C. DUNHAM, Eso.-Dear Sir, You will allow
me to make few remarks which may be inter
estinS to your readers.
At the close of an article in your papesof yes
terday morning headed The Kansas JIeeting in
which you refer to some of the details of Col
Lanes Speech, might be added another incident
that occurred, and which will prove that the
German American Population are ready to give
their sympathy for the cause of Freedom.
After the close of Col. LIS Speech at the
hour of midnight-the Society of Turner's pro-
cceded to the Barret House and serenaded the
gallant Colonel with three Hymns of their Faith
erland, to which he QIane) responded in his usual
style and thanked the sons of Germany in the
name of the people oil Kansas, for their adher
ence to the cause OF freedom.
Allow me to point you to the fact in the above
through which the German Americans show
their position toward the last outrages in Kansas
as well as in Congress, and give You the asSura =
ces that as much rs VIC are opposed to the so
styled Know Nothing party, (whose principles we
look upon as an infringement of the right of man J
we are ready at all times to give coopera-
ton for tie cause of freedom the preservation
and advancement of this Union.
l would further state that those of the German
American population that have forgotten the
tyranny of their land of birth are few, in COM
parison with those that remember their duty to
the revolutionary heroes of Germany that shed
their blood for this Union, and the liberties of
men-to condemn the present aggressive siavo-
democratic administration, which if kept in pow.
er will ultimately sever the bonds of this Union.
May the future satisfy the German Americans
that republican principles and not unrepublican
Humbug will succeed. LEOPOLD j. NADER,

schools in Iowa.

MR.. EDITOR
Through your paper wish to make few sug-
gestions, and ask a few questions, respecting the
common practice of teachers, and school COM
miitecs. l do not know what the school laws
of Iowa arc, they may be good but if they are,
they certainly are constantly violated, and
might better not exist. 1t is not uncommon for
persons to be employed to keep school, who arc
not qualified to teach and no measures are tax
en- to ascertain whether they are or not. Some
times they are questioned by the directors (who
in nine cases out of ten, are not fit to judge of
the applicants ability to teach) in this manner,
"What will you teach for," "Can't you afford to
teach for little less" &C., and lift these questions
are answered satisfactorily, it is all that is neces
sary.
1fa young man can read, write, and cipher,
and is short of funds, he has only to make appli-
cation, take school, and say Twenty dollars
per month is better than nothing" Now what
is the direct tendency of such proceedings? Is
it not to keep the schools backward? to make
teaching disreputable? to drive competent teach
ers from the field?
Most assuredly it is and unless something is
done to raise the standard OF teaching, to see
that keepers, are qualified to teach, in short un-
less teaching is made and recognized as a pro
tession, it is to be feared that in few years no
competent, sensible sensitive person can be en-
ployed 10 engage in the unthankful, disreputa-
bic business Of teaching.
This County surely is rich enough in intellect
to afford Board Of Education, Board of
Examiners, whose duty it should be to hold
Public examinations annually, and grant cer,iti-
Gates to those only who are found competent to
teach, and no person be permitted to teach with.
out certificate:
If the experiment were made it would be found
that instead of the surplus OF teachers at pres
ent, there would be a deficiency. But this wo'd
not last long, teachers would strive, and would
qualify themselves for the work, and then, and
hot until then, will teaching become profess
sion. Then, instead of the present sickly, back
ward state of our District schools, they would
all become tourishing, creditable little semina-
res, teachers would no longer be looked upon
selfish dolar-seeking class who are too lazy
to get their living in any other way, but be re-
garded as respectable, and useful members OF so
eiety.
know that much will have to be said and
much done, before the desired end will be ac.
complishd, yet the time, trust, will come, and
then communities will be ashamed of the man
ner in which they have been imposed upon,
Where is the proper place to begin such re-
formation!
1 should like to know the opinion of other
teachers on this snbject.

...rhe North Ivcst.n

We have received the first number of a new
paper just issued at Dubuque, under the Edito-
rial management of II. D. La CossIrT. II is In.
tended to supercede the Express and Herald as
she'organ ofthe pro-slavery party in that city
La Cossitt is writer of ability, friend Of Jones
and sound on the subject of, Border Ruffianism
and slavery Extension O.,
The Dubuque Express and Herald is the only
locofoco paper in Iowa that has pursued course
touching the affairs in Kansas, that has been char
acterzed by any sort of fairness. With this ex-
ception, they have given their readers only
the lying statements of the Missouri Republican,
and then in some instances as did the Gazette
here, attempted to palm them off as dsintcrest-
ed! These accounts were manufactured to Or
der for the express purpose of deceiving the
ed, and as every editor very well knows, who
has given currency to them. Yet a mercenary
partizan press, with this honorable exception,
have been careful to exclude from their pollut-
cd columns in accordance with the lying policy
inaugurated at Washington, every article, every
line, every word and every syllable of the truth,
which Unpublished would soon disabuse their dup
cd readers. They have even dscredi,ed their
own partizans who have returned from Kansas
and sought to disseminate the truth! Upon tie
Kansas BILL which was a solemn self.evident lie,
has been piled mass of falsehood which looms
up like the tower of Babel, and will topple over
and crush the Nebraska party.
To this general rule of falsehood and deception
we find one solitary cxceptionin Iowa. The Ex-
press and Herald has given, all the time, full ac-
counts Of affairs in Kansas, as well from the Mis-
souri, side as the Free State side of the contro.
versy, thus affording its readers, as reasoning
men, an opportunity of making up their minds,
from all the testimony, as to the facts and merits
OF the controversy. 81, ...
But, for thisact of fairness, that paper has been
discarded by the party. Truth and honesty are
not popular virtues with the slavery cxtention-
lists. 1.-THE North West" is now the organ, and
cry of prescription has been raised against the
Express ana Herald. What do South Carolina
'niggers" know of slavery? -+

From Kansas.

