Iowa.

The result of tie election in the first
Congressional district, is yet in doubt, with
the chances strongly in favor of HALL, Demo-
erat. For the last few days, the opposition
have been claiming the election of CURTIS az
certain, by majority of fifteen hundred
The fact Is, simply, that these majorities are
mostly reported, and are almost universally
too large. The corrected returns reduce
many of them one haif, and in some instances
more than that. For example, in Charlton
County, the majority for HALL has been set
down at rs, when the official report shows il
to be las. Again. Wayne has been put
down for CURTIS, by a majority of 20. The
official report shows that HALL's majority, in
that county is so.
The Keokuk Eve'aing Times, of the 18th
publishes authentic returns from twenty -four
counties, in which the majorities are for HALL
2,759; for CURTIS, 2,564-leaving HALL 195
ahead. In the same counties, two years ago,
the majority against HALL was 3 8. This
shows clear gain, thus far, of five hundred
and ifty-four votes, since 1854, when he wa,
elected by 179 votes. If the reported ma
jorities in the remaining counties are changed
and cut down by the official reports. as they
have been in the twenty-four counties heard
from, CURTIS is beaten by 500 to 1000.
The Fusionists have had their "crow
ever the first district; the Democrats maj
have theirs, by-and-by.

Fremont in California.


BY our California papers, received on Mon
day, we get the first burst of public opinion
in regard to the Presidential nominations
rhe names of Buchanan and Breckinrldge
inspire tho Democracy with the most IN
bounded enthusiasm. Meetings have been
held in all parts of the State, exceeding botn
in numbers aud spirit those of any other Po-
litical campaign that California has ever con-
Quoted. The Democratic papers speak with
the utmost confidence of carrying ;he State
for Buchanan, by an overwhelming majority
Fremont meetings have also been held,
but they were nondescript affairs to winch
no sort of importance seems to have been
attached by any one. The Republican meet
ing in San Francisco was attended, accord
ing to the statement of all the papers in our
California list, by about twenty FIVE hundred
persons, most of whom were attracted by
mere curiosity to see what turn the thing
would take. Up TO the date OF our tiles
not payer in San Francisco had hoisted the
names of Fremont and Dayton, or taken
grounds in favor of their election. The fol-
lowing. from the Sacramento State journal
expresses, without doubt, the real feeling OF
nearly the entire population of California
"The nomination Of John G. Fremont by
the black republicans occasions more amgSe-
ment than serious reflection Ia California me
nomination is esteemed a very shabby affair ;
IL. of ~ nd saw
He will not receive one Of the forty thousand
settler votes in the State, and, indeed, we
greatly question whether he viii be able to carry
a single precinct 1he people OF California
know him, and such prophet is without honor
in his own country"

OF CARRIER, of the Madison Courier, cop
les, with much JUNCTION, the following dirty
paragraph from the Bloomington Republican,
as being the language of Gov WILLARD, at
the Democratic barbecue, at Martinsville:
The burning OF Lawrence, in Kansas, was
right in the sight of Heaven and it would have
been blessing to the country if the free State
men there had been burned with it, and theil
ashes plowed underlll
1t was this same Bloomington Republican
that hatched up the miserable, shabby false
hood that WILLARD had failed, and that his
creditors were after him with sharp sticks
&C., &c. If the Courier thinks to gain credit
by giving currency to the filthy garbage ol
the Bloomington Republican, it may find it
self mistaken. 1t is too small business iol
"white folks to engage in.

ouh's Report from the Southern Part Of the
State

This noted individual, President Of the
State Council of Know Nothings has lust
returned from a political stump speaking
tour in the Southern part of the State to help
the sinking cause of Frec-booiism. Orth
comes back perfectly disgusted with the
Know Nothings Of Southern Indiana. and
says Fremont is no go there. lie attempted
10 make speeches for the COW, woollv horse
AID ManPosa speculation, but every time he
alluded 10 Fremont the sixteen star candi-
date, the people present would drown his
voice in their huzzas Tor Fillmore. He "felt
il in his bones." that his mission was a fruit
less one, and that tie American party Of
Southern Indiana were not yet prepared to
unite themselves with the sectional, disunion
party, of which he is one of the leaders, who
are prepared, for the sake Of the spoils Of Of
fee, 20 array the country not only into sec
tional parties, but into contending fragments.
9th gives it as bis opinion tha. unless the
colored Republican candidate for Governor.
o. P. Morton. gets 10 600 majority over Will
lard, the State will go for Buchanan. Now
as there is not the slightest probability that
the Democratic State ticket will be defeated.
but every probability that it will be elected
by a large majority, according to 0rth's view
of the case, the majority for Buchanan will
be 81 large that it will not be known that he
had any opposition.
lIurrah for Buchanan Hurrah for Breck-
ipridge! Hnrrah for everybody, and hurrah
for Our sidel Orth & Co. having confessed a
Judgment of the people against them, the
great court Of popular tentiment viii enter q
decree against them accordingly.-Lefaystte

Consistent

10 all the appropriation bills passed by
the Senate and sent TO the House Of Rep-esen-
tstises, the Black Republicans in The latter
body, attached some of their Kansas riders.
This was done to the bin providing for their
over pay as members From all those bills
except the Army Appropriation Bill, the
House withdrew their obnoxious amend
menfs, and allowed them to pass.
Ii these legislative Jacobins desired 20
prove the purity Oftheir motives, and the dis
interestedness of their patriotism, why did
they not make the bill providing for their
own pay the subject Of their revolutionary
experiment instead Of that which furnishes
the soldier with his coat, blanket and shirts,
aud his daily rstiOns of bread, pork and beef?
They sbacked down" in hot haste when
they saw their own eight dollars day in dan
ger, but stood up with most noble Black
Republican bravery against providing the
humble "privste, 4" in the service of his coun-
try. with the means of shielding himself
from nakedness and hunger. A noble set Of
Romans, truly, to go before the people, and
ask them 10 indorse their conduct at the
polls
