Various stories haze got into circulation in

some Of them being English rifles. On in
qulry at the proper sources, We find that
previous to today no arms had been brought
except by the Express Companies. Nine
teen cases of muskets, revolvers and cans
passed through the city by U. s. Express
Company for b. Kittridge & Co., Cincin-
natl, designed for sale. Yesterday twenty
eight cases of muskets and two cases of caps
were sent by the same Express to Quarter
master Gen. Wood, Columbus, for the use
of the State. These were packed in English
boxes, and bore marks of shipment at Eng

ed about twenty-five muskets.
This morning a dispatch from Buffalo to
the President of the Cleveland & Erie Rail
road announced that eighteen cars of arms
were at Buffalo for Cleveland. A later dis
patch states that five of the cars, containing
about fifty tons of arms, were transferred and

SECESSION may be considered Is defuuct
in this city. The Union sentiment is again
triumphant, and but few men are willing TO
announce themselves to-day as Secessiohists.
One weeks experience of the deadly con-
tagion has overwhelmed the conspirators.
and the Union feeling is now stronger and
deeper than ever. The day Of reckoning
has come, and those who, last week, sustain:
ed by the police, disgraced our city, almost
shrink from the public gaze. The reaction
has been overwhelming in all parts Of the
State, and we are prepared to meet the issue
at the ballot box. Sad as we're the doiprs
ofthe past ten days, they have forever settled
the question of Secession in Maryland. = ll
On Wednesday, our custom house, which
has been the den in which most of this trea-
son has been hatched, will be cleared of ia
traitors, and the new appointees viii AXE
their places. ~ K -
The U. s. flag will be Immediately hoisted
over the custom house, and responded ID
throughout the city, despite the prohibition
of our dictators. The boys are selling nina.
ture Union flags in the streets, and The Se-
cessien flag has disappeared, it being now
regarded as the emblem of our terrible
wrongs. Bait. Cor of the Phila. Press.

Let st. George lead the trembling Canadians 10 NEE, u,
Not like on the plains at Deiro, shall they US,
For instead Of old Hulls they will find we are rocks.
Then let us unite like bold band OF brothers!
At Madon in triumph we'll soon end the strife.

The Union Mus be Preserved
) EEsrat1 Eioaasnt speh by Edwart

A beautiful flag was raised in Chester
Square, Boston, on Saturday afternoon.
After music and prayer, the Hon. Edward
Everett delivered the following speech which
we find reported in the Advertiser:
FELLow-CrTIzENs AND FRIENDS The
great assemblage that j see around me, the
simple but interestipeceremonial with which
the flag of our cd has been thrown to
the breeze, the stra <of inspiring music,
the sweet concert of ese youthful voices,
the solemn supplied B Of the Reverend
clergyman, which sui fills our ears,-all
these proclaim the deep, patriotic sentiment,
of which that Flag is the symbol and ex-
preston. Nay, more, it speaks for itself
Its mute elOquence needs no aid from my
lips to interpret its significance. Fidelity to
the Union blazes from its stars; allegiance
to the Government beneath which we live,
is wrapped within its folds. lai g. Ho.f r. I
We set up this standard, my friends, not
as matter of idle display, but as an express
sive indication that, in the mighty struggle
which has been forced upon us, we. are OF
one heart and one mind that the Govern
ment of the country must be sustained We
are Of a law-abiding, quiet-loving commu-
nifty. Our time, our thoughts, our energies
are habitually devoted to the peaceful arts
bv which States grow and prosper, but upon
an issue in which the life Of the country is
involved, we rally as one man to its defence.
ALI former differences of opinion are swept
away; we forget that we have ever been par
tizans; we remember only that we are
Americans, and that our country is in peril.
And what is it that has kindled this quiet
and peace-loving community to. the present
unexampled excitement-a patriotic unani-
nifty not witnessed even in l775? Why is it,
that the flag of the couutry--always honor
ed, always beloved--is now, all at once, wor'
shipped, / must say, with the passionate
homage of this whole people? Why does
it float, as never before, not merely from ar
senal and masthead, but from tower anG
steeple, from the public edifces, the temple!
of science, the private dwellings, in magnifi
cent display or miniature presentment? p
Let Fort Sumter give the answer Wher
on this day fortnight, Ae 18th of April, [,
day forever to be held in inauspicious re
membrance, like the dies All,en1s in the an
mails of Rome the tidings spread through
the land, that the standard of United Amer
lea, the pledge Of her union and the symbo
of her power, which 70 many gallant heart
had poured out th6F life-blood, on tn,
ocean and the land, a uphold, had, in tn,
harbor Of Charleston, been for day and
half the target for eleven fratricidal batteries
one deep, unanimous, spontaneous feeling
shot with the tidings throdgh the bosoms o
twenty millions of fieemen, that its outrage,
honor must be vindicat6d ~
And, oh, fellow citizens, if, aloof as we ar
from the immediate danger of the conflict

SPEECH BY Hon. JAMES GUTHR1E.-The
Hon. James Guthrie, of Louisville, one of
the Kentucky Commissioners to the WASH
ington Conference, made speech on the
goth ult. at Mumfordsville, on the state of
the Union. He denied the right of secession.
The policy of the Republican party was
wrong, but could be remedied at the ballot
box. The North was not wholly response.
BILE for the election of a sectional candidate
to the Presidency. The South was partly
to blame. He could not find it in his heart
to break up the Union without giving the
Northern Democracy another chance at the
Republicans. He said:
These seeding States have no confidence
in an appeal to the ballot box. But if the
border States determine that the Union shall
not be dissolved, our voice will be potent,
even to bring back these States. X
But we are to be border States, and the
South is determined to go out, hoping that
our sympathies would draw us with them
at every hazard. am not willing to 90 to
that feast until see of what its bounties
consist. II the right of secession is to un-
derlie their system, or be incorporated into
their government, l would prefer setting up
for ourselves to uniting with them.
