OUR BATON ROUGE CORRESPONDENCE

Unity Of Party Men for .secesion-7he Policy Of dc

From the general tone Of the Northern press Is easily
inferred that the position Of the people OF louisiana upo,
the question that is agtang the South is not under
stood.
Firm and loyal in her devotion to the rnion our State
has always kept her escutcheon free from contact with
the secessoniss PER OF eghborng States Guided
by wise policy, the votes OF her representatives whe
cast in compliance with the win Of her people, have been
always for compromise and industriousy engaged in
their various occupations no people have ardenty
desired 10 live in peace and continued union with the
North. With her almost equally divided VOTE alternate
y as were choosing her rulers from anoag the ranks
OF the opposition and the democratic parties she has
never given TO either that long continuance of power
that from the very nature Of popular government
begets more less corruption Thus hrm, LOYAL conse-
vatye and comparatively free from partisan prociiycs
Louisiana has been claimed, Is claimed In the North =
Of the group OF Southern states that would boldly
dash back the surf Of Southern sentiment from
her borders and preserve herself intact for continued
union with the North. The very nature Of her chief
production, its exotic peculartcs, the necessity for
large home market and that market protected from the
intrusion OF coaupeon has led 10 the belief that self
interest would lead her from the beaten course Of er sic
ter States The peculiar position OF her chief ety. the
export mart Of as many free states as slave has con
tribued TO confirm this belief.
And more than this quiet sober and patient the creole
population never politically demonstratise, and who
form the great of population have raised no
olamor, and the far OF Notherncr sees nothing in the
spasmodic burthens Of the telegraph denotirg that
louisiana is alarmed. Never was there greater mis-
take than in the general deductions from these flcts
lonr correspondent Is no alarmist and yet il would
