Letter from senator crimes.

The following letter from Hon. James W.
Grimes to the German Republicans Of Du-
buque, Scott and Des Meines counties, 10 in
reply TO one addressed BY them to the Iowa
Congressional delegation:
GINTLEHEE 81 have just had placed inmy
hands copy OF your letter to the Congress
sional Delegation from Iowa, ia which you
proposed to them the following inquiries,
viz:
LIST. Are you in favor of the naturalization
laws as they now stand, and particularly
against ell and. every extension Of the proba-
ton?
%. Do you regard it duty Of the Repub-
lican party, as the party Of equal rights, to
oppose and war upon each and every discrim-
ination that may be attempted to be made
between the native born and adopted citizens
as to the right of suffrage2
Sd. Do you condemn the late action OF the
Republicans in tho Massaoh Legislature
for attempting to exclude the adopted citi-
zens for two years from the ballot-box, as
unwise, unjust and uncalled for?
TO each OF these interrogations respond
INCREASINGLY in the Affirmative.
In regard to the recent action Of the Mas
saohusetts Legislature, in relation to the right
of suffrage, / have this to say, that, while /
admit that the regulation sought to be adopt
ed is purely Of local character, with which
we Of Iowa have nothing whatever dirAtyto
do, and whilst would be one Of the laSt men
in the world to interfere in the local affairs
Of sovereign State upon local matters, yet
claim the right to approve or condemn, Is
my judgment may indicate, such State or
party actions, when in my conviction it is
based upon false and dangerous principle.
believe the action Of the Massach usetts Leg.
islature alluded to, to be based upon such
principle and to be fraught with evil and only
evil continually to the whole country and not
to Massachusetts alone. Hence / condemn
and deplora it without equivocasion or re-
serve.
Knowing how much the adoption of the
proposed constitutional provision will offend
their brethren elsewhere, the Republicans Of
Massachusetts owe it to their party that this
amendment should be over whelmingly voted
down, and think it will be.
am, very truly,
Your ob't servant.

GTThe Opposition in Kentucky, under
the lead Of Bell, their candidate for Gov
ernor, and Prentice, of the Journal, are
fierce in their advocacy Of Slave Code for
the Territories.
Prentice, some time since, proposed q
union of the Opposition in the next Presi-
Dental canvass. But notwithstanding the
strong probabilities that the Republicans
would bring into the partnership q majority
in all the free States Of this Union, and bis
party to the Arm are not likely to carry more
than two or three slave States at the utmost,
he insists that the Republicans should aban-
don their platform and ignore their leaders
as condition Of the union. Il seems now
that his modssty would, in addition, have re-
quired US TO adopt Slave Code platform
and supported one Of its champions for
President.
The Republican platform is good enough
for US, and the Republican leaders are such
IS We delight to honor, and We doubt not
that under their championship We shall
achieve glorious victory over the Admins

The Journal quotes from the New York
Times number Of cases Of palpable disre-
gard Of law by juries, in order to prove that
the acquittal Of Sickles was in accordance
with the law Of the land. We submit that
the fact that juries disregard the law in
their verdicts under special circumstances
does not repeal the statute against murder.
The Legislature is the constitutional author
ity in this land to which the people have com-
mitted the business of making laws-not .
petit jury-and no number Of precedents Of
acquittal by juries can make that law, which
is palpably in violation OF the criminal stat
utes Of the country.
Let the Legislature punish adultery by
statutory enactment, or else provide that the
adulterer and seducer are outlaws, and that
they may be killed with impunity by any one
who feels aggrieved. That is simply the
principle acted upon by the juries in the
cases referred to. II ii be a correct prin-
ciple let us have it in the form Of statute,
that it may operate impartially upon oil "a
ses alike. We shall thereby prevent great
deal Of perjury on the part Of juries, and
save great deal Of time and expense in tri-
ais for murder, where, according to the prin-
ciple, no murder was committed, but rather
heroic act of noble revenge.
