Because every candidate is worthy the support of the party. '2. Because the defeat of a single candi date, or his election by a largely diminished majority, would seriously affect the unity and success of the party in the future.•, The existence of any political party largely de pends upon preserving its organization in tact. Our opponents know this well, and will strain every nerve to encourage disaf fection. They know that a breach made now is likely to become wider in the future. Efforts are directed mainly to the defeat. of our candidate for Simiff. Much misrep resentation is being used to accomplish this end./ Various stories are circulated, differ ing in different localities, but all largely or wholly without foundation. It is difficult, if nut impossible, to contradict effectively all the misstatements which have been anti arc being made to secure the election of the Thirnocratic candidate for Sheriff. But your committee fee! entirely warranted in rec otnmending Mr. Stephen Bowen as an intel ligent and competent man, who possesses the estt;em and confidence of his immediate neigitbdrst as a consistent Republican; and, in short, as one who should be- supported by every' Republican voter. Wt therefore earnestly urge upon every man who values the success of the princi ples represented by the Republican organi zation, now and in the future, not only to vote for the entire ticket personally, but to Use his utmost influence to secure the vote of acre Republican for all our candidates, without a single exception.

Remember that the election is next Tues day, and that it is every man's duty to vote Four the convicted Modocs, Captain Jack, Jim, Boston Charlie, and Behonehin, were executed by hanging at Fort Klamath last Friday morning. In one little week we shall all be able to see just how much the arithmeticil argu ments of the asiomaPc heavy-weight who lies been pitching into Mr. Mitchell have "effected" the voters of Tioga county. Captain Buddington and his party, sun vivors of the Polaris expedition, arrived off New York. last Saturday. While coming up the bay the party were taken off the steamer by, a government vessel, which left for Washington the same afternoon with_the rescued voyagers. Mr. Mitchell's assaihints are engaged In a vigorous tight with the school ma'auns all over the county,—. 7 they are trying to make the people believe Olt 4,000 is a greater number than 7,504: We predict that the school ma'ams Will come put seiveral lengths ahead. One of Mr. Mitchell's enentiesll s he "ignored the wishes of his constituency" last winter. No, sir ! Th,►t was just what you wanted him to do, and Just what he dichet do. Ile followed the wishes of his constituency of the whole county, and thdt is what makes you so mad at him now. I "Now we assume as an axiom in political ethics that had there been no more than 1,000 petitioners, be was bound al a faith- v ful Representative to have sent tbe questioni to the people." Just tentetnber that there were 7,500 men who requested their Repro, sentative fiat to do so, and then consider the above ethical gein from the pen of one of Mr. Mitchell's assailants. The Reptiblicans of Tioga county are s ure of au ample majority for their whole ticket next Tuesday, if they will only come out and vote. We therefore urge each one of them to vote, and to see that his neigh= hors vote the whole ticket. Some of our enemies hope, because Uri § is an "off-year," to catch the Republican hosts off their guard. Let us disappoint them. Four thousand people ask a member of the Legislature to do a certain thing. Sev en thousand five hundred people ask him not to do that very thing. What hi heto do Mr. Mitchell's personal enemies say he should ignore the wishes of the '7,500 and gratify the 4,0001 Mr. Mitchell thinks the majority should control—even in - Tioga county. The people will say what they think about it on the 14th of October. , The Willhelm i index is certain that we havn been ordered by the "ring" to sup port Bowen, while the little Clique of dis tressed "statesmen" who arc trying to play n double same with that gentleman at Tioga Arc coelauro that the aforesaid "ring" ,oppospd to Bowen!

The Westfield hdex should know by this time that the Aorrteron has very definite views on all - public questions, and is in the habit of -expresSing its opinions in plain English whenever any practical good- is to be accomplished thereby. 1 - Nobody who reads these columns can imagine for a mo ment that we need to be " intervidwed" by any man to inthice. us . to support Republi can candidates—even if they arcei - not of the kid-glove, "perfect-gentleman" II stamp , Nobody is deceived in the Aorr .Tort. does not profess neutrality clevro months in the year to catch subscribers, and drop the mask on the twelfth because it has been " interviewed" by some anxious candidate.

