Removal of the County Buildings. Correspondence of the Agitator As our eyes ran over the columns of the AdITATOR of last week they fell upon an " article". written from Tioga in reference to removing the county seat 'from Wellsborr to Tiotitc. And I would now say, af er considering the project for quite a length of !bile; and• taking into consideration) tbe advan tages that the valley of the Tioga has over other portions of theileounty, de rived from its railroad, telegraphs, &,c— -which as the correspondent from `Doge says, makes it the centre, of the com mercial business of our county;" we have come, to the conclusion that it would be expedient, and. to ,the great advantage of the masses of the inhab itants of the county to have the county seat moved somewhere upon the line of the Tioga _Railroad. And- we agree with, the correspondent that such removal ought to be made; and while we would join hands with him in petitioning for a law to be passed, giving the people an opportunity to vote upon said change of the county seat, we would not ask, or desire, that the law should compel us to vote that it should be eliaoged to Tioya. Many migh4think there woul4l be other places upon thaline of the railroad that would be mote casilyaecessible to the major ity of inhabitants of the county.— After looking at the map of the county, myself, for one, would suggest that Mansfield would be more central, and the best place for the county seat, of any on the line of the railroad, taking " into consideration the many advanta ges it has over Tioga, of which I will not now speak-. But weal(' ask your read ers to consider my suggestion, being as sured that Mansfield and vicinity will be as ready as Tioga, or any other place, to erect the county buildings without any expenSe to the county. Mansfield, Sept: 7, 3869. PACKER'S' FRAUD The folloWing article from the Mauch Chun& Oazet,te, reveals more of Packer than is to be L l learned from Democratic biographies. Is a man wh%would he guilty of so contemptible a dodge, lit for Governor? Head it and then an swer: 'The impression has gerae out through the papers of the - State that Judge Packer's residence is in this coun ty. This is a mistake. It is true he has a splendid mansion here, that his family reside in it, and that, he regards it as his home, but in IS6; he took up his legal iesidenee in the Sixth Ward, Philadelphia,by having himself assessed and LIN taxes paid their. Ile did this to avoid the Cariam county the ben efit of the reventfe it was entitled to de rive from the legal taxation on his vast estate. The County Commissioners ,And Borough Grandly, however, suc ceeded by legal process in collecting the taxes for that year, which had been as sessed here, hut wide!t he hoped to be able to transfer to Philadelphia. Since then Mr. Packer has lived lid e just as oh o hay don e for the last 1 wenty-live years, and has utterly ;'oftised to colt tribute by his taxes to the support of our schools, our almshouse, our roads, aml our borough—dodging the question by a nominal reside/welt] a diSfaili city. - This procedure, whi(•11 perhaps his friends can reeoucile wit ti that.

In Philadelphia we shall' earry ticary and Williams through by an, old-fashioned majority. In the anthracite coal reg ions,where Mr. Packer should have con siderable strength, he will fall behind the average Democratic vote, as he is by no means popular with the laboring people who go to make up the, opposi tion in that section, lie may, through social and business rplations, draw to himself a few Republican votes, but he will lose a hundred fold in the ranks of his own party. - West of the mountains the enthusiasm for the Republican tick et is great, and the accuNtomed major ities, in proportion to the vote out, may eolith( nth' be expected. On the whole we sq) .nothing in the present situation ‘v ?ieli should cause any but the oppositiO to discourage, as . never before have we entered a canvass where the course presented so fair a surface for gently walking over it to easy and de cisive victory.—Pilispurg Gazette, INTERESING TO PENSIONERS.---Tho following, Contained in a circular issued by a United States pension agent, will be interesting to all persons drawing pensdons from the Government: " All United States pensioners are hereby notified that the proper and legal char ges Tor securing Such pay are only as follows ; For preparing vouchers, :25 cents; for oath of identity, 15 cents; total 40 cents.

"Hughes, the avowcd and notorious rebel sympathiser during the war, was the author of the resolutions of the Convention which nominated Judge Packer. Wm. A. Wallace, of coffee-ground naturalization fame, was the chiefengineer inside the Conven tion ; Alderman McMullen, the ruler of Fourth Ward, of Philadelphia, which can give more Democratic votes than it has inhabitants, was thb Chairman of the Committee on Organization ; and Brick Pomeroy, of the La.

