The American Flag.

The A mericRn Flag
Fling out the nations stripes and stars,
The glorious standard of the freq,
The banner borne through freedoms wars,
The hallowed gem of liberty.
On mountain top, in valley deep,
Wherever dwell the free and brave,
Der graves where freedoms martyrs sleep,
Columbia's flag must freely wave.
Raise high the bright suspicious flag,
From every height and lowly glen,
In forest, dell or jutting crag,
Affair among the hearts of men.
The sparkling banner widely flung,
Shall wave DER land and sea:
And freedoms anthems sweetIy sung,
Shall swell our country's jubilee!
Oh let the world that flag behold,
The emblem of the brave and free;
The brightest crown of streaming gold
That decks the Goddess Liberty.
Spread out its folds till heavens doms
Reyerberates the holy sound,
That all oppressed + ave found home
Oh freedoms consecrated ground.
Fling out our couDtry's banner wide,
Our emblemqtic starry gem,
Our Union neUer shall diride
While floats that silken diadem.
Year after year the brilliant stars
Shall indicate the strength of all
Let all beware Of civil wars,
That curse of monarchs-freedom's fall.

Mr.Fttzpatricl<'sL Letter ofDoclen.lon.

Oh AJcCAehBtOn
As our friends of the Enquirer have rot
yet published this letter, and it is fraught
with interest, as well for Democrats as Re
publieans, we give it place.
WASHINGTON, June 25th. 1860
GENTLEMEN: Your letter OF to-day in
forming me that ! have been unanimously
nominated by the National Convention of
the Democracy which met at Charleston or
the 23d Of April last, and adjourned to meet
at Baltimore on the 18th of June. as their
candidate for the Office of Vice President,
was duly received. Acknowledging with
the livelest sensibility this distinguished
mark of your confidence and regard, it is
with no ordinary feeling of regret that con-
siderations the recital of which l will not
impose upon you, cOnstrain me to decline
the nomination so fatteringly rendered.
My designation rs a candidate for this high
position would have been more gratifying
TO me if it had proceeded from united
DemOcracy-united both as to principles
and to men. The distracIing differences at
present existing in the ranks of the Demo-
cratic party were strikingly exemplified
both at Charleston and Baltimore, and, in
my humble opinion, distinctly admonsh
me that | should in no way contribute to
these unfortunate divisions.
The Black Republicans have harmonious
ly, at least in Convention, presented their
candidates for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency. So has the Constitutional
Union party, as it is termed. Each party
is already engaged for the contest. In the
presence of such organizations, we still un-
fortunately exhibit divided camp. What
a melancholy spectacle! 1t is calculated to
cause every Democratic citizen, who cher
ishes the Constitution of his country, to de-
spond, if not to despair, of the durability of
the Union. DESTROYS, as far as | am capa-
BILE OF exercising any influence, to remove
every obstacle which may prevent a Iestor-
alton OF the peace, harmony and perfect
concord OF the glorious old party to which
l have been infexibly devoted from early
manhoOd-a party which, in my deliberate
opinion, is the only real and reliable liza
ment which binds the South, the North, the
East and the West together upon constitu-
tional principles-no alternative was left to
me but that which | have herein most re-
spectfully communicated to you.
For the agreeable manner in which you
have conveyed to me the action of the Con-
vention, accept my sincere thanks.
Very truly your friend and ob't servant.
B. FITZPATRICK.

by HORACE P. BIDDLE.
How beautiful is Memory, a sweet bird of
passage fitting far into the past, bringing
back our pleasures, and, all /! too sadly true,
sometimes lighting on a pain. On its wings
we wander through Il long vista, and hover
over many pleasant places and we nestle
among our griefs till they are softened al
most into joys. We see the hill we climbed,
the plain we rambled over, the tree, the
swing-and many a dear spot inwoven
with the very texture of our being. And
our past loves how sweet they were how
beautiful our Nellie or Nancy, our Saliie or
Jane. How much better we could recite
our lessons when they were present, how
dull the school without them. At the
incoming how we would hang around their
play houses, draw near and almost tremble,
or go away and weep we knew not why.
Who does not remember the witchery of a
pale forehead, bright eye, rosy cheek,
cherry lips, or soft wavy locks
Without Memory we should have no past
life, as without Hope we could see no future
They are the two wings that bear poor HUI
man nature onward. Memory is the chief
faculty that distinguishes man from the
lower orders of animals. Beasts act from
immediate impressions, man from past mem
Dries and present consciousness. Without
memory there could be no reasoning, for
what is reasoning but the act OF comparing
past impressions recalled by the memory
with those of the present. perceived through
the senses? Without memory there could
be no knowledge, morality, nor taste, nor
any cultivation whatever for what is phil
osophy, history or science, but recorded
memories; and what is art but revived and
preserved beauties? The past is as fixed as
marble, the present as plastic as wax, and as
we mould the present, SO shall forever be
the past He who has sweet memories, has
bright hopes, and always must be happy

A LION AT PIKE's PEAK Mr.. J. r. Vandeyanfer.
while exploring the country southwest from the
Wisconsin district the first new discoveries came
unexpectedly on mountain lion. They both saw
each other at the same time but neither seemed 70
be very favorably impressed with the appearance
of his new acquaintance, and yet neither seemed
willing to retreat. Mr. Nandevantsr concluded
that to turn back, would be sure to encourage the
to stand his ground. or to advance and make the
attack, and know the worst. Obtaining . club.
and taking out his pocket-knife- the only weapon
he had for defense-Ae fixed his eyes steadfnstly
upon those of the lion, and advanced. The lion
stood his ground until Mi. Nandeyanter approached
within twenty feet of hira, when his failed
and he beat hasty retreat; thus ending what
might otherwise have been serious catastrophe
