THE VOICE OF IOWA RrruRLIcANs.


THE VOICE OF IOWA REPUBLICANS.
The Drs Mones State Register, the Re.
publican organ at the Capital of Iowa say s.:
| In regard to the speech of Senator Grimes,
delivered on Monday there can Ue ou!y one
sentiment among the constituency in Iowa
| by whom lie has been so long and gencr-
ously supported. That sentiment is one of
intense disappointment and indignation. If
he now holds the views indicated Ly him
viz : that the difference between Congress
and the Executive wero merely political
differences, he mnst have entertained them
after the articles of impeachment had bceu
adopted and before the trial commenced
If he be thus believed, he must have known
he could not fairly represent the people of
his State upon the fair trial, aud should
have promptly rendered his resignation.
We have>not yet seen nor heard of the Re.
publican in the State who has doubts of
Andrew JonhSon's guilt. Thousands OF
cOPperheads and rebels, in whose service
he has been, acknowledged his open viola,
tons Of the Tenure-of0(lice law. The
Union men Of Iowa, therefore, have the
right to demand that james Grimes shall
not tlagrantly defy their Expressed will by
voting against the indictment found hy,tbe
House of Representatives, and if lie will
not obey their behest, that he shall vacate
his Senatorial Office before the final vote
shall be taken. The State may 10 thus
partially saved from Misrepresentation in
this emergency, and a portion of sthe male
dictions which must otherwise be visited
upon the Senator averted.