That paper goes on to say that "if, upon an examination, it appears that fully four sevenths of a county are in favor of any measure, he, their representative, should lSy aside personal interests and'do their bidding." The fact was, 'as_we have alrea dy shown, that 7,500 of Mr. Mitchell's con stituents asked him last winter to act in one way, and—if we are to credit the assertions of his enemies—but 4,000 asked him to act in another way. Mr. Mitchell did there upon do the bidding of the 7,600, and yet the index blames him for doing the bidding of an overwhelmine majority of his constit uents and declining to do that of a minor ity. The Index says, "It is presumable that the people know their wants, and it is certainly in poor taste for a representative go Idisregard the prayer of a majority of MEI , Mr. Willitelm's newspaper advocate has dropped the kid-glove argument. Wl:l . j4on't hear so much about they perfect gentle man" as , we did. The .?ntTex now admits that "so far as the candidates for gheriff are concerned, either kill probably mike good and faithful officer." This being so, it would seem to follow that the Index hopes for Mr. Willhelm's election either because he is a Democrat or because 'he is, in every sense a gentleman." Either of these rea sons- sons may, be good enough-for that sheet; but put them both together and they make a mighty poor claim for Republican votes--, especially as Mr. BoWen's enemies admit that he will make t, good and faithful officer. The Westfield index says, " The AGITA TOR indorses Men !who fought during the rebellion to destroy our Government; yes, more thatr that,—starved and murdered our soldiers." We confess we don't know what this means. We know that since the, AGI TATOR came into the hands of its present proprietors it has indorsed no such men, and we don't believe that it ever did so be fore that time. We believe the AGITATOR has always condemned, as it does to day condemn, not only the men wlio fought to destroy the Government, but the meaner men who stayed at home and sympathized with the traitors, rejoicing more or less openly in the disasters :of our armies and sneering at their successes. For all this lat ter class of men the AGITATOR has not only condemnation, but, an invincible contempt, even though some of them may come up to the indar's standard as "in every sense gen tlemen." And• this is the main reason the AcurrATou thinks Republicans should not vote for Willhelm. But We are curious. to see cir critic try to prove his sweeping ac- cusation. A Misleading Index. ( Our friend of the Index is developing his non-political charatter very rapidly. He publishes a column and a quarter of sophis try against Mr. Mitchell in .his last week's issue. The fallacies of his argument are so self-evident that it is hardly worth while to waste ink in exposinithem; but we select a few sample points for brief comment. He says: "It seems to us that the only manner in which a' representative can de termine the wishes of his constituents is by an examination of the petitions and remon strances which they may be pleased to send him." And so it seems to us. But the In dex has read the correspondence on which it comments to little purpose if it pas not already learned that Mr. Mitchell nerer re ceived any petitions from bis constituents in favor of division—unless the letter'signed by F. E. Smith and four others, which we pUblished last week, may be regarded in that light: It seems that some persons told him that they had the petitions of 4,000 men in favor of division; but they refused to let Mr. Mitchell examine those petitions, though requested to do so.. They also re fu•zett to compare the . petitions with the , re monstrances, althongli requested to do that. They finally pocketed the petitions and car ried them off; and' Mr. Mitchell doesn't - know to this day ,x•liether there were 4,000,[ or even 400 names, on their paper. And now these men 'who suppressed those peti tions are crying out that. Mi.. Mitchell has denied the right of petition! Surely, the Intic.r. is not quit le so silly as to echo th a t bald misrepresenttition. But if Mr. Mitchell did not sec the peti tions, he did sec and examine the remon strances, and found over 0,200 names upon them at that time, of which number several hundred stated that they had signed the ffe titions under misapprehension anti that they desired to remonstrate. There is no denial of these facts from any quarter. si) the case stands thus: Mr. Mitchell's ccithtitu= ents sent him remonstrances signed by more than 0,200 men, and a petition signed by 5 men, and , an oral statement that 4,000 oth ers had signed the petition also. Mr. Mitch ell did determine the wishes of his .constit uents by an examinatihn of the petitions and remonstrances which they were pleased to send him, just as the Index agrees with us that he should have done. This being the case, we don't quite understand the Index's condemnation of Mr. Mitchell. ~ ` s~i~.

