sWer, never! NEVER NeVers-dENKT clay.
By GEORGE W. CUTTER.
You ask me when I'd rend the scroll,
Our fathers names are written Ger,
When would see our flag unroll
Its mingled stars and stripes no more
When with worse than felon's hand,
Or felon counsel / would sever
The Union of this glorious land
I answer, "Never, never, never"
When ye can find in lawless might,
Where carnage treads its crimson way,
Where burning cities gid the night,
Where cannon smoke obscures the
day;
In towns deserted-felds Of ground
Abandoned by the faithful plough,
Security-hope-peace profound,
The blessings heaven youchsafes ye
-r.1 now.
Think We that l could brook to see
The emblem we have loved so long,
Borne piecemeal Ger the distant sea,
Torn, trampled by phrensied throng,
Divided, measured, parcell'd out,
Tamely SURRENDERED up forever
To crafty a lawless rout
Of traitors? Never, never, never.
On yonder lone and lovely steep
The sculptor's art, the builders pow
er--
A landmark Ger the soldiers sleep
Have reared lofty funeral tower.
There it will stand until the river
That rolls beneath shall cease to flow;
Ay, till that hill itself shall quiver
With natures last convulsive throe.
Upon that columns marble base,
Its shaft, that scars into the sky
There still is room enough to trace
The list of millions yet to die.
And would cover all its height II
And breadth, before the hour of
r. shame,
Till space should fail whereon to write
Even the initials of name.
Nav, would haste to swell the ranks,
Direct the fire or lead the way
Where battle swept the rifted ranks,
And bore the terrified files away,
Fall bleeding in the doubtful strife
Beneath the motto of my sires,
And draw my latest breath of life
Before that Union flag expires.
Dissolve the Union--nay, remove
The last asylum that is known
Where patriots find brothers love,
And truth may shelter from thronei
Give up the hopes of high renown,
The legacy our fathers WILD,
Tear our victorious eagles down
Before their mission is fulfilled.
Dissolve the Union-while the earth
Has yet tyrant to be slain;
As well repress the lightning's birth,
Or stop the heavings of the main.
Dissolve the Union-God of Heaven,
We know too well how much it cost;
A million bosoms shall be riyen,
Before one golden link is lost;
Nay, spread aloft our banner folds
High as the heaven they resemble;
That every race this planet holds
Beneath its shadow may assemble.
And with the rainbow's dazzling pride,
Or clouds that burn upon the skies,
Inscribe upon its margin wide
Peace, Freedom, Union, Compromise?

After some heavy sobs, he wiped his

BEER DRtNKING.--"Medical men,"
says DR.. Gordon, ARE familiar with
the fact that beer drinkers in London
can scarcely scratch their fingers with
out risk of their lives. A copious Lon.
dor beer drinker is one vital part. He
wears his heart on his sleeve (; bare to
a death wound even from a rusty nail
or the claw Of a cat" Sir Ashley
Cooper, OIL one occasion, was called
to a drayman who had received an in
jury in his finger from a small splinter
of store. Suppuration had taken
place. This distinguished surgeon
opened the small abscess with his Ian
Get. On returning he discovered that
ho had forgotten his lancet case 60
ing for this, he found his patient in d
dying state. Efery medical man in
London concludes the same writer,
"dreads above all things, q beer
drinker for a patient"

The ocean looketh up to heaven,
As twere a living thing;
The homage of its waves is given,
In ccasoless worShipping.
They kncel upon the sloping sand

jury TRIAL.-Blackstone says that
" the trial by jury" has been used
time out Of mind in Great tain,and
seems to be coetal With the first civil
government thereof. Some authors
have cndcavorcd to trace the origin Of
iuries back to the ancient Britons; but
it is worry certain that they we're in use
in the carly Saxon cclories--their in
stitutiou Being ascribed to Wooden,
their great legislator. For this reason
traces Of juries may be found in tho
laws Of all the nations which adopt the
feudal system, rs Germany, France
and Italy, There is mention Of them
in England as early as the laws Of
King Ethelred, and then not as a new
invention. Stiernhook ascribes the
fret introduction Of the jury to Reg.
ner, King Of Sweden and Denmark;
who vas contemporary with the Eng
lish King Egbert. So some have as
cribed to Alfred the Great of England;
but the truth appears to be that its Or
isin is so involved in obscurity that it
is impossible to tell who first insti-
tuted il.

thorough publication. But as the secession
wing of the Southern democracy holds the as
cendancy over the party in that quarter, and
as tn free soil wing holds the spoils in the
North, and as both make common cause with
the administration, as the head an front of the
present No ional democratic party, we may
safely conclude that between the Southern
wings and the present dominant democratic Or
ganization there neither viii nor can be any
amalgamation in vi.w of the next Presidential
campaign.
The party prospects, then, for the campaign
of 1856 are-First an overshadowing anti-Ne-
braska, anti-slavery Northern party, including
the Northern wings some democratic free soil
ers, and all the outside abolition, socialist and
inf Ell factions. Secondly, an Independent
Southern National Union wing party, which
may probably form JUNCTION yet with the ma
tional democrats of New York and the North,
uron constitutional principles Thrifty an ad-
ministration democratic party, utterly power
less in the North and demoralized in the
South. Should the Southern wings, ignoring
all their old, obsolete party issues, lay down
a new, consistent, national aud practical
Union platform, they may still rally to their
support the balance of power, even in the
North. Let them, to this end, hold their South
ern conventions, aad take the initiative in the
formation Of tho proposed national Union party
and make such arrangements for national
convention Of the Union and Constitutional
men OF all parties as may be deemed expedient
in the fulflnlent Of their plans The wings o.
the Nerih are hopelessly cut of from reunion
with their late brethren Of the South. The
dominant administration democratic party up
on its present organization and as sociations, Gf
they shall continue, as they probably will,) is
destined to an ignominious defeat in 1856.
Neither Nebraska, nor the Gadsden treaty, nor
a war With Spain can save it.
The Southern wings are in.a position to COM
mano the balance of power Let them act ac
cordingly, and they may right the ship ofState,
and defeat the conspirators against the Union
North and South.
