march to the polls, shoulder to shoul der, as we often have in battling for an issue not more important than that now at stake. Pennsylvania has a glorious history ! From the time our forefathers pledged " their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor," in casting off the yoke of British tyranny, through that seven years of gloom, privations and heroic fortitude, known as the American Rev olution ;in the second short but bloody struggle for liberty in 1812 ; in the mem orable an d victorious Mexican campaign; and finally during the four years of des perate fighting, heroic endurance, and immense bloodshed, so terribly fresh in your memories, culminating in the sub ugation of the most gigantic and stub born rebellion known in history ;—the sons of Pennsylvania did their duty.— They fought in every prominent en gagement from Bunker Hill to Peters burg. The Key one boys are buried on every battlefilfd, from the burning sands of Florida to the green hills of our own Gettysburg. As fortunate survivors of the late struggle, wherein three hundred thou sand patriots fell, you have now an op portunity of adding fresh laurels to those so worthily won, or having them withered, and crushed, so soon, by the triumph of your enemies. It is for you to decide. The eyes of the nation are upon you. Every loyal citizen ; the be reaved mourners, whose relatives and friends fell by your side ; the memories of your comrades, who sacrificed their sweet lives to save the Republic ; all, all appeal to you, to do your duty.— While we were fighting in the field, our friends at home nobly confirmed their loyalty and sympathy for us, in the re election of the "Soldiers' Friend"— Andie Curtin. These same patriots will vote for Geary. It * remains to be seen whether we—the soldiers—will unite our strength with theirs in inflicting on these Copperheads an ignominious de feat; giving them such a scornful re buke as to send them whining, so far into their holes, that the atmosphere will, for a time, be purified of their poi sonous breath ; or cast our ballot against a comrade—against those who stood by, and sympathized with us,—agaiust the best interests of our State and nation, and against ourselvs. It is the daily boast of the Copperhead politicians and press, that the soldiers will do this.— They talk of " Clymer and the boys in blue," &c. Such allusions should be spurned by every honorably discharged defender of his country, as an insult to his loyalty, to his intelligence, to his manliness. Place Gen. Geary in the Gubernatorial chair, (and I firmly be lieve we will do this,) and every loyal heart in the land will be gladdened, ev ery lover of liberty will hail the an nouncement as another triumph over tyranny and oppression. Elect the Democratic (?) candidate, and every Copperhead in the country, every reb el, whether pardoned, " reconstructed" or rampant, will clap his hands with joy and sing hosannas to Theater Cly mer, Andrew Johnson and Jefl: Davis. EX-VETERAN. The Bon, John Hickman Defines His Position. Several citizens of Chester county, Pa., having written a note to the Hon. John Hickman, asking his views on the great political question of the day, have received the following reply : "My answer is given in the following declarations, every one of which I sin cerely believe to be true : I. Mr. Johnson is openly and vindic tively apostate to the party that placed him in power; as he assured the coun try he was an unconditional friend to freedom, and he desired to have traitors punished and their crime made odious. He has falsified all his stereotyped as sertions, and consequently I look upon him, as capable of any enormity—the worst. 11. If he can carry out his plans—and he assures us, in the most vulgar and disgusting language, he will do so 7 —they must end in the complete subversion of free institutions. 111. The President is false—but Mr. Seward is infinitely below him in point of political depravity, and is the prime, moving cause of all our present trou bles. - IV. The National Legislature would disgrace itself and the nation by admit ting Senators and Representatives from. the late—l may say present—rebellious States, without first providing for the public welfare in the future, and being thoroughly convinced of the loyalty of its new members. V. The Government is placed in ex treme peril by Mr. Johnson and the South, through the malign machina tions of Mr. Seward ; ,and to aid in car rying out their skilfully arranged policy would be madness, for it would be irre trievable ruin. VI. In what is attempted to be stig matized by " Conservatives"—that is blood-dyed criminals and their wicked apologists—as "Radicalism," lies our only safety, The contest, this moment, is between the spirit of despotism and the spirit of freedom, and is as strongly marked and as distinct as in April 1861. I have not been disappointed in Mr. Johnson, fQr I never placed any confi-. dente