! One of the most satisfactory results o
the late election in this State is an Eman
cipation Legislature--the Senate being 81
by nearly or quite two-thirds, while thu
House has good working majority-sa,
seventy-fve or eighty of the whole mum
Der. This is all sufficient for the interests
of the State, and the promotion Of Eman
| cipation.
We have made careful examination O
the returns thus far received from ,ht
whole State, and find that the senatorial
districts will be represented very ncarl,
rs follows. Some sligi,s va,is'i,ns from
this table may be discovered when the
official returns shall be received. Blu,
this may be set down as substantially
correct. Subsequent reports are likely tc
be quite as much in favor of as against
the Emancipation cause:

The above result in our neighbor State,
Missouri, is source of qualification in no
State more than Iowa. While we con
fdently look for the emancipation Of
slaves over the whole land by choice of
the States or as military necessity, we
greatly prefer to see this glorious object
accomplished by the voluntary action of
the people Of the Statrs, as they thereby
save the effusion Of blood consequent up
on violent changes, have the satisfaction
of making their own reforms in the true
spirit of freedom, and demonstrate to the
world that they can keep even pace with
the march of events, destined under the
providence of God to make us a homo
geneous as we have been united PEG.
