A long polemic blends abolitionist rhetoric with satirical attacks on Mormonism and polyamory, recounting political clashes over slavery and union. It lampoons Democrats and reporters, cites Stephen Douglas and the Charleston controversy, and ends with a sarcastic appeal for funds for Charleston missionaries as a mock funeral march for Stephen.
German Republican Carl Schurz praises Lincoln's nomination and the Wisconsin support for the Republican platform. He lauds Lincoln's leadership, attacks Douglas and the Democratic split, and urges unity on principle to defeat the Democrats in the upcoming election.
The piece argues Mr. Wigfall’s opposition to Kansas joining the Union, contending Texas cannot be corrupted by Kansas if its morality is so low. It mocks the idea and defends admitting two Republicans, citing Southern migration and Yankee influence as harmful. The Times notes Wigfall’s sensitivities to unruly conduct and profane speech among Northern arrivals.
A Waterloo resident recounts a nine year hydrophobia history with yearly paroxysms and a dramatic attack observed last week. After seizures he remains weak yet recovers by next day. The account notes a curious post-episode bark reaction and a home remedy using Old Bourbon water and sugar to restore strength within ten days.
A Brooklyn jokester famed for shrewd speculation arranges a spoof meeting with three invited men at Clinton and Joralemon streets. A phantom mistress and gilt edged letters lure two ex office holders and a Brockyn editor, who hide behind trees as a staged encounter unfolds for amusement.
Fragmented dramatic plea in a wife’s angry tirade as she confronts her partner about staying out all night before an election.

The language is coarse and comical, with muddled names and slang.
