To the Irishmen and Fenians of Iowa:
COUNTYRMEN AND BROTHERS:-According to orders received from Headquarters
Captain W.A. Grace, Centeral Organizer for Minnesota, has started on a tour
to organize the F.B. of Iowa. he comes to our State to advance the cause of
Fenianism, and while he will do all in his power to strengthen and increase
the civil department, he will devote his time and energies more particularly
to the military. He will remain in each place long enough to set the
organization of that locality in thorough working order; still, in order to
facilitate his progress, circles are expected to have their arrangements
made when he visits them. He will inform you of what is requried from Iowa,
and I am sure that the promises made at the last State Convention, based on
the report of the F.B. in Iowa will be fulfilled to the letter. In a word,
Captain Grace's mission to Iowa means work, earnest, practical work, so that
localities, or communities of Irishmen, who have nothing more for Ireland
and the cause than senseless cheers or a cheap "God speed," can consider
themselves entirely outside the programme. This may seem arbitrary, no
matter; arbitrary or not, I repeat that parties requestin a visit from
Captain Grace, and who, when means and muscle are required, are found
wanting, must no feel disappointed if he preferes the company of a few "do
or die" men, to the meaningless cheers of a crowed of place goers. He will
give all attention to those places and persons, willing to aid our cause,
and satisfy every wish and desire with regard to the organization. Let us
then, my countrymen, do all in our power to second his efforts. We can do a
vsat deal if we but only try in earnest. One effort, then; one sincere,
determined effort and we must succeed in placing Iowa as a power on the
rolls of the F.B. Our worst trials are passed.
The justness of our position and the holiness of our cause, have carried us
through the storm. 'Tis true, "a little the worse for the weather," but the
ordeal has only served to unite the true ingredients in one more solid mass,
and to day the bewilderment of England and the terror of Canada, tell but
too plainly their admission of our earnestness. But a few months ago and the
pampered robbers in Dublin Castle laughed as they recounted the "follies" of
the "deluded dupes of Fenianism," the "Irish madmen." Let them answer
to-day, and if, for once in their lives, they tell the truth, they will
admit that there is a certain methodism and sleuth bound perseverance about
the doings of these same "deluded dupes" and "madmen" never before
manifested by any body of "Irish madmen." I remain yours, fraternally, John
Haley, D.C. Southern District F.B. for Iowa. N.B. Circles are requested to
communicate immediately with Capt. Grace and recieve their appointments.
Address all letters to Capt. W.H. Grace, Box 1591 Dubuque, or in care of
John Haley, Davenport.

NATURALIZATION- An impression prevails in the minds of many persons that
when an alien has taken out his "first papers"-i.e. his declaration to
become a citizen-he is entitled to vote. This is entirely wrong. After
taking out his "first papers" the alien must remain a resident of the United
States two full years, and after the expiration of that period, obtain his
naturalization paper before being entitled to vote.

Acquaintance with these facts may save some trouble at the election next
Saturday. Therefore we thus direct special attention to this subject. Below
we publish a correct list, as copied from the official records, of all those
who have obtained their first papers at the office of the Clerk of District
Court of this county, during the past two years. Of course no one of these
can vote on Saturday next, and any attempt to do so will subject them to
severe punishment.
