Oh, who would dare sever that blue field Of stars,
SO gloriously waving DER every sea?
While the torch of Freedom each breast still fires,
Nor A son of our brave ancestral sires
Uh, who would sever those gorgeous stripes
The first rays of morn on the fcecy sky?
Uh. where is the traitor whod put forth his arm
To strike that flag from its station on high?
All, brand him as traitor-may none speak his name
But that it be coupled with treason and shame |!
Arise We patriots! and stand by your flag,
Let Death be the victor who rends it in twain!

HANOVER COUNTY, July 70, 1861.
IL the Editors of the Dispatch. l observe i'll
your paper OF yesterday some excellent sug
ges items, copied from Nashville paper, urg-
ing the import lance OF preparing 4 timely and
abundant supply OF winter clothing for our
soldiers.
1t is equally important, and more immedi-
ately necessary, to supply our soldiers moo
Wi tn tents. More than two thirds of them
are without tents. There can be no possible
excuse given for this. Those who have charge
of this department know, and have known
all the time, that the cotton factories of Fir-
ginia, North Carolina. and Georgia, can make
cotton duck which is the best material for
tents, and that they could make enough of 1t
in three weeks 10 shelter the whole Army.
Instead of ordering the necessary supply OF
this material to be made, they have sent
thousands of soldiers 10 the field with nothing
bur the canopy Of heaven 10 shelter them
II there were no other motive than seif-lnter-
est TO govern in this matter, one would
think that that alone would have remedied
tins objectionable neglect.
Keep 1t before the people until something Is
done. ClvIs

THE GREAT SPEECH OF SENATOR BREcKIYKIpGE

The GREAT SPEECH OF SENATOR BREcKIYRIpGE
The Newark New Jersey Journal pays the
following Just mpliment TO the recent patri-
otto speech Of Senator Breckenridge, in the
the bayonets of forty thousand Federals, his
manly voice rang out in trumpet tones in re-
bnke of the President and his usurpations
The Voice IF u PatriOt-Hon John g.
Brec kinridge, of Kentucky, occupied the at
tention Of the Senate on Tuesday, in discuss.
ing the resolution approving the unconstitu-
tional acts OF the President. His speech is a
master piece of logical eloq uence, Judging from
the telegraphic abstract which has reached us
L is a noble defence of the Con stitntion and
the laws, against the usurpations and tyranny
OF the Executive, in plunging the country in to
a sectional, civil war, without warrant OF law
or legal authority.
Iur. Brec klnTidge commended that Congress
by resolution, could not make cons titu tional
what is unconstitu tional by the same authorj-
ty, and that such approval would be adding TO
the subversiols of the Cons titution already
accomplished. SO far from appro wing the
Presidents acts, he thought that officer should
be rebuked by both houses Of Congress He re-
oapitulatsd the various gross out TRACES COM
mtted by the Executive upon the constit
tional rights OF the people, reviewing the his
tory or the country since the 4th of March
concluding with a reference TO the numerous
efforts at compromise WHICH had been made
by conservative citizens, which the South had
been willing to accept, but which had been
persistently refused and ruled out of order
by the dominant party.
