As address were the commonest topic,

'',lo appeal should be made to him again
for mercy ; that he would do forth, and
if Letty Gordon was alive, he would

y. From that time forward Jno.
;Gordon could look upon him as his
:deadly enemy, and remember that, as
he had denied mercy, so would it be de
nied to him. David Bigeloll - strode out
; of the room, while the old man glared
fiercely at the group, who murmured
their admiration of the carpenter, and,
one by one, followed him out.
David Bigelow had left the village,
none knew exactly where, but the sur
mise was that he had gone to London.
Days and weeks slipped by, and noth
ing was heard of him. Martha Field
was still a prisoner awaiting trial. John
Gordon was gaining strength in his
arm, the bone was knitting finely, the
doctor said, but he was not gaining
strength in "The Village Tavern."—
The neighbors came less, and gossiped
less. The story crept about. Even
those who drove up from the city knew
something About it. There was one
thing they could all see, which was,
that John Gordon's face was pale, and
the strengthl of his welcome gone.
The day for Martha Field's trial came.
There was great sympathy for her thro'
all the country. Her story was believed
—but there was no evidence. The pros
ecution made its case very clearly and
distinctly. The loss of the money was
proved, the marking, the tracing of the
marked money to the village shops,
where it had been passed by Martha.—
There was no defence; the very able
counsel, who had volunteered for her,
said that he could only make the state
ment on behalf of the prisoner; and
then he gave Martha's story of how she
had become possessed of the marked
money. There was a dead silence in
the court room as he closed a beautiful
appeal for mercy for the prisoner. In
its midst came a loud groan, and in a
moment after a shuffling of feet, and
several persons were straining to lift a
man who had slipped from one of the
benches, and lay prostrate upon the
floor. It was John Gordon, the strong
man. Weak enough now he was, as
they strove to raise him to his feet. His
eyes were wide open, and looking ea
gerly toward the judge, he said:
" Acquit her ! lam sorry. I know
she tells the truth."
" Put that man back upon the stand,"
the judge says sternly.
his heart had softened, and he could see
the truth in the story the prisoner had
told, now, when he would not see it be
fore. And so they carried him away to
his-cart, and' drove him home.
As they bore the old broken down
man out by one door,
there were eyes
met Martha from the other that made
her heart leap. Each of that jury said,
when speaking of the case afterward,
that they would have acquitted the pris
oner through sympathy, without any
evidence for the defence.
When the eyes of David Bigelow and
Lefty Gordon Met Martha's, she knew
that she wanted no sympathy now to
send her out upon the world without a
stain upon her name forever. The truth
had come, and when Letty Gordon,
now Mm. Philip Conger, threw her
arms about the prisoner's neck and kiss
ed her, while she cried and laughed by
turns, everybody knew the story as
well as though it bad been told. As a
form the evidence must be given,—and
before the tears had dried upon Letty's
cheeks, the verdict was rendered
" Not guilty 1"
How thepeople shouted, until the
judge was obliged to adjourn the court
for an hour to allow the enthusiasm
time to cool. How the news spread like
wildfire through the country town, and
the ladies looked out of their windows
and waived their handkerchiefs to Mar
tha as she passed up the street from the
court house! And how the little boys
burned up all the stray barrels and box
es that night in her honor!
John Gordon retired from being host
of " The Village Tavern," and David
Bigelow and Mrs. Martha Bigelow took
his place, and for.twenty years dispens
ed its hospitalities; after which period,
round in purse and person, they gave
way in turn. John Gordon lived many
years after, undisturbed in the wealth
that by legal right belonged to Letty.—
Philip Conger was not rich, but fortune
prospered with him, and he grew so.
On the night of Martha's arrest, with
the instinct of love, he knew that some
thing was being plotted by John Gor
don, without knowing what, and be
lieved it to be a scheme to remove Lefty.
