grand and stirring music composed for us
and adapted for our use. There are few
grander strains than God save the Queen and
the Marsellaise Hymn; and they commend
themselves equally to the educated and un-
educated ear but our national airs-if so
we must call em-unf0rtunatey cannot be
heard by a musician without smile which is
almost one of contempt, while at the same
time there is nothing in their origin to link
them particularly with our fortunes, or ava
kened time honored associations in our bo
sons
The New York Courier and Enquirer in
the article quoted above. declares that in the
tune Of Yankee Doodle there is nothing in
ITS origin to link it particularly with our for
I tunes or awaken time honored associations in
our bosoms." We dissent from this opinion
entirely. The tune NAV have been an "in-
significant and patry" one originally, but the
associations now connected with it have
stamped upon it soul-stirring character
Melodies that have become national airs gen
orally speaking, have not much to recon-
mend them beyond their use. "God save the
King" which the Courier instances is simple
and severe. 1t probably was not employed
as a merely national air until modern times.
The ''Marselaise Hymn" has no antiquity to
hallow it. AS an air, it is rather artificial
and would never have suited the earlier sta.
gcs Of national music That tune which is said
to excite the Swiss exile almost to madness
by its influence, owes its power to association

gers. But to the Swiss, it speaks of home

that to person who saw train of cars in

much excited and elatcd in anticipating his

stood gazing with wonder and awe at the en-

example of the others. as soon as the cars
stopped he hurried aboard, with his saddle
bags on his arms. and seated himself near a
window. Then looking around a: the pas,

Mr.. Durand and Mr.. Durkee We wish to disa-
buse the public mind of such an impression rte

Mr.. Durkee-our friends abroad may rest as
sured-will get a large vote in this city and coun-
ty.. He will get larger vote in this county than
ever. All the Storie, set aHeat by Wings that the
issue is between Durkce and Durand, are design
ed to aid Mr.. Wells. They expect to get Free
Soil Wings, and some Free Democrats, to vote
for Durand, and thus lessen Durkce's and increase
Weiss chances. We could give the names of
leading Wings in this city-those who have been
honored with the confidence of the party-who de-
clare openly that there is no chance for Durand.
The statements Of the Sentinel and others, will
have no effect here-they are designed only for

A QUANDARY.-The Cincinnati Com SAYS,
"a man returned to this city last Monday, after
an absence of four years, expecting again to
taste the joys Of home and welded life and found
that his beloved wife had become anothers wife.
In this instance, the lady had not proved frail,
but had been deceived by reports of the death of
her husband, when it appeared that somebody
else OF the same name had been put under the
sod OF the gold region. This case is strictly
true, and presents fine field for legal argument
as TO the proper ownership of the female, which
will, however be obtained by the expressed viii,
