We gather from our exchanges the
following items in regard to the Con-
gressionaI Canvass, in the Northern por-
ton of the Territory.
A letter from Fl. Calhoun, of Sept. 9TH,
says:
"Our gallant leader S. G. Daily has
this afternoon achieved a glorious victory
over Gen. Estabrook, cOnmander-ln-chIet
of the Democratic forces In this Terri
tory. The meeting was composed Of a
large and respectable gathering of the
citizens Of this county, who met by the
appointment of Mr.. Daily, to which Mr..
Estabrook was invited with the privilege
Of replying. The General, like many
other generals before him, evidently under
estimated the strength Of his antagonist,
but before Mr. Daily had closed his open
ing remarks, it was evident to all, the
Gen. regretted having heard of this ap-
pointment; and he certainly is not a pru-
dent Gen. if he does not keep Out Of the
range of his antagonists batteries during
the remainder Of the campaign.
MI. Daily has, in this debate, sustain
ed himself nobly. His admirable tact in
debate, and inexhaustible knowledge Of
the politics of our country, and especially
of the delinquencies Of the democratic
party, enables him to pour broadsides into
his antagonist with telling effect"
TEKAMA, Sept. 9th.-"A discussion
took place here this afternoon between
Gen, Estabrook and Mr.. Daily. Nearly
every voter in the precinct was present.
The Daily men are firm and hopeful"
FLORENCE, Sept. 9lh.-"The school
house in DeSoto was well filled yesterday
P. NJ, to listen 10 the discussion between
Mr.. Daily and Gen. Estabrook. The
Gen. had the first half hour in which he
made sundry stale charges of abolitiOnism
against the Republican arty. lie then
proceeded to show a clean democratic re-
cord from the time of Washington's ad-
ministration to that Of Buchanan's. He
touched carefully upon Pierce and old
Buck, they being so immaculate as to need
none of his praise. The Gen. did we'll
in dividing the live issues-thoSe In which
the country and the world are interested,
from those in which the democratic party
are interested. The Gen. closed without
the least manifestation Of enthusiasm by
the audience, and Mr.. Daily then pro-
ceeded in strong and forcible language to
exhibit the modern democratic party In
contrast with the one of former days, and
as he portrayed the corruption, the cleo
ton frauds, the sale of the party-body
and soul-to the slave power, the audience
could no longer keep quite, but give their
approval in repeated cheers-and so thro'
the whole discussion the people of DeSoto
gave unmistakable evidence that they are
for freedom. The charges Of abolition
ism and ~sectionalism made against Nh.
Daily fell harmless and the more people
become acquainted with him the more
they feel that he is a power; and
the generals %affinities with the President
and cabinet Will not save him from defeat
in October as he is Daily becoming better
assured. The people north and south of
the Platte Will not swallow modern de-
moCraCy."
FREMONT, Sept. lO.-"The claims of
Mr.. Daily were brought before the people,
to which they all gave one general huzza
and response, by saying 1--WE intend to
hear of Mr.. Daily being seen Daily at
Washington during the next session of
Congress"
Fontenelle was indeed a grand affair,
and all seemed elated with the belief that
Mr.. Daily would be their next Repre-
sentative"

"PoScA, Dixon Co., Sept. 16th.-A
large number of the citizens of this county
turned out to hear Mr.. Daily, our candi-
date for Congtess. He spoke eloquentIy

James, of Dakota county,"
"DECATUR, Burt Co., Sept. 19.-Our
