.[For the Agitator.] A Word to Soldiers. INTO. I. Comrades : Signs are pretty safe in dicators; straws tell whieli way the wind blows. Plain facts require plain words. In a few familiar letters to you, I shall try to bear these facts in mind. It is common for us to say, " The war is ended." We have laid aside our war like accouterments; the drum and bu gle no longer call us to the field; other implements fill our hands, and, to the unreflecting, we have peace. But the war is not ended ; its form only is chang ed—not its nature. As soldiers, we had a work to do; un der God we did it. We had armed trea son to put down. We fought, bled, en dured—conquered ! And treason was put down—degraded, and made odious. Our fallen comrades were buried, we thought, on the field of honor! To-day treason is up ; and men who then said it should be made odious, are now striv ing to make it honorable. As citizens, we have a work to do.— We are organized : we can do it, and we will. Then, we had an open foe to fight. That was at least fair play. And when they were whipped, they acknowledged it. Now, we have a more cowardly, but more stealthy enemy. Then we had a foe—the one at our front—worthy our steel. Now we have one who would treacherously stab us in the dark ! Then we used the bayonet ; now the ballot— if we may ; the sword, if we must ! Your knowledge and convictions of the past and the present, tell you that I have not overstated the fact, nor the danger. I will not deal in epithets, though cases of enormous depravity seem to justify, if not demand it. The President is a renegade to truth, to principle, to most sacred vows and solemn obligations! He is a traitor to the principles of the great party that placed him in power—the principles that changed our liberty on a parch ment scroll to something like reality ; principles that alone can save this coun try. This man seeks deliberately to subvert all that was gained by the war. He has no claims to statesmanship, on the broad and only true ground, of hu manity, immutable justice, and equal laws and right& to all men. His 22d of February speech reveals the animus of the man. There is no use denying— there is no need of it—that he is hand and glove with that type -of men who in the darkest hour of our national peril declared the war a failure. Neither is it anything new to say—once a Hunker always a Hunker. Meet it is—set it down,—the man is Southern born, and his defection is bred in the bone ;—and his natural instinct will crop out. And it is having its natural effect. Union men to-day are leaving the South by thousands, to escape the reign of terror'. —the mobs, the riots, the assassinations, the murders, instigated by his express sanction ! Who'does he have about him—closet ed with him? Vallandigham, a man who wonld gladly have led an army of Northern rebels against our rear, in the darkest hour of the war. Rebel Gen erals, who did lead armies against us, and would gladly do so again. Men who, living in the North, made slavery their god, and Smiled and smiled, when our armies were defeated.• And other real and would-be .assassins and cut throats, who toasted Lee and Beaure gard upon similar occasions. Men that worshipped Jefi. Davis, whose hands are red, and whose soul is black, with the blood and ferocious deeds done at Andersonville ! These are the men whom he delights to honor! A man is known by the company he keeps.— These men—l bluish to call them such— want the array disbanded, and the freed men handed'over to the tender mercies of.their old masters. He is in favor of it: They want to revive the traffic in souls, the gag, the whip, the chains, and the tortures ;—he is in favor of it. They want to redden the streets of every Sou thern city with the warm life-blood of every man that wore the blue uniforha ; —he is in favor of it. They want to le galize the inhuman and brutal massacre of peaceable men, assembled under sanction of law, for peaceful purposes; =he is in favor of it. They want him for their next - President; he is in favor of it. They want to see Thaddeus Ste vens, Wendell Phillips, Sumner, Bee cher and Greeley, guillotined ; he is in favor of it. Finally, they want to rule again the country they tried to destroy because they couldn't rule it ;—he is in favor of it In short, they mean, to "rule or ruin ;" and in the event of heir failing in the first, they intend—no matter what they say—to wreak their revenge for the loss of power and position, at the expense of the liberties of the people ! To this fearful pass are these wicked men driv en. Crafty, desperate, unscrupulous— were there a hope of success, they would again plunge the country into a bloody revolt! If they do, a long rope and a short shrift will tell the story. An enlightened statesman, whose acts are sanctioned by his conscience, com mands our admiration • but a truckling demagogue, imbued only with hate and partisan prejudice, merits our contempt. Words of censure, we know, should not be lightly or hastily cast upon pub lic men, on mere conjectural grounds, or for unintentional mistakes; but the coolest-headed man, if honest, will pro nounce theabove statements to be lite ral facts—and damning to those whose perfidy they record. Prejudice and hot-headed passion are apt to lead men to extremes. Let us avoid both ; but with unswerving fidel ity and devotion to the ideas that we fought for, let us fight manfully the bat tle out. Our country's affairs are alarming enough to arouse the attention of every man that pretends to any concern for it; and those whose patriotism prompted them to offer their lives to save her from destruction in the past, will not be found wanting now. Loyalty is a rational at tachment to principles—uotmen. It is the noblest passion that can animate a man. It characterizes every good citi zen. History scarcely furnishes an instance of so sudden and extraordinary a change as our nation has undergone; and it needs men now with heads and con , science aright, hearts to guide that con ception, and hands to execute. Con gress will do the first, and a loyal people must do the rest. Every man who loves _his country should act ;—a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull together. All men are in terested in this question; it is a com mon cause. He who neglects it now, by inaction or indifference, strikes a blow at his own interests. Boys ! let us stick to our colors—the "old flag"— come what will. Dare to do right, and face the worst.