I think it Oroper for the people to know the facts, ,and have no dotibt the le t I ers'w iIV , give new lightto your - readers; I therefore be : speak .for ahem- a careful- reading.' Very much has been Said upon this subject, much , that is untrue or calculated to• mislead,- and 1 it is well for those who desire to know the truth to forget, at least for the moment, till: mere reports and give their minds to a can did consideration of this correspondence. Let me say that you misprint an impor tant part of the first letter of Mr. Smith arid others' to. me, dated February 0, 1873. Where your copy.reads,."•and for the town and boro of Tioga to build_ the county buildings," the original, which I now have before.me, .reads," and for bonding the town and boro of Tioga to build the county build ings." This letter is in the handwriting of F. E. Smith, Esq., and isthe only letter of that date upon this subject received by:me. You also print the name ." T. L. Baldwin" as ogc of the signers of that letter, while the dire I have has not his namesuhseribed. Why or by whom these chang,es were made it is not for me to say. L. i i proper, bow ever, -that the proposition, as made, should be correctly stated, that the people, and par ticularly the taxpayers of Tioga township and borough, may know what it is. - * I% Perhaps the proposition to bond the towel ship apd borough would not be acceptable to the voters, who, would have to pay the bonds by taxes upon all alike, whether te 1. 1 village land owner or thd country farm r, rerining thirty or forty fears; while, to p y the interest merely, would 7 eeessitate an annal tax apout as,-large as all the local taxes neito paid or all purposes, , In your lending article last week you say, r But this model statesman (meaning me?) and erudite legislator concluded he would ignore the people who made him, and would disregard the prayer. of the , paltry• number of 4,000 taxpayers, and take upon himself the responsibility of knowing and saying what the people wanted and . hould or should not do. We are inform that he denies this, and boldly charges that the gen tlemen who visited Harrisburg have I cd, and that he never refused to have the mater submitted to the people." . ' No, sir; I did not ignore the peopk who "made" me. I was elected Representative, and for my election .am grateful to my friends in , every part of the county. Ido not look upon the opee I hold as a oirr, but Wirer as a trust, and a trust confided to me as well by the 0,000 who opposed the Dega more meat as by the 4,000 who favored it. I was not the representative of Wellsboro, or Tio ga, merely, but of the whole county. As such it was my duty to listen to the popular voice. No section had , a superior, but all an equal right to be heard upon any ques. tion involving the common interest. ' There fore I said from the eArst: lam not author ized to act upon ft question of so grave con sequence not at !Mlle in the election, unless directed to do so by a decided majority of the people. This is the substance of the_ answer 'I gave Messrs. Smith and others when I met them at Elmira on my way to Harrisburg. I was blamed by some for say- 1 ing even' this mulch, but I never doubted the correctness of this rule for the control of a Representative. The right of petition is in herent and indefeasible; it is the medium for the - expression of sentiment by the p o- 1 pie upon questions arising after the elect on of their representatives. But upon all ques- Lions there are two sides—the affirmative' and the negative; and if there be a right of petition for, there is also an equal right, of remonstrance against, them. We say the majority shall rule: "The greatest good's the greatest number." f " The will of the people is the supreme law"; and _that will is ascertained by the weight of sentiment r l— When ascertained, it is-presumed to be tke will of all, for the government 4of all, and every good eitizen•cheerfully submits td i it. , But you say I took the responsibility upon Myself and ignored the wishes of my cbn stituency. On the contrary, sir, I refuse( to take the responsibility upon myself, cast it v on the people themselves, and thereby