Watching, be saw old Brown drive to
the door with his cart. He stole noise
lessly to the back of the house. He
heard Martha summoned to the parlor.
There was no time to lose. He knew
every step of the house, and in a mo
ment was , beside Letty. There was no
time for preparation, for thought. While
the two men were accusing Martha in
the parlor, the lovers were flying thro'
the garden, and ignorant of all that oc
curred, until David Bigelow, by never
ceasing search, found them and told the
story.
hope that it is not taking away the I
romance of my tale, to tell that Letty
Gordon and Martha Field, that were,
are both grandmothers, comely and
handsome at that.
Thy.Col.TrltAST.—lt is not generally
known as it should be, that our gallant
candidate for Governor, General. Geary,
was engaged in nearly sixty battles,
during the Mexican war and the late
rebelhon, and that besides having his
son shot down by his side, he was
wounded on three different occasions,
and has at this day- an open wound in
his breast.
Now look at the other picture. We
have, it is true, as his competitor, a

which side?

So the Republican majority in the dis
trict was 1995, last fall. With an united
party vote, preceded by faithful work
ing, we don't Esee much chance to elect
either a Copperhead or a half-breed Re
publican. Our opponentS are welcome
to all the comfort they can derive from
these figures.
TO WORE!
There are millions of bushels of corn
and wheat latent under the stiff', unbro
ken sward of the rich prairies of the
West. But until that sward shall be
turned under by the plow of the pio
neer, and the rich loam. turned up to
sun and rain, and the seed sowed or
planted, those granaries full of• wheat
and corn can never be made available
to man.
So let us be taught. Bich and pro
ductive soil, untilled, is of less worth to
the world than a hard and sterile soil
well cultivated. The lesson is won.g.
Politically, Tioga county bears a proud
reputation among the friends of free in
stitutions, and a Government founded
upon justice to all men. We have earn
ed this reputation as a body of working
men. The heavy Republican majorities

moral influences. They haVe not been,
and cannot be, fortuitous happenings.
Every triumph has been achieved by
the energy, vigilance, and zeal of the
people themselves.
For ten years each campaign has been
more important than its predecessor.—
It has been a revolutionary decade. Du
ring these ten years, the great work of
disenthralling the land has been oing
on. It is fn the nature of such struggles
that they should - broaden, and deepen,
and grow in importance, as they near
their final settlement.
And this is why we have found it ne
cessary to say in the opening of each
campaign in the past, that it was to be
the most important in its results of any
which the people had ever been called
to meet. It is for this reason that we
now, at the outset of the campaign for
Governor and Congressman, say, that
the contest is big with fate. Nqne of
us . have ever cast a vote which- at all
compares with the vote we shall each
drop into the ballot-box next October,
life and health spared.
The question is direct and simple. It
ismot whether suffrage shall be univer
sal or limited, though our opponents so
declare. It is not whether this or that
man shall be lifted to this or that place,
though it so appear on the cursory view.
The question, the real question to be dis
cussed and settled by our votes this com
ing fall, is, shall the settlement of nation
al difficulties be given into the hands of
the men who lately undertook the over
throw of this republic, and their aiders
and abettors in the North, or shall the
great Union party, which fought the
fight in field and council and subdued re
bellion in the south and Copperheadism
at home, adjust the balances of justice
and pave the Way to a permanent peace.
That, friends, is Flae question which
we have to settle at the ballot-box in
October. Those who seek to cover it
up, or complicate it, are now t as but
lately, the open enemies of true and
lasting peace.
We are among those who, believe
Mester Clymer to be thoroughly separa
ted from the people in education and
sympathy. He is notrepubliean in the
marrow of his mind. He was, beyond
dispute, opposed to the war of national
deliverance, and proved it by his refu.4
sal to vote, as senator, thanks to brave
Union Generals and the as brave sot:
diem who fought the common fight of
mankind and rescued the nation from
the clutches of treason. He proved it
by voting against giving these brave
soldiers the right to vote while fighting
the battles of the country. And by the
unimpeachable record, he can be con
victed of treason in all that constitutes
the essentials of that high crime.
