Thn Arens and itS Pacts,


Whenever question Of fact springs up between two
men in a community, there are several metho1s OIL
settlement, either Of which will satisfy those who may
feelinterested. We propose one and as it is fair
one, apprehend the Argus cannot object 70 it. AS
question of fact it canbe proyedby the record The
Argus of September 2nd, said that
There is no State that polls more abolition votes
according to the population than New Hampshire
Ii this statement is true, it can be proved We can
the sincerity of the Argus in regard to its state
ment, and We propose to dol in this way 1t shall
select two men, and cne and to the three we will
submit the Presidential OF lS4S, and if they de
eide that the statement OF the Argus is TRUE, its ed
tor can hat at expense, worth Six Dollars,
ifwes on other hand, purchase hat at the same
cost to neghbor, if his figures do not sustain him.
Wing authority alone shall be presented and the find
ing of the three shall be published in both papers.
The Argus OF the 9th of September, says,
1--WE have seen letter from Cabell in the Georgia
papers, in which he says that 'as the Wings of my
State have decided TO support the nominees of the
Wing Conventional deem it my duty to do likewise"

sayshe will @s0ppor and vote for Gen. Scott for the
Presidency neig hbof fails produce the let

value.

Seen. Scott owns Slaves
IL the Argus will prove that positively to be the fact
its editor wears pair okid gloves, the best the
town-aords, atour expense; it fails in the proof

The Argus ofthe l6tIr Of SEPTEMBER says, that it's