sought to as certain the tcishes of my constituency. The op ople of Tioga made a proposition to di p de the county and remove the county s at; they alleged that the majority were in fa or it; they proposed to cut off more - ttan el.enth of the county, and to do this t ey u,st - secure a majority of all the peopl of the county, for in the end the question ust have been submitted to a vote. They ad the affirmative; and it was-for them to sow a clear majority. How did they attemp to do this? By petitions of the people. T ey procured a large number of nanies;'w err they came to Harrisburg they claims tor have about 4,000 petitioners. I have t ieir word for this, and only that, for they ear: ried the petitions home with them without giving me any opportunity to examine them, The Wellsboro people then claimed over 6,000 renionstrants. Both parties alleged that many of these names were wrongfully procured and ought not to be counted; both said that some had since signed the other way, and the Wellsboro people claimed flint a large number had signed remonstrahees stating that they had been misled in signing the. petitions. _ I repeatedly proposed a joint meeting of both parties for a hearing upon the'petitions and remonstrances, and each time the Tioga committee refused, while the 'other side expressed a willingnes to meet them. , How, then, can it be tinthfully said ; at I "ignored the wishes' of my eonstitue ts" when I pimply refused to pass a law deco nil ed by same 4,000 and objected to by ver 6,000? stating the case most favorably for Tioga. '-‘," Tioga claimed "about 4,000" in the lette4 to me of February.6th. W Ils boro then claimed over 0,000, among W om it was-alleged were many who had first sign ed among the 4,000. I afterward examihed the remonstrances, which were then 'left with me, and found there were over 6, 0 00 , names upon them, and several hundred Ra ted that they had signed the petitions uncl4 t i t mipp rehension, and that they desired to remon rate. At that time' jhe Wellsboro peopl had not completed their canvass, had 'heir committee then stated that fact to ire, and said they would have at Wrist a thou sand more. Since then lam informed that they procured over 1,200 additional. And on my return from Harrisburg - J - was &Moat •daily spoken to, and sometimes thanked,lfor refusing to pass the law, by good men who had first signed in favor of it. I have to find one man outside of Tioga who Win - me for this; when the facts are stated. " sober second thought of our people c demns the moi einent overwhelmingly, when they understand that it involves a proposi tion to give away about one-third of the whole county, and with it about $B,OOO tax annually—a• sum sufficient to pay one-t ird the county expenses. . Many who would like to favor Tioga as a county seat say they are not willing to give up so much W I , re move it thither. Letit be remembered that lam simply giving the opinions of others expressed to me. I took no part in the don test; I left it solely and entirely to the Peo• ple; my own feelings or interests we're not allowed to.aflect my course. Had it - been a Million dollarsin my pocket, I would Inot hare passed the law against the express ~wishes of my constituents. Had the peopbe "elairly decided to submit it to a vote, I shOuld undoubtedly be abused •to-day fn Wellsboroj . as I now am in 7ioga, for I 'should have passed the law if possible. When the subject Was first, mentioned to me, I regretted that such a morment was contemplated during my term in the Legislature. This was natural, though it may have been selfish. But when the .responsibility come, I accepted it pubes itatingly, as was my duty. If any supposed that I would make my official power as a mere agent of the people subservient to any local er personal interest, they mistook ',1)1B woefully._ Anything I have to give I Will freely give to my friends, •but I will not be tray a trust for any. .In private affairs your bUsiness men at Tioga ,would not, in my opinion, ask any man to do so muchL nor do I believe any onQ of them in my place would - have done what they asked of me i ,' ffM2MMIIME ME Mr. Mite&ll to,His Assailants ~, .

