe. Think you that a man of democratic principles would rival princofs in the splendor of. his car riages, the amplitude of hie rst/pae, and in fie habits of his, life f , - l?e say, no. The s? Jayishiyiojpep- ded by August Bo]ruon t, Chairman of the Mc- Clellan Committee, is mainly, supplied by the princes and potentates of ARISTOCRATIC EUROPE, who stand behind him and plot the death of civil liberty on this continent through the election of George B. McClellan. Mark this—for it ia the solemn conviction of asonl which-seeks only the good of mankind' if it knows itself— most desperate effort to place McClellan in the Presidential Chair, is put forth and sustained on a money capital .con tributed by the aristocrats of Europe, who hate us for proving them liars .- end now iSelze upon this hour of civil convulsion, when, God knows, there ought to be but one mind and heart in the loyal States, to diride, distract, and finally to overthrow this republic. Mark this, we 1 repeat; for, whoever may he elected, it will be a. clearly established fact be fore another summer; if Mr. Lincoln is elect ed, a fact which shall cover Copperheadism with the shame and disgrace of utter defeat; bat a fact which, if Gen. McClellan he elected, I. will overwhelm this nation, ns a nation, with a shame whose blush shall he reflected on the foreheads of the ’ apostles of Liberty for ten generations. But, thank Heaven, this present and future disgrace is to bo averted by tbe*vigilanee and patriotism of the American people, next Tues day, by the triumphant re-election of Abraham Lincoln. We believe this nndonbtingly, be cause we have enfire confidence in the Ameri can people. ■, The OmciAL Vote or Tioga Co.

No man can vote for McClellan without vot ing for Pendleton. No man can "vote for Pendleton without vot ing for a man who voted to postpone the Army Appropriation Bill for 1863-4, with intent to defeat the bill by delay. Ia doing this be prac tically voted against the bill to pay the brave fellows who are serving the country in the field. And no man can vote for George H. Pendle ton without endorsing a man who advocated and defended Vallandigbam’s scheme to divide the republic into four minor republics, and to recognize the right of any State to secede on certain prescribed conditions. If any man votes for McClellan he endorses nlKhese acts of Pendleton. Let him do it in full' view of the facts. J. B, Niles, Judge Humphrey, and Johnj J. Mitchell, Esqs., have been doing yeoman ser vice, in the northern, western and central dis tricts of the county during the last ten days. We hear glowing reporte of their meetings, and the promise of victory next Tuesday is ra diant. H. W. Williams, Esq., and Hon. S. F. Wilson, are likewise abroad, Mr. Williams speaking nightly. The work goes bravely on. The Copperhead papers are publishing a statement, tjo the effect that Mr. Lincoln lately said that ho only wanted “ four more years of war to wipe out Slavery.” A more unblushing lie never was batched in the nest of treason. Mr. Lincoln never utter ed anything of the sort. If any man repeats tho lie, put him to the proof, and so make him stand ont as a reckless falsifier. WAR-NHWS. FROM THE POTOMAC, ARMY.

It is alleged that extensive frauds have been discovered in this city and Washington on the part of some of the Commissioners of New- York State to receive and forward the votes of soldiers. Two State Agents, M. J. Ferkv of Canton St. Lawrence County, and Edward Donohue of Albany, have been arjestod, and were brought for trial this morning before! the Miliary Commission, of which Maj.

The real issue is still as narrow as ever—War fur the Union—or peace on the ba sis of Southern Independence. Unless tho North is willing to let the South go, all talk of an armistice and negociation is moonshine. If the North is for the Union, the war most go on. The Chicago Democrats must be more stupid than the- lest of mankind, or they are insincere in one or other of the maxims in their platform.” The London Times remarks: “We said the North would never subdue the South, and the North baa now proclaimed the same conclusion through the Chicago Convention. The Times gathers from the platform, that McClellan’s policy is to put an end to- the war, if possible without destroying the Union, but if this be not possible, still to put an end to tbe war. The policy is mueh like the fathers; “My son get money, honestly if you can, Int get money." ADI I If ISTRATOR’S~ If OTICE.
