well the reproach OF The State as u was
the offspring Of fanaticism when kne"
no law aud ignored all Constitutions o'
legations, OF both the State and reue'a'
Government. ~
Since the election OF James W
Grimes to the Senate OF the United o'ates'
aft he had sworn again to support 'ns
Federal Constitution, and was elevated
T. position 10 which the people look
ed up to for truth; this SINE oena.o''
leaving his high position, descchaeu ~
a State canvass, IN which he embc'ish-
ed his determinations with SANDER against
every living Statesman OF the Dcn,c'
! cratic party, and fortified his own poi'"-
cal position by written talsehoods sur
tep,itioasly sustained.
The extravaganza, usury, cofruP''o''
pee ulation aud deception which mas
been practiced in the building OF the
Insane Hospital at Mount Pleasant, hao
called down the condemnation OF tue
whole people, without distraction OF par
ty. To subservc present monchtary
purpose, this Senator Grimes procured
| cert .ticatc, connivec at its contents, ana
cave circulation to it, which stated that
s25 900 would complete that building
tor the reception Of inmates and poV.
K,rkwood read that certificate IL the
campaign rs the defence OF the Repub-
lcan party aga nst the charges Of extra
vagance, MADE 10y ,hepeople OF the state.
The people believed the statement be-
cause it came from sworn representa-
i've of the State in the General Govern
nent. But scarcely four months have
transpi,ed frola the time that this false
certificate was sent out to the people ur-
on its errand Of dec pt'on, until tins
>ame Republican party, under the same
leaders, demand OF the sworn members
of the State Legislature an appropr'a-
ton OF 100000, to assist in the com
p.etlon of the Lunatic Asylum.
For glaring, bold, pol t,col v'lliany,
this transaction stands without paral ii
IN the history of the wo'ld-s.ncc An
anas and SApph'ra were struck dead
Tor |, ing to the apostles. Nor does 1t
mend the matter, or make it better that
a hilellng ovciseer was OF a iactotum to
do the mechanical part Of this certh
cate, or become the ostcnsbIe party to
a great fraud prac,iced upon the people,
The people are not therefore deceived
Three things they do know: F"s', that
James w. Crimes sent the certificate to
the county and made the impression up
ON the pubic md that S25 900 would
complete that building second, the PEG
pie know that Samuel }. klrkwood
read the ce titicate as campaign doc,-
ment, and made the impression upon
tie voters OF the State, as far as was
in his power, in seeking his present pos
itron that $4,000 would complete The
work on that building. The peopI.
know very well, too, that this same Sam
ueI J. X rkwoo:, Governor Of the State
Of Iowa, signed an appropriation bill fol
several times that amount for the pur
pose OF assisting to complete that same
building tat be tried to persuade the
pc. pie would only cost $4,000 more
Should these men try 10 shit the re
>ponsibhly on the man who signed the
certificate, doing their bidding Ia a
things: The people as well know ths
this same man still continued in thei1
employment as Superintendent. Ane
The people know, too, that the cries Q
the insane, the meanings Of the mac
may be head IN every county in thu
state, and the jails and poor-houses O
he country are filled with their wailings
! The money is in the Golfers Of brokers
or speculatcd upon by public contrac
tors, and the poor people OF the State
have to endure the double burden 0
supporting these unfo-tunates and pay
ng the taxes levied upon their property
to build place OF safety and comfor
for Their insane flcinds and relatives.
These are but few OF the enoimitie
which have been committed by the Re
publican patty, and have transpired il
our midst.
Within the last two years, John
Brown, with his bAnd,tti, penetrated in
to the remote frontier counties OF South
Western Missouri. In the dead hour o.
night, when an innoceit family wal
wrapt in the arms of slumber, tins gang
OF Land pirates stole quietly into the bee
chamber of the inotfensivc farmer and
baptized the humble domicil with the
blood of the husband and father and left
HE widow and orphan children to tra
,h~ir night-clothes though the gore, in
fleeing away from the face of these de.
