Correction . —A very morticing omission
occurred in our notice of candidates last week,
by wljicb Mr. £. Hart, our worthy friend and
neighbor, tbe candidata for Commissioner, was
passefi over without mention. It being oar
custom when pressed for time to pat editorial
into type without committing it to paper; and
on tbe occasion referred to being constantly in
terrupted by business calls, we “ lost copy .’I,-
Wo can assure tbe freemen of Tioga that
they have in their candidate for Commissioner
a man whose integrity has never known stain,
and,i.whose character. as a man, and as a serv
ant of the pnbiic, ranks first-class. We have
known him intimately for eleven years, and
therefore know what we affirm., He will 'dis
ebarge tbe-duties of the office for which be is
named with ability an 4 conscientious fidelity.
Once upon a time,(so goes tbe story) there
lived an old fellow whose bodily ills were more
in number than bis fingers and toes, counted
together. And, as often happens in such ca-‘
ses, the doctors disagreed. A majority of them
agreed that tbe old fellow was breaking down
under tbe weight of a life of debauchery and
unbridled excess ; but some thought It possials
to eradicate a part of tbe diseases under which
he groaned, so that he might' eke dot this bal
ance of an ill-spent life in reasonable peace.
To this end tbe doctors set to work. They
bled, and capped, and leeched, and puked, and
purged ; they administered tonics, and altera
tives ; they drenched bis stupid internals with
mineral waters ; they prescribed rest, and ex
ercise; they enjoined a generous diet; and ab
stinence ;• and • theypresoribed'mountaih air,
add sep breezes '; and by some means they sac ;
ceeded in putting all the old gentleman's com
plaints into a sort of comatose state, save one.
One trouble, be declared to be as bad as ever,
and beyond their united skill. When ques
tioned as to tbe nature of that obstinate ill,
be refused the desired information and turned
snappish. On being pressed to disclose tbe
symptoms on all bands, and on many occasions,
tbe old man lost bis temper entirely, and fac
ing bis persecutors exclaimed; “ You infer
nal, meddlesome scoundrels 1‘ D’ye,'think I’m
going to let. yon knock the. foundation from un
der my constitutional- right to grant and
groan 1”
Nearly every Copperhead sheet we open is a
fresh reminder of tins Obstinate old‘gentleman
who “ enjoyed very poor health, thank you."
A grave council -of political doctors has been
deliberating over tbe remains of the! democrat
ic party for a long period of time.' Their pre
scriptions have failed to effect anything like a
cure for the complication of diseases which so
sorely afflicts that poor old body. In fact, the
senile fellow is determined not to waive his
constitutional right to groan. Let him groan.
Not long ago these Coppery editors filled the
land with an interblended noise of bitter in
vective against the Administration,‘condemna
tion of the war and its objects, and wails for a
slaughter occasioned by the hobnobbing of tbe
faction which they champion with .treason da
ring the last dozen years of its power. .But
the rebellion perished in a sudden,’to them an
unlocked for and nndesired collapse; and the
modern Othello awoke one fine morning to find
his occupation gone. For a brief period there
was comparative silence in tbe semi-rebel lines.
And but for tbe “ murder of Booth," and the
“ treble mnrder of Mrs. Snratt, Payne, and
Atzerott," —as these editors were fpnd of defi
ning tbe execution of the four assessing, prob
ably there might have been silence sn tbe camp
of political Isbmael to this day.
Bat of late a newdissase has net in; and
unless some’composing bolos be administered
there is danger that the constitutional right of
the patient to groan may expire by limitation.
The new disease ie •• Inequality of Taxation."
The fact that Congress exempted. the bonds
and notes wbioh constitute tbe evidence of the
pjoblio debt incurred in the late war from tax
ation, is made the' theme of column upon col
umn of furious denunciation. Not to delay,
let ue look at the facte:
first—Congress did exempt the securities of
tbe United States abovenamed,' from State and
mnicipal taxation; and

with the resolutions adopted. We were unable

learn that not more, and probably less than
half of the county was represented In the Con

does to ns, that the “'Democratic" party of
this county has changed hands; for in looking
over the report we miss the names of Messrs.
Henry and D. L. Sherwood, Stephen Pierce,
Apqllos Pitts, M. P. Elliott, and others, and
recognize none save that of the venerable

The ticket is a very good one. To the can
didates personally, we make no objection. But
we feel it to be.a duty, to put in a plea in bar
of their election. We shall not consent to the
wresting of our old acquaintance, Kirkendall,
from the domestic and rural deligbth of hia re
treat in Jackson, to expose him to the ‘Corrupt
ing influences.-of Harrisburg. Therefore wa
shall vote to keep him at home* and urgo others
to do likewise. We regret , that he should be

