territorial Agricultural Fair.

Last week we attended the First Ter
~ritorIaI Agricultural and Mechanical Fair
at Nebraska. The result of this, not only
the first Nebraska Territorial Fair, but
the first Territorial Fair ever held in the
United States, was most gratifying. It
a perfect success, when we take every
thing into consideration. The tires are
hard and many at a distance felt that they
could not incur the expense Of attending.
The regular Steamboat Packets were all
out of order-one sunk, and the other
fast on a sand bar-and going to and fro
in that way cut off; we are in the midst
of election excitement, and everybody
thinking and talking politics. Taking
everything into consideration, we repeat,
the result was all the most sanguinef friends
of the enterprise could expect.
We met many in attendance from the
counties of Richardson, Nemaha, Otoe,
Cass, Johnson, Sarpy, Douglas and Wash
ington. There were others no doubt from
other counties. We were glad to meet
so many representatives of the press, viz:
RoBERTsoN-of the NebraSkian, WEBSTER
of the Republican, IRISH of the Press,
REYSoLDs of the News and GILES of the
Sentinel.
The exhibition of Stock, Farm Pro-
ducts, Mechanism, Works of Art, &C.,
were creditable indeed. Of course there
was not that variety to be found in the
county or State Fair in the States. What
there was, however, was unsurpassed any,
where. The attendance on the last two
days especially, was large, embracing the
Politician, Farmer, Mechanic, Artizan,
Professional men of every variety-all
classes were there, from the Chief Exec
utive to the humbIest citizen; all enjoyed
themselves and felt that it was good to
be here
The address, by Secretary MORTON,
was excellent and appropriate, and was
listened to attentively by hundreds of his
fellow citizens. 1t, together with the
Premium List will be published in due
time.

or had not heard read the code, demand
that it should be, lake all other bills, read
in the House before being put upon its
passage. These statements we make and
defy their contradiction. We do not
make the denial because we think the
fact of so voting or acting-with proper
restrictions, of course-a crime alarming
ly heinous; bus TO show TO what an ex-
tent the opponents of Mr.. Daily are 60
ing F; resorting to downright falsehoods;
circulating reports without any sanitation
whatever.
This "rip-roaring'' about "nigger tes-
timony'' is all poppy" and only exhibits
an objectionable degree of ignorance on
the part Of those who are continually
"harping" about it. There is scarce a
slave state even, in the Union, where ne
groes are not allowed to testify; they
testify across the river here in Missouri.
No sane man of course contends that the
testimony of a blubber-lipPed, thick
skulled, lOng-heeled, woolly-headed Eth
opian should be placed in the scales, en-
titled to equal weight with that of a white
man! When negro testimony is taken, it
is simply taken for oUhat 1t is north, and
nothing more. A horses or dogs testi-
mony is good as far as 1T goes, and
there are actually instances on record
where the instinct of both has been rec
eived as convincing testimony. But We'll
not pursue this question, for we inherently
hate a niger, and don't like to talk or
write about them.
Again, the friends of the Administra-
ton charge Mr.. Daily with being infavor
Of Congressional interference" While
we know the Republican platform of Ne
braska contains that odious doctrine, we
are free to say Mr.. Daily individually has
always, atleaSt since our acquaintance with
him, been in favor Of Popular Sover-
eignty"-Douglas Popular Sovereignty.
He recognizes the po1Uer of Congress over
the Territories. The simple question of
pOuer is one in regard to which there is
but little if any difference Of opinion
among men of all parties. The great
question before the American people is
the policy or justicein Congress exercising
that power. Mr.. Daily Is opposed to the
exercise of Congressional power, and in
favor of the people Of the Territories
regulating all their domestic affairs in
their Own way.
We think this latter charge comes with
a peculiarly bad grace from Administra-
ton Democrats-men who are so out Of
humor because the non-intervention doc
trine was made a plank in the Platts-
mouth Platform. Throw good eggs,
boysr'

Led US have a Fair Fight.

We like a fair, open, manly fight;
there is always something noble about
such a contest. But this biting, gouging,
guerilla mode of warfare has nothing
about it to be admired by an intelligent,
high-toned class of people. Our readers
know we have announced ourself as not
supporting Mr.. Daily on pOlitical grounds,
and yet, when we see an attempt to mis-
represent him, we shall take occasion to
defend him.
1t is asserted that Mr.. Daily, while a
member of the House last winter, voted
in favor of allowing negroes to testify
This is a "base fabrication" He did
not so vote had no opportunity TO do so;
did not offer such an amendment to the
code did Dot open his mouth in the
House upon that subject: The question
sras not before tie House! He did, how

Who is to be Delegate?

From the fact that Gen. Estabrook is
unable to "hoe his own row" with the
"Jack Ass of Liberty" we hear anxious
enquiries that in case the Gen. should be
elected, will all these men who are now
Logging for him, by assisting on the
stump, go to Washington and help him act
Delegate? If they will, the thing is all
right, and we ought all to go for the Gen.
and thus secure some half dozen Dele
gates in place of one. If Judge Kinney
or Holly will promise to go in Gen. Es-
tabrook's place to Congress, in case he is
elected, we'll agree for one to 90 in heart
and hand for the General. What say

How About IT.

