The Iowa City correspondent OF the
Chicago Dem. Press, thus speaks Of oss
worthy Governor
With the return Of the Legislature, I no
tice the return OF His Excslisncy Gov.
Grimes. He 10 man Of whom lows may
well be proud, for in him she has model
Governor He came te the Stats some
twenty years ago, during its early territori-
al existence. when the tide Of civilisatioD
was frs, setting over the great Father Of
Waters IN this diseciion, and settled In Bur-
lington, where he commenced the practice
OF the law, In which he soon guinsd an en-.
viable reputation. His great frankness
and eantoy, and the force with which he
arspPled the great principle on which our
system Of jurisprudsnce il fousded, gave
him great weight with juriss, with whom
ne was enainently successful. These traits
have hiso gained him much favor % poll
tician. A. In his profession he disdainsd
to hang upon the pin hooks and gribbIes OF
the law, 60. as politician, be reornsd all
the willy tricks and designing scheme. Of
the demsgogue.
In the Legislative session Of 1859 and
'5s he represented his county 10 the popular
branch of the General Assembly, and In
the spring OF "a was nominated 70. Gov.
ernor. Heretofore, Iowa has been eonsd.
cred one Of The impregnable fortrerses Of
Democracy, one that has withstood all a.
ssulte, and ons that could not be beaten.-
With this ides psrvading nearly oil classes,
Gov. Grimes took the stump, iravsrsed
nearly the whole Slate, and st the hustinRs
laid 90 bare the deformi,iss Of the Shan
Democracy, that he struck terror into his
foes, and finally vsnquished them. His
majority ., the election was over two thou.
sand, while the aggregate majority on the
Congressional ticket WAS less thsn fifteen
hundred. To no ons person 10 Iowa more
indebted for the proud position shs occupies
in the Republican rs nks, and IN the sister,
hood OF States, than 70 him, and il 10 q
debt, which she will not forget to pay
The vigilance with which she has guarded
the best interests Of the State will be en-
example which bis SUCCESSORS may well
