BEWARE OF FALSE PRETENCEs

We copy the following article from the II
QgG Agitator, as applying with eqnal force to
this latitude -
The republicans of New York, long in the
aScendent in that State, had the magnanimity
to offer to suspend all partizan hostil!ies du-
ring the continuance of the war, and to unite
with the democrats in electing Union ticket,
pledged to support the administration in put
ting down the rebellion, and pledged to that
only From the course of the democrats in
every other state and county where the Re-
publicans have majority, such an offer was
expected TO be at once accepted, but the lead
ers of the democracy there and everywhere else
have not yet given up the idea of "peace up
on any basis" no matter how Illuminating, and
so they through their State Committee, de-
clined this offer. Indeed this democratic com
mittee goes so far as to say that they regard
" it as the duty of the national government
" at all times to hold ont terms Of peace and
accommodation to the dissevered state
" that as our political system was founded in
" Compromise and has been so perpetuated, it
" can never be dishonorable in any admins
tratiou to seek to restore it by the same
means"
Such is democracy. 1t refuses to sacrifice
party for the sake of the nation. 1t proposes
to restore and perpetuate the larceuous poll
cy so shamelessly carried out during the adj
ministration of the traitor Buchanan, and to
compel US to compromise with armed rebels"
The forlorn hope of the Democracy still left
in this county are trying different game
They are SO much attached to the Union
that they wish the Republicans to abandon
their organization and have but one party
Union party-and Of course these prtriotic
democrats would make no objections to hav
ing half or even all the Offices The same
game is being attempted in all other countie,
Of the State ccherc he Rsppbicans hare the MT

jOrity But bow is it in counties where the
Democrats are in the majority? Why in
these counties the jesuitical locofocos are
opposed to Union party to man. In Co
| lumbia, Monroe, Elk, and other counties the
jesuts laugh at proposition for union with
Republicans, and have had, or will have moth
ing but simon pure democrats TO hold Office.
The Republicans of Tioga County can not
be decoyed into such a game as this. They
know that once successful, the democratic
leaders would sell them body aud sonl to the
slave drivers of the South The same leaders
who are pulling wires with milk and water Re-
publicans to sell out the party here and else
where, are the same who have heretofore Goa
spired indirectly against the Union by making
cowardy concessions to the helthonuds who
have now got the knives at the nations
throat. These hell-hounds who murder the
sick and wounded on the battle feld-theSe
ncarnate fends whom the democrats delight
to call " our brethern of the South" are just
now nnxously waiting for the formation of un-
ion parties, knowing we'll that if they once
get the Republican party divided and distract
ed, free government will be at an end, and
their government will stand triumphant.
To honest and earnest Republicans those
who believe that this government can assert
itself-that it was founded to perpetuate free
dom and not slavery-to those we say be-
ware of this iDsiduous game which the Jesuit
cal democrats are now playing in the name Of
the Union.
To the weak kneed, weak headed and puer-
lie Republicans who see in the ~ MON game" a
chance for themselves to come to the top, we
say also beUare. You have been weighed and
found wanting, for otherwise you would not
trife with your own liberties. When you
come to the light (if you ever do you will be
weighed and found wanting again.
To all men-Democrats as well as Repub-
licans-we say, that our platform is broad com
prehensiVe, patriotic. 1t covers the whole
Union as our Fathers made it, If you wish
to perpetuate freedom step on our platform
The UNION for the sake of freedom the Cox.
sTITUrIoN and the war for its maintanauce
until all the rebels lay down their arms
and the ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAWS even to
the hanging of traitor leaders. That is the
Republican Platform. All other platforms
just now are fraught with danger to the
country.

SEIZURE OF TWO HUNDRED THOUS.
AND DOLLARS INTENDED FOR
THE ENEMY.

Last Tuesday afternoon the Surveyor of the
Port, with Officers Isaacs and Bum, boarded
the steamer Persia at Quarantine. On the
way up to the city Intelligence was communi-
Gated to the Surveyor to the effect that one
of the passengers on board, named Thomas s.
Serril, was violent secassioniSt, and had sta
ted to another passenger that he was return
ing from Europe with the proceeds of loan
which he had negotiated iu Europe for the
Southern Canfederacy.
On the arrival of the steamer at Jersy City,
Officers IsaacS and Bum made athorough search
of the person and baggage of the passengers
designated, and succeeded in finding $40 900
in Bank of England notes, AMI a large number
Of letters and other important papers, the con-
tents of which leave no doubt that the ihfor
nation given to the Surveyor was correct.
Surveyor Andrews at once communicated
with Secretary Chase, who was in the city, aud
the Secretary commended the proceedings
already taken and advised the arrest of Serril
The matter was also communicated to the
Federal Government at Washington.
Meanwhile the money, amounting to $40.
900 and the letters were taken to the Surveyors
Office The letters have been read and dis
covered to be strongly secession in tone, and
some Of them suggest plans for breaking the
blockade and supplying the Liverpool market
with cotton. These dispatches leave no
doubt as to the character of the bearer, and
render it probable that the 100000 was a
loan to the Confederate States" as he rep
resented.
Several passengers by the Persia have vol
unfairly come forward and have made afida

