OUR COUNTRY, THE LAND OF LIBERTY
a NEW SoSo, NATIONAL AND PATRIOTIC.

By Harriet e. Scott
TuSE-"Auld Lang syne."
America thy name is dear
In every patriots breast;
A watchword thou to freedoms sons!
And exles here find rest.
No tyrant wieds scepire here;
No monarch fills throne;
Btt Liberty reigns here supreme
The power is all her own!
Chorus-Then sing unto our country's friends
AT Liberty's fair shrinel
Well take a cup to Washington,
And days of 0Auld Lang Syne.n
Law, Truth and Wisdom guide the helm
OF this great ship of Slale
And statesmen bold the crew compose,
With Justice as the matel
The ballot-box their compass is,
And Freedom is the star
That leads US to our destiny,
Which not cloud can mars
Then sing, &c.
The Constitution is their chart,
The peoples good their aim;
The rights of man they must impart
Or lose the need OF fame,
The Declaration, Bill of Rights,
Free toleration give;
We have no Princes, Lords, or Knights,
But all as Sovereigns livel
Then sing, &c.
We love our country, its the land
That bore George Washington!
Whose name shines forth in glory bright!
And equal it has none
And should another crisis come,
And danger hover DER,
May every patriot guide the land,
Like Washington of yore.
Then sing unto our country's friends,
At Liberty's fair shrine
Well take a cup to Washington,
And days Of "Auld Lang Syac."

ty fair to quantity, and advance in prices has
taken place. To-day we quote good to prime Md.
and Va. reds at I00a 05 cents, with sales; and in
ferior reds lower as in quality. We quote white
wheats at l05al0s cts, and family flour white at
llOall5 cents.
Corn.-The sales of old yellow have been uni
form throughout the week at 62a63 cents, and we
quote these prices to-day. New corn is now SELL

condition.

ToBAcco.-In the early part of the week the
demand from shippers for Maryland descriptions
was very active, and prices manifested 4 decided
improvement. Finding, however, that prices on
this side were advancing beyond any thing that
could be justified by the accounts from Europe,
shippers were compelled to withdraw from the mar
ket. The very great demand from manufactures,
however, fully sustains former rates, and the sales
of the last few days have been mostly to them
The sales comprise nearly all the unrestricted
lots in market. We quote Common Maryland
$3.50; good common Sc; brown S5.50a7; and fine
brown S7al0. We noticed, two weeks ago the
sale of 1000 hhds. ordinary quality of Mary land
at $3.50 Within few days past this lot has been
again re-sold in the market at considerable ad-
Vance. Some parcels of Ground Leaf, of the new
Crop, mostly of common descriptions, have reached
The market this week, and are held at $5.5Oa8.-
The inspections of the week are 27l hhds. Nd,
and $50 hhds. Ohio-total sol hhds. The total
inspections this year 3s 1853 hhds. against A.
473 hhds to the period last year.

The Baltimore Patriot of Saturday even
ing, says:
If this body is as unsuccessful in coming
to decision upon the provisions of the new
Constitution, as they have, so far, been in
organizing, twill be long while before
they ge, to the end of their business. Up
to the adjournment yesterday, no President
had been elected. The vote for Gen. Chap
man yesterday was only one short of a ma
iori,y, and this would have been given had
not one Of the members been absent. it is
supposed that he will be elected to- day.
He has every qualification for the office, and
the Convention could not do better than
elect him.
We are very glad to be able to say that
the report we had yesterday of the death
of w. H. Tuck, Esq, one of the members
of the Constitutional Convention from
Prince Georges county, is incorrect. Mr.
Tuck was in his seat in the Convention
yesterday, in good health. The repor, grew
out Of the sudden illness of w. G. Tuck,
Esq, Of Annapolis, who was said to have
died on Thursday, but who was still alive
yesterday.

Mex, week we will publish the Agricul
tural Address of Col. MERRIcK.

THE RACES in our county closed on
Thursday last. We regret 10 say that old
Charles has been badly beaten upon her
own soil. The purses Of $500, on the first
day, and of $500, on the second Cay, were
taken by Mr.. GILL1AMs Of Virginia and
the Proprietor's purse of saddle, bride,
whip, spurs and marlingale, was taken by
Mr.. MADDOX of ST. Mary's county. 1t is
conceded by our friends that the purses were
fairly won, according to the rules that
govern s?or.smen,) and, Of course, they are
satisfied with the result, bu, not discouraged.

As we stated in our last, our county, dur
ing the Races, was disgraced by the pre-
sence Of several notorious Blacklegs.-
These fellows had their rouleues, swea.
cloths, &C., near the race ground; and
we understand, some Of our countymen were
relieved Of the "pewter'' with the greatest
ease imaginable. While some of our good
citizens, headed by the Sheriff, were pre-
pairing to make descent upon the gamblers
Two of them took the hint and vamoosed,
leaving the renowned JAKE FRESH in his
glory upon the ground. Jake was arrested,
brought to town, and, by skillful maneu-
vre, made his escape by mounting horse,
which, il seems, was in readiness for him
close by. Jake acknowledged very frank
ly tina, he had violated the law; ye. "lhought
he had not acted dishonorably, as he was
countenanced by some of our cilizens."-
We suppose every profession has its "code
of honor" Are we TO be governed by
the Gamblers code, which declares it not
dishonorable TO violate law and good
morals?
A LUCKY EDlToR.-The editor of the
Port Tobacco Times must be we'll supplied
with his winter stores, as we notice in his
last number he returns thanks to no less
than four ladies for "a considerable supply
Of prin. butter;" to another for "a loaf of
wheat Bread" and to three of the other sex
for bushel of Irish potatoes, slaug entered
mutton, and lot of cabbage. If he be the
generous man we take him to be, he will
invite some of the many half starved edito-
rial fraternity to help devour his stock of
provender. We move that an extra session
of the editorial convention be called to mee,
al Port Tobacco on Christmas day.-Ba1t.

We second the motion, Mr.. "Cipper,'
most heartily. Will the President put the
question:? We should be glad to see the
whole Observation-Disclosures or well-fed-
with US at the time designated. 1t would
be righ, merry Christmas, doubtless
Come one and all, and We will endeavor to
sustain the widespread reputation of old
Charles for hospitality.
