THE PROSPECT IN IOWA.

The late rally of the democracy in Iowa has been
attended in several districts of that State with the
most complete success. We have been kindly fur
nished with the following despatch for publications
DuBuorE, dowa) April ID, 1857.
The democratic majority for Judge Wilson in the Cd
judicial district is 1861 He carried every county but
one. j. b. DORR,
Editor Herald and Express.
T. F. WILSON, esq, Washington city
This district gave majority of one for Fremont
over Buchanan, and gave Fillmore sos votes. Here
is clear democratic gain since the presidential cleo
ton of nearly tro thousand roes We wait patiently for
such explanations IA the black,rcpublcan press may
have to offer in reference TO this emphatic response
TO the Presidents Inaugural and the late decision in
the bred Scott case.

CHANGING THE PERFORMANCE.

We learn from the Democrat published at Man
chester New Hampshire, that the church in that
city which has been occupied by the Second Baptist
Society is to be converted into theatre, where
+" Uncle Toms Cabin Dred,' and other fanacal
burlesques of the drama, can be performed. The
Democrat says:
'The society alluded TO had occupied the house for
several years and have heard that il in pros
porous condition. with fair prospect of becoming sole
propretors and posscssors of the premises in question
What is the matter Have they fallen victims like many
other societies to their zeal for freedom Their pastor
we know, wanted the Union dissolved last year, and
signed petition to that effect and think il not I'M
likely that they have given much time and attention
to the affairs Kansas that ther have suffered from
neglect.
''Under the present order of things more churches
will be turned into theatres and, sincerely as
deprecate the demoalizng influence OF groveing and
hcentious drama must still say that reasonable
pulpit is great deal worsc. SO IL may not be much
of 'retrogression, after all. I"

STILL ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC TRIUMPH

The Albany Atlas and Argus thus announces the
result of the municipal election held in that city on
Tuesday last:
"Ihe democrats of Albany have achieved most bril-
liant victory. They have routed the opposition where
they appeared in detail in coalition They have
carried their city ticket by nearly 5000 majority over
the republicans, and by nearly 1000 the Ameri-
cans They have elected seven of the ten aldermen and
the same proportion of the supervisors We lose the
Second ward by division, and the Fifth by coalition
of our opponents and in the Sixth the Americans sue
coed by majority of s.
"The democrats Of the wards have done nobly They
had day OF great Encouragement to labor under-a
our opponents may say, it is the majority that suffer
public confidence with the democratic party: and the
larger the vote, the greater would be its majority
We congratulate the democracy of the State on this
result Our democratic friends everywhere boasting
OF victories; but we have reason to be proud of
hbuton to the aggregate of success and tho democrats
of Albany demand place in the victorious column of
the democracy that shall be second to none Look at
the figures and tell us who shall take precedence Of them
1.-The black republicans made great efforts. They in
vted coalitions with the Americans where practical they
called an extraordinary meeting at the Capitol at which
ex-Lieutenan Governor Patterson, of Chautauouc prc.
sided, and Gen. Nye Gcnt Smith, H. b. Stanton. and
Mnthorne Tompkns, spoke upon reviewed and by sol
resolution reversed the decision of the United States
Supreme Court. The legislative committee Illuminated
an eeconeerng report against the democracy present
ing the same issue In return for all this the black re-
publcans have encountered the most disastrous defeat
that befe party They swept from the record

The PRE-EMlSEScE OF WoMES-Even
after death, nature respects her inherent
modestY, for drowned woman floats on her
face, and drowned man flouts on his back.
The noblest part OF human being is the
head; but the mans head is liable to bald
ness; woman is never bald. The mans
face is often made so by most odious beard,
and SO covered with sordd hair that it is
scarcely to be distinguished from the face
of the wild beast in woman, on the other
hand, the face always remains pure and de-
cent.
For this reason women were, by the laws
of the twelve tables, forbidden to rub their
cheeks, lest hair should grow and obscure
their blushing modesty. But the most evil
dent proof Of the innate purity of the fe-
male sexis, that woman having once washed
is clean, and if she wash in second water,
will not soil it; but that a man is never
clean; though he should wash in ten success
sive waters, ne will cloud and infect them
all.-LJe of Agrfppa.
