An Address to Itepuillow.
wELtspono, Oct. 4, 1.873:
,To the Republicans of Tioga County :'•
• The County Committee tdisires to cal
your attention tithe importance of secur
lug a full and un ted vote for all our candi
dales.
1. 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.

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

temperance." We think our record 'upon
that question is pretty well known: We be ,

as much to-day to/advance that good cause,
as—well, as, Or Democratic critic, for

how temperance is to be promoted by elect
ing the Democratic ticket or any part of iL
And we know some of the strongest and
most judicious temperance men in the coun
ty agree witliva on this point.
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

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.

, . • .
You publish one Of my let t . ers relating to the
question of dividing the county and renewing
the county seat to Tioga, mid promise to gist
your readers the balance of the correspond=
enee. 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 ,'

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.
