mittees, who are banded together for
personal aggrsndisment, and to write
each other into Office. Grimes is un-

own eulogy and will discus eachs para
graph separately.
"Gov. Grimes is progressive man"
Yes he is 80 progressive, that he be-
lieves that negroes are better than
white men ; that the Government OF
the Uuited States is an old Fogy, and
that Jim Grimes is just the man TO EN-
ulate Jim Lane and march mob into
Kansas, to cut the throats Of all who
| oppose Free State rebels and nullifers.
He believes that there is "Law
higher than the Constitution which
governs the public domain" and that
Shapes rifles are the executors Of the
law. He is so progressive that in VIC
lstion of the Constitution Of Iowa
which permits State debt not to ex-
coed 100000, he created an indebted
meas Of $4,000, when the money was
not needed for State uses. He IS so
progressive, that failing in his schemes
Of speculation in the school lands Of
the State, he turns like an Ishmaelite
upon those who prevent the robbery
"He so genuine phildmthromsf /;
hence his sympathy for The oppressed,
(mqyers Of Course } his Republican,
ism, de-"
He is agenuine niger philanthro'
pist. lie don't believe in any such
thing as the inequality Of the races
He is therefore an Abolisionist Of the
most radical school. He dreams Of
niggers, and Identifies all the progress
sive movements of the day with the one
all absorbing subject Of negro insurcc
ton, and emancipation. His philan'
thropy, therefore takes the shape OF
Republicanism. In his phianthropic
mind, he encourages the philanthro
pict movement Of negro insurrection
at the South in which 100000 Of
blacks shall slaughter 100000 OF
whites, all for the good Of Republican
ism.
"And the Mmkening beams of rhich
illuminate the path before HIM.
| Here the secret Of all his bogus phil
anthropy oozes out. 1t is the path
before him" which he yearns to stride
over, and ascend to the seat Of Hon.
IG. w. Jones. This is the ambition OF
his mind. He is one of the most sub
tie adroit INSCRIPTIONS, and unpatriot'
ic men in the State of Iowa. To gam
his own ends, he will sacrifise friends,
embrace enemies, perform acts of low
petty meanness that the lowest beggar
would scorn and such is his all absorb.
ing thirst for office and for plumber,
that no means however base, no bar
gains however treacherous, are left un
tried. The state is disgraced by his
ignorance and his treason. His attitude
on the Kansas question his base en-
couragement Of the Topeka nulliticrs :;
his aid to Jim Lane; and his letter to
President Pierce, all point him out to
be man devoid Of patriotism Of dig
nifty, Of manllness, and yet the Times
permits him to sound his own trumpet
through its editorial columns.