in him. Ever since I knew him personally, I have regarded him as a half-crazed, reckless and dissolute man ; vain, arrogant and ignorant; and de clined to support him. I had watched his course closely, and could not but des pise him. lam sorry that my estimate of his character has proven correct. The sun of that day has sett, forever when I could be cheated by one born and educated, or rather uneducated, un der the destructive influence of that Heaven-defying institution, human sla- . very. The only security for American citi zens and voters, is in combined resist ance to demagogues and tyrants. I would now warn them that they have no time to lose, if they would save them selves and their pbsterity. Yours, truly. Jou.:c FIICKMAN. THE N. Y. HERALD ON THE PROg,- PECa'o IN PENNSYLVANIA.—The Her= ald of Monday says : " The anion Con servatives have done, perhaps, as well in Maine as could have been, expected under the circumstances; hut we are satisfied they would have done much better had they nominated for Governor a man identified with the Union war party of the war, instead of a hide-bound party politician representing the peace at-any-price platforim of the Chiccigo Convention. The Democrats of Penn sylvania, in nominating for Governor Aiester Clymer, a peace man during the war, against General Geary, one of the most distinguished soldiers of the war, did for the radicals the very best thing that could be done. Nobody sup pos. that there is a ghost of a chance for Clymer against Geary, and no polit ical philosopher has yet risen to allow that while Clymer cannot save himself he will strengthen the Conservative Congressional ticket in any part of that State. In short, he is a dead weight upon his party), A farmer, more noted for the care he bestowed upon his fine stock than upon his mode of expression, wrote to the Secretary of an agricultural society in regard to entering his animals for the premiums offered, and added, by way of postcript : " Also enter me for the best jackass. I'm sure of a premium." Eht agitator. WELLSBORO. PENZIPA. WEDNESDAY, . SEPT. 26,1866 az n a trx...A.T zc) zr 1,6 50- FOR GOVERNOR MAJ. - GEN. JOHN W.

VANNESS, of Rutland For Auditor, ISRAEL STONE, of Delmar. Potter county pledges herelf to 850 majority for Geary and WilsOn. Bully for Potter county. Tioga can make it about 3,000 more. Mr. SEWARD is believed to be in a dy ing condition. He is .sinking rapidly. Look out for your tickets, Republi cans. Have your true blue men on guard where the tickets are folded and distributed The Copperheads never fought a fair fight yet. Watch them.— Look out for spurious tfckets. Cut out the ticketlB the head of this column and preserve it. It will serve to detect any attempt at fraud. If any man at tempt to circulate any fraudulent tick et, alleging it to be the Republican tick et, mark him down and send his name ,to us. Every attempt at fraud shall be prosecuted. The proposition to increase the sala ries of Congressmen was moved by Niblack, of Indiana, a virulent Copper head, and a majority, of the- " Demo crats" of the House vOted for it. But mark this fact: Of the RepubliCans present and voting, al \ majority voted against the proposition. Will some of the noisiest of that party state this undeniable fact to their stupid followers? We guess not. We publish a card from Dr. W. T. Humphrey in the local colunin, which effectually squelches the rumor that he was contemplating the betrayal of the Republicans of Tioga county, in voting for a Copper-Johnson U. S. Senator.— We have not believed this cruel rumor, but it was widely circulated and inten ded to do him some harm. We do not know of a truer man than W. T. Hum phrey. Only three ballots this fall. One la beled " State," enclosing the name of Geary for Governor. One labeled "Ju diciary," with the names of Veil and Bentley for Associate Judges; and one labeled " County," with the names of Wilson for Congress, Humphrey and Mann for Assembly, and Donaldson, Deane, Van Ness and Stone, for county officers. Remember this. BRAND THE LIE! Every Copperhead speaker, and every paper of that stripe, in this State, is trumpeting the lie that Congress his voted $3OO bounty to negro soldiers aid .but $lOO to white soldiers. We have d nounced this as a lie, "time and again,' but a "white soldier" puts the facts so squarely before the public in the Phila delphia Press, that we extract the bur den of his remarks, as follows: " Previous to the passage of the acts of June 16th, 1864, (section 2,) and July 4th, 1864, (section 1,) but few, if auy, of the colored troops were entitled to any bounty. These acts merely placed the colored soldier upon the same footing as other soldiers of the regular or vol unteer forces of ihe United States of like arm of the service.' I quote the exact words of the_law. " The only discrimination that exists is in favor of the white soldier, who, by the act of July 28, 1866, is entitled