Gentlemen:-The political con-
test 10 becoming pretty warm in these parts, and
viii ere long raise 10 . fever heat in the states
Mr.. Fis. Henry Warren, late Of your State, is
now in Massachusetts, aud is laboring assid.
unusly in the cause of Scott and Seward. MIR
Warren, while in the Post Office Department
in this city, devoted much Of his time to The
same purpose. SO much so, that the President
requested him to devote his whole tire to the
same service, by retiring from his position in
the Department know it has been said that
MIR. Warren resigned his position, but, that re
sgration it was minated to him would b.
quite acceptable, and hence, this merit OF !
compelled necessity on his part. Mr.. Warren
will labor in his vocation most indus.riously TO
the success Of the Wing native abolition Sew
ard nominee, and Gen Scott has no more nc
d.rr partizan in his favor than Mr.. Warren il
known to be. He is one Of those men, TINT is
known to stop at no difficulty TO carry out his
purpose. We have abundant evidence in south
eIn Iowa, Of his xports in that line that there
is NO hating in him, when money is to be ex
pended in preventing the elective franchise. =
The people Of Iowa, must give whiggery a
vote this fall. tha. will forever silence them in
your young and noble State.
Indeed, l do not see how it can be otherwise,
when you look at The developed principles ofthe
Wing nominee, On one solitary question, and
that il his expressed and determined opposition
,lx,h haze n,d
obtained resting place and home, in this land
oflberty,-free from the task masters Of the
old world. But Gen. Scott, is trying to sneak
GU, of his position in 1a4l, and publishes let
ter in %, denying that he is now inim,cal to the
foreign citizen, and says he would make them
an eitizeas aor, if they will abandon their
ploughs aud their trades. and serve in the army
or navy for one year. This hitter bid has. been
made since he received the nomination as the
Seward Candidate for the Presidency at Ealti.

In December 1874 Gen Scott drafted Bill
for The action ~ Congress. But the members
thought differently from him and his views were
not acted upon. He penned long article at
tionai fafeiiiseneer Of this city, Dec nth 1874,
in which mnst be permitted to make short
reference for the consideration Of the industrious
class of foreigners, which have contributed 50
much 10 advance the prosperity ofIowa Gen
Scott lays down his views on naturalization as
fellows:
al. To reduce the term Of naturalization from
Ave years to three years.
