Wherefore sing 90 songs Of Union!
Nav they now the storm abate,
And in peaceful, calm communion
Keep each sovereign sister State?
Can they save our flag from trailing
In the dust fanatics raise;
And a nation keep from wailing
O'cc its untold miseries? e..
Angry threats and mad invadinss.
Urged BY passions deep and blind;
False assertions and upbraidinss
Pass not IS the idle wind!
Chords Of love and kindly feeling
One by one have rent IN twaih'
Till between US now revealing
That 10 sympathiss remain.
Union! anthems might forever,
Swelling forth in suppliant strain,
Striva to save US they could never
Re-unitc our hearts again.
Would you ouell this storm alarming,
Bid the tempest yet be calmr
Would you check this fearful arming
Man against his fellow man?
Would you all our stars combining,
Bid their iustre never cease,
And around our heart strings breaking,
Bind the olive.branch Of peace?
Tell the men who now are drifting
Recklessly our Ship Of State
On the rocky shore uplifting;
Tell this story, ere TOO late
That when Scottish knights were bearing
With a small but chosen band,
Bruce's heart in cssket keeping
Till twas laid in Holy Land
And when Moslem hordes o'erwhelln'd them,
Bore them back on every side,
They the casket threw before them:
Onward! To the rescued cried.
Then that band the most defyins,
Strew'd the field with Mosleln slain,
And amid the dead and dying,
Bore aloft the heart again.
Tell the States that now are seeking
To destroy the Union fair,
there's a casket in their keeping,
Which contains q gem more rare.
Hurl the Constitution ever
Mid the blind fanatic herd,
And when strife our States would sever,
Let it be the rallying word!
Then far down the future ages,
AS they stand in Hist'ry's forum,
When no wild contention RACES,
Stars and stripes may get wave o er them

Tbs receipts of produce to-day were heavy
Amounting In -four and grain to 49a, ,63S bushels.
This heavy supply, a1ong with the unfavorab1e ad-
vices brought by the European steamer yesterday,
had depressing effect On the leading markets, and
prices tended strongly downwards.
There was q fafr inquiry by shippers for spring
extra flour, and the market was easier and more
actiye-pr1ces showing decline Of SC per brl
Winter wheat brands, however, were very dull and
the market was neglected. About 8, ZOO barrels Of
al grades changed hands, at $3.o9@4 rs for low

@50c for Rejected sprtug-the market closing
with rather better feeling than at the opening.
The heayy supply Of corn-sss55,5o5 bushels

and cot very much disposition to sell ut that price
stu. there Is healthy feeling with regard to the
'atal policy which has heretofore prevailed. OF
running up prices ut this season Of the year, and
toereny inducing an increase In the receipts which
Las never failed to Gepress the market end cause
reaction. This is to be guarded against this
season' ahd there is a very proper caution e1er
elsed by helders. A slow and gradual advance
"ll DO more to help the trade than sudden and
forced buoyancy.
The news from the country dealers is rather
mofe encouraging; but the demand is yet eorpar-
atiEe15 light. The extreme low prices Of produce
tends TO restrict trade.
