GRAND MASS MEETING!
AT TIOG-A,
Thursday, Sept. 20.
HON. JOHN W. FORNEY
Will positively be present and ad
dress the people..
MAJOR PITKIN,
a survivor of the "My Policy"
Massacre at New Orleans, and one
of the finest orators in the country,
will likewise be present.
Let us make it a rousing meeting.
Let the Republicans in every dist
rict make ample preparations to send
good delegations.
It is hardly necessary to state that the
Aimmbly Conference, which met last
Thursday, nominated Dr. Humphrey
and John S. Mann for Assembly. Let
us give them the rousingest of majori
ties.
The Congressional Conference met at
Williamsport last Thursday, and nomi
nated S. F. Wilson by acclamation.—
Every county was fully represented.—
The delegations Stated to the Confer
ence that the Conventions of their re
spective counties instructed for NVlllson
by acclamation. The utmost enthusi
asm prevakked, arl . the lower counties
regard Wit n's election by s maioritY
of 2,000 as certain. Proceedings of the
Conference in detail have not reaehed us.
i BHALL THE NATION LIVE P
This was a voiceless question among
earnest friends of the Government' for
four years of war. Thousands hoped in
fear and trembling. Other thousands
were always cheered by a preientiment
of success.
When the last rebel army surrender
ed, the nearly unanimous verdict was
that the war was ended. Thikwas a
bitter mistake.
War is but conflict between antago
nistic forces. The war did not end at
that time. It has not yet ended. The
war between Right and Wrong cannot
end until Wrong.is put under foot.
But Wrong is rampant throughout
the land. Therefore the war continues.
And the nation is in greater peril to
day than it was in 1881, or, indeed, du
ring any period of the marshaling of
armies.
Judging Andrew Johnson by his
speeches on his way to Chicago, we con
clude that the Executive branch of the
Government is in the hands of a mad
man. Is this suddenly exalted man
lost to shame ? Has he no faithful friend
to hint to him that silence is gold and
garrulity brass?
What is this man doing to restore
tranquility? He is offering gratuitous
and wanton insult to every man identi
fied with the salvation of the Govern
ment from the plots of traitors.
The other day he convened a Nation
al Convention in Philadetphia. It was
filled with men from the South who
bore arms butlatelyagainst the Govern
ment of the United States ; and men
from the North who gave those armed
rebels aid and comfort during their, re
bellion in the field.
The news of this flashed along the
great Atlantic cable and reached Lon
don. What was the effect?
A dispatch in response came from Bri
tain : " The news of the Philadelphia
Convention gives great satisfaction.—
Rebel bonds have slightly advanced."
So the British speculators who fur
nished lams and munitions of war to
the rebels, are encouraged by the, John
son Philadelphia Convention to hope
for the assumption of the rebel debt by
the United States. It matters not whe
ther that Convention repudiated that
debt or not. That portion of the world
which is inimical to us is encouraged by
the action of that Convention.
These are days of stern trial. The
men who withstood the almost chaos of
the rebellion and resisted manfully the
gloom of its despair, are consumed, and
perish away in the fierce flame of this
trial.
But these defections do not shake the
confidence and bearing of the people.—
The Republican party is the first and
only party of this nation which has
proved superior to its chiefs. No other
party ever endured the perfidy of its
official head with such intactness. The
Republican party is more radical to-day,
and stronger, and more determined,
than it was before Andrew Johnson
'sought to betray it into the hands of its
enemies and the enemies of mankind.
So we answer the knestion—" Shall
the Nktion live?"—by saying: IT SHALL
LIVE ! for the Union masses, the noble
yeomen of the North and' South, who
held up the hands of the Government
during its hour of trial, are unpurchas
able and-undaunted.
The Nation shall live ! In spite of
the perfidy of the President ; in spite of
the hate of aristocrats; in spite of the
systematic lies of Copperhead politi
cians-:-the nation shall live !
If we may believe the Copperhead pa
pers of this district, Mr. Wilson is a
most remarkable man. He voted to
raise his salary, and he voted not to raise
it. He voted to give the negro soldiers
$3OO bounty, and he voted against - giv
ing bounties to any soldiers. The ques-'
tion is, how could he vote for and against
any measure?
Mr. Wilson voted for the House bill
to give all soldiers $8 1-3 per month for
their whole term of service, in addition
to their regular pay. If any 'soldier had
received this additional pay in the shape
of local bounty, be was not to receive
anything under the bill.
The Senate rejeeted this , bill, and ,it
was sent into a committee of conference..
