THANZSGIVWG.—The President has
appointed Thursday, November 28, to• be ob
served us a day of thanksgiving and prayer.
As the President seems to have neglected to
recommend temperance in eating, etc., to the pee',
p!e on that day, we do most earnestly urge every
body to eat less and pray more. Roast turkey
and "chicken fixings" do not induce a particular
ly spiritual state of mind or body. However, the
gobblers may as well prepare fur We sacrifice.—
Nobody thanks anybody for disinterested advice,
especially where the advice goes to cut off one's
rations.
THE STA.II-FL.—Thirty-three years
ago, whoever was abroad on n certain November
morning, from two till daylight, saw a most mag
nificent sight. This was no less than a shower of
meteors, which was witnessed and commented up
on by the philosophers of that day. It was com
puted by Aram the French astronomer, tbat no
less than 240,000 of these meteors were seen that
morning.
These showers are periodic. It is announced
that another shower may be expected on the night
of November 13-14, proximo. Professor New
ton, of Yale College, is the prophet. Probably
be has certain data upon which to make the an
nouncement.
We are requested to give notice
that, by order of the Executive Committee of the
Tioga County Agricultural Society, there will be
an inspection - of one, two and three year old
colts, also mares and suoking colts, on the Fair
Grounds next Saturday," the 27th inst. As the
committee on "this class made no report during
the Fair, this chance is offered competitors, so
they can secure the premiums and notice due
them from the Agricultural Society.
On the same day there will take place several
trots, the matches having been already made. A
premium of $lO also will be offered for the best
trotter, and cue of SO for the slowest trotter.
The fox will be let loose, and liberal premiums
will be awarded for the foremost hound. Aside
from foot races and other things worthy to be-
hold, the day's sport will well pay for a trip to
town.
Persons who have subscribed for life member—
ships and have not paid, are urgently requested
to make payment to the Treasurer, T. L. Robin.

Agricultural Meeting• •
A few of the enterprising men of this neigh
borhood met last evening at the Culver school
house, according to appointment, for the purpose
of organising into a township agricultural socie
ty, and getting up a ploughing match this fall.—
Thomaa L. Davis was-chosen Chairman. The
Chair made a brief statement of the object of the
meeting. A great anxiety was shown by those
present (judging by the spirited remarks they
made) for improvement in agricultural pursuits—
in stock, implements and workmanship ; to fol
low our avocatibn more systematically; and to
raise the standard of our occupation, in this vi
cinity, worthy of the age wo live in.
The following resolutions passed unanimously :
Resolved, That we will hare a ploughing match
on Thursday, tho tirade,' of November next, at
one o'clock P. M.; a notice of the place to be
given in next week's Agitator; to be conducted
as follows: Competitors to send their names to
the Secretary, on or before the last of this month.
A committee of three to be chosen, whose duty it
shall be to select ground, measure, stake and num
ber each land. The ploughmen to choose lands
by ballot. Three judges to be appointed, who
shall be located in a certain room from, the time
of balloting until the ploughing is done, in order
to avoid the least possible chance for partiality.
Resolved, That we give an invitation to all our
fellow townsmen to meet at the Burns school
house next Friday evening, to complete the or
ganisation and to elect otßoers for the ploughing
match.
Resolved, That the premiums for ploughing
shall be the "sailor of the manse.

With nation toward none. with maim for ALL, with
firmness in the RIGHT, let us strive to finish the work
we are in. to bind up the nation's wounds, to care

widow and orphans, and to do all which may achieve

Gen. GEARY'S majority in the State
i5'17,227. WILSON'S majority in the
district is 2,046—a gain of 1,200 on his
majority in 1864. Glory enough for this
year!
A GeOrgia paper having declared that
the South wanted a million of General
Grangers in the North, our spicy co
temporary, the Erie Gazette, asks if
half-a-million Grangers and half-a-mill
ion Ousters will not do.
As an evidence of the salutary effect
of the late Republican victories upon
the unreconstructed South, we extract
from a letter written by Maj. A. E.
NILES,• now on duty in South Carolina,
the following :
"I want to congratulate you upon the result of the
elections so far as heard frem. I never felt to proud of
my native State as Ido at this time. You can't imagine
how civil it makes the Reba. They begin fb see for the
first time that a coalition with the Copperheads may
harm them. They will como to it and adopt the amend
ruente ; all that is necessary now Is backbone. A plenty
of that in the Republican party, and the thing will end
as it should. I know what lam talking about, and I
say don't let Brava falter for nothing; the proper course
Hog ahead, and all will come right in the course of
time."