Friends, we have to choose between
such a man to wield chief authority in
this Commonwealth, and the brave and
patriotic Geary, who was in the field do
ing battle for us all, while his opponent
stayed at home, and sought to plant
thorns in the path to national deliver-
We have no difficulty in making the
choice. Rather than cast a vote for
Mester Clymer, we would submit our
----7- Trighi arm to the fife, as did-SeeVnlii in
tthe old time. -
° We shall continue to labor with such
nergy as God endows us with, to the
end that truth may triutuith and justice
be everlastingly established on - this
earth. Now, as ever, we have no axes
to grind. „And we only ask the good
and true men of Tioga county to put
their shoulders to the wheel with us,
.and altogether give the finishing stroke
to treason ih Pennsylvania.
We have much to contend against.—
Third parties, though important for
good, sometimes greatly increase the
work of campaigns- The effort to ; or 7 ,
ganize a " National Johnson Party,"
now being put forth, has especial refer
ence to Pennsylvania. Not for a mo
ment do we believe in its success. But
it behooves 'us to work as we never
worked before.
The measure of strength is the ac
knowledgment of all, the power an op
ponent claims for himself, and then to
put him down by superior-diligence.
That is the work before us. Are you
ready for it? '
The Clinton Democrat asks : "Shall
Kangaroos vote?" Yes, if Kangaroos
are Men, with immortal souls and capa
ble of being raised to the higher state
of being.
We answer this question to expose
the puerility of the arguments and ef
forts of the Clymer Press everywhere.
The Constitution of Pennsylvania pre
scribes who shall vote in Pennsylvania,
and the election laws made in pursuance
thereof further define and establish
class,suffrage in this Commonwealth.—
Under the Constitution negroes cannot
vote here. Outside of that instrument
nobody votes here. Therefore, when
our unscrupulous opponents declare, as
does the sheet above named, that the
Republicans are inviting negroes to
choose the men to whom we will entrust
the Government, they declare what they
know to_be without foundation, in fact
or probability.
Intelligent men know that Republi
cans differ in sentiment as to suffrage.
Some, like Mr. Greeley, advocate uni
versal suffrage. Others would confine
suffrage to the white men. Others, still,
ourself among them, advocate suffrage
upon a basis of intelligence, without re
gard to anything but true allegiance
and good citizenship. We have advo
cated this view for thirteen years, and
shall advocate it to the end.

Negroes owning freeholds worth $250,
vote in New York. The law giving
them the ballot there, was made by a
Democratic Legislature. We regard it
as a bad law. Property has nothing to
do with man's capacity to vote intelli
gently. Better not vote at all, than to
vote on such paltry accidents. Presi
dent Johnson has declared in favor of
enfranchising all negroes in. the south
who can read and write; who own a
certain amount of property ; and those
who have served in the Union army
with credit. We_ dissent frora _that,

policy out of the papers and books, and
to no others. If, as our fathers declared,
the stability of free government depends
upon the intelligence of the people, then
let intelligence be the standard for suf
frage, and neither property, color, -nor
nativity.
Our opponents dare not meet this ar
gument. They prefer boyish lying and
bald perversion of facts. They are wise ;
for nothing but falsehood can raise them
out of the dust of party, ruin, if even
that can, which we gravely doubt. ,
TROALAS NAZT contributes a cartoon
to'Harper'a Weekly of last week, which
contains the most trenchant irony of
expression ever achieved by a picture.
It is a double picture, one portion re
vealing a harrowing picture of Ander
sonville, with Death and Starvation at
their horrid work; the other represents
Jefferson Davis in a recumbent position,
attended by careful and sympathizing
surgeons and nurses, an.dstfrrounded by
the men who undertook to render trea
son odious. We see, In the firstpictare,
the sentinels firing upon dying men.—
In the second, the sentinels are repre
sented walking upon tiptoe on carpeted
beats. Was there ever a more righteous
exposure of humbug clemency than
this?