to an EXTRA BOUNTY of one hundred dollars, which the colored soldier does not get. These Copperjohnson orators and news papers know, or ought to know, that these are the facts of the ease. It is true that the colored man who served two years can get, and many of them have been paid, $lOO bounty -; so has the white man ; but the white man, by the act of July 28, 1866, is entitled to ANOTHER $lOO, which the coloi-ed soldier cannot get, as there were no colored troops in the service at the time for which this $lOO extra bounty is to be paid. This bill was signed by President Johnson ; and it is rather strange to see the friends of the President trying to bring discredit upon Congress for passing a bill which he himself approved, and which would not have become a law without his sig nature. " Why is this extra bounty of $lOO to the white troops not paid? The bill al lowing. it has passed both Houses of Congress, and been approved by the President. There is money enough the Treasury to pay it; and if it is not paid, it is the fault alone of the Presil dent and his officeholders. They are withholding the payment of this extra bounty for no other purpose than to in fluence the elections. Let the white soldiers hold them responsible for it." ISOLDIERS, if one of you can read the article on our first page addressed to you and not desire to Meet and embrace the gallant writer, you are leis susceptible than we. It is the invitation of a young man who enlisted in 1861, served as a private and non-commissioned officer for the entire war, having re-enlisted in 1864. He is one of nature's noblemen, a gentleman, modest to a fault, brave, faithful, and good. The production it self marks him as a young man of su perior intellect; iu fact, this young pri vate soldier has more brains than the entire Blair family and their admirers. Let no man fail to read the article enti tled " To Soldiers." "DOWN WITH THE TRAITORS-OP WITS TEE FLAG.' If there is a Republican in Tioga county who oyerloots the vital need of vigilance and action from this hour to the hour of closing the polls on the 9th day of October, we pity him. We say to him, an'd to all, that no man living, no child living, will ever witness an election so fraught with des tiny as that which the freemen of Penn sylvania will hold on the 9th day of October. The issues are plain : We will state them briefly, anti without surplusage. They are— Shall Congress make the laws, or shall Andrew Johnson make them? Shall loyal and tried men reconstruct the Un ion, or shall traitors do it ? Shall the President obey the people, or shall the people obey the President? Demagogues may seek to 'cover up, these issues by creating new ones. They will attempt to do this, doubtless: They will lie, as usual, and they will misrep resent without scruple, as usual. The Republicans of Tioga county will vote them down—as usual. But our duty as a journalist must be performed; and we utter the earnest words of warning against the lies and misrepresentations of Copperhead ora tors, editors, and handbills. One would suppose that that party would be wary and hesitant about rais ing the old cry of " nigger" in Tioga county. But they think the people for getful of the immediate past. They are mistaken. Only fools forget. We see posted and circulated a carica ture of a negro taking his ease, and white men at work to support him. The text of this unartistie lie is a tissue of lies. The Freedmen's Bureau, against which it is aimed, was created for des titute men and wom i en, without distinc tion of color; and five-sixths of the mo neys expended under its operation, have been expended in relieving the necessi ties of the whites. It has distributed, and is distributing rations to men and women who used to own, and flog, and sell negroes before the war. And remember this : The white and black men of this county are now pay ing taxes to pay the debt` incurred in suppressing a rebellion concocted and carried on by the leaders of the so-called Democratic party. This cannot be de nied. Every prominent leading rebel, with Jeff. Davis at their head, was, and is to-day, a Democrat of the Hiester Clymer and Theodore Wright school? The scoundrels ! They get up a con spiracy to overthrow the Government. Republidans combine to put them down, and do put them down, but ata vast ex pense of blood and treashre. Then the conspirators taunt us with involving the country in debt! As well may the thief and murderer taunt the Commissioners of Tioga coun ty with expending public money to try and convict them and send them to the penitentiary! Can brass go farther? These fellows try our patience. But they must be endured. They were the allies of traitors in arms, and they are the allies of traitors disarmed. Treason is not dead. It does not sleep, even.. It is rampant wherever you find Southern rebels and Northern Copper heads. We must strike down these al lies of treason on' he 9th day