IOWA ELEcTIoN-LArEsr AND BEST.

IOWA ELECTION-LATEsT AND BEST. q
Forty.seven counties have been heard from,
which give the Republicans q majority of 66l2
1t is thought the State may be safely set down at
5000 majority for the g Niger Worshippers."-
Twenty-one counties are yet to be heard FROM
In the First District, Curtiss had 2932-Hall,
(Dem.,) 1872. Curtiss has majority of 1902,
being Republican gain of ll72 in that District.
In the Second District, Davis, (Rep.,) has 634l--
Letter, (Dem.,) 1889 giving Davis majority Of
$3.50. The counties to be heard from will no
doubt swell the majority for Davis. The State
officers have been carried by the Republicans,
and report says, three-fourths of the Legislature.
Good enough for Iowa--the intelligent people Of
that State have placed their feet upon Slavery,
and clearly demonstrated that they will not SUBJ
init to its further extension. ~

FREMONT.

The Editor of the St. Anthony Republican has
been East for week or so, and has just returned.
Hear what he says about political matters:
few weeks ago, friend arrived in St. Antho-
ny from the East "What's the news?' we ask
ed. The broad reply was, ssFREMONTp' And
SO we have found it. ALI along the road, in al
most every car, steamer, hotel, knots of men at
talk, the word is Fremont! FREMONT! FIRE.
MONTH! There is once in while man who
gets tired and mad at hearing it. But it huns
and roars, and sometimes shouts and sings--"Fre-
mont and Freedom" We surely can't tell what
it all means. Maybe it is the Buchanan men
springing trap. Maybe it is the Know Nothings
crying Fremont, the more completely to surprise
US by rolling up tremendous majorities for Fill
moe. but whatever it means, there's the fact
FREMONT! Like hot cakes do the purchasers
grasp the various editions of the life of Fremont.
Like cold potatoes sells the life of James Buchan-
an. Rousing, crowded and electric are the Free
mont meetings. Dull, thin and spiritless, are
most of the gatherings Of Buchanan's men. In
deed in many places, they have no heart to try
There are scores Of towns in which, to all appear
anee, Buchanan will hardy muster supporters
enough to make q row. How it will turn out
election day, is another matter. We only speak
of what we have seen and heard, and are every
day reading in the papers. ss'
In New York, the leaders of the Hards and
Softs have suspended their quarrel, and united
on the Cincinnati platform, but tho rank and file
are falling of. In Chemung County, once their
stronghold, majority of the Democrats are
counted sure for Fremont. Nearly four hundred
Of them signed call for meeting to appoin,
delegates to State Convention of Boilers, a,
which State Convention, there was an unqualified
endorsement of Fremont. A gentleman not a
politician who has recently been in every county
in that State, assures us that it is every where
about the same. So i
| In Pennsylvania, there is ground for doubt, bui
more for hope. Many Democrats are going over
to the Republicans, and there will be no splitting
of tickets on account of North Americanism.-.
The Fillmore men will do their worst; but they
| will be likely to draw quite as largely from Blu.
ehanan as from Fremont.
Michigan and Northern Illinois are not only
right but so nearly unanimously so that they car
afford to lay out all their efforts on foreign parts
They need not hold any meetings at home, bu,
they will, and big meetings too,-it feels so good
If Fremont is nos elected, we shall have learned
new lesson about trusting appearances. OF
course, we expect heavier opposing force, thar

Mr.. De La vergne to the Editor Of the Times.

mr.. De La Vergnc to the Editor Of the Times.
Some days ago, the TINES announced that
Hon. A. F. De La Vergne. of LIE Seuer County,
was Republican. We had the pleasure Of
meeting this gentlemen few days ago, and he
requested US to inform Mr.. Newson that the as
sertion was incorrect; and, furthermore, that he
Mr.. De La Vergne) had voted for every Demo-
crat from jackson down to Pierce, inclusive; and
that, God willing, ballot-box convenient and
all things fitting, he would by one vote, help
swell Buck and Backs majority in November
next.
If this is not sufficiently explicit, the TINES ed
tor will have to apply personally to Mr.. DE La
Vergne.-P,oneer.
a. We think that unnecessary. We will on
ly copy Note which Mr.. De La Vergne sent to
US last Winter and which was published in the
TINES of January Is. In that Note Mr.. De La
vergne said -
"Although am FREE SOILER-oPPosED
TO THE EXTENSION OF SLAVERY IN EVERY FORM, AND
BELIEVE 1T THE DUTY OF CONGRESS TO PROHIBIT THE
INTRODUCTION OF 1T INTO TERRITORIES BY LAW,
see nothing in that report that would cause one to
vote against it.''
Again he says -" All the States and Terrific
ries should have q fundamental law and this law
hold should prohibit the introduction of Slavery
into the Territories"
Perhaps we were mistaken in saying that Mr..
De La Vergne is Republican, but if the above
is not Republican doctrine then we know not
what is. In the coming Campaign it behooves
the Republicans of LIE Seuer County to look we'll
to it that wolves do not creep into sleeps cloth
ing and thereby obtain Offices of trust and emolu-
ment they do not deserve. "A FREE SOlLER

ESCAPE OF SLAvEs-CAPruRE AND REscUE.-The
Madison Courier of Monday says:
"One day last week two slaves belonging to a
Kentuckian residing about thirty-fve miles below
here, ran away, and by the aid of the underground
railway, succeeded in getting to Dupont, fourteen
miles north of here. A few miles from there.
while on their journey northward, under the guild
ance Of three conductors, they were captured by
a party of seven men from Dupont, and the train
upon which they were travelling reversed, and the
faces Of the fugitives once more turned toward
thraldom. No time was to be lost by the railroad
officials. A hasty council was held, recruits
gathered up, and the slaves recaptured, and are
now probably in their long looked and wished for
haven-one of Her Royal Majesty's provinces.
The owner of the slaves, with four or FIVE Ken
tuckians, arrived at Dupont little too late !!
They swore terribly, but it availed nothing.
