dered her to take down “ those, raj ;s/’ and va

would give such people oaiise to remember that
though President Lincoln is dead the Govern
ment still lives. 1 '

the heart of every hearer, omission was
so clearly intentional that at the .close of the
first service a committee of the church waited
upon the unfaithful preacher and ordered him
to leave town immediately, which he, of course,
did. '
A poor old contraband woman- stood at the
iron gate leading to the White .‘House, all the
day of the funeral, waiting and hoping to get
an opportunity to see the face lof the dead
President, weeping like a broken-hearted mo

gain admittance. On being told that God
would raise up another Hosts for-them, she re
plied, " Ah I but we had.hini.’’

left the church. Just as he got to the. door the
minister called outftohim, “ Don’t.stop, bro

congregation. ’ 1

THE AGITATOR.
M. H. COBB, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR
WEUSBORODOH, FBNM’A.
WEDNESDAY,
Mb. Seward- is reported as having said re
cently ;—“ We are making history ; and his
tory has its assassins as well as heroes." This
is well said. Every age and every country has
bad its assassins. The French Empire has a
reputation all - its own respecting this sort of
violence. Passing bygones, we ; have only to
read French history under the rule of Napole
on 111. to find manifestations of this murder
ous spirit. But everywhere to be noted
that the men who make these {attempts upon
public men are the very reverse of benefactors
of the race. Italy owes nothing of her nation
al redemption to the Borgias or Orsinis. And
the Assassin breed is the same everywhere. It
is a. cowardly breed, and finds its admirers
and apologists among the lowest order.of pol
troons. The copious extracts from exchanges,
given elsewhere, reveals the humiliating fact
that even here, in the North, partisan hatred
may overcome the beneficent influences of free
schools and superior civilization. And these
instances of depravity will go npon the record
as so many evidences that the Copperhead
press and chiefs bad long compassed the assas
sination of the prominent heads of the Govern
ment in their secret These Sndis
-oreet lay-members of the party give ample ev
idence that they thoroughly comprehended the
spirit and wishes of the men to whom they
iooked'Tbr'guidance.
The Proclamation of the President, given in
another, place, puts a new face upon-affaira re
lating to the arraignment and disposal of the
chiefs of the rebellion. They are now out
laws, with a price set upon their heads as as
sassins ; with no abiding place, no refuge save
the swamps and uninhabited islands. If they
set foot upon foreign shores, that moment they
risk certain detection and arrest. Under the
extradition treaties with foreign powers, these
fugitive felons can'nowhere he safe from pur
suing justice. They can avoid the halter only
by resort to that “ pistol, knife, or howl" by
which they hoped to institute anarchy in the
North. What a disgraceful termination to the
great revolution they inaugurated with so
much pomp and cironmstanoe at Montgomery,
a little more than four years ago I The egg of
treason hatching.out cowardly assassination 1
Verily, it was a desperately base cease that
depended upon such means for its rescue, and
desperately , ignorant, or vilely base must be
the men and whmen who apologize for, or sym
pathize with such a cause. North or South.
. So, it appears, the ohiefest criminal of the
rebellion is not to be comparatively dignified
by arraignment and trial for treason, even if
apprehended. If caught, he must stand in the
felon's dock, and if convicted, meet a felon's
doom. Miserable end of a base ambition! a
man who aspired to aggrandize himself thro’
the overthrow of law and order, made' outcast
by a crime which horrifies the world. Bnt if
the American people shall be taught by this
terrible example, it will not have been entirely
devoid of benefit to the race.
Said the eminent historian George Bancroft,
in his eloquent oration at the obsequies of the
President in New York,—“ But* after every al
“ lowaoco, it will remain that members of the
“ Government which preceded his administra-.
“•lion opened the gates of treason, and he clos
" ed them; that when he went to Washington
“ the ground on which ho trod shook under his
“ feet, and he left the republic on a solid fonn
“ dation ; that traitors bad seized public forts
