GUS organization has been set on foot, with

SOUTHERN SENTIMENT ON THE SLAVE TRADE
Letters have been received by Mr.. Thomp.
son, Secretary of the Interior, from govern.
nent officials at the South, detailing the
difficulties and even the dangers they have
had to encounter in Drawing public sentiment
in the effort to suppress the African slave
trade"
Yet the northern quietists still tell us that
there is no public sentiment at the South in
support Of the slave trade.

Politician, says of our American politics:
"a Democrat swaggcrs as if the govern,

contrary hesitates, doubts, and acts as if
victory were too good for him. The one ut,
tiers, fearlcssly, the most attrocious senti-

apologies for the expression of the most strik-

Iowa Farmers COLLEGE.
DEsMoINHs, June 9th. 1859,

AAsMotNES, Ouie StA3 lCOS.
Nix. EDITOR Our Board met on Monday,
and organized by placing Gov. Lowe in the
Chair as President pro tenn. Nine of the
eleven Trustees appeared; Mr.. Coffin, of the
North, being absent, and MIR. Wright, of the
West, having resigned. Mr.. Mills, of Cass
county, was, on recommendation of Mr..
Thos. II. Benton, elected to ill the place of
Mr.. Wright.
The subject of the election of our Presi
dent whether it should take place at this
time or be deferred to some future meeting
- has been before US and laid over for a
few days, until after the location Of the Col
lege, that being the subject of greatest and
most absorbing interest. There are propo-
sitions here from Tama, Marshall, Hardin,
Story, Polk, and Jefferson counties; also
some others which are not presented in such
authentic form as to allow us to consider
them. These proposals are to sell at liberal
prices-at reduced prices--to donate; and,
in most cases they are accompanied with Il
bonus, in the shape of County subscription,
or, County Bonds, as they are usually call
ed, to the amount Of from $4,000 to $780,
600. We have considered the subject wheth-
err to accept these offers in County Bonds us
bonafde and valid, and decided that we will.
On tuesday, night we adjourned over to
Thursday, at o'clock, in order to give the
Committees an opportunity to examine pro-
posed locations in this and Story county.
When we shall be able to arrive at q de.
cision on this question of location is uncer
tain. 1t is very evident we can make good
selection, and have ample assistance towards
erecting the Farm buildings. S. FOSTER.
The following letter from Mr.. Foster may
not have been intended for publication; but,
as there are several items of interest embra.
ced in it, we risk mourning the displeasure of
the writer by printing it,
DEsMOINEs, June IS, 1859.
MEssRs MAIN We cannot locate our
Agricultural College until we have visited the
places proposed. We have adjourned for
that purpose until the 2lst of June There
fore, | expect to be here at the Republican
Convention, and if l am wanted to serve in
that convention, will do SO. Or if the dele
gates will come out, it will suit me BEST
Likely my Trustee business may not be
through.
But if it is wished that I should serve,
wish l might have some instruction. Please
drop me a Journal.
We start this morning, (Monday,) to visit
Story, Hardin, Marshall and lama, and if we
can We shall give this county still further ex-
animation. We intend to take the twists and
winds and knots all out of our Board, and
make clear stuff and planned also.
Yours truly, S. FOSTER.
p. S. Showers in all directions last night.

EXPENSIVE LuxuRY.-Thc free laborers of
the United States are enjoying an expensive
luxury which is annually increasing in
cost. The slaves of the South not only shut
free white laborers out of much the larger
portion of the Union, but monopolize all its
benefits for the advantage of the slave own
ers. And in addition, the cost to the country,
of which the free men of the North have to
pay four. fifths, of providing the shareholders
with negroes from Africa, or of returning
those that escape, has become most cnor-
NOUS
The costs Of suits in the various unsuc-
cessful prosecutions of the slave traders in
South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia, amount
to many thousands Of dollars, and the costs
Of arresting and returning fugitive slaves, and
the trials of rcscucrs, amount to still great
er sum. We doubt not that these two items
Of expense by the General Government ex-
coed annually the entire expenditure for the
State Government Of Iowa. The common
people Of England are taxed in one way OF
another to support the extravaganza of he,
titled nobility, and in humble imitation, the
descendants of the people of England in this
country bear like burdens to keep up an un
titled aIistocracy of shareholders.