GkIN AND LOSS
Now that the smoke of the battle has
cleared away, it becomes us to consider
the result, and by comparison with the
result of the year when the heaviest
previous vote was cast, estimate our
gains and losses. It is not our custom
to deal in vague declarations of gains
and losses when the figures can be got
at.
The heaviest vote ever cast in this
county prior to that of the 9th day of
October, 1866, was in 1863. The aggre
gate vote of that year was 6,121. Of
these Curtin received 4,544 i and Wood
ward I,6l7—giving-Curtin a majority of
2,887.
In t e recent election the aggregate
ti ts
vote w - 6,419. Of these Geary received
4,791, and. Clymer I,B2B—giving Geary
a majority of 3,163. This shows an in
creased Republican majority of 256; an
increase of votes to the number of 298,
of which 287 accrue to the RepubliCane,
and only eleven to the opposition.
These are the figures for the aggregate
gains of both parties in this county.—
They do not lie, nor can they be made
to comfort our opponents.
Our heaviest gain, in both vote and
majority, is in Bloss, where Geary's ma
jority nearly doubles Curtin's in 1863.
The gain on the whole vote is also im
mense-114—showing that Bloss is grow
ing fast, and that her Republicans are
up and doing.
Covington and borough gain 25 votes
for us, and gain 19 on majority. This is
handsome, and shall be remembered.
Chatham falls off on her vote for Cur
tin, but the opposition stand just as
they
s stood for ...Woodward-93 This
occurs elsewhere; and we have yet to
find a single district where any falling
off in the Republican vote shows a cor
responding increase in the vote for Cly
mer and Wright. This shows that the
ranks are not only unbroken, but, .taken
in connection with the fact that our in
creased majority represents our increase
on the aggregate vote, it shows that cor
rect principles are flourishing with re
newed vigor in our grand old banner
county.
Not to be too selfish, let us go outside
the county, and see if Republican prin
ciples are not on the progressive side
elsewhere. . _
Lycoming county cast her heaviest
vote in November, 1864, when her ma
jority for McClellan was 806. This year
her majority for Clymer IS 577, a falling
off of 229, and a corresponding gain for
us. The official vote in Clinton, Cen
ter and Potter has not reached us, but
we have little doubt of a corresponding
growth of correct principles in those
counties.
It is doubtful if the vote in the State
will prove so large as that of Novem
ber, j 864.1 Probably it will not much
exceed that cast for Governor in 1863.
The majority for Geary will considera
bly overgo Curtin's three years ago,
from present indications.
The magnitude of .the +Victory just
achieved may be comprehended best by
taking Into consideration the fact, that
ix 1863 the patronage of the General
Government was in Republican hands ;
whereas, this fall, the entire influence
of the General Government was used
against us with a bold unscrupulousness
never exceeded'. Against patronage,
against such wlaUlesale lying as we nev
er before encountered, against mighty
and persistent 'attempts to arouse the
prejudices of the people against us, we
have routed the legions of rebellion and
scattered them like chaff.
It is something to be proud of, some
thing to be grateful for. The irresisti
ble power of awakened conscience was
never before so manifest.
And thus has the country been res
cued from very great peril once more,
and the Chief Magistrate has been
taught a solemn lesson. The people
have decided that the Union must be
restored upon the Congressional plan,
substantially ; that the chiefs of rebell
ion have forfeited their right to the priv
ilege of the elective franchise under the
common Constitution; that treason shall
be made odious and traitors infamous ;
and that the Government shall hereaf
ter be administered upon the broad and
Christian plan of trxivEnsha, JUSTICE
TO UNIVERSAL MAN.
DEFulccr ! Yes, that's the word.—
The new paper at Williamsport has put
out its farthing rush-light, and the city
is draped in gloom. Whether the ex
tinction of the serene Dunham's lumi
nosity will require the Mayor of the
city to keep the street lamps lighted du
ring the day, or not, we cannot say.—
But we shall miss the "something to
laugh at," which always came when
we opened . the Union Republican. If
wevould say " Dunham's gone up," we
Would ; but the truth is, he kept the
company of those whose feet naturally
enough go down, instead of up. "My
policy" is death to its advocates. Dun
ham done his patrons, but "my policy"
done him.
That was a good reply of Theodore
Tilton to the question : " Would you
marry a black woman?" "No," said
he, " unless I was the father of her
children, in which case I would be a
shamed not to marry her."