of Octo ber. These adNiocates of Hiester Clymer and Theodore Wright were "Peace Democrats" during the war. They now appear, and strut the stage, as " War Democrats." What next? Why, after the 9th of October, when Gen. Geary will be elected Governor of Pennsylvania and the 40th Congress shall be proved overwhelmingly radical Republican, we suppose these fellows will go about swearing that they are radical Republicans Why not? From intense pro-slavery men they profess to hive become abolitionists, and they ac tually employ a man who professes to have been an original anti-slavery man for a quarter of a century, to stump it in Tioga county ! Last Oar they were opposed to The abolition of slavery. This year they endorse the abolition of slavery. Next year they will claim to be radical Re publrans, and in 1868 they will be in for egro suffrage—swearing all the while that they never change. Friends—the cry of "-Negro" will not frighten any man who is not afraid to go through the graveyard of a dark night. Fears of negro equality will not disturb any man who is not already the inferior of the African in his own pri vate judgment. As for the rest—the Republican party must punish these leaders of the Cop perhead party through the balloi-l-box. Depiivation of place and power is the lightest punishment they can expect.— Let us strike together, and render trea son odious and traitors infamous. The " demnitioh Bow-wows," as the classic Mantilini used to put it, are a broad in Tioga county. The Union is in danger again. The bluffers of the Copperhead party are out in force; the 800-hoos are on one flank, and the bow wows on the other. Good people—if the Union is in dan ger, it is in danger from the plots of rebels and their Copperhead allies. The party which saved the Government from destruction at the hands of South ern traitors and Northern sympathizers, will again, this time with the ballot, rescue the nation from its great peril. Republicans may rest entirely easy about Generals Grant, Sherman, Sheri dan, and other noted Union Generals. Not one of these men are believers in Andrew Johnson's policy. Not one of them attended the late Johnson-Sol diem' Convention at Cleveland, and not one of them will aid Andrew Johnson to put the Government into the hands of rebels and Copperheads. Remember this. The future will demonstrate the truth of this affirmation. We notice that there is a " Conserva tive" party organization hereabout, which is devoted to the enviable task of convincing the people that there is no carnivorous cat in the Copperhead meal tub. "Will you walk into my parlor? said the spider to the fly." • We have read of Conservatives. We knew some of that sort of folks in 1861. They lived in Maryland, and acted as go-betweens between Washington and Richmond. Just stroke the hair the. wron way once, and ygn will find a CoppOtead under every coat, labeled " Conservative." - Alas for the Copperjohnsons! After all their boasting that they had-not on ly the but the army, in the person of Gen. Grant, and the navy, in the person of Admiral Farragut, it turns out that neither Gen. Grant nor Farra gut endorse the President's policy.— Gen. - Grant authorizes the correspond ent of the Chicago Repubiican to say that he is no politician. That he does not endorse the President's policy ; and that no man who was not loyal in 1881 should have his support. Among these objectionable traitors he classed Hiester Clymer, and declared that it was an in sult to any loyal man to ask him to vote for 'such a man. As the President delivered over the Constitution to every crowd which he addressed during his late tour, the ques tion arises as to how he reclaimed it so as to , make the delivery to the nest crowd. Or did be have a pocket full of consti tutions to give away? . The Maine election has convinced Bennett, of the New York Herald, that Johnson is wrong and Congress right. In his Wednesday and Thursday issues of last week he says that the defeat of the President in Maine shows conchi sively that not a Northern State will endorse„" my policy," that the Fortieth Congress will be more radical than the present one, and that Johnson's insane speeches have, in concert with the mas sacres in Memphii and New Orleans, utterly routed the Copper-Johnsons.