And bo of the remainder of the ticket. The

stitutional government and gave all it bad to

exclusion, from political place is the mildest
punishment that dan be inflicted upon men
who forgot their country in the day of its aw
ful trial. We agree with that one of their res
olutions which prefers measures before men;
and so agreeing, urge the defeat of these; men
as the representatives of a rninoas policy.
The resolutions are bat a renewal of old
charges and specifications the party in
power,—charges twice passed upon by the peo
ple of Tioga last year, and a verdict of acquit
tal rendered by'the jury without leaving the
box:
Following the lead of the Union State Con
vention, the “Democratic” Stale Convention
which assembled at Harrisbnrg last Thursday
week, recommended that bounties to Pennsyl
vania soldiers be equalized, so that the volun
teers of 1861—62 shall receive the same as. the
volunteers of '63-64. The resolution was ad
opted after considerable discussion.
Now we have a word for the “ nnohangable
democracy,” especially for its newspaper press
and its Supremo Court Judges. Its journals
have persistently questioned the constitution
ality of the act authorizing bounties, and on a
case submitted. Chief Justice Woodward deci
ded that the law was unconstitutional. How
ever; he was overruled, and the constitutional
ity of the law was affirmed by a majority of
the court. Had Woodward prevailed, every
county in the State would have been forced to
repudiate, and the bonds given to volunteers
would have been worthless. The soldiers can
judge for themselves bow much “ democratic”
promises and platforms are likely to be worth.
But the resolution referred to ‘proposes to
make the General Government pay these added
bounties. Ton don't mean that, do you. Oh
conscientious gentlemen? Why, yon are al

Democratic County Convention.
The Tioga- County Democratic Convention
met at the Court House, Thursday evening,
August.3l,lB6s;
It was called to order by appointment of
Colonel N. A. Elliott, Chairman, and H. H.
Goodrich, and Geo. W. Ryon, Esqs. Secretaries.
The Credentials of delegates were then pre
sented, and their names recorded.
On motion of Geo. W. Ryon, a Committee of
three was appointed fj j the Chair todraft reso
lutions. Messrs. Geb. W. Ryon, Frank W.
Clark, and H. H. Schaffer, were said Committee,
and reported-as follows: ■ >i
Resolvtd, That inasmuch as the great straggle
which bos attracted our undivided attenUoiTand con
tinued unceasingly for the pastfour years has ceased,
measures should be adopted to bind up the Nation's
wounds and secure. peace* prosperity, and domestic
tranquility to her citizens—to allay passions and an
imosities and pre-existing prejudices, and thereby se
cure concord and harmony among the people.
Resolved, That the policy pursued by Andrew
Johnson now President of the United States, relative
to reconstruction and Negro Suffrage, is best calcula
ted to Insure the ends hereinbefore stated—that we
will heartily support him and render him all the aid
necessary in his patriotic endeavor so far and so long
as he U guided by the Constitution of the U. S., the
magzu oharta of America; that we support measures
and not men.
Rfolved, That the right of trial by Jury by civil
process, the great safeguard of American liberty,
should be preserved inviolate—that the trials by mil*
itary commission that have been instituted by the
party in power, are dangerous infractions of the Con
stitutions; are unwarranted; without precedent, and
in direct violation of the organic law of tho country;
that they deserve the emphatic condemnation of ev
ery liberty-loving, constitution abiding citizen.
Rttolvtd , That we ore unreservedly in favor of
equal taxation; that the rUh as well as the poor
should bear the burthens growing out of the devas
tating war Just terminated; that in assessing bounty
and local taxes; government securities' and govern
ment bonds should be taxed in the same ratio as other
property—and that the law exempting such bonds
from taxation is unjust, arbitrary, and unequal; that
while it exonerates the rich from the responsibilities
that should be borne by them, it overwhelms the poor
by its inequality and merits our unqualified disappro
val.
Rtnlvcd, That we. hereby endorse the principle*
laid down by Jefferson and Madison—that every
State has the right to control her own local affairs in
her in her own way, according to the Constitution
adopted by our Revolutionary Fathers—that it is pe
culiarly within her own province and power to elect
who shall exercise the right of suffrage within her
borders—to decide what qualiflcatxofis and requisites
are necessary to make men qualified to exercise the
elective franchises and that any measures infringing
neon the rights of reople in the several States in
this respect are encroachments upon the great charter
of our liberties and monarchical ia-their tendenoy.
Rttclved, That we recognize Col. W. W. H. Davis,
of Bucks county and Col. J. P. Linton, of Cambria
county, the Democratic nominees respectively for Au
ditor and Surveyor General, as able and efficient sol
diers, as men of moral worth undoubted integrity
and spotless characters, possessing mental qualifica
tions and statesmanlike qualities which peculiarly
fit them for the high offices for which they are nomin
ated ; that we hereby pledge to them together with
the officers nominated by this Convention our un
wavering support, and that we will use all honorable
means to Insure their election.
Jietoived, That we hereby endorse the resolutions
passed at the Democratic State Convention convened
at Harrisburg, August 24th, 1866, as a perfect ennn
oiation of our views and sentiments, u 1