Jeff. Davis is responsible for the mur
der of our prisoners of war at Belle Isle,
Salisbury, and Andersonville. There
is no denying it. Norman, not a rebel
at heart, does deny it, aftr cidixt reflec
tion. Without any feeling of revenge,
without any thirst for blood, we say that
justice, and the safety of the country,
demand that Jefferson Davis be sternly
dealt with. Rick snobbish army sur
geons out of Fortress Monroe, andleave
God Almighty to deal with the villain.
Give us that, Andrew Johnson. The
people, whose instincts are better than
the instincts of their servants, ask but
justice. Think of it ! The " stern states
man," the leader of a crusade against
free government, whining about the
creak of the sentry's boots ! "Ye gods,
it cloth amaze reel Upon what meat
does this our Cesar feed that he bath
grown so great!" He whines "like a
sick girl."
Gentlemen of the State Committee,
give us one of those pictures by NAST
to hang up in every Northern home.--
It speaks as never man spake.
" Ye Democracy" are wholly depend
ent upon the 800-Hoe order of political
literature just now, and Brick Pomeioy,
of the La Crosse Democrat, is their
grand lachrymal reservoir. He is tre
mendous on sensation 800-Heo. We
segregate a few sample bricks from Lau
ra Matilda Pomeroy's last offspring :
The future is to bo bright, united and buppy,
or dark, bloody and terrible, as we choose."
Think of that! As we choose. Just
so, Laura Matilda. You, and such as
you, chose to plunge this land into the
gulf of war in 1861. You now, speak
ing for the same "we," announce that
the issues of peace and war are in your
hands. It is to be hoped that you may
not again set the tire and run away by
the light of it, as you did before. Again :
" If the Democracy, is the great struggle now
upon us, wins the battle, the past is epded, the
country eave,l,"
Think of that! - "The past ended."
We' bad supposed that time, and its
events,, were continuous, and that it
came down without a broken link to
the confines of that other, indefinable
something called "eternity." Howev
er, we are glad to know it, if it be so,
that the success of Copperheadisra.will
,put a finishing stroke upon the past,
and sever the bonds of time. It is well
to give notice of such great. vents.-:
Ttizink - 'ee. Again :
" If not, we must wade to our inheritance thro'
blond, herein the North, and 'the scenes of the
past will soon be re enacted at our ownTdoors.'
We hope not. We suspect that the
" Democracy" will wade to their inher
itance, not through blood, but through
the, sulphurous slag which eharacterizes
the bottomless pit.
THE CAMPAIGN OPENED
Col. J. W. FORNEY, editor of the Phi
ladelphia Press, and Secretary of the
Senate of the United States, opened the
campaign in a glowing speech to the
people of Lebauon county, on the 21st
ultimo.
We have never read a more thorough
and exhaustiVe speech than this. Be
ginning with the, initial events - of the
great war for freedom, and following
men, measures, and happenings, con
secutively and closely down to the pres
ent moment, it constitutes an effort of
great power, breadth of view, and im
partiality. In fact, it is a concise rela
tion of the history of the country, in its
political aspect; for the last five years.
What we like particularly in this
speech, is its strongly expressed confi
dence in the virtue andintegrity of, the
people, and its frank treatment of all,
the issues growing out of the work of
reconstruction. It takes great liberties
with the record of public men, and cov
ers up none of the glaring inconsisten
cies which disfigure even the highest
functionary. Col. Forney, in announc
ing himself as a candidate for the Vatted
States Senate, or rather in alluding to
the fact that he had been named as a
candidate for that position, took care to
speak fairly and frankly upon all the
questions now uppermost in the public
mind. Re deelared•himself for impar
tial suffrage, embracing all classes of
American citizens, without respect to
creed, color or nativity,' as the only
means of restoring the republic to a.
state of permanent peace and prosperi
ty. We could have wished fora further
dwelling upon the point, and an argu..
went for basing suffrage upon intelli
gence, which we understood to. be Col.