— Bennett is right this time. Montgomery Blair and Henry J. Ray mond threaten war on the part of the South unless Johnson's policy shall pie vail. These fellows must be given to understand that what they cannot get by favor they must not hope to conquer by arms. The South will never wage war against the North, unless, as before, Northern traitors egg them on. The South' will have to strike the first blow, if there is to be war. The rebel Gen. Forrest, the hero of the Fort Pillow slaughter of Union pris oners of war, sent a telegram of con gratulation to the Johnson Soldiers' Convention at Cleveland. The Conven tion, which consists of Brigadier Gen erals and Colonels, chiefly, sent a mes sage of thanks to the gallant and heroic assassin. Comment is unnecessary. Among the brood of lies set afloat by the Copperheads this fall, was one de claring that Gen. Grant and Admiral Farragut endorsed President Johnson's policy. We art , glad to be able to state that neither of those gentlemen endorse An drew Johnson's pOlicy of reconstruc tion. Even the reporter of the N. Y. Herald says in one of his late letters that Gen. Grant was reported as saying that he was disgusted with hearing a man make speeches on the way to his own funeral. The man who is not dis gusted with Mr. Johnson's speeches, must be a very low sort of a blackguard. The pleasures of the unreconstructed are various. In Louisiana they consist in massacreing unarmed Union men.— In Memphis, ditto. In Missouri, the reb els of Platte city attacked a Republican Convention which assembled on the 15th instant, killing fouraud wounding many more. The rebels then drove ev ery Union man out of the city, and swear that none of them shall live there. These jolly rebels are all Andrew Johnson men. They delight in carry ing out " my_polley" to its legitimate results. We hope that Gov. Fletcher will issue letters, of marque to the Un ion men of Missouri and give these reb el outlaws over to their tender mercies. The New Jersey Legislature convened last week and ratified the Constitution al amendment published in this• paper under the head of " Reconstruction" last week. It also elected a Radical U. S. Senator in the place of Stockton, un seated. Good. The Blair meeting at Mansfield on Tuesday of last week was rather better than that in this place the day before. Fail Brook was represented in force, yet the universal verdict is, that two-thirds of the balance of the crowd' were Re publicans. Mr. Blair will not put down his tour in Tioga among his pleasant notings. Dunham, of the Williamsport moral and literary paper, is on the anxious seat. In his last number there is not a word about Wilson, and not more than 990 lies. Add to this . the fact that he has hauled down Geary's name, in obe dience to the command of his Copper head keepers, and he presents himself before tide public as a political orphan with a very bad cold in the head. Alas for D. S. D! Put not your faith in . Mackey. The Erie Dispatch says : " An old lady managed to be introduced to General Grant at the depot at this place, and greeted him with tears and affection.— 'lam so glad to see you,' said she, for I had four boys in the war. Two were killed, and two badly wounded. l.am glad to see you, even though you are now in bad company.' This is a fact." To which we respond: No discount on that old lady. Harper, for October, contains another chapter of Porte Crayon's Recollections of the War, finely illustrated. "Mrs. Roth's Bridal Tour" will at once please and horrify the ladies. The shorter stories are all good, and there are several papers of a scientific nature which lend interest to the number. $4 per year.

H. D. CALKINS, HIRAM CONKLIN, Tioga, September 12, -1868,-3w ANECDOTES AND INCIDENTS OF THE REBELLION. Heroic, Patriotic, Romantic, Humorous aiati Tray- This is a certain portion of the war that will never go into the regular histories, and will not get embodied in romance or poetry, which is a very real part of it, and will, if preserved, con vey to succeeding generations a better idea of the spirit of the conflict than many dry reports or careful narratives of events, and this pert may be. called the gossip, the fun, the pathos of the war. These illustrate the character of the leaders, the humor of the soldiers, the devotion of women, the bravery of men, the pluck of our beros, the romance and hardships of the service. From the beginning of the war the author has been en gaged in collecting all the auer.dothes .topeeeted with or illustrative of it, and hat - grouped and classified them under appropriate hands, and in a very attractive form. The volume is profusely illustrated with over 300 engravings by the first artists. which are really beautiful; woithy of examination as speci mens of the art. Many of them are set into the body of the text, after the popular style of Loss logs Pictorial Field Book of the Revolution. The book's contents include reminiscences of camp, picket, spy, scout, bivouac, siege and battlefield adventures; thrilling feats of bravery, wit, droll ery, comical and ludicrous, adventures, etc., etc. Amusement as well as instruction may be found in every page, as graphic detail, brilliant wit, and authentic history, are skilfully inter woven in this work of literary art. This work sells itself. The people are tired of dry details and partizan works, and want some humorous, romantic and startling. We have agents clearing over $2OO per month. Send for circulars, and see our terms and proof of the above assertion. Addsess NATIONAL PUBLISBING CO. 507 Minor St., Philadelphia, Pa.
