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

,And Borough Grandly, however, suc

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

i The Political Outlook in Pennsy lva

Philadelphia we shall' earry ticary and
Williams through by an, old-fashioned
majority. In the anthracite coal reg

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

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

may eolith( nth' be expected. On the
whole we sq) .nothing in the present
situation ‘v ?ieli should cause any but

gently walking over it to easy and de

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

LAMB'S CREEK.—We are improving,
not altogether in building sidewalks, but in sell

latter put up a tine dwelling and completed it.
M. H. 1?ralio was caught by the cold weather and
the dwelling is now approaching completion. C.
Pitsley put up a I,lank hone!), but the frost
caught bim before be got it finished. D. L.
Frolic has laid the foundations of a dwelling
which will eclipse them, l
all, unless our friend,
W. C. Ripley, Esq., steps in and beats it. Mr.
Ripley purchased a lot of Mr. Pitsley at slso—at
the rate of $3OO per acre. Go on good people,
for Main-at., is bound to take the precedence.
J. L. Moore has the frame of his now houtfis up.
Four years ago the place took its start on the
establishment of a Post office. Then a store was

every meeting finds one or more desiring to be
admitted as members of the society.
Wo understand that efforts are being made to
leis° a company of State Militia in Tioga, we
hope it is true, as a well-drilled company of
Militia is an acquisition to any place.
Tioga High School is in full blast. Wo dislike
to brag, but we think Tioga can boast now of as
good a school, as any in .the county. With Mr.
Bodes at the helm it cannot fail to prosper.
It was with deep regret, that wo bade adieu to
our illustrious predecessor "Snob." He was an
energetic Good Templar, tho very life of the
lodge, and a-go d citizen in-every way. Ho leaves
a vacancy in oar little village which it will be
hard to fill, bud , some other community will prob
ably be the gai 4er by our lose.
MAINSMIEG.—Mr. Geo. Stauffer, and
family, aro making a visit of some months to
friends in Maryland.
If your correspondent had been a few days
later with his " items " he might have stated
that Mies E. M. OMB, had agreed with the prin
cipal of the llarford school, Mr. Sweet, to share
her salary and his equally together.
The Baptist Association came off at the State
Road Church according to- appointment. On
both days there wore many more people than the
house affords room for, and the families in the
vicinity were happy to accommodate from ten to
sixty to meals and lodgings. Would it not be
advisable for the Baptist brethren to hold their
yearly meetings in tho grove? " SIIITII.
CrIA.TIIAM.—On the 22d ult., Elder
Haskell preached his farewell sermon, and re
ceived into full communion cloven probationers,
at the Roo School House. On the 211th Elder
Popo preached for Elder Livingston at Chatham
Valley. Conference is now in session and the
