In political matters, our memories often mislead us, ami speakers in the excitement of the moment do often mis-speak, or are misunderstood. In printed arguments and statements, however especially when prepared by a responsible person few errors are to be expected. It is for this reason that we say, at the close of the prescit exciting cam paign, PRESERVE COPIES of the documents which have appeared, on nil sides, for future reference. They will le invaluable, if we do not mis take the coming contests. The question of Freedom or Slavery for Kansas, was the jrreat issue. The Republicans contended that the elec tion of Buchanan would endorse the Border Riilfiiu outrages, and extin guish the last human hope for Free dom there. The Democrats denied, and exercised all their powers in per suading that they were better friends of ' Freedom for Kansas"' than their opponents. ' Buck, Brock, and Free Kansas," was inscribed on their ban ners in our Xorthern counties. The rail for the B ichnnan meeting: at Mif fiiuburg, on the 4ih tilt, was printed at the "Argus'" ouice, and contains the. following : 'Ieinoerat ! Whig?! Republicans! turn out. and learn THE fact that it is the Democratic party tint is LA BORING for Freedom for Kansas." Well, they have had a queer way of '"laboring for Freedom in Kansas" tinder Pierce, but perhaps they will do better tinder Buchanan. At any rate. oitKsERVF. the noci'MEXTS, and hold them to theii promises. Keep the Republican documents, also. We are learning over again as a nation, the first, fundamental prin ciples of Constitutional Freedom. A reference to the Republican Platform with Fremont's acceptance and other partv papers, may often be useful and interesting. Keep them carefully, or if you have more than one copy in German or English hand them to a neighbor, and secure his dispassionate examination of their principles during the long winter evenings now coming. ELECTION ITEMS. In Eric Co., Pa., every election district gave a majority for Cochran for Canal Commissioner. Only one district in Schuylkill county gave a majority for Fremont. That was one of the wards in Miners villc, where the Welch arc numerous. Some towns in Vermont gavc "t a vote against Fremont. .John S. Bowcn, Esq., was defeated for Congress in the Delaware and Chester district, by the Fillmourners running a candidate, who got enough votes to accomplish the object. It seems a little remarkable that Fremont should defeat Pierce in his own town and state ; Fillmore in his own town, county and state ; Bucha nati in his own township and coun ty ; Douglas in his own town and countv ; Cass in his own Ftate and counii t-ui to u .i.j.L.ii.s 10 ui, , ana , yet it is qtiestionablc which of the j t.iree candidates lias carnea cantor-, nia, Fremont's own home. I'm' a line from the New England j States westwardly to the Pacific, and , ueaiing southwardly on the way, you : will find an overw hcliniii'' majority for Fremont and Freedom. Such line ; would take in the Northern parts of. the States of Penns-ylvnnia, Ohio, In diana, Illinois and lowa. Advancing Soath of that line, the vote strength- i ens lor Buchanan and Bondage. 1 hu Uuiversalist preacher (Fiske) j who edits the -Pcmisylvaniuii' is tcr- j rildy exercise ! bccati-e the six New .,i.oia!ju suies win e.i.a uiouiiinuiis : vote ayatust Slavery air-ression ; but ; lie has not a reproach to thunder out upon the fourteen Southern States whiob sustain the Slave candidate! Judging by the returns, the 'Black' Democracy' are considerably more popular than the 'Black' Republicans in the 'Black' States! The Fillmore daily paper in Balti more, 'went and died' since Flection. - The New Fngland States all voted for Washington, but since then they have never cast a united vote for the -'residency until now they give it with a astounding majority for Fremont. Jefferson was defeated the first time he was up ftr President and so was Jackson -ami was Ilarrigon and o was Fremont.

Martin, of Lexington, Ky., gives the following upon this point: " I can b 'II you how any man may know. within an inch, the height a colt will attain to when full grown. The rule may not hold good in every iustauce, but iu niue cases out of ten it will. When the colt gets to be three weeks old, or as soon as it gets perfectly straightened in its limbs measure from the edge of the hair on the hoofs to tho middle of the first joint, and for every inch it will grow to the height of a band of four inches, when its growth is matured. Thus, if this distance be found sixteen inches it will make a horse sixteen bauds high. By this means, a man may know something of what sort of a horse with proper care, he is to expect from bis Cl,U.
