The result Of the election in Iowa is now

handsome majority in both branches of
the Legislature, and both members of Con-

promise, elections have taken place in the

one of these States voted for President Pierce,
and now every one repudiatcs his admnistra-
ton. Indeed the free State which endorses

Fire,

Last evening about s o'clock, an old barn
in the rear of Leavenworths Block, and be-
longing to the Leavenworth estate, was dis
covered to be on fire. II contained some half
ton Of hay, and the whole almost instant
aneously burst into flame which lit up the
whole town, and brought the citizens in
crowds to the spot. The adjoining buildings
were of course in imminent danger. The
lumber shed Of Mcssrs. RoBY stood scorch-
ing, but was saved by active cxertions with
buckets OF water. The stores occupied by
Messrs. W. II. RooT q Co., n. PECK, Jr. d., and
CHAUNCEr GOoDRlon, owed their safety to tin
ned shutters and constant watchiulncss. The
brick building, formerly MARkuAs's black.
smith shop, took fire in the roof, and bid fan
to 60, when a stream orwatcr from the Boxer
engine, supplied from the reservoir behinC
the Court House, was brought to bear, ant
made short work Of the flames. wherever thcy
Ladder Co. were brought into service in con
veying men and water to the roofs of the stores
and of "MERRlTr's Building" which wcr
covered with cindcrs, and took fire more thai
once. The value both of our Fire Com
panics and of the Hook & Ladder Company
were very satisfactorily demonstrated.
The barn destroyed was of little value, an

small With everything as dry as powder
water scarce, and the amount of combustibl
matter at hand, in the shape of carpcntc
and..cabinet shops, and the old shells Of "Skir

The Firmness of the Democracy.

We have yet to bc informed of the first
State in which the Democracy have united
with the Frcesoilcrs and Abolitionists.- -
Everywhere have they stood upon their old
ground. Nowhere have they demanded the
restoration of the Missouri rcstriction--no-
whore have they demanded the repeal of the
Fugitive Slave Law-nowhcrc have they de-
mandcd the acquisition Of Slave territory or
the admission of Slave States. Individual
Democrats in the North have yielded to tho
pressure; but the party has stood firm. and
they have been driven from the organiza ton.
and forced to take refuge in the camp of the
enemy.
The above is from the Washington Sent-
mel, a leading Administration journal. The
Democracy, it tells us, nowhrc unite with
Frce-solers, nowh,ro demand the restoration
of the broken Missouri compact, or tho re-
peal ofthc Fugitive Slave Law, and they dr,re
from thar organisation all who do. And
yet in this County and elsewhere, this same
Democracy expects Free Democrats to vote
for its nominees. How many will do it

BURLINGTON il to have a Custom House -
Owing chiefly to the vigilance and efforts of
Senator Footc, an appropriation of $4,000
was made by the last Congress for the con-

building highly ornamental to that bcauti-
full village. We suggest that this building
should be constructed of the great staple
