OUR NATIONAL CRISIS.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

From the New York Tribune, April Il.
Let no one feel that our present troubles
are deplorable, in view OF the majestic
development Of Nationality and Patriotism
which they have occasioned. But yester-
day wc were esteemed a sordid, grasping,
money-loving people, too greedy OF gain
to cherish generous and lofty aspirations.
To-day vindicates us from that reproach,
and demonstrates that, beneath the scum
and Stag Of forty years Of peace, and in
spite OF the insidious approaches Of corrup-
ton, the fires of patriotic devotion are
still intensely burning. The echoes Of
the cannon fired at Sumter have barely
rolled over the Western hills ere they are
drowned in the shouts Of indignant free
men, demanding to be led against traitors
who have plotted to divide and destroy
the country Party lines disappear--par-
men forget that they were Democrats
or Republicans in the newly aroused and
intense consciousness that they are Amer
leans. The ordeal now upon US may cost
our country many lives and much treasure,
but its fruits Will be richly worth them
all. But few weeks have elapsed since
babbling demagogues were talking OF an
Eastern, Central, North " estern, and
a Pacific as well as a South-W estern and
a Border-State Confederacy; let them now
be silent little and note the cost Of divi-
ding the Union barely once, before they
talk further of shivering it into five or six
fragments. The experience will be con-
elusive Let but this trial be surmounted,
and no one will again plot the dissolution
of the Union for at least half century.
We feel confident that the Presidents
call for Seventy five Thousand Militia
from all the loyal States will be responded
to within thirty days by proffers of more
than One Hundred Thousand from the
Freq States alone, and that this number
can be doubled upon mere suggestion
that the additional number is desired

THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER.


OH say can you see by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's 5
last cleaning?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through
the perilous fight,
Der the ramparts we hailed were so gall
latnly streaming;
And the rockets red glare, the bombs burst
ins in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag
was still therel
Oh, say does the Star Spangled Banner yet
wave,
Der the land of the free and the home of
the brave?
On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the
deep,
Where the foes naughty host in dread ST
lence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, Ger the tow
ering steep,
As it ftfully blows, half conceals half dis
closes?
Now it catches the CLEAN of the morning
first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on the
stream
'Tis the Star Spangled Bannerl oh, long may
it wave,
Ger the land of the free and the home OF
the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly
swore,
Mid the havoc of war and the battles con-
fusion,
: home and country should greet US no
more?
Their blood shall wash out their foul foot
steps pollution;
No refuge can save the hireling and slave
From the terror of fight, or the gloom OF
the grave;
And the Star Spangled Banner! in triumph
shall wave
Der the land of the free, and the home of the
brayel
OH thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the wars
desolation.
Blest with victory and peace may the heay'n
rescued land
Praise the power that hath made and pre-
served US a nation;
Then conquer we must, for our cause it is
just,
Let this be our mottc-In God be trust
And the Star Spangled Banner in triumph
shall wave,
Ger the land Of the free, and the home of
the brave!