The decrease of the public debt dur ing the month of August notwithstand ing the heavy payments on pension ac count, is $5,604,234,79; and the total decrease since March, 1, is $0,500,758,51. That is the fruit of sfx months of Grant.. Give us more of thelsameiort. A vote for Geary is a vote to sust. din ilrant and economy. At last the opposition to the ticket takes on its true hue. The Democracy courteously refrain from nominating a candidate for Prothonotary out of con sideration for M. Donaldson, who may now be fairly considered a ward of that party. How does he relish the guar dianship ? _ _ _ Are you registered ? The lists of voters have been posted at the places of holding elections by the Assessors. Let every voter examine the list of his elec tion district and see if his name is on it. If not, have it placed there. Go to the Assessor and see that he registers you. Any Assessor refusing to regilter a legal voter on applic dion is" subject to tine and imprisonlyient. Republi cans, attend to these things at once. The nomination of Mr. C. G. Wlll - for the Legislature by the Democ racy! reflects credit upon that party. He has been faithful to his party when more pretentions men proved weak and vacillating; and nowhere do we know of a more perfect embodiment of what are known as " Democratic principles" than Mr. Williams. In such a nomin ation there is no shirking or shuffling. It is fairly, and squarely,•aud intense ly Democratic, according to the littest received meaning of the term. A report is being industriously circu lated, to the effect that Hon. S. F. WIL SON is for Mr. Donaldson, against the ticket. We take occasion to say that Mr. Wilson is for the tickef.'noininated lo the Republican Convention, and for every Man on the Ticket at . the head of thiA paper, from aeary to Reggie. Mr. Wilson's reply to a gentleman who had heard the report alluded to, and 'men tioned, it-to him, settles tlio question " After twice receiving the suffrages Of Rqmbliertns for Mc highest office in their gift in this disiriel, does any man of climmon sense suppose that I would sec ond an'attaek upon tlw sdwight Repub lican ticket ?" Mr. Wilson was for the nomination of Mr. Donaldson. The people were no so minded, and Mr. Wilson, like all Itepubliquis of his de cided convictions, abide-4 by the action of the people in Convention. What ever " high authority" may circulate the report of his defection, we state what we have stated above with higher and more truthfully " high authority" to back,us. If any Tioga Republican fall iiiNhe trap set by the Copperhead managers we intend that he shall walk deliber ately, and with open eyes, into the snare. "It must needs be that offences shall come," as it is written ; but the of fence shall not come this way 'unadver- Used, nor shall the men by whoM it comes escape condemnation. Parties do not spring full armed into existence. They are the growth of years. Their growth may be • aptly compared to that of a tree. GO into the woods and pick out the finest maple.you can ilia You will see that the bark is jagged and broken, and if you sit an hour under that tree you will note the occasional fall of bits of bark around you. In its lifetime a thrifty maple will cast its useless outer husk many times. This comes of growth. As the tissues increase, more or less rapidly, in that proportion , will the bark cleave off. Thus, a thrifty tree will shed its useless coat more rapidly than ono of sickly growth. So, also, you may note the process of sloughing off by parties, and by church es ; that is, if you are a student of men and things ; and if you are not, then become students of men without de= lay. No party stands still ; and no party can rely upon its last census in detail. Like the visitors to great Hotels, some are coming and some going.— Every year parties 'cast some portion of their outer skin, it having served its purpose. Btxt, as when some blast of air whirls a cloud of dust nobody shouts that the earth is blowing away, 'so at this sloughing off the rind of an organization nobody supposes, save the dislodged persons, that the organization is receiving damage. n the contrary, the process is hygienic and necessary. You may follow and apply this argil , went without difficulty if \yoi will look arounll . you. You can draw the line separating love of self, or \ something baser, from leie of_principle., - At the same time it is the duty of ev ery man to make all due allowances for human ecentrlcity. The men who are dropping off the rim of the great wheel as it revolves, are no more to b 9 blamed than the pieces of bark cast off hourly by the forest tree. That is to say—they ily off in obedience to a known law of growth and being, over which neither has a jot of control. You may see the same phenomenon at any great gather ing of men and women, where the out side of the crowd is changing position, like the bits of glass In's' Kaleidoscope, lIIMMMMEM every moment; some straggling off; some noisy, and some lying in the shade. All this time the bulk of the assembly will be found engaged in the pursuit of, a common object, ' alive to the purpose of life, and earnest to fulfil its higher requirements. Now, suppose yourself to be in a wood, and forced to camp out. You have to cook your food and must have fire. There are stalwart, standing trees, and hbre are fallen limbs and bits of bark. Which do you take to build your fire? Not the trees, but the dry branch es and the fallen bark.' . Very Well. When an armed enemy meditates au