FROM LOUISIANA.
NV ORLEANS, La, Jan. ,, 1856.
To the Editor ofthe Ndtiond! Era:

M" phLhANS, La, JttH =, 1910.
To the Editor oftbe National Era:
/ rely upon the Era for correct representa-
ton of the stale of parties in the free States
and Judge OF them here by what | constantly
witness Of their movements. The contest be-
tween the Democratic and Know Nothing par
ties has been fierce and bitter. The defeat of
the latter has, i think, induced the belief that
their position was not well chosen; and they
are now casting about TO see what can be done,
that viii give them a stronger hold upon the
public mind. The want of argument among
themselves is proof positive that there is no
recognised principle as foundation for the or
ganization. The indications are, that the op-
position 10 foreigners generally will be given
up, for the more plausible one Of keeping out
foreign paupers aud criminals by means of
high capitation tax. But will it avail them
anything party? / think not; but what
ever Influences 1t may have in merely local con-
tests, 1t must, | think, be apparent to every
candid mind, that no question can be got up
that will harmonic the free and slave States.
The question Of Slavery is now felt, if not ac-
knowledged, to be Of paramount consideration.
The Southern press know, and some of them
admit, that this state of things has been has
tened by the extreme ultraism of the Slavery
party. But then the position has been as
sumed, and must be maintained; it was right
in itself, only premature. The storm that ii
has raised in the North must be allayed by
threats, not by concessions. Everything like
opposition TO the interest or wishes of the slave
States is spoken of as evidence of deep-seated
enmity, not only to the South, but to the Con
stitution. Nothing is to be regarded as calcu
lated TO promote the interest of the nation, that
conflicts with the interest of the peculiar in
stitution.'
/ wonder if il is generally known that this i:
all done for effect. They pretend to think tha
the powers of the Government, In the hands o
the Republican party would be exertsd to the
detriment of Slavery in the States; that the SOW
ereignty of the States would be invaded, or per
haps destroyed, by them; and therefore the
South must be prepared for the contingency
They all know and feel that the discovery of 1
plot for the rising of the slaves would create {
thousand times the alarm and just apprehen
sions of impending evil that would arise from
anything that the Republican party would do
But what so well calculated to excite to action
and unite the friends or apologists for Shaver,
throughout the country, as the idea of sufferin!
gross Injustice at the hands of their opponents
That is the object. Will they succeed in keep
ing the control of affairs, or will the free State
discard partyism for principle?

CENTRALIA, MARION Co., ILL.,,
January I, 1856.
AS Centralia is a new place, and has been so
recently introduced to your notice, will tell
you where to look for it on the maps which will
be published when it becomes city, which, by
the way. it promises fair to be some day, not
many years hence. 1t is situated at the juno
ton of the Chicago branch of the Illinois Cen
trail railroad with the main trunk, on a rich
and handsome prairie, well adapted to cutiva-
ton, and settled with an industrious commu-
nifty, made up-as almost every part of the
West is-of people from almost every country
on the globe. The majority of the inhabitants
are from the Southern States of this Union;
hence the prevalence of Pro-Slavery sentiment.
The Central Railroad Company are building
pretty extensively here, and will carry on a
heavy business in making and repairing the
machinery of the road, and will necessarily
employ a large number of hands. The town
is growing rapidly, and don't know of any
better locality in the West for industrious me
chanics and farmers, than this place and the
surrounding country. Real estate is advancing
rapidly in price, but can be bought on reasona-
bic terms yet. If you see any good honest,
industrious AntiSIavery men seeking for
home in the far West, tell them to call at Cen
tralis, before they purchase elsewhere, las the
merchants say,) and examine for themselves.

The Providence Journal aptly illustrates the
anxiety of Southern disunionists for the safety
of the Union, by the following anecdote:
Everybody remembers an anecdote, long cur
rent, of a worthy citizen of Providence, who
was distinguished rather for the strength of his
theoretical orthodoxy than for its practical de-
velopment in his walk and conversation, and
who held the office of committeeman in one of
our Baptist churches. He had been much
troubled at the doubtful sentiments preached
by several clergymen from abroad, who had
disturbed the even current of doctrine, not ex-
actly by new tenets, but by some new applica-
tons of old and welsettled ones.
One day q member of the church came to
him, and asked his consent to open the meeting.
house for preacher from abroad, who wished
to hold forth in the evening at early candle
light. The consent of the other members of
the committee had been obtained, and his only
was wanting.
81 don't know" said he; II don't know
about letting everybody that comes along into
our meeting house. Who is this man?"
"a very worthy man and an excellent
preacher"
81 don't care about that; but is he orthodox ?
Is he orthodox"
Perfectly orthodox, one of the regular old
fashioned Roger Williams Baptists."
"Well, if you are sure of that, he NAV preach
but have made up my mind, as a Christian
man, that | will not have any more of this
ID false doctrine preached in our pulpit"
