'Bove those who dare TO be.
Despite the threats of friends, and foes.
The sons Of liberty.
Each fiutter in the breeze doth speak
Doth seem this truth to tell
That freedom which our fathers gave
Was never made to SELL.
Flow on-a stern rebuke to those
Who wish the fatal hour,
When free-borE spirits shall be crushed
Beneath the weight of power.
Forever wave mock to those
Who scorn their brothers call,
Lest their boarded gold should melt,
Or stocks perchance might fall.
Flow on, proudly through the storm,
The patriots beacon light,
There's many an eye now turned to thee
That gladdens at the sight;
And when desnotic minions dare
To blot the from the sky,
A countless host shall gather round
To bear the up or die.

Letter form Mr.. Pryor.

The following letter from Hon. Roger A.
Pryor, the brilliant young Virginian, will be
read with interest:
WASHINGTON CRY, Goth Dec, 1860.
To- DR.. U2. H. CAeatham:
NV Dear Sir-Accept my thanks for your
kindness in FURNISHING me the list of names,
&C. 1t is service which highly appreciate.
In response to your inquiry touching the state
of the Republic, | regret to be compelled to an
swcr that [ see no chance of preserving the
Union, consistently with the rights of the
South. In all probability, South Carolina will
to-day adopt an ordinance of secession; and
the prevalent impression here is that the other
Gulf States viii speedily rally to her support.
The border Sta,es will not follow so soon, but
events Will oblige them to abandon the Union.
1t is evident that the North will give us no
guarantees. They are rather mending their
hold; aud the committee of thirty -threeis more
likely to report plan of coercion than
system Of pacifcation. The Black Republicans
are beginning to be cmboldene5 by the evidence
ofsubmiSSion IN certain Southern States. 1t
Virginia and other border States had promptly
backed South Carolina, the South might have
eXtorted her own conditions, and SO the Union
would have been secure
As it is, | repeat, nothing can avert the over
throw Of the Contederacy, All parties here
despair Of that achievement; and the efforts of
the country from the horrors Of civil war |
question if they can succeed in the attemp I
see among the Black Republicans and few
persons of ether parties, a spirit of suilen re-
solve to brig the issue to the arbitrament of
the sword 70 be prepared for either
tuaity, Virginia shostld at once assume
an attitude of armed expectation For
Gods sake do not let her lower the Southern
flag. Any betrayal Of infrm purpose would
only precipitate the collision The only safe
ty of the South is in the union of the slaychold
ing States. Suppress, if you please, every
whisper of resentment and relroach against
other Southern States Declare your rights
and proclaim your purpose to maintain
them at every hazard For myself, have been
silent so fal., that I might oppose no i,npedi
ment to a conciiation When the issue is
made up, Will speak my mind Meanwhile,
| have an idea of publishing an address to my
constituents, stating the posture of affairs Let
me hear FROM you and believe nae truly your