attack upon the opposing army he does not fail pell-mell upon the strongest positions. He gobbles up stragglers, - and converts them into guides to the Weakest point. There are soldiers of fortune in every army—men who have no particular affection for either Sag, but will fight for the party which best pays. In political parties there are many. sorts of people. Some try for position, fail, and get soured - . The enemy , comes and gobbles such people up. Some"cannotendure to bat tle long for objects with which they have no sympathy. To them, princi ples are abstractions. The enemy, sooner or later, gobbles these men up. Others are as restless as the winds ; and having no anchorage, they drift finally into the enemy's harbor. But really, good people, the enemy is not stronger for Stich feeding. .And- really, friend, no party is essentially weaker for the loss of such portiOns of its strength. We ask, with all .due deference— where are the 37 Republicans who last year. voted for Afackey against - Arm strong? In how much did they weak en the Republican party? Rather, did they not shim their own unspeakable weakness, and nothing more? Do you believe that any man devoted to Re publican principles voted for Mr. Mack ey ? We have seen too much of the ir reclaimable shams of life to be taken in and done for by any such absurd pretence. As with one, so all of the class. No man whose pres'.3nce in the Republican party is not a positive damage to it, will vote for Asa 'Packer. That there are fifty such Republicans in Tioga County we do not suppose:— But men too seldom pause to reflect up on the law of growth and progress as applied to political organizations. It is well to become familiarized with such jmatters, so that the citizen' may see, unmoved, the dissolving views which constitute the outskirts of those micel laneous crowds named parties. The Democracy of this County have nominated the following ticket : Assembly—C. G. Williams, Wells boro ; Treasurer—J. '.1;3. Murdaugh, Mansfield ; Register—John L. Sexton, Fall Brook ; Commissioner—H. J. El liott, Charleston ; Auditors—A. Rein wait, 'Rik, Henry Moury, Farmington, Daniel Watson, Rutland. The omission to nominate a candi date for Prothonotary will be significant to intelligent men of all parties. How ever, that the identity of the Donald son bolt may be fully established, we append the following resolution, adopt ed by the Convention ' Whereas, Two candidates for the office of Pro thonotary being already in the field, one as the nominee of the Republican party, the. Other as an Independent candidate, therefore . Resolved, That it is inexpedient for the Dem ocrats to make a nomination for that office, leaving the individual members of the party to select from the candidates now before the people. There may be a few suckling Repub licans who will fail to make the appli cation suggested by the foregoing reso lutions, but it is safe to say that no man will vote that dodge under a misappre hension. The desperate efforts being made to create divisions •in the Republican ranks, elsewhere in the State as well as in Tioga County, ought to arouse the faithful and wise to the utmost of re sistance. Already the Repudiation Democracy is aiming to increase its in fluence•in the 42d Congress, preparatory to an attempt to discredit the national debt, and by consequence unsettling all values. In Tioga County the managers have neglected to put meal trough in the tub to cover the cat's ears. And yet, a fevi of the innocents and naturals seem fated to get bit by the Copperhead cat. The Copperheads are complaining ( that the President and allot' the Cabi net were out of Washington one day. not long ago. They regard it as incon sistent with law. We can quiet their vas necessary Under Democratic rule it O was necessary for some member to stay at home-to watch the others, so' that no one could steal more than his share.— As Grant propo:ses to be content with his salary, and to employ no Touceys, Floyds, or Thompsons to do public business, the old rule of setting a thief to watch a thief is played out. We see by the' Atchisoft Champion & Press, that our old friend aid towns man, Frank A. Root, Esq., is announced as a candidate for Treasurer of Atchison County I(anss.' To say that we hope he will get the nomination does not express our sentiments. There ought to be no doubt of his 'nomination. Hels a man of unblemished integrity, fine bus iness ability, and a Republican of the truest stamp. Besides this, Frank is a newspaper man, has worked hard for the triumph of Republican principles, and has nevlr been a hungerer after the flesh-pots. Will somebody tell us why Democrat ic politicians object to taxation to pay the national debt? Scarcely one of the leading million'aires of that party in New York returns any taxable in come. However, we can give them credit for one acknowledgement—that the reduction of the tax on whisky has proved good policy, and profitable to the Treasury. This is on the principle of increased sales, smaller profits, and quick returns. If, as the Copperhead _papers loudly declare, Gon. Grant has been fishing for trout in August, let the law be in forced. Not even the President is en titled to violate the statutes. But how is it that the last three Democratic Presidents, guilty of crimes that merit ed the Penitentiary h as has been proved, have not been brought to justice? One died peacefully in his bed, and the sur viving two will doubtless die in ithe gutter ROME MATTERS. WEDNESDAY, SEPT, 8, 1869.