This was in Philadelphia, and during
his speech at the Union League hall.—
If every rebel and rebel sympathizer
Would take a hint, this hint of Tilton's"
would do them good.
After the defeat of Wright in 1864,
we stated that not Mr. Wright, but his
money, was defeated. We now repeat
the statement as applicable to his Wat
erloo this year. Mr. Wright was never
put forward as a fit person for the posi
tion. In intellect he does not exceed
mediocrity, and in a fair knowledge of
human nature he is hopelessly below
par. He hung around the tap-rooms of
Wellsboro, and employed silly go-be
tweens to corrupt the Republicans who
were believed to be corruptible. Had
he been penniless, even his party would
never have thought of naming him for
Congress.
Wilson's majority in the district is
larger than we reported it last week—or
upward of 2,000. This district, it will
be recollected, was one of the three se
lected by Edgar Cowan & Co., (which
firm now represents the modern democ
racy,) for especial operations. The san
guine Cowan proposed to elect three
Copperjohnson members of Congress in
hliberto Republican districts, but whet
the vote in 1864 was close. Unfortu
nately for his plans, he spent so much
time in trying to defeat Scofield, in
the Warren district, Mercur, 'in the
Bradford district, and Wilson, in this
district, that he suffered Covode to be
elected in his own district, where the
election of a Coppeijohnson was consid
ered safe. The effect of Cowan's influ
ence may be seen in the almost trebling
of Wilson's majority of 1864, and the
heavy gains of Mercur and Scofield
over their majorities in 1864. Mr. Cow
an proposed to defeat three Republicans
the people elected them, and defeated
two Copperheads besides. Our delega
tion in the 40th Congress stands 18 Re
publicans to 6 Copperjohnsons.
We said last week that the dispatch,
to the effect that the President had in
terrogated the Attorney General as to
his prerogative to disperse Congress,
was a hoax. It is so declared by the
President. But it is a significant fact
that the leading papers of the rebels in
the South, as of the Copperheads in the
North, seized upon it as truth, and still
declare that the President may properly
set up as Dbitator and repudiate Con
gress. If these devilish papers desire
to feel the public pulse, very well. They
may as well understand that such alA
ceeding on the part of the President
will die met on the threshold, and those
who adVocate it will disappear like flax
in a flame.
A friend asks us to expose the post
election lie that the Johnsonites have
gained heavily in all the States which
voted October 9. We will dcv it with
figures which cannot be disputed :
Sixty Congressmen were elected on
that day, 48 of whom are Radicals, and
12 Johnsonites.
In 1864 we had 47 of these 60 Con"-
gressmen, and the Johnsonites had 13.
That 14 the way the opposition have
gained se? tremendously. Is it plain?
Put with our 48 the 8 members from
Vermont, Maine, and Oregon, and we
have 56 Radicals elected this fall to 12
Copperheads—about sto 1. Is it plain ?
One of the very best statements of the
question at issue between the Republi
can and Copperhead parties, was made
by ft Tioga county " Democrat" In this
village the other day. Said he : " The
difference between us is just this—the
Republican party is in favor of univer
sal freedom, and our party is in favor of
universal slavery."
We are assured that a prominent apos
tle of that party living here, made the
same a,cknowledgment to a Republican
not many.days ago.
Thank you for so much truth. Go
ahead.
The Copperhead papers aie placing
much stress upon a loose statement that
the sons of Daniel Webster and Henry
Clay are with Andrew Johnson.
Daniel Webster's sons are dead—the
last one having been killed in the war;
and Henry Clay's sons were rebels du
ring the war, and are' not changed at
this present.
• However, it is not very much to be
wondered at that these drowning men
should catch at straws. The lie is harm-
less as far as Webster's sons are con
cerned, and the truth makes against
Johnson as regards Clay's rebel prog
eny.
Some of the Incidents of the campaign
were notable. One B. F. Meyers, the
Copperhead candidate for State Senator
In the Bedford district, said in a speech
in that town that the time would come
when a monument would be erected to
Booth higher than that erected to Lin
coln.
Undoubtedly the rebels and Copper
heads would furnish the funds to build
such a monument. . But we suspect that
the structure would topple down upon
its constructors, and prove the grave
mound of treasoh and its sympathizers.
However, start the subscription paper.
A. Johnson has a queer way of mak
ing traitors infamous. Thiee hundred
and seventy-two persons were indicted
for treason and conspiracy in Kentucky,
and the U. S. District Attorney has en
tered a nolle prasequi in each case. The
people are thus taught that tressOn is
not so much of a crime as larceny.