The committee reported the bill, pub
lished two weeks ago in this paper ; and
to this was hitched the bill to increase
the salary of Congressmen. Against
this amalgamation of measures Mr. Wil
son voted, as he should have done. He
was opposed to reducing the bounty of
soldiers below what the House-bill pro
vided, and he'was too honest to vote for
increase of salary after acc&pting the of
fice at the established salary.
Now the bounty bill, as it passed,
gives the white and black soldier the
same bounty, if in service at the periods
named. Andrew Johnson, who is given
to vetoing bills which do not suit him,
approved the bill to increase the salaries
of members of Congress. He could
have vetoed it had he thought it unjust.
We are only . sorry that he did not feel
called upon to veto it. It was au act not
to be defended by anybody, and could
not have been passed at any other time
during the session. It passed by a ma
jority (q_f i tme Vote only, and nearly eve
ry Copperhead voted for it. Why did
not some Copperhead vote against it
and defeat it? Why did not the Presi
dent veto it?
The Copperheads are rehearsing their
old game of bluff this year. They pro
fess to regard the election of'Wright
over Wilson as probable. No doubt the
small fry believe this profession to be
genuine'. But the whales know better.
All we have to say to the bluffing game
is this: They will do the bragging, as
usual; and the Republicans will do the
voting, as usual ; and if the Republi
cans do vote, in their strength, as we
have no doubt they.will, S. F. Wilson
will not have less than 1500 majority.
" bet," is the watchword of our
enemies this fall. "•1 , 11 bet" never
elected 'dor - nereata any roan. " 19.1
VOTE" should be the watchword of Un
ion men. "I'll vote" will elect every
man on -the Republican 'ticket. Bet
ting is prohibited by the act disfrahchi
sing the better forthe time being. So
dOn't lose your votes, if you love your
country. Don't bet on any man's elec
tion. It is illegal.
Vallandigham made a speech at Lou
isville prior to the election in Kentucky.
When he mentioned the names of Lee,
Johnston and Jeff. Davis, his audience
burst out into raptures of applause.—
When he mentioned Grant, Sherman
and Sheridan, the audience mingled
hisses with groans.
The election in Kentucky was for a
Clerk of the Supreme Court. These ap
plauders of Lee, Joimstbn and Davis,
and hisserS of Gritni. Sherman and Sher
idan, elected their candidate, and to-day
the Northern Copperhead press is pro
claiming it a great Democratic victory.
Comment is unnecessary.
We last - week gave the esult of the
deliberations of the Copp, ithead Con
vention of this county. The nominees
are well enough as
. citizens, but, with
one exception , bad enough as politi
cians. They represent the party, for
the time being, which sought in every
way to defeat the constitutional gov
ernment of the country in its effort to
put down a deadly rebellion. As such,
we know of but one duty, touching
them, as incumbent upon Republicans
and true Union Men ; and that is to de
feat them overwhelmingly. Their de
feat is certain; but it must be made sig
nal and utter. ,
The candidate for Register and Re
corder, Mr. Peter Wallbridge, cannot,
we think, consent to fraternize with the
party which has nominated him. He
is a good soldier, and sustained the
Government, not only in the field but at
the ballot-box, during the war. He had
a taste of the quality of rebels and their
sympathizers at Andersonville ; and we
much mistake if he will accommodate
the party which bps never denounced
the cruelty of Jeff. Davis to our 'Union
soldiers in Southern prison pens, with
the use of his name. So much for the
candidates. Now for the Convention.
To the uninitiated there was no in
harmony in its action. To those who
understood the condition of the party,
the proceedings were amusing and in
structive. "Ye Democracie" of Tioga is
rent by the Pierce and Sherwood fac
tions. So there was a strife for prece
dence. The opening contest was for the
chairmanship of the Convention, which
was won by the Pierce faction. The
struggle culminated in the appointment
of the Standing Committee. As there
was money to be handled, each party
addressed itself to the task of appropri
ating the honor and profit of carrying
the bag. After quite a display of strat
egy, the Pierce faction again triumphed,
and the vanquished sullenly retired
from the field.
Mr. Sherwood then addressed the Con
vention. He started with the.assertion
that the Congressional plan of recon=
struction sought to force the late revolt-
ed States to give the ballot to the negro
as a Condition _to their restoration and
representation. By reference to the
Congressional plan t which -we print, for
the third time; in this issue; it will be
seen that Mr. Sherwood was either ig
norant of that plan, in which case he
should not have appeared in public, or
deliberately misrepresented the facts.—
As his speech was chiefly predicated of
this false statement, the familiar rule - of
" false premises false conclusions," ren
ders• it entirely unnecessary to follow
hiai a single step from his starting-point.
However, his assertion that the brains
of the Republican party had all gone
over to the "Democratic" party, is note
worthy as illustrating the law of com
pensation. It is notorious that the
brains of the "Democratic" party went
over to the Republican party years ago.