Tax Democracy of Ohio have two candidates
for Governor—Hon. A. Long, the simon pure,
who learns nothing and forgets nothing, and
Gen. George W. Morgan, whose military aohiev
ments may be summed up in his surrender of
and retreat from Cumberland Gap in 1862. As
tho government did not want any other im
portant points given up to the rebels without
the use of gunpowder, Gen. Morgan was not
called again to the field, and be naturally drift
ed into the Yallandigbam Democracy and
stamped the State last year to prove that the
war was a “ failure.” Having failed in the field,
again in proving the war a failure, be will crown
his failures by failing to capture the Governor
ship by' 50,000 or thereabouts. Morgan evi
dently likes failures, and as A. Ward, Jr. would
say, for persons who like such men, Morgan is
just the man for them to like. Hissing and vo
ting go pretty much by fancy, and Morgan has
a constitutional right to be beaten for Governor,
so bis friends can go in freely. Yallandigbam
ratified the nomination, following Morgan in a

»JYHE WELLSBORO ACADEMY.—
■ The Trustees of the Wellaboro Academy are grati
fied In being able to state to the pijbiie that they hare
succeeded in organizing a Board of Instruction, and
In making such arrangements that they can confi
dently promise that the school wiH be a decided suc
cess and will net be exceeded in thoronghness and
range of studies, by any Instigation of the kind in
Northern Pennsylvania.
' The Board of Instruction will consist of the fol
lowing Teachers;
' Prof. D. D. VAN ALLEN, A. 8., late Professor of
Natural Sciences and Modern Languages, in the Dans-
Ville (N. Y.,) Seminary, is a graduate of one of the
best New York Colleges, and has already earned a
Wide and favorable reputation as an Instructor and
Disciplinarian. His varied experience of five years in
prominent schools of New York has eminently fitted
him for the responsible position which he is about to
boettpy.
“ He is a thorough-going scholar, and has had «n«-
ewer I good success as a Teacher."— Prv/, Ford, Elmira
Female College ♦
Miss Sarab A. Van Alls*, Preceptress and Teach
er of Common and Higher English,
■ Miss 7. J« Holland, Vice-Preceptress, is a grada
ate of the Elmira Female Academy, in which Institu
tion she gained a high reputation for accurate sad
.thorough scholarship. The Principal of the Acadcm?
says of her; “Miss H. is a young woman of the very
best qualifications for the teachers' work, and she
possesses, in addition, what is as available, as it is
j-are, great enthusiasm and love for the service."
Mrs. Joliet Sbsbwood and Mias H. W. Todd, both
experienced teachers will be connected with the Acad
emy and give instruction in Vocal and Instrumental
Music. <
* Mr*. Mart Bbtrsv will teach Drawing and Paint*
ing, both in oil and water colors.
Muliio will be taught at the residences of the teach
ers, hr at the houses of the pupils haying instrument
and residing in Welltboro, as may be desired, and
each pupil will be left perfectly free to select her own
teacher, the Principal not at all interfering in that
branch.
Mrs. Bryden will also occupy a studio in her own
bouse, separate and apart from the Academy build
ings.
. Miss Van Allen ia a teacher also of large experi
ence, has always been successful in her yoeation, is
well qualified for the position of Preceptress, and
Vill no doubt, be an able adjunct to her brother, the
Principal, in the well ordering and government of the
School,-
Of Mrs. Sherwood and Mias Todd nothing need be
raid to the cltUens of Wellsboro. They are too well
;known here as excellent teachers as well as excellent
.women to need any endorsement by the trustees. To
!thoae coming from abroad, we will, however, say that
they will justify any confidence that may be placed
in them, both as teachers and Christian ladies.
All that ia said above may also be raid of Mrs-
Bryden. She la a woman of excellent taste, has bad
experience in teaching and ia devoted to Painting » s
an art. She has now a class at her own house.
The School will be opened on THURSDAY, the
7th day of September.