RICHARD'S cry for a horse is about to be drowned out by the cry of the new party for a name. The Raymond Weed committee pondered long • over it, and quarrelled, to no effect. Call it " Icha bod." THE TICKET. The Convention which assembled on the 24th was composed of men who rank among the best and most intelli gent men of the Republican party in our county: The, utmost harmony and good feeling prevailed, and the contest for preference in some cases, though act ive and decided, was characterized by that good humor which purges strife of all bitterness. The ticket is a st+g one, and gives general satisfaction, \ We have seldom, been, called upon td 'support one more unexceptionable. The unanimous recommendation of; Hon. S. F. Wn...soN for renomination was expected and well-deserved. He is so well known to our people that we need say no more than that - his course in the present Congress has met the un qualified approval of the Republicans of Tioga county. No man has deserved bettey - the support of his constituents; and notwifirstanding the unconsciona ble lying of the Copperhead press and leaders, we regard his re-election by a majority of 1500 in the district as be yond question. If every Republican does his duty in this crisis, that majori ty may be increased to an equality with that which the district gave Hartrauft last fall, dr upward of 1900. Dr. W. T. HUMPHREY, renominated for Assembly, is so well known to the people, and especially to the soldiers, as to need no eulogy at our ) hands. His record as a legislator last winter war rants us in saying that he was ever at his post, and ever obedientlo the clear ly expressed will of his constituents.— He will be triumphantly re-elected. •Mr. C. F. VEIL, of Liberty, nomina ted for Associate Judge, is also well known to our citizens; and possesses a large measure of public esteem. He has served the people faithfully as county Auditor for a term of eleven years, is a man of liberal education, enlarged judg ment, and unblemished character. His associate on the ticket, Mr. E. T. BENTLEY, of Tioga, bears an enviable reputation as a man and a citizen.' He is a man of energy and enlightened judgment, and will fill the position with credit. Of the candidate for Prothonotary, Mr. DONALDSON, it will hardly be ne cessary for us to speak at length. Ma ny of our citizens may have heard of him, some have seen him, and a major ity of his party have decided not to dis pense with his services. No more faith ful and efficient public officer can be found here or else Where. Sergeant D. L. DEANE, of Delmar, nominated for Register and Recorder, is a young man of much promise and unblemished character. He was Ser geant Major of the 207th regiment, and lost an arm while bravely fighting be fore Petersburg. His education and tal ents peculiarly fit him for the discharge of the duties of the place, and his ser vice and sacrifice will serve to swell his majority. Mr. P. V. VANNESS, of Rutland, nom inated for Commissioner, is a most ex cellent selection. A good economist in his own affairs, of mature and practical judgment, he brings to the position all the requisites of a good officer. As a man and a citizen he bears an unblem= ished reputation. Mr. ISRAEL STONE, of Delmar, will make a first rate Auditor. He is one of the best accoutants we know of, and takes to figures RS naturally as a good man to good company. Of him, also, we can say'that his integrity is beyond question. And of all who go to make up the ticket we can say in addition, that they are men of staunch Republican princi ples, who have been tried and found true, and who fairly represent the prin ciples of the Republican party. Their " calling and electibn" may be consid ered sure. Let us make it unmistaka ble. Those who know Senator Doolittle will enjoy the Tribune'e joke upon one sentence in his opening speech as Chair man of the Philadelphia Convention. " This," quoth Doolittle, "is a body greater in numbers and in weight of character and brain than ever assembled on this continent under one roof." To which the Tribune replies tliat ev ery Kickapoo rising in war council to . _ address his lousy followers, invariably declares'his tribe to be the biggest in the world, adding the invariable sequence : " Big Nun in° !" When it is