We see the candidates for the Legis-
lature this year in this county are dis
posed to slip OUT Of addressing the
people, We hope they will not fail to let
their fellow citizens know how they stand
on the Hartford Convention, the Alien
and Sedition Law, United States Bank
and all such 'living' questions in which the
people of Nebraska are interested! You
should say nothing about whether you are
IN favor Of, or against the passage of an
act authorizing the converting Of a Con-
stitutional Convention in Nebraska, and
other matters in which N~ebraskians are
not interested d!

Getting Desperate,

We understand the friends Of Esta-
brook have become so much alarmed that
they are importing speakers from Iowa.
If they will be content with speakers
and not import voters, there will be nc
very loud complaining. But, query
DON'T it look as though the chances Of
success are thought to be slim? It is said
one Of these imported speakers will visit
this region. We know Iowa feels a great
interest in the success of Gen. Estabrook.
Cause why The Rail Road interests of
Iowa and NORTHERN Nebraska are
Identical. Nothing local in this election!!
No, no; nothing of the kind. Some
peoples eyes wiU be opened one Of these
days-uhen its too late.

Since writing the above we have rec
eived the Omaha Nebraskian of the Oath,
which contains near a column Of editorial
charging Mr.. Daily with being present at
the BrownvilIe Convention, and in favor
Of, and voting for, and sustaining the
annexation movement. The same paper
contains a letter from Gen. Estabrook ad-
dressed 10 Capt. Mackey, a prominent
member Of the Annexation Convention in
this city, enquiring as to the truth of the
charge against Mr.. Daily. Capt. Mackey
replies by saying: 81 have the honor to
state that Hon, s. G. Daily was a mem
Der of that Convention, and that he sus-
tanned its measures by his vote" and,
speaking further, this Capt. Mackey
says: ats measures were all adopted
unanimously, and the vote of Nemaha
County was cast in favor Of annexation
By 5. G. Daily, R. w. Furnas, and
others"
The NeJraskian says: keep it be-
fore the people that SamuelG Daily, the
Republican candidate for Congress, was a
prominent member of the BrownvilIe
Convention in January last, having for its
object the dismemberment of this Terri
toryr
How do some of our conscientious sup
porters of Mr.. Estabrook. who were pre-
sent at the Brownville Convention, and
were eye witnesses of the course pursued
by Mr.. Daily relative to annexation, like
this ~high-toned, honorable mode of cleo
~tioneering?
Now Capt. Mackey knows that Mr.
Daily opposed annexation, for he, him
self, as a friend of annexation, made a
reply in opposition to Mr.. Daily's opposi-
ton speech.
The editor of the Webraskian knows
Mr.. Daily opposed the annexation scheme
and so noticed in his paper at the time.
He knous that Mr.. Daily was a friend to
Omaha and North Platte in that Conven-
ton and throughout the agitation of that
question; and now he villainously smites
the hand that rendered HIM aid. This,
bov,nvar iS DothiDr Dau,f for that man .
he is in the habit of so doing.
If we can find space in the .Adverti8er
next week. we will copy the Nsbraskian's
article and Capt. Mackey's letter, that
the people in this county, who are know
ing to all the facts as to Mr.. DaiIy's con-
nection with the South Platte Convention
in this city, may see to what base means
Estabrook's friends are reSOrting to car
ry his election.

A New Candidate for Delegate.

We learn that M. w. STowELL, of
Peru, in this county, is out as a candidate
for Delegate to Congress. BY what in
fuences he was brought out, or what is his
hobby, we are unable to say. This we
know, however, that in consequence of a
personal difficulty between Mr.. Stowell
and Mr.. Daily, the former is very bitterly
opposed to the latter. So far as our ac-
quaintance extends with Mr.. Stowell, we
have found him to be an excellent kind
of man in every respect; perhaps, going
to extremes in his ~prejudices. He GER
tainly has no Congressional aspirations,
and all he desires, or can expect, is to
take a few votes away from Daily. He
may, in the precinc; in this county in
which he and Mr.. Daily both reside, get
some half dozen votes; no more. Many
of his fellow citizens-among whom are
Mr.. Daily's friends-would willingly vote
for him for almost any reasonable position
he might ask, but could not be induced to
vote for him now, knowing the object he
has in running.
Mr.. Stowell we understand is North of
the Platte, running asa Temperance can
didate. We know Mr., S. to be a consis-
tent, devoted friend of temperance, and
hope he may be kindly treated sup NORTH
see the folly of his course before the cleo
ton, and come home and vote for his
neighbor Mr.. Daily.

Another FabricatlOn-A Base Lie !