Hence I felt' that in a Matter Of so great consequence to them.: - I ought not to act, with* instructions; - r aad. I said I would not. .I was merely an 4gent with limited power's; the people were my prin cipals ; and although I Might • act Without their adVice, yet,, as they, were to be most affected ; it-was but proper that I should , re; fuse to act Without their directions to'dci so. Thus it was that I considered ' the office I held a trust, and not a gift—not from a part only, but from all the people. Had it been a gift, • when" once bestowed I. could have done with it as I pleased--t-could have-hand ed it over to the 4;000, (though many of them afterward' directed me not to do so,) to 400, or to 40----to Tioga or to Gaines. I might have resorted to the Caesarian meth od to.bring forth, this-thing in embryo, but I am opposed to the method save in despe rate cases, and in all where the patient ob jects. There was no great hurry in this case; we- had survived since 1806, when the county was formed and the county seat lo cated at Wellsboro; we had heard our fath ers tell of campaigns to the county seat equal to "Burnside 's Mud March"; we had lived till the pioneers had nearly i l all sunk into their graves, and had inherited avast ' deal of -their labor in good roads; we had not waited in vain even for capital to push the railroad to our present county sea.,— and really I did not think this case soad that there was not time for counsel, th e we could not wait for the doctor. So I id, i Let us hear frontthe people. And thi is j how "he ignored the wishes of the pee e," and how . ; he did "take the responsibility upon him of knowing and saying what the people wanted and should or should not do,P. -- . All your people asked, indeed 'all they could ask of me, was to favor a submission to a vote, for, as before stated, I was an agent with peivers prohibited by the Con stitution, and among these prohibited pow ers I find the following: "No county shall' be divided by a line cutting off over one tentli.of its population (either to forme new county or otherwise) without the exprds_as sent of such county by a vote of the elect ors thereof." [See Article 12 Coast. I'a.] The letter of February 6th to me states the object of the visit of the writers thereof to be " for the purpose of procuring the pass age of an act of the Legislature giving the people of Tioga county the right.to' decide by ballot," &c. Therefore they petitioned for a vote of the people, and a majority of the peo ple themselves remonetratod .against it. They had the right to remonstrate, and 'it wa,s not for ate, who in my , officio; capacity was ilie mere, servant of the people, to ask them why ,they did remonstrate. "Servants obey your Masters."- They may have a thousand reasons, for re monstrating, and whether .they had ,many or few, it was my duty to obey in a matter which must finally be decided by them.— Had there- been no trial, had there been simply a respectable showing without. oppo sition, then I might well have exercised ray own discretion about submitting it to a vote, so far as I was concerned; but I refused to exercise ?,bat discretion on my own mere will, and the Tioga people went to work un derthe rule that they must show a "deci ded =jollity" in their favor; and now, if they did not get that majority, why blame me? and if they had such majority, why did they not show it? Why did they not join issue with the other side in the joint hearing proposed? Why did they say, "Oh, we have the majority," and then refuse to show it even to me? Why put petitions of the people who prayed the passage of the law into their pockets, and then say I - de-. nied them the right of petition? They asked a vote at "the next general election." When is that election? It is now nearly at hand. Whet), at the confer ence I had with them at the Lochieil House, I finally said to them that there was no use of further discussion, (it was then after 12 o'clock at night,) I told them that if -'they de sired to hare a rote upon it, which was4clt they asked, they could do so at this election by nomi nating an unobjectionable man upon that issue. They said it would relieve me from respon sibility to pass the law, and so you say., That is very well for those who favored it; but what could I have said to the 0,000 who said "No, sir, we forbid; We have been-To the trouble of settling this matter once, and that is enough." Of course it was disagree able for ma to bp urged by those who had been my liferlong friends to do a thing ~ which 1 thought was wrong. I felt that c they ought not, to ask me to do it in,soplain a case. But, sir, you mistake my, present feeling