NEARLY hundred years ago, DIR. Lind sug-
gested to Captain Kennedy that thirst might
be quenched at sea by dipping the clothing in
to salt water and putting it on without wiring
ing. Subsequently, the Captain, on being cast
away had an opportunity of making the exper-
iment. With great difficulty he succeeded in
pursuading part of the men to follow his ex-
ample, and they all survived while the men
who refused and drank salt water became de-
iirious and died. In addition to putting on
the clothes while wet, night and morning, they
may be wetted while on, two or three times
during the day. Captain K. goes on to say,
'sAfter these operations we uniformly found
that the violent drout went off, and the parch-
ed tongue was cured in few minutes after ba-
thing and washing our clothes, while we found
ourselves as much refreshed as if we had re-
ceived some actual nourishment." The bare
possibility of the statement makes it human
ity for any paper to give it a wide publicity,
since there are not many readers in hundred
who may not go to sea and get shipwrecked.

It is not our design, in fact, is not our
disposition, to exult over the falien-eTen
a foe-but under ell the circumstances
surrounding the Delegate campaign the
part we have taken in it, &C., u read
ers will pardon US the exhibition Of cap
itals-those "laughing types"-this week.
We have been used, before coming west,
to seeing campaigns conducted upon prin-
ciple and merit but the fact is, he who
"dabbles in the dirty pooi' Of Western
politics has to get down pretty low if he
'holds his own" Notwithstanding all
this, we have e~adeavored, on our part,
as far as possible, TO resort only to facts
and what we considered sound argument
in support of our positions. What we have
said or written to the contrary, u rea.
ders will bear US testimony, has been
done in retaliation, or ~self-defence; and
we would it had been otherwise. But
the election is oyer-"lhe die cOstn-and
we are content.
OF course the Delegate vote, is most
gratifying to the friends Of Mr.. Daily.
While we confidently expected his re-
election, we confess the vote, exceeds our
most sanguine expectations. The treat-
ment. however, received by the peo-
pie of Nebraska Territory from the Ad-
ministration and its supporters has
been sufficient 10 cause an uprising among
the people. The result of this election
teaches politicians chat the people demand
honesty in politics as well as other mat
Iers:
The following are the maiorities:

State EIeefIOns.

BY reference TO our Telegraphic col
umns it will be seen that the elections in
the States, recently held. have gone over
whelmingly Republican. This is not atall
surprising, and may reasonably be con-
sidered to fOrshadow the result in the
Presidential contest. The course pursu-
ed BY, and the policy of, the present Ad-
ministraiion, ~imperatively demand a
change, and the people in their Gown
way" are making that change. Penn
s~vlvania, has been considered the battle
ground. The "Key Stone State" hav-
ing a large electoral vote, and which she
has never thrown away, gave rise, and
permanency to the saying: Ifs goes
Pennsylvania so goes the Presidential cleo
tion.p Her State election has gone, as
will be seen, 10000 against an Admin
istration, at whose head stands one Of her
own statesmen; and one, too, whom she
elevated to the position he occupies, and
to retain the confidence Of which, he has
Iayished executive fayors to an extent
equal, if not above those given all other
States in the Union. How terrible the
rebuke under the circumstances. We
await the result, fully convinced that
Abraham Lincoln will be the next Presi-
dent Of the United States, and while we
believe and hope there will be a thorough
and complete cleaning out Of the eau
gean Stables" we have every reason to
believe that his administrator will be a
conservative, union-loving one, which viii
result in great and lasting good to the
country. "Let the people rule"

10 our opinion residents on Indian res

Nebraska than have the people of Mis-
souri, or Iowa. They are not taxed and
aid in no way in supporting our Organi-
cations. The Organic Act. in describing
our Territorial boundaries, expressly
excerpts Indian reservations. As we have
triumlacd even against this vote, we are

They were the frsiI had ever seen, and
the imagination vas so great thar tiine
will never erase it from III ymind. There
is no nobler theme for the novelist, and
The poet, than the stirring incidents in the
emigration to, and the beautiful scenery
in the Rocky Mountains. Often ia the
mountains at the foot Of a large bill, and
winding around, lay our road-seemed to
have business ali through the mountains.
Sometimes 1t would ascend the hill side
to the very summit, aud then abruptly de-
sends to the very foot. This gave US a
full view Of the surrounding scenery. It
was beautiful-to me like that of another
world. The hustle of business, the hum
of men, the discordant voices, the dusty
streets, the samsness and dingy red Of the
houses, the smoky and impure atmosphere
in a city. were only all remembered in
contrast with this bright sSene Of Nature.
But this is a very unpleasant and disagree
able country in which to live. 1t is very
cold now, and during the common season
it rains, SHOWS and halls, all in one day,
and nearly every afternoon Il does seem

The next will be a long winter to me with

cloudy, rain and snow, or be freezing cold.
Thus wags the world.

over two-thirds went for Honest Old Abe.
The Republicans have had torCh-light
professions away out here, $50 miles from
where we could vote for Abe Lincoln
Imagine what we would do for him if
we only could. But his election is sure,
for it seems that the only contest is Brock

at the meeting hat the Breckenridge men