Up North of the Platte the opponents
of Mr. Daily-many of whom were loud
in praising him last winter, because of
his opposition to South Platte annexation
are now busily circulating reports that he
favored that movement and voted for it in
the South Platte Convention in this city,
on the 9Th of January! Men must GER
tainly have lost all hopes of success in an
honorable race, when they resort to such
base falsehoods with which to bolster up
their rapidly decreasing prospects. Now
the facts in relation TO Mr.. Daily's course
on the South Platte annexation scheme,
are briefly as follows, and no gentleman,
even Mr.. Daily's bitterest opponent or
enemy, dare say to the contrary.
Mr.. Daily, as is well known in this
section Of the country, was, from first to
last, very bitterly opposed to South Platte
Nebraska annexation to Kansas-made
a number of speeches against the move
ment, and wrote a letter which was pub
lished in the Advertiser of December 23d,
1853. The South Platte Convention,
which assembled in this city on the 9Th
of January, was called for the purpose of
asC~ertaining the views or wishes Of the
people South of Platte in regard to the
annexation proposition; it was participat-
ed in by men both for and against the
measure. Mr.. Daily was present as a
Delegate from Nemaha County, and
made before that Convention, what was
admitted by even the warmest friends of
annexation, the strongest speech against
annexation, made by any one during the
agitation of that measure.
The Delegates from Nemaha were, by
the meeting at which they were appoint
ed, instructed to cote for anneratiOn.-
Mr.. Daily, like a man of honor and prin-
ciple, showed his willingness to comply
with the expressed wishes of his consti-
tuency, and under the instructions voted
for annexation, but even then did so UN-
DER PROTEST; and after the vote was
taken, was again called out, and again
spoke in strong terms in opposition to an
nexation.
These, we repeat, are the facts; and if
Mr.. Estabrook's friends have no other
hope of success than by basely misrepre-
senting Mr.. Daily, they surely conclude
their case a desperate one. The voters
of Nebraska are too well posted; too in
telligent; too honorable and high-minded
to b. imposed upon in that kind of style.
Until quite recently we have felt
somewhat Indifferent as to the result of
the Delegate contest, as is well known.
But we frankly confess when we see such
means used to defeat a candidate as are
being brought into requisition to defeat
Daily, we feel like "pitchiDg in" We
hate a mean act, let it coue from where
it may. It is gratifying however, to Mr..
Daily's friends, to know that the course
his enemies pursue towards him is max
ing many friends for him.

Backs Down.

Before getting through with one half
the appointments North of the Platte,
Gen. Estabrook flew the track and came
home. His friends inspired him %sufici-
entity to enter the contest again South of
the Platte but be 'let down" at this
place, and concluded it impossible to meet
the appointments any longer, and is now
off on his Gown hook" while the peoples
candidate, Mr.. Daily. is filling regularly
all the appointments, at which it was
agreed the two candidates should meeti in
joint discussion. Jordan is a hard road
to travel"
The General stopped in this place last
night, on his return from below. He ap-
pears to have backed clear off the track.
Better run it through, General; you'll
not be the first defeated candidate.

A Good County for Votes

We hear it minated that Gen. Esta-
brook will get four hundred majoritg in
Hall county-west some 200 miIes-and
the Lord only knows how many in L'Eau
qui court-Ft. Randall! Come, gentle
men, take part of that back. You will
undoubtedly need that many votes from
such outside places but hadn't you better
distribute a little more? Well bet two
or three dollars and a half that there are
not two hundred votes in both those
counties-al told. $50 slow"

that he is, on the stump, Staying General
Estabrook, and making for himself hosts
of friends wherever he goes, are now in
for a new game, and say "Let as break

be that game will win; but wherever it
has been tried thus far, Daily gets the

"The Jack ASS Of LiherfY.D

A correspondent Of the Omaha Repub-
Acan calls Gen. Thayer the "War Horse
of Freedom" and the NebraSkian desig-
mates Mr.. Daily as the "Jack Ass of Lii
berry," Well, so be it. The Wings,
once upon a time it will be recolIected,
when "Log Cabin" and lizard Cider"
were d~erisively used against them, popu-
larized those "ancient and honorable, in
stitutions, and used them as implements
of warfare with which they e~fectually
slew their enemy. Cuvier says of the
family Asinus, of the genus Equus-in
other words the Ass-"is characterize for
its patience, sobriety, hardy constitution,
endurance and the service which it rem
ders the poorT" The Jack Ass is further
characterized by his "long head, ears,
and loud bray" Daily has shown him
self to be "lOng-headed" surely; an ear
sufficiently ~capaCious to catch all hat the
numerous opponents, "howling upon his
track" may say Of, or about him and a
bray of sufficient calibre to most effectu-
ally cope with their combined efforts
against him. He has ever been a "friend
to the poor" and his powers of "endur-
ance," and "hardy constitution" have
successfully "laid upon the shelf" his op-
ponent Gen. EstabrOok, who early in the
canvass cried out "heIp or l sink"