“ and arsenals, and he recovered them for the
" United States to whom they belonged; that
“ the Capital; which he found the abode of
“ sUves, is now the home of only the free.”
In this we gat a glimpse of inexorable His
tory. There is to be no excuse or apology for
tha timid traitors who, after near a half pen*
tury of unbroken rule, plunged the nation in
to the red abyss of civil war. If any have, re
lied upon oblivion to hide their guilt or oblit
erate the memory of their crime, they have
now full warning that their reliance was npon
a rope of sand, their hopes vain. They will
find the pillory of history less merciful than the
hangman; and the ever-pointed finger of shame
more terrible than the felon's dock. Great vil
lains have escaped punishment through' the
wide meshes of written law; but the verdict
of enlightened public opinion is irreversible.
It is time' to recall to mind the undisguised
THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOR;
aneera with which that faction greeted Mr. Lin
coln’s proclamation in 1861, declaring his in
tention to repossess and hold the forts, arsenals
and other public property. This declaration
was pronounced preposterous, the utterance of
a fool. How is it to-day ? Abraham Lincoln
lived to see every port, fort, arsenal, and cus
tom-house repossessed, and the downfall of the
treason which wrested them from the nation.
We remember, also, that from the beginning
up to within four months of this present, the
leaders of this faction declared that the Gov
ernment could not destroy the power of the re
bellion ; that it was impossible. And we re
member that this faction did their utmost to
fulfil their prediction of the discomfiture of the
Government, by discouraging enlistments, en
couraging desertions, and depreciating the
currency. To-day they heboid the scepter of
treason broken, ita armies disarmed and cap
tive, its chiefs driven to ignominious hiding as
fugitives and outlaws, and. the ground upon
which they, themselves,lsland, tremulous with
symptoms of a convulsion which threatens to
involve armed traitors, and their craven abet
tors and sympathizers, in common rain.
But, thank Gos, they who forget their coun
try in the hour of trial, cannot escape remem
brance. The bitterness of the redeemed colo
nies toward Britain was susceptible to the sof
tening influences of time ; but hatred! of Tory
ism has survived the lapse, and proved as nn
impressible to the mellowing influence of time
as steel. Such is the unostentatious warning
of history.
-. MAY 10, 1865,
It is not often that we find anything in the
Opposition papers with which we cordially co
incide. But when the Catttkili Recorder, in
commenting upon the murder of the President
—says it is the .offspring of bitter partisan ap
peals, we agree to that: and in the way of Il
lustration publish the following extract from
one of its editorials under date of March 31,
just two weeks before the assassination;
“ Some people hope that Lincoln’s life will
be, spared now, in order that the country may
be saved the disgrace of an “ incoherent" Vice
President. But is there not a slight chance of
improvement in case that Providence should
will it otherwise t”
This is but one of many pointed allusions to
the. great tragedy which we have collected from
the columns of that paper and preserved for
“ future reference,” since Jan. 1, 1863. We
certainly agree with its editor that the assass
ination of Abraham Lincoln wag the legitimate
consequence of party depravity, evidenced as
above.
' Those whose depravity led them to applaud
the assassination of the President, as we learn
from our exchanges, have'generally come to
grief. A fellow was thrown off a Brooklyn
ferryboat for saying be was glad of it. Some
have been knocked down and trampled in their
kindred mire. Some have been sntrimarily
■hot down,;, and one, a semi-rebel Maryland
editor, after shooting at a man who denounced
his murderous sympathy, was literally torn to
pieces by the infuriated crowd. Treason and
its next of^kin,—assassination—are growing
unpopular. And the people say “ AheK 1”
As the Chicago Convention adjourned to
meet on call, a friend suggests that it should
reassemble at once and rescind so much of the
McClellan platform as- declares the war -to be
“four years of failure." The objects of that
Convention being rendered unattainable by the
collapse of the rebellion, we presume its reas
sembling is not practicable.