upon this' subject when you declare that " John I. Mitchell may with truth ex claim, at the present time, ' The situation is painful to me, indeed.'" Remarkably . comfortable, sir, on the contrary. It is true I pity the confusion of some of my old friends at Tioga; but then I think they will recover gradually. " The Lord tempers the wind to the shorn lamb." Neither have I charged " that the gentle men who:visited Ilarrisbarg have lied." I have said - that some of the stories afloat, purporting to come throngh t h is source, are 'lien. For instance: "That I had sold out to Welisboro, body and breeches," as one classical gentleman is reported to have said; or as you say, " that the _honorable gentle man sold himself and his-constituents for-a renomination and the support of the Dem ocratic party." What constituents? the 4,000 or the 6,000? And as you say else where, in substance, what I have also heard as current at Tioga on the return of the Ti oga committee, that "ft long and a sleepless .night with earnest prayer and supplication was had (by the Wellsboro committee) With our Member," I may as well say that I nev er was present at any time at Harrisbing at shy such meeting. I saw a' portion of the Wellsboro gentlemen in a committee room in the afternoon for not more than three minutes. ,This House was in session, and I did not oven sit down.' I simplytold them what I had already said to the Tioga people: "Unless it shall appear to my patisfactipp that a decided majority favor tire movement, I Shall not." I should not notice any of these thin s abut for the persistent efforts which hav been made to mislead my old friends at Ti r oga. I felt. that I could afford to welt, and that some day they might know the truth. I had no desire to go back to Harrisburg till I felt that I had been misrepresented; then, as there seemed to be pretty general expectation that I should be a candidate ? , 'I anOunced that I would be, and was nomi nated without opposition. Ido not attrib ute!this result to my personal, influence, by any means; it is simply the indorsement of my ;course last winter. Some who favored that movement justify my action, and con-. sider the matter settled. In. my judgment it is'best to consider it so. It is worse than folly to keep pp local strife in spite. For my own part, I have no animosities to avenge, no ill-will to indulge, no bad wish for any; all these passions are reflexive and self-destroying, as well for communities as individuals; life is too - short, its end too cer tain, and the future too mysterious, for in dulgence of any of them. In public affairs we should certainly be able to stand on op posite sides, content to disagree. Respect- I fully yours. Jiro. 1. liirrcii,ELL. yet tea he oila NEW.TORX LETTER. .

In Brooklyn the investigation is at its hight, ,and the , situa tion is lively. The financial operations of • the Trust Company are still talked'_ about, though it -is not easy to gaiwaccess to the books of , that close vorporation. All this affords lively week-day, amusement to the citizen who owns no property, but is un pleasant to 'the taxpayer, and reflects se verely on the sensational preachers who have charge of our sister•city, on ,SUndaya. Are there no.great lights of the pulpit who can yet be added to its galaxy? SoMething must be done to reform the financial Morals of Brooklyn, or the name " Ci yof Church es" will become a e ! 41 .joke. . It seems strange that while ‘. e as a people are so given to rearing: Monti eats :to de parted greatness, it should h ve been left i u for Our Italian residents to first suggest the erection oea statue to him whose indomita ble courage and perseverance added a con tinent to the civilized world. The injustice which gave',to that continent the name of another who but followed, where Columbus had,led, can never be atoned for. But it is notloo late for us, as Americans, to testify by our co-operation in the enterprise our appreciation as a people- of that heroism which carried the Italian discoverer through , - a wilderness of untraversed seas to the emit.: ing shores of San Salvador. • . _ 4 Lately there was a queer occurrence in the Court, of General Sessions. Tile 'fore man of a jury before whom a boy had been tried on a charge of stealing a quantity of coffin plates announced a verdict of:" not guilty." A moment pr two later it'was dis covered that, ten of the jury believed the boy, "guilty." But meanwhile the youthful scamp, seizing his opportunity, had disap peared with - lightning speed, and justice was thus cheate.d of her deserts. .A gold salver, containing a thousand gold pieces, was recently openly displayed at a' wedding party.