If some portion .of the brains have been
returned, it is to be hoped that the ac
tion of the Copperheads this fall will
show some slight display of common
sense—an article which has been, ex
ceedingly sciate on that side or . the
house for a dozen years.
_One more declaration seems to us wor
thy , of-noting just now. The speaker
claimed as . among the accessions to the
strength`of the party the army and na•
vy of the United States. We leg leave
to remind the public that that party
had the army and navy, and•all the effi
cient arms of the country in its hands
in 1861. Nevertheless, the pe..pie arose
in their might, and after four years of
bloOdy war, hurled that vile party and
its armies into the dust of defeat. On
the 9th day of October next the Union
masses will repeat that whipping with
interesting variations. • ,
We have no'doubt of the .truth of the
allegation that our opponents have giv
en up all expectation of electing Mr.
Clymer. They will direct all their la
bor and their money toward' electing
Congressional and legislative candi
dates. They want to elect another Cop
perhead 'United States Senator. In or
der to effect these changes, they have
prepared to colonize. voters in various
places to vote for Congressmen and As
semblymen In iliStricts supposed to be
close. It is said that colonization to
carry this Congressional district will be
resorted to in some localities. lit may
be attempted in Tioga county, but we
guess not, unless it may be in Bloss,
Fall Brook and Liberty. Let it be un
derstood that no non-resident can vote
in any election district. And any man
coming into an election district just be
fore an election, who cannot swear that
he is there for something more than
transient purposes, is a non-resident
within the meaning of the statute.
Hail, Vermont
Vermont gave us the first Union vic
tory of the Fall Campaign on Tuesday,
the 4th instant.
Gov. Dillingham, Republican, was re
elected Governor. The Senate if 3 unan
imously Republican, and the House
nearly so. The gain over last year is
about 5,000 majority for the, Repnbli-
Cans.
This victory is all the more signifi
cant, since, in i many Assembly districts,
what are termed " Johnson Republi
cans" were supported by the Copper
heads. This did• not avail. These hy
brids were beaten worse than the pure'
breed of Copperheads.
Republicans : You have here the
promise of victory. Vermont, in spite
of the patronage of the President, gives
a third larger majority against Copper
headisria than last year. Yon will next
hear from Maine, and the good news
will then be increased. Let us thank
God arid take courage.
There is such shameless and persist
ent lying on the part of the Copper
heads.about Mr. WILSON, that we take
from the Congressional Globe, the offi
cial organ of Congress, the vote upon
the bill to increase the salaries of Con
gressmen. Here it is :

Every Pennsylvania Copperhead who
voted atJall, voted " aye." Mr, Wilson
voted "No." Had any one of the Cop
perheads voted "no," the bill would have
been defeated. Now who is responsible
for the passage of that bill? No shuf
fling. Let us hear about it.
There is a speck of war in the Cop
perhead camp of this Congressional dis
trict. They have nominated Wright, a
simon pure Copperhead. Of this can
did avowal of principles one wing of the
party complains. This wing of that
party never had any principles to de
fend or promulgate. It wants a Con.;
servative Republican to run against
Wilson. It thinks the people of Tioga
county are as consummate ignoramuses
as the leaders of that faction. Not at
all. They understand the trick of the
cat and the meal-tub. However, if the
Copperheads can force Wright to de
cline, and get Mackey to run indepen
dent, we don't care. Mr. Mackey may
as well be buried as Mr. Wright, and
buried be would be, and so deep theta
the picks and spades of counties Cork
and Down could not dig him out in a
century.
The Presidential axe fallsglibly now
a-days, and the gory basket is fast fill
ing up with official heads. Our friend
YoriNG, late Postmaster at this place,
departed that life at one P. M., last
Thursday. He expired with a serene
smile upon his countenance, and a joke
upon his lips. We feel it our painful
duty to declare that he lost his head be
cause he had more than $BOO worth of
principles.' We say to him : "Friend,
go up higher!"
It becomes our painful duty to an
nounce another decapitation. WILL
IAM GARK - prsox, Esq., late of the Ord
nance office, Washington, was guillot
ined last week. His trunk was bro't
to Tiogtt on Wednesday last. He was
charged with having more than $1.%0
worth of principles, duly arraigned,
tried, and found guilty., The sentence
of decapitation was ordered to be carried
out by Andrew Johnson. Hence his
untimely end. To him we say: "Friend,
ga up higher !"
Good people, we are rejoiced that
these our worthy brothers could _not be
purchased. There is room for more
such.
GRAND DEMONSTRATION !
