Free CoIored Persons.

For some years past it seems to have been
regarded rs the special mission Of the Loco.
foco party in Iowa to make unceasing, re-
lentless and exterminating war upon the free
colored inhabitants Of our State. The reso-
lutions Of their conventions, the action of
the party 10 the Legislature, the speeches Of
their candidates and the editorials OF their
press have Illuminated the Indignation Of De-
mocracy against the free negroes. They
have sought to drive them from the State,
to deprive them OF all rights whatsoever, to
exclude them from the bepefts Of common
schools, to disqualify them from giving tes-
timony in our courts of justice, and in every
way to insult and degrade them.
Two striking Instances Of this general
course of the party occur to our mind and
Indicate the prevailing sentiment for years
past in the Democratic party Of Iowa. 1t
will be recollected that the burden OF Ben.
Samuels' speech, when he was q candidate
for Governor, was "nigger," and that he rang
the changes on it through all the rami iica.ions
OF State and National policy, and was alter
nstely indignant and pathetic over the fac.
that the State Constitution secures to the
colored population the right to give testimo-
ny in our courts Of justice and participa-
ton in the benefits OF the common school
fund. The other instance was the conduct
OF the Journal, few months ago, in its per-
severing denunciation and abuse OF Rev. Mr..
Brown. who; in a communication II coz
mendation Of the colored Sabbath school oil
our city, stated that the conduct Of tho pu.
pills compared faTerably with that Of Ii.
white pupils in many Of our Sunday schools
But We need not multiply instances, for j,
isfaniliar to the mind Of every one that ths
course OF Mr.. Samuels and Of the Journol
bat exhibits the prevalent tone OF sentimen,
in the party, and that their politicians rely
upon the Niger prejudice as the chief source
Of their political capital.
Now We wish to show how this kind Of sen.
timsnt il regarded by respectable slave.
holding journal, when manifested in South
srn State. The New Orleans True Della
speaks quite - favorably of the colored pop.
ulation Of Louisiana as the Rev. Mr.. Brown
did Of the colored pupils in the Sunday

CTThe Parish Visitor, an Episcopal Pc
rodical, says there is a striking instance Of
the saving power Of printed truth in the case
of one of our Bishops. Thirty years since,
he was cadet in the e. s. Military Acade-
my at West Point. His room mate visited
the chaplain to deliver letter OF introduc-
ton. On leaving, the chaplain put into his
hand Bishop Porteous' tract on the Eviden-
ccs Of Christianity. Returning to his room,
he threw the volume to his frisnd, begging
him to read it, and tell him what to say to
the chaplain; whether it was very argumen-
tive, or very pathetic or very practical. The
cadet took the book thus lightly proffered,
and read it not in vain. 1t convinced him Of
the truth of Gods Word. 1t showed him his
lost and sinful estate. 1t led him to the
chaplain's study, and to faith in the Lord
Jesus. On a subsequent Sabbath, that ca
det came forward to be baptised in the name
OF Christ and he was the first Of many
souls gathered into the Lords garner, many
Of whom exchanged their commissions in the
army, for authority to preach the Gospel Of
Christ. That cadet is Bishop Polk, the pres
ent Bishop of Louisiana the chaplain is the
