est personal political victory known 10

Career the same paper says;
Thus he has had eighteen years OF
Senatorial life conferred upon hun, and
six of that 70 Representative, besides
having had halt dozen other Offices,

age. Should he be elected President,
his congressional career will have COW
cred exactly eighteen years, fourteen OF
which will belong to his Senatorial his
tory. 1t is seldom that the life Of any
man presents 80 much success, in 60 short
ii ne, As we find in the twenty-six years
that have passed away since his majority
was completed. AS ageneral thing this
success has not been undcserved it We
look only at the intellectual side Of things,
Mr.. Douglas probably has no intellect
u.l superior among the statesmen and
politicians of the United States. His
speeches and writings are strong, clear,
precise and Logical. He has participated
IN al! the great Congressional debates of
the last seventeen years, not TO speak Of
enormous labors on the stump" and in
conventions and caucuses. Rarely has
it been his lot TO be beaten. He was
more than match for Mr.. Webster in
1850, when that illnstrious man cndcav-
ored to show that the Democracy were
responsible for the..pro-slayery character
OF the Government.

There is no man in the State whom
CIV. Kirkwood rather not meet upon
the stump than lie Grand Byingtou,
Democratic Eiector for the 2nd Con-
OCCASIONAL District. Some two weeks
since kirkwood was challenged BY BY
ington to stump the Southern counties
of the State with him upon equal terms.
That proposition, though fair and equit-
able, was declined by the Governor; he
had rather not make up list Of ap-
pointments with Mr.. Byington; it was
not the Southern part Of the State
he wished to canvass. This put an end
to that matter; but determined not to
be bIuffed off in that manner, Mr.. By
ington gives up the idea of entering up
on a fair arrangement with the Govern
or, and therefore states his willingness.
to accept any terms in order TO get q
lick at him. The following proposition
which Mr.. Byington has made through
the Iowa City Press crowds the Gov
ernor into very close corner, and we
cannot see how he can consistently evade
coming up to the scratch:
To Gov s. j. KIRKw Il regret to
perceive, by your communication in the Re
publican, that you decline to meet me 10 pub
lie discussion In Southern Iowa. on the ground
that your existing aud anticipated engagements
will require your presence in other parts of the
State as we'll.
al-o perceive that you deny to the RApub-
lican party and its Presidential candidate, the
character and purposes which | ascribe to
them, AMI fatter yourself tina. there is no such
thing as Democratic party.
Because Of my desire to contribute wha:
may TO q correct settlement Of this ISSUE BY
the good people of Iowa. l now propose-al.
hough it will subject mo to great inconven-
ie7ce in business sfairs-to accompany you
~hsresoever you may go. and divide with you
the speaking time upon the usual terms. What
say you to thisl Very respectfully,
Your personal friend and neighbor,
LIZ GRAND BYINGToN.
II you accept. please send me list of your