Forney's meaning in the use of the ad
jective "Impartial."
Col. F. will prove to be a formidable
opponent in the Senatorial contest. He
is a man of remarkable intellectual en
ergy and capacity, and has as good a
record for loyalty as any man in the
country. His speech will probably
bring the other candidates to their feet,
with further declarations of platforms
Last week we published the proposed
constitutional amendment relative to
reconstruction. This was a concurrent
resolution, and as such did not require
the Presidsnt's signature. The Presi
dent had no more to do with it, except
to send it to the Governors of the seve
ral States, than John Doe or Richard
Roe. However, on the 22d of June he
sent in a message to Congress, disap
proving of the constitutional amend
ment. He objects, as usual, that eleven
of the States are not represented in Con
gress, and that the " sovereign people"
of the United States have not had the
matter submitted to them.
His approval or disapproval is of no
consequence. And as to the non-repre
sentation of eleven States, Mr. Johnson
may as well understand, once and for
all, that the loyal men of the Union
will never consent to the admission of
such representatives as have generally
presented themselves at the doors of
Congress. They will never consent to
the admission of ex-rebels to make laws
for this republic. If they were so fatu
ous, they would deserve another war,
as terrible as that just passed through,
and they would get it. Admitthe rebel
States on Johnson's plan, and their rep
resentatives will force another war for
" freedom and independence" upon the
General Government, in less than three
years.
We regret that Mr. Johnson 'should
make such a ridiculous exhibition of
himself as he did in lecturing Congress
upon a a - stater, with the merits or de
merits of which he bad no more to do
than any private citizen. He will, yet
pray for oblivion.
The war has actually- begun in Eu
rope. Austria and the Germanic Con
federation against Prussia, and Italy, so
far as heard from. The former have
950,000 men in the field. It is doubtful
if France and England can avoid mix
ing up in the struggle. Let it come,
and, we trust, to the destruction of au
tocracy, wherever .the people are pre
pared for a more human form of gov
ernment.
/ECON. S. P. WILEON.
We find the following very just and
handsome notice of Mr. Wilson in the
" American Loyalist," published in
Washington :
"One of the youngest and newest members of
the Hods°, and a' gentleman whose affability of
temper and urbanity of manner commends him
to the favorable notice of all with whom he is
brom. lit in contact, is the Hen. Stephen F. Wil
son, from the 18th district of Pennsylvania. As
a member of the lower body of Congress, elected
for the first time to fill the place of the lion. j a a.
T. Hale, and, too, white serving as a member of
the Pennsylvania Senate, ho has exhibited every
necessary qualification to become another worthy
representative among tho number which have
been sent from the uld Keystone State. -
" Having modestly forbore to exercise his vocal
power with others in the discussion of the many
momentous issues which have been brought be
fore this Congress, a sacrifice as praiseworthy as
it was proper; wisely preferring to listen to the
theme, and searching review of every question
which has been presented, ho has nevertheless
been eminently conscientious and faithful in the
discbalge of his duties, Always in his seat, he
has never allowed an opportunity of gathering
information upon all points pertaining to national
legislation, to pass by without having impressed
the benefits of such information upon his mind' ,
and we are glad to have noticed the result to btf,
that his votes have been 'invariably cast - en the
side of right and the right side; not especially as
applied to the great matter of legislation, but in
all the miner details of legislative business—
which latter, we would observe, requires as much
clearness and eorreotness as the former. With a
continuance in and observance of the same hue
of conduct which has marked his course during
tho present scission, he cannot fail to make his
endeavors sensibly felt among his constituents,
and recommend himself to their consideration for
re-election."
