Of the New York Tribune:
THE DEATH OF COMPROMISE.
The report OF the first hostile gun which
was discharged however, proclaimed to the
world that all chances Of a peaceful adjust
ment were over; that Heaven in anger for a
moment, had suffered hell to take the reins''-
LAT Pantg0rsTs box was opened again, and the
deadest plaques known To earth, let loose 10
curse ii; but Ike that repository of evils, hope
yet smiled at the bottom. Argument and
opinion were thrust aside for violence aud
blood " it'll deliberate preparation Is it strange
that tbs natural elements synpaihized with
she occasion, as the intelligence was flashed
through the hand? 4 SHEET of cimmeriau

owe. ,ae earth the winds moaned heavily, like
ire sai o. spirits lost-door creaked and

roaring ca;arac,s; but the hoarsc and startling
shriek oi the New York pewsboy rose above
ali with the appalling cry, 1.-The hvlnbardment
of Fort Sumter, and
''Have signs OF woe
That all was lost
The blood iend laughed aloud; the evil
genius Of humanity claprrd his hands in tri-

children.
TIE UPRISING OF THE PEOPLE.
The first flash of artillery kinded anew
fame of patriotic devotion to country, which
will burn with pure and constant glow, when
the lamp Of mortal existence shall pale and
flicker in death. Its first reverbcrations upon
the air aroused slumbering love of Consti-
tuition and of Union, and of the cherished en-
blem Of all, the Stars and Strips, which will
not again seek repose until the roar of hostile
guns shall be sileneed. II started to their
feet, as if by a common impulse twenty mil
lions OF freep'en, 10 guard the citadel OF their
faith from destruction, as war was driving his
ebon car upon his reniorseless mission.
.-.- FOREIGN INTERFERENCE,
And, if great power Of Europe is disposed

Government and this people cam be driven by
the menance of foreign AMI domestic forces

try the experiment. But when they come, to
stve time aud travel, let them bring duly
executed quit-claim, TO the Union, for such
portions of the \ North American Continent

GIVE UP THE UNION?-NEyER
Shall we then surrender to turbulence and
flction, and rebellion, and give up the Union
with all lis eleHenls Of good, all its halIowed
associations all its holy memories all its blood
bought history?
''Nu lot engle change his plume
Tue leaf its hue, the flower It's bloom
But do not give up the Union. Preserve it
to =" flourish in immortal youth" until it is
dissolved amid the wreck of matter and the
crash of worlds" Let the patriot and the
statesman stand by it to the last, whether as
