DEATH OF A GOOD MAN.

LEESNlLLE, W., jan. o, 1000
It will no doubt occasion most painful sur
prise to many of the readers of Jour highly
useful and widely circulated paper, to hear
that ANDERSON R. DEMPsTER, one of the most
fearless defenders of the Anti-Slavery cause, has
fallen. He died at his residence in this place,
on January ?, 1855, ats P. NJ, in the 46th year
of his age.
In his death. the community has lost one OF
its most useful citizens, the slave a devoted
and unwavering friend, and his bereaved wife
and six children an affectionate husband and
father. He was leading member Of the Anti
Slavery church in this place, and. although his
earnest and Incorporating advocacy of what
he conceived to be right gave offence to some,
yet they lin common with alarge circle offriends)
manifested deep and unaffected grief at his
departure. The writer of this brief notice was
with him in his last moments. The day imme
diately preceding his death was serene and
unclouded. He seemed to sink sapace as the
day wore on, and just as the last rays Of the
setting sun were fading into twilight, he breathed
his last. 1t was fitting close of the life Of one
who loved MAN. The last words the writer of
this heard him utter were, We haze the inde-
pe',demce to assert oar rights, and the courage TO
defend Men..' ISAAC N. MEEK.

LET JUSTICE BE DONE.


January 9, 1855.
Your Centreville correspondent is entirely
too severe on Mr.. Holloway, and also on
Mr.. -, late u. S. marshal for this State.
He has been Pros Slavery enough but he stands
square on the 18th July Platform, and it is not
true, as alleged, that his name is on a liquor
sellers bond at this time, nor was he at the
time of the October election, but truth requires
me to say that he had been on one; but, through
his persuasion, the bond was cancelled, and the
dram-shop closed up.
l have known Mr.. Holloway for eighteen
years past, and although all his antecedents
are not what they should be, his present opin-
ions are what interest me most. He is fully
committed to the Peoples line, and let him
back out if he dare.
There is hope for the time to come, think,
and it i'll becomes any Centreville friend to
throw cold water now, but let us hope for the
best Yours, truly, II. b. PAYNE.

The course of the Era upon the subject of

friends in this section, where the Order was
thought to be under the influence of Republi-

show the wisdom of its course, and the paper
was never more popular than to-day.

and have seen that the Anti-Slavery battle has
got to be fought in the American Party, as it
has been fought in other parties; and feel
sure, that if the above papers had been exerted
in favor of the Order, they would have been a
powerful auxiliary to aid the Anti-Slavery men
in the Order to give it the right direction; first,
by encouraging the men of Anti-Slavery prin-
ciples to join; and, second, by dscouraging
Union Silver Gray and Hunkerdon from uni

aid the South and Hunkers to give the Order
Southern face. But, although feel as though
your Influence has worked in favor of Slavery
in the Order, yet know that you feel that you

principles we hold as of more consequence

AN ERROR.
WASHINGTON, PA, Jan. 10, l8j

WASHINGTON, PA, Jan. TO, 800.
Permit me here to remark that-it seems to
me that the doctrine that Slavery is sectional,
and Liberty national, is a mistake; for if Sa
very be constitutional it must be national, as
the Constitution itself is national. And wheth-
err it be constitutional or otherwise, it is con-
strued to be such, and that construction is
national. Again: If the Constitution were
admitted not to be pro-savery still, Slavery has
been made national by various Congressional
enacfmentS.

THE MASK OFF.

NEW ALBANY, IA, DEC. 30, 1901.
1t is impossible that a cause SO directly sub
versive of the genius of our Republic should
long prosper, and thousands in the West, who
were led astray by the false pretensions of the
Know Nothings, hoping by their union with
them to put stop to the aggressions of the
South, have now seen their folly, and, when the
hour comes, will band together in the holy
cause of Freedom.
The writer confesses to strong prejudice in
their favor, though never acting with them !;
but now the mask is thrown off, ont upon the
whole system. Let us never do era that good
may come. Do right in the premises, though
the nations totter, and God will take care of
the results. ING.

RAMPANT IN VERMONT.

ITTSfUKD, VT, DC. To, I6O4.
Know Nothingism is rampant in Vermont, as
in other places; and many, / am sorry to say of
the firm opponents of Slavery belong to their
numbers. The object here seems to be the re-
vival of the old, conservative, let-alone princi-
pie. 1t probably had more to do with our late
State election than many are aware.
Your subscription list will doubtless suffer
from your opposition to this society. But go on
in your free and independent course in the
cause of truth, justice, and humanity and
though God should say of this people, of
Ephraim of old, They are joined to their idols
let them slone," you will have the proud con-
seriousness of having done your duty.