We are just now in receipt of letter from
valued correspondent in Kansas, bearing date
the oath ult. In consequence of its long delay
by the way, its news has nearly all been antici-
pated by other fayors from that region. The
following paragraphs, however, we copy, as
showing the aaimns of the ruffian invaders of
Kansas:
81 have heard the leaders in these outrases
reason thus There was the Lamiadry press il
was destroyed, its editors driven out of the
country their cabins burnt in the Territory, and
their claims taken by pro-slavery men, and they
are not such fools as to sue in the courts when
the officers were in the mob against them. Who
can help them: And SO it will be if we drive
ont these Free SoiIers. We have the officers,
the courts and the government They cannot
get redress; and will have to leave, they cannot
sustain themselves in the Territory. The North
is too busy making money TO leave and come
here. Northern blood is sluggish Ours is fiery
rich blood-oh yes, Southern blood South
erner can whip six Yankees. We can easily
scare them out of Kansas. The North cannot
get the steamboats, on the Missouri, while the
South can charter forty steamboats, and send
! thousands of men into the Territory at once.
The North will suecumb, you can bait them with
a dollar and catch them on any hook They
are a set of divided fanatics, poweriess in ac-
ton
such are the expressions and opinions Of
the pro-slavery leaders in Kansas."-Chicago

An HoSEsr KESrucKIAS.-The Paris (Ky.)
Western Citizen Of the Soth May, in announcing
the return of Mr.. Sebree from the scene OF
outrage in Kansas, gives the following relation
on the authority of that gentleman. 1t will be
read with interest as coming through presumed
prepossessions in favor of what the Ruffians call
"Abolitionism
..Mr Sebree says that large numbers of Mis-
sourians are in the Territory, and that the sup
ply of them is only limited by the demand. The
representation he makes of the men who CON-
pose the body Of the pro-savery party, and of
their proceedings, is no, very aattering to them.
He saws that decent Southern men who go there
under no undue excitement, are ashamed of
them, and he saw some such, whose minds on the
subject of slavery in Kansas had undergone a
complete change The large company of South
ern emigrants recruited in Alabama by Maze.
Batord, he represents as a miserable set of drum
ken loafers, many of whom have died in conse-
qnence of their vice and imprudence, and all OF
whom are cursing the iAen that induced them to
60 to the country. Mr.. Sebree says it is scner-
ally conceded, that of the actual citizens of the
Territory, two to one are in favor OF Free State,
and that with the exception of comparatively
small number of brawlers, they are quite indus
trioas men, seeking t. establish homes for them
selves and,their families. Trey have been out
numbered and oatroted by the people from the
borders of Missouri, who have been organized
for that parpose. These are unpala able truths
for Southern men, but the sooner the truth is
known the better. Mr.. Sebree thinks that the
war has but commenced, aud that in very
short time thousands Of armed men will be in
Kansas from the Free States.

Is IT NOT REASONABLE REoUEsT.-The Sov-
ereign Squatters of Kansas ask that they may
have voice in enacting their own laws and
protection from foreign invasion? Is this not
reasonable? They do not ask that any body
of their voice in law making. They are anxions
and willing to live peaceably with all actual set
tiers whatever their opinions or principles. But
they do object to the bloody rule of Missouri
them. Should they not be protected or left at
least free to protect themselves?

THE Wool TRADE.-The following in regard
to the wool trade is from the Detroit Advertiser
and viii be of interest these times, to the Iowa
wool growers as well as the Miehiganders:
None of the new clip has vet been received in
this market, but it will probably begin to arrive
in the course Of another week. In BcfIalo the
market is dull Sales are quoted at Sic for No.
super, and 81 ] for super ana extra In Chi
cago there is but little doing, dealers awaiting
new clip Small sales at from a5 to SIC. At
Milwaukee few small lots, new clip, have been
received and sold at 34taS5c for to full blood
and merino. An excange paper says, it is be-
heved by those most conyersant with the wool
business of the United States, that under the
most favorable circumstances which can arise,
the supply Of wool this year viii be short, and
thus prevent any dmnu,ion for some time to
como. II is not supposed that there has been
any increase in the domestic product since 1850.
when, according to the census, it was Go 0Oo, 900
The average import for series OF years was
about ai.ouo, ,ooo, making total consumed in
the country of 81 ,o0o, 900 of pounds. In order
TO get the yearly consumption of wool in the
country. or of fabrics made from it, the amount
imported in cloth must be aided TO the co,isump-
ton Of wool, which would give a yearly consuDp-
ton of about a00, ,oO0, 900 OF pounds.

FIRES, FIREs.-Some malicious persons for
two nights past have, taken the occasion after
all the inhabitants in the neighborhood were
asleep to build bonfire on the corner of Main
and Washington SITS. AS we were going home
Wednesday might've found large barrel filed
with shavings, on fire, with good prospect OF
setting fire to all those frame buildings in the
rear of White & Waterlllan's. Two or three
buckets of water put out the fire, or with the
high wind that prevailedat the time large part
of the business portion of ourcity would have
been in ashes before morning. Will our officers