board the ship.
This morning the United States District
Attorney put warrant for Serrill's arrest in
the hands of an officer
Mr. Serrill is New Orleans man, who has
been four years engaged in the cotton business
He is about fifty years of age, and is repre-
sented to be wealthy.
Some Of the GffidaVits of passengers, made
this morning, states positively that Serril said
that the money in bis possession was loan
for the Confederate States.
Alta quarter past one o'clock Mr. Serrl called
upon Surveyor Andrews by appointment, and
had a brief interview with him. lie was then
introduced to deputy of the United States
Marshal, who arrested him and took him to
the Marshals Office.
The vigilance of the Surveyor of the Port in
causing this i'm mportant seizure and arrest and
passengers arriving by the steamers, cannot
be too highly commended.
I. The G40 900 and the letters taken from
Serrll have been handed by the Collector to
the United States District Attorney, together
with the Surveyors statement respecting the
sezure-N Y. Post, Of the 1914.

A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS, A joint committee OF both Houses
of Congress has waited on the President Of
the United States, aud requested him to re-
commend day of public humiliation, prayer
and fasting, to be observed by the people of
the United States with religious solemnities

ton that the fear OF the Lord is the beginning
of wisdom, and to pray with all Iervency and
cODtrition for the pardon OF their past offences
and for blessing upon their present AMI pro
spectjVe actions; and whereas, when our
beloved country, once, by the blessing of God
united, prosperous ana happy, is now afflicted
with factious and civil war, it is peculiarly fit
for US to recognize the hand of God in this
visitation and sorrowtul remembrance of our
own faults and crimes, as a nation and as in
dviduals, to humble ourselves before Him and
to pray for His mercy to pray that we may
be spared further punishment, though most
Justly deserved that our arms may be blessed
and made effectuel for re establishment of law
order and peace throughout our country, and
that the inestmabe boon of civil and religi
Gus liberty, earned under His guidance and
blessing by the labors and sufrages of our
fathers, may be restored in all its original ex
celleney. Therefore /, Abraham Lincoln, Pre-
sident of the Uunted States, do appoint the
last Thursday in September next as a day of
humiliation, prayer and fasting for all the peo
pie of the nation, and do earnestly recon-
mend to the people, and especially to all min

tions, to all heads of families, to observe and
keep that day according to their several creedS
and modes of worship in all humility, and with
all religious solemnty,to the end that the unit
ed prayer of the nation may ascend to the
Throne of Grace and bring down plentiful
blessings upon our own country.

MIR. LANDoN's ADDRESS.

On our outside will be found an address
from Mr. LANDoN, defending his vote for the
repeal of the Tonnage Tax. We bespeak for
this paper, careful and candid perusal Gt the
hands of Mr. LANDoN's constituents. Having
never favored that measure ourselves, we may
be permitted to say, that we believe the vote
was given through upright motives, and for
reasons which he deems most conclusive
Now that the sober second thought" has
had time to resume its sway We trust that
Mr.. LANDoN will be heard with patience and
judged without prejudice. If the reason be
adduces are satisfactory, those who have diff
fered with him, should have the candor to make
an acknowledgment that such is the fact
while no one should be ready to condemn
without hearing.

The correspondent of the Democrat writing
from Springfield on the 18th, furnishes de-
tailed account of the battle of Wilson's Creek
The main facts have been already telegraphed
The enemy's camp extended along the creek
for three miles, enclosed by high ground on
each side, upon which the greater part of the
engagement was fought
1t does not appear that the rebels were
driven back for any considerable distance, but
their charges were all repulsed, and they burn
ed a large amount of camp equipage and bag.
gage to prevent its capture
The enemy had twenty-one pieces of artil-
lery, and very large body of cavalry.
General Siege attacked the rebels from the
southeast, as soon as he heard from General
Lyons command, and drove them back half a
