THE SENTIMENT IN LOUISIANA.
We have permission to publish the following
tract of private letter, received in this city, from
a gentleman well posted on the general sentiment
of the South, and particularly Louisiana The
letter is dated Bayou Sara, November "a, 1860:
"The telegraph advises you daily of Southern
movements. 1t is probable, indeed, that YOU are
better posted than myself, but in any case be as
sured there is danger ahead. No fear of physical
force, but very great fear of commercial ruin and
its train of suffering.
az had an interview with Gov. Moore, at Baton
Reuge, few days since. He is evidently conserv-
atve, but the outside pressure has forced him into
calling an extra session of the Legislature. | am
happy to state that in this, he has not regarded the
wishes of the heavy mercantile men of New Or
leans. The list of names, which you may have seen,
requesting the 'calP is made up from the notOrety-
mongers mainly. The men who have great inter-
ests at stake are disposed to be slow to act in so
grave a matter. | still indulge the hope that the
pocket nerve if no higher feeling, will save the
body polite. The thinking men of Louisiana be-
Iieve that, when the great fact of secession looms
up in all its fell proportions, there will be pause
and in that remedy may be suggested"
COLLECTIONS AT THE SOUTH.
The following is an extract from business letter
addressed to prominent law firm of Philadelphia
On the subject of collections of Northern claims in
the South
CHESTER, S. c., Nov %, 1850.
The prospect OF speedy collection is extremely SLIM
The truth is, that Northern creditors must make
up their minds to delay in payment of their claims.
We in a revolution, the results of which no one
can foresee. But the sooner the fact is realized by
the two great sections of the country and there is
separation and an adjustment of the treaties be-
tween them, the sooner will financial matters
cover their proper equilibrium.
There is no hope for the present confederacy.--
Diverse interests and the slavery agitation have
made the North and South two distinct peoples
and the election of Lincoln by a purely sectional
vote has made ious even the form of Union
between the two sections.
MOVEMENT IN TENNESSEE.
We find the following call published in the Ten
nessee papers. 1t is signed by number of the lead
ing men of all parties
In the present dangerous crisis in affairs, the un-
dersigned respectfully recommend the assemblage
of the people in primary meetings, to request the
Governor to call together the Legislature of Ten
nessee forthwith, with a view to their providing
for State Conventions the object of which shall be
to bring about a conference of Southern States to
consider existing political troubles and ifpossbe to
compose our sectional strifes.
REFUSAL OF THE VERMONT LEGISLATURE TO REPEAL
THE ANTlFUGTTIvE SLAVE LAW.
On the 23d inst. majority of the Committee of
the Vermont House of Representatives, to whom
had been referred bill to repeal act passed in
1858, to secure freedom to all persons within that
State reported that the same ought to pass, upon
the ground that the act ofl858 is unconstitutional
After clearly stating the argument against the act
the committee proceed to say:
"WhiIe we retain this law statute book we
stopped for very shame party in pdrt delete from
rebuking notification secession in other States. By
repeating the law we shall perform act of simple jus
ce ourselves and the States with whose rights the law
riotic everywhere that the bond which has long
held the States great and prosperous Union may
survive the peous dsconents of the tine, and endure
for ages to come"
The bill which accompanied this report was reach
ed Tuesday, and after able speech in favor of
its passage by Mr.. Thomas, of West Fairlee, it
was rejected. The vote to repeal was 5S, US Re-
publicans and 33 Democrats) the vote against re-
pealing was l25, (all Republicans.)
THE SOUTH CAROLINA MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
The Columbia South Carolinian of Tuesday, says:
We learn that all our members of the Federal
House of Representatives have determined to go on
to Washington and resign there. We are informed
that there are members from other Southern States
who are desirous of comforting with them in the
stems towards the consummation OF Southern
Confederacy. This arrangement will not interfere
with the discharge of their duties delegates to
Mr.. Miles have been nominated as delegates, for
which their experience admirably fits them, and,
therefore, their election is very generally desired.
