Correspondence of The N Y. Tribune.
BURLINGTON, Iowa, Wednesday, Aug. g. 1856.
Before this letter reaches you, you will have heard
enough of the result Of the election Monday last to
IL dicste what Iowa has ju;. done for the cause Of
Ere ed m We have heard from sms number OF
Counties In sll Of them thus far the most sanguine
expec Citations of true hearted Republicans have
been mare than realized. Taey all show large in-
crease above the ma oIltes given to Gov Grimes, two
years since when he WAS elected by nearly $500 ma
rty II the rect of the State should show the same
swelling tide of Republicansn the majority, instead
OF being about the same it was then, will ruD up to
some figure between 5000 and 10, 600.
In nv Judgment, the vote | anticipated when
wrote YOU on the odd ult ought to satisfy our friends
that there is tremendous ground swell in favor the
cause Of Fremont and FREsDoN. There has BEEN
with the exception of few special localities but little
caIvassing done our part The time was TOO biief
to permit thorough organization There were many
elements of discor1 openly and secretly working
against us. We required harmonious action, but en-
tine harmony, in 70 short an interval was not attsina
BILE Against the active and unceasng efforts OF the
BUCCANEERS their. ayish expenditure OF money their
always read, and thorough party drill we brought 10
bear but dirided forces and the ofthe TRUE and
the RIGHT. These have wrought triumph as De-
he,e ard most glorious one But 1t was accom-
pshed not by exeltiOns, but through the naive
vigor Of the cause.
In this County (Des Msines), which gave los major
ity against Gov. Grimea our opponents notwithsand
ing their utn est exertOns, were badly beaten But
hire they were met by activity and effort equal TO
their own; and bad it aot been for certain uofortu'
nate Misunderstanding among portion OF those VINO
in principle certainly with US, our majority instead
of being q meager hundred, would have been TWO
or three times that number. The Buccaneers conii'
6erty counted majority OF about three hundred.
You can Judge how "qure chop-fallen' they look
when the majority turns out 10 be against them
The fact is our "BOrder Rufian' advocates en-
deavored on Saturday night before the election to in-
aupurate the Code of Kansas in midst. Hon.

backness of their hearts, and the desperate and

the Republicans avoided any actual violence. ANA
though violence was openly committed by the Pro-
Sayery speakers on Saturday night, on Monday,

of pubic quiet occurred Unusual precautions were
