Save the Documents!
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.

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. '-Better luck next
time."

the Lady's Book, the following exqui

Ilf ti.iiT a Colt will Attain when
Grown. Mr. J. U. 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

shabby looking e..ts f.r 9-0 each, and
sold them recently for SJUO. So much

frequently proved by felling young trees,
