Letter from Nlr. Van dever.

Since the republication of the Letter written
by Hon WIN. VANDEvER in the Canvass last
year. he has received a copy of the circular ad
dressed to the remaining portion OF the Con-
gressional delegation, and responds to it as
follows:
GrNTLkMEN: I have to day received the
communication OF you, selves and others, re-
questii an early answer to the following ques-
lions:
lst Are you in favor of the naturalization
laws Us they now stand, and particularly against
all and every extension Of the probation time
I'd. Do you regard it duty OF the Republi-
| can party as the party OF equal rights to oppose
and war upon each and every discrimination
| that may be attempted to be made between the
native born and adopted citizens as to the right
OF suffrage?
3D. Do you condemn the late action of the
Republicans in the Massachusetts Legislature
| Tor attempting TO exclude adorted ciuzens for
two wears from the ballot box as unwise, unjust
and uncalled for!
| In reply to the foregoing have to cay
LIST. am SO far in favor Of the existing
naturalization laws, as to desire no change III
the length OF residence they require Of persons
| Of .oreign birth, to quality for citizenship, and
would certainly oppose to the best of my
ability, any attempt 10 extend the period o.
probation.
I'd. The Republican party, as the party o
equal rights, should undoubtedly oppose ant
war upon each aud every attempt that ina,
b. made to discriminate between native borl
and adopted citizens as to the right OF suf
trage.
Sd. Entertaining views expressed above, an
while | recognize the right OF every State 4
regulate il, own internal policy, free from in
terierence from without, l cannot but deplor
the late action in Massachusetts, whereby ad
opted citizens are excluded from voting Tor ~
years after naturalization. l would therefore
should the question arise in Iowa, oppose I'll
introduction Of such policy into our Stat
legislation.
In this connection. it may not be out OF plac
to refer to my letter written during the canvas
last summerstn response to nterrcga.ories OF
imilar character, addressed me by portion
our German fellow citizens, the sentlmates
which l reiterate.
With great respect,
Your obedieDt servant,

The STATE TlcKEr-The Jackson County
Journal has article upon the subject OF the
approaching Republican nominations for State
officers. 1t says:
We can see no improperly in urging the
claims Of Messrs. KlRKwooD and HAMILTON
upon the Convention, and in pledging to them,
| in case Of their nomination, the earnest and
hearty support Of the wide.awake Republicans
| Of old Jackson.
| We firmly believe that there is no man in the
State more favorably kno~n, and certainly no
one Of whom the unwashed Democracy have Z
greater dread. than Mr.. KlRKwooD. Asa law
yer, he has but few equals, and as . Legislator
and MAN, We can point to him with glow o
honest pride, aud defy our opponents TO poin
out solitary spot Of biemish 10 his character
There he stands, look at him!
OF WILLIAM w. HAMILTON we can salel,
speak in terms OF the highest praise and admi
ration. His name il OF itself a host, and hi
nomination would be hailed with g.adness b,
the entire Rrpniican party Of the Safe, and y
an nnmis,akablc omen Of success. No man ha
done better service in the Republican cause, an
no one, we venture TO Afiirm, il better quaisfe
to discharge the complicated and difficult dn,e
appertaining 10 the post Of President Of th
Stale Senate. Uniting with these qualities thos
Of = thoroughbred gentleman and an ~
complished scholar, his name will add strengt
to our ticket, and secure tor II the respect,
not the support Of even our political opponent

az William w. Boyce, a member Of Con-

South. He predicts that the sectonalized
North will soon take possession of the Cove, n

distracted on the slave trade issue, so that it
viii not be ready to meet the crisis it should.
He says that either Congress or the Territorial
Legislatures must protect slavery in the Terrific

President, the South should not remain mo-
ment longer in the Union.
