Flag of the Uuited states.

Ne'er waved beneath the golden sun
A lovelier banner for the brave,
Than that our bleeding fathers won,
And proudly to their children gave;
Nor earth fnirer gem can bring,
Or freedom claim brighter SCROLL
Than that to which our free hearts cling;
The flag which lights the freeman's soul.
Its glorious stars in azure shine,
The radient heraldry Of Heaven;
Its stripes in beautious order twine,
The emblems of Union given;
And tyrants with trembling gaze,
Survey its bright and meteor glare!
While glory's beams around us blaze,
And rest in fadeless splendor there.
Look, freemen! on its streaming folds,
As galantly they rage afar,
Where freedoms bird undauntcd holds
The branch of peace and spear OF war;
Will, high amid the rolling stars,
with words which every heat expands,
Within her beak serene she bears,
The badge Of our united land.
Flag Of the free still bear the way,
Undmmed by ages yet untold,
O'er earth's proud realms the stars display,
Like mornings radient clouds unrolled;
Flag Of the skies, still peerless shine,
Through earth's azure vault unturled,
Till every hand and heart entwine,
To sweep oppression from the world

American Candidate for CONGRESS-

As yet 10 one has been spoken of as the
candidate of the American party for Con
gress in this District. Individually we are
in favor Of James J. Lindley. For two
sessions lie has represented this district, and
even his enemies will acknowledge that he
has manifested great degree of fairness
throughout his entire course as Represen-
ative. We know that he is true to the
South and the Union, and il reelected he
will DO justice to all parties. We are for
Lindley-Lut should any other man Of equal
political worth and stability be nominated,
we arc for the American candidate Grand

1--WE recolect hearing DIR. Doweylong
before the English poet sang Of the ''good

tie, instead Of its ear-piercing screech,
would, in process Of time, be made TO pro.
duce music as pleasing as the tones Of the
wind-harp or bugle; and it seems that this
devoutly-t be-wished consummation is a.
bout TO be realized; for we learn from the
Worcester Transcript, that few evenings
since, that city and the country five miles
around was saluted by strains of music,

duced by Steam Musical Instrument

Hundred" and full programme of other
pieces, following each other in quick sue
cession. The inventor Of this instrumen,
is Mr.. Stoddard, worthy mechanic Of
Worcester. The editor of the Transcript
thinks that such an achievement ought &c
induce Brass Bands and violns TO clear the
track, for stationary steam piano can give

''The Villagers may dance upon the green"

EAST TENNESSEE PoLIrIcs.-The Knox
vile Register says:
The prospect of the American party in
East Tennessee, is brighter than political
party has had since the days of Harrison,
for glorious victory. From every quarter
the indications are most cheering. Last
summer our triumph was terrible to the en-
emy, but that was only the "beginning of the
end" Then we labored under many dis
advantages. To our candidate, many who
are now with us, found political objections
local dissenSions sprung up in our ranks
to impair our strength, and in many places
our friends were thereby disheartened.-
But now they are of 'one mind and voice, y
and are, everywhere, eager to do battle for
the man who, above all others, is their first
choice for the Presidency. Many Demo
crat, TOO, who has served his party for years,
will bury his silly partisan prejudices next
fall, and cast his vote for the man whom
his own leaders eulogized four years ago
as one Of the purest and soundest Of Amer
ican statesman. Our enemies will have Il
hard labor TO oppose Fillmore and DOnelsCn
in East Tennessee.