added that Doolittle is one of the most vain of our public men, the " piint" of the joke appears. We suppose Olathe new party which is hoped for from the incubation of the Philadelphia Convention of Want- Somethings and Got-Somethings, will have to select its colors. It will be re membered that the rebels had a difficult time of it in selecting theirs in 1861. So we suggest, as a matter of kindness to the neophytes, that they select gray and blue for their flag, the gray being largely predominant. As Doolittle. Ran dall, and Dix were at oue time in favor of the blue uniform as against the Con federate gray, they ought to have a patch of blue in one corner. A gray field with a-blue patch would not be inap propriate. GEARY, On the 3d day of September. or next Monday, a Convention of Southern Un ionists will meet in Philadelphia. This Convention will be composed of men who were opposed to the original seces sion of their States, and remained true to the Government during the long and weary war. They were Union men when it cost something to be so. They were under the ban, and opposed by the Southern members of the late Philadel phia Convention. You will find no Confederate gray under their overcoats. You will not find among them many, probably not one, of those who fought the battles of the Confederacy. You will find them devoted to the govern ment established by the fathers of the Republic—men who accept the " situa tion," the Civil Rights bill, the new amendment to the Constitution, and the Congressional policy of reconstruction. You will find none of them admirers of Andrew Johnson or of Jeff. Davis, -nor even of Northern Copperheads. Nei ther Raymond, nor Weed, nor Vallan digham, nor Fernando Wood, nor Billy Bigler, nor Frank Hughes, will be there. No Copperheads will go there to give it countenance. With the purposel4 and men of that Convention we syrnpathize. With the Johnson Convention we did not sympa thize. The Republicans of Potter county held their Convention on the 16th inst. John S. Mann was nominated for As sembly, H. J. Olmsted for Prothonota ry, J. W. Stevens for Treasurer, Dan Baker for Register. ,The Convention recommended the renomination of Hon. S. F. Wilson• for Congress, and appoint ed Isaac Benson, A. G. Olmsted, and D. C. Larrabee, Conferees. The ticket is a first rate one. The Republicans of Lycouiing county held their Convention on the 22d, and the renomination of Mr. Wilson for Congress was unanimously agreed upon. The President has issued a proclama tion declaring Texas purified, " redeem ed and disenthralled," abolishing mar tial law therein, and giving the desti nies of the State into the hands of Throckmorton, Governor, and his rebel associates. We hope it may not be ne cessary-to chronicle massacres of Union men in Texas, as a consequence_ of this new carrying out of the Presidential policy. But it is not improbable. The abolition of military rule in Texas does not promise much for the peace and pro tection of those who remained true to the old flag during the days of rebellion. The military investigation of the N. Orleans massacre brings to light the fact that the massacre was prearranged by the rebel Mayor and the various rebel organizations, and that passwords and grips were used bY the police and their rebel backers. Gen. Sheridan has sent forward Geo. Baird's report, with a re quest that it be published. When that is done, let us have the actual despatch from Sheridan which Andrew Johnson read and flung under the table. Let us have it. The iirst article of the amended Con stitution of the United States guarantees to the people the right peaceably to as semble and petition the government for a redress of grievances. This, of course, carries with it the right of the people peaceably to assem ble for any purpose not forbidden by the Constitution. The Union men of Louisiana, purtiu ant to public notice, convened in New Orleans on the 30th day of last July.— The Governor of the State issued writs of election to fill vacancies in that Con vention, thus recognizing it as a legal assembly under the State laws. The police of the city, under the di rection of Monroe, Mayor of the city, a pardoned rebel, set upon this Conven tion with clubs and pistols, and killed and wounded all but three of the mem bers present. Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, telegraphed his Attorney General, a pardoned rebel General, to suppress the Convention at all hazards. This gave new life to the rebels; and they set upon the Union men and freed men anew, and paused not in their bloody work until more than 300 men were killed and wounded. The question is : Did not Mayor Mon roe and Andrew \Johnson , jointly and severally, ruthlesSly trample upon one of the most sacred guaranties of the Constitution ? It is not alleged that either the Con vention or the freedmen had offered vio lence to any living mortal. It was em phatically a peaceable assembly of the people. This question must be answered. We shall carry it before the people at all times and in all proper places. Neither Andrew Johnson nor his satellites will be permitted to dodge the question.— They shall carry the burden of "their crime before the enlightened tribunal of public opinion until their shoulders crack, and their guilty souls call for the mountains and rocks to fall upon and hide them. The Copperhead Convention of Clin ton county nominated Wright for Con gress by acclamation. That was well done. ,Idr. Wright is as unobjectiona ble as any man of that party, is rich, is willing to bleed, has bled for the benefit of the party, will spend some of his surplus fluids upon the campaign, and bear defeat as gracefully as " any other man." He is able enough to 'represent the party-an-ywhere—in Congress or out of it ; is a pure lump of native copper, unannealed. . G. 0. Deise was aomioated for As sembly—a nomination fit to be made by that party. In last week's Harpers' Weekly the portraits of Dr. Dostie, the Union mar tyr of New Orleans, and of Mayor Mon - roe, of that city, are published side by side. If any man doubts that men car ry their characters in their faces some times, we commend these portraits to his consideration. There is not a child in the land, not utterly depraved by education and nature, who could not distinguish between the murderer and his victim at once. This reminds us that i t Harpers' illus trated paper is the best iti the country, and the cheapest. The COpperheads of Pennsylvania, like the murderers of Union men in Louisiana, are desperately afraid of Gen. Butler. That ogre, whose military ca reer in New Orleans offends rebels, and rebels only, spoke in Reading on the 22d instant, at the great mass meeting for Geary. The Copperhead papers are white with the froth of Impotent rage because " Beast Butler" is about to can vass the State for Geary. " Beast" But ler, as our readers know, won his name in putting down a rebellion of the De mocracy. He is named. " Beast" by po litical brutes which have neither horns nor hoofs. As the rebels call him 'Beast,' so their cowardly sympathizers in the North echo the appellation, like good boys mimicking master. Certainly Gen. Butler is to canvass the State for Geary. He is coming to Tioga county, too. Will some of the nice boys who lead the Coppery crew hereabout " pre pare to pucker" for a howl ? Let us have a little uncommon agony for the occa sion. Give us some of those brilliant sayings which remind one of the de lightful days of school-boy-hood. Well, the General made a grand speech at Reading, and the Clymer papers are sweating over it. He has a way of tell ing the truth which does not soothe the ruffled feelings of that class of patriots whose hearts are with the enemies of free government.' - Dull and fiat as the Bread-and-But ternut Convention was, it had its little joke. During deliberations a dis patch was received by Doolittle, from somewhere out Wst, to the effect that the Johnson candidate for Delegate to Congress from Colorado had been elect ed over the Radical candidate. The cheering over this news was immense. This was the joke of some irreverent fellow ; for the fact turns out to be that the Copperheads are completely routed in that Territory, and Chillicott, the Radical candidate for Delegate, is elect ed by a handsouie majority. And this is a sample of the victories Copper-John sonism is to win the coming fall. Hur rah! The Republican County Convention Met pursuant to call, in the Court House, on Fri day, August 24, at two o'clock P. M., and organ • iced by electing C. H.