TWO HUNDRED,. THOUSAND
,UNION MEN IN opuNcri.,
• The . most overwhelming demonstra
tion of popular feeling ever witnessed
in America, took place in Philadelphia
on' the Bd, 4th, and sth instants. The
occasion was the assembling of the
Southern Union men in Convention.
We receive our information from eye
witnesses. The great dailies have been
filled to their utmost with the proceed
ings, giving such an impression of vast
ness to the affair that an attempt at de
seripdon on our part seems folly. Su--
flee it to say that it is admitted on all
hands that shch a crowd was never be
fore seen on this continent. The low
est estimate puts the multitude at 150,-
000, while more put it at 200,000 and
250,000. Broad Street, 160 feet wide,
was densely packed from side to side
for six sipares ; Chestnut, Market, Wal
nut Streets—these were densely packed
from Broad to Fourth, all cars and car
riages being excluded. Add to this the
crowds at the hotels and some idea of
the magnitude of the meeting may be
obtained.
The Copper-Johnson Convention of
the 14th of .August paled into insigniti
cance in the splendor of this grand wel
come to Southern loyalists. The names
of rebel civil and military officers did
not figure in the proceedings of this af
fair. South Carolina rebels and Massa
chusetts Copperheads did not enter this
Convention arm in arm. Low comedy
and pantomime were not down on its
bills. It was a gathering of Southern
men who refused IQ be polluted by re
bellion, and who regard Andrew John
son as a monster of perfidy. To wel
come these sturdy patriots a quorum of
the Senate of the 'United States, the
Governors of every Northern State,
and delegates from nearly every county
in the North, together with tens of
thousands of loyal men, met in Phila
delphia. It was a fitting tribute to the
marvelous fidelity of these loyal men of
the South.
Lunit yin thin picture, and. then upon
the spectacle of Andrew Johnson trav
eling the country making inflammatory
harangues, and deseenaing to arrant
blackguardism with individuals in pro
miscuous crowds ! The first exalts the
nation, but the latter is a burning dis
grace to the Republic.
We publish on the outside of this pa
per a dissection of the Southern wing of
the Copper-Johnson Philadelphia Con
vention. Two weeks ago we stated that
with the delegates to, and the purposes
of, that Convention, we had no sympa
thy. We reiterate that averment, and
suspect that a majority of not lees than
8,000 sons of old Tioga will endorse it
on the 9th day of October.
The editor of the new Johnson organ
at Williamsport is a slippery customer;
but he must either meet our queition
squarely, or swallow the lie, or take ref
uge in'expressive silence: Two weeks
ago we quoted verbatim from his col
umns as follows :
" The voters of this Congressional district
should not forget that Stephen F. Wilson voted
in Cougnrss to give negroas the right to vote ht
Permaylvan
We asked the editor to wash himself
and arise out of the filth of falsehood
and ignorance and tell us that there (is
one word of truth in that assertion. He
responds by garbling the quotation from
his own paper, as follows:
" The voters of this Congressional district
should not forget that Stephen F. Wilson voted
in Congress to give negroes the right to vote."
It will be seen that he cuta the sen
tence short, leaving out the words "in
Pennsylvania"—which constitute the
pith of the original lie. We now ask
him to answer the question as we put it,
or acknowledge the lie. Let us hear
from you, Dunham. We cannot be di
verted from the question by any fol-de
rol.
The Election Proclamation will be
found in our advertising columns. Par
ticular attention is directed to the new
laws therein recited for the instruction
of election officers and voters. The law
disfranchising deserters is important, as
well as that prescribing the new mode
of voting. The tickets are printed in
accordance, with the provisions of the
latter law.
MITCHELL'S NEW GENECEAL ATLAS.
—Mr. GEORGE P. Mazola, the general agent for
this new and most valuable atlas, is now canvass
ing this portion of Tioga county for subscriptions
to the same. It is difficult to speak of this atlai
as it deserves, in the space to which we are Um
Red. It comprises 91 maps and plans, accurately
drawn, and colored superbly. The maps of the
new Territories are in themselves priceless to
every man who desires to be posted in the geog
raphy of the country. An excellent feature is
the clear and distinct type in which the newel of
places are printed. Statistics of every goveri.
meat arranged in tabular form; railroad and air
line distances to every part of the habitable
world; census of the world by States and divi;
sio'ns ; plans of harbors and cities;—these fea
tures will be recognised as valuable beyond ordi
nary works of the kind. Every wagon road
crossing the new territories is laid down; so of
the mountains, rivers, Bridges, of the whole world.
There is a beautiful map of Palestine, ancient
and modern, which will prove most interesting to
biblical students. We commend this atial,to all
"W l lto may feel able to procure a work of the kind.
It cheap—costing barely half as muck as We
more pretentious, but:nol,better atlases.