That we re declare our allegiance to the Constitution and the laws made pursuant thereto, to the end that stable peace, personal and popular liberty, and equality before the law, may be es tablished and maintained. 2. That treason is a high crime •, that traitors are criminals • that the first should be rendered odious as well as dangerous; and that traitors, c,.pecially the leaders, should be condignly pun 3. That Radicalism to-day means fidelity to the eaua of universal peace and freedom;' that the evils which threaten the nation are radical evils, aad call for radical remedies. 4. That we repudiate Andrew Johnson's policy of reconstruction, as fruitful of riots and massa cres of Union men in the South, as an °Ter of a premium for perfidy; and if it shall prevail, as the beginning of the overthrow of our liberties. 5. That we sacredly pledge oar voices, votes, and influence to sustain and encourage Congress to its policy of demanding " indemnity for the past and security for the future, " as a condition precedent to the reunion of te States by repro s' citation in Congress; and that its proposed amendment to the Constitution, basing represen tation upon the actual number of voters, meets our unqualified approbation. 6 . That Congress, by special mention in the organic law, is made the high court be cst hich Presidents may be arraigned; and then -tore that Andrew Johnson was guilty of insolence toward that body, when he said in a recent speech that Congress was "hanging upon the verge of the Government° . . 7.

Id. ii. H. CM, Seeretaly: Wellabom August 1,1566.-d1 THE EXTRA TRIBUNE for the POLITIC: , CAMPAIGN. A political struggle, rarely surpassed in ithpor• tenets or intensity, has been precipitated on the country by the treachery of Andrew Johnson and smuts of his official or personal adherents to the great patriotic party by which they were entrust ed with power. The aim of this treachery is to put the stead fast loyalists of the South under the fact of the '1 whipped but nut subdued" Rebels, and to ena ble the tatter to glut their vengeance on the for mer, whom they hate and curse as responsible fur the most unexpected or...rthrow of their darling " Confederacy." The recent wholesale massacres at Memphis and New Orleans iverebut-conspicnons manifestations of the spirit now rampant in the South, whereof the pro Rebel triuMph in lieutucky is a more re cent example. The soldiers of Lee, Bcauregard, Johnston and Hood are now the dominant power from the Potomac to the Rio Grande; they elect each other to uffice in preference even to stay-at home Rebels; they have supplanted nearly all others as policemen of Southern cities; they are organized and officered as State militia; and they ruthlessly crumb every demonstration of loyal whites or loyal blacks in assertion of the EQUAL RIGHTS of AMERICAN FREEMEN. The school houses of the blacks are burned and their white teachers subjected to violence and outrage by unchanged Rebels, who relieve tho work of murder and arson by cheers for Andy Johnson and execrations of Congress. The purpose of forcing representatives of the rebel States into Congress, in defiance of the loy al oath, by Presidential fiat and military power, is openly avowed, with threats that those who resist it shall be treated as rebels, and a civil war thus kindled throughout the North and West. It has thus become imperative that those who stand fur LIBERTY and LOYALTY—for the right of the UNION, to exist and of MAN to be FREE—should organize and work to strengthen the hands of CONGRESS fur the inevitable coo ! test before us. We must convince the SOUTH and the COP PERHEADS that revolutions go not backward— that Emancipation is an unchangeable fact—that the glorious CIVIL RIGHTS ACT can never be repealed—that the rights of the humblest AMER ICAN are henceforth guaranteed and shielded by the FEDERAL CONSTITUTION and must be maintained against all gainsayers—that the days wherein BLACKS had no rights which WHITES were bound to respect, have passed away forever. We hold to•day the power in all the FREE STATES of 1860, in ►VEST VIRGINIA, and in MISSOURI beside. We must hold these in our ensuing °factions, and add to them MARYLAND and DELAWARE—the former lost to us through treachery, otherwise Johnsonisea r We must elect to the XLth Congress an overwhelming majority devoted to Loyalty, Nationality, and the inalien able Rights of Man. Tolhie end let Light and Truth-be systemati cally diffused to every neighborhood, every fire side, throughout our broad country. To this end we propose an extra issue of THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE, (identical in size and contents with the regular edition), which we will supply to all subscriptions received prior to September 12, on the following terms, the paper to be sent and subscriptions to commence on receipt of the money : 2 copies for three months 12 copies for three mouths 26 copies for three months 60 copies for three months .... 100 copies for three months PAYABLE ALWAYS ES ADVANCE All friends of the cause are invited to form clubs.
