but not certain, that Wright Dem. is elected

Our BANNER.-Joseph Holt, in a letter to
the citizens of Kentucky, speaks thus of the
Star Spangled Banner;
:. Let us twine each thread of the glorious
tissue of our country flag about our heart
strings; and looking upon our homes, and
clutching the spirit that breathes upon US from
the battlefield of our fathers, let us resolve
that come veal or woe, we will, in life and in
death, now and forever stand by the Stars and
stripes. They have foated over our cradles ;
let it be our prayer and our struggle that they
shall float over our graves. They have been
unfurled from the SHOWS of Canada to the
plains ofNew Orleans, and to the halls of the
Montezumas, and amid the solitudes of every
sea and everywhere, as the luminous svmdol
OF resistless and beneicent power. they have
led the brave and the free to victory and to
glory. 1t has been my fortune to look upon
this flag IN foreign lands and amid the gloom
Ct an oriental despotism, and right well do
know how bright are its stars, and how sub
lime are its inspirations. Ifthis banner, the
emblem for us of all that is grand in human
history, and of all that is transporting in hui
man hope, is to be sacrificed on the altars of a
Satanic ambition. and thus disappear forever
amid the night and tempest of revolution. then
VIII iceland who shall estimate the desc.
lation OF that ttceling-that the sun has indeed
been stricken from the sky of our lives and
that henceforth we shall be but wanderers
and outcasts, with naught but the bread of
sorrow and penury for our lips. and with
hands ever outstretehed in feebleness and
supphcation, on which at any hour :. military
ttyrant may riyet the feIters of despairing
bondage. May God, in his infinite mercy
save you and me. and the land we So mncL
hove, from the doom of such a degradation ;;

THE Importance of this revolution is not
at all partisan. 1t is as proof of the en-
during strength and universally of the Uni
on sentiment that we rejoice over it. Good
men and patriots have (not unreasonably)
apprehended that the continual extension of
the boundaries of our Republic must weak
en- the cohesion of its parts, until it's unity
would ultimately fall victim to sectional
interests or repulsions. 1t V as confidently
pr ,dlcted, only last Spring, by Northern
pander to Disunion, that the Southern schism
would be followed by division of the old
Union into an Eastern, Central, Western
and Pacific Confederacy. California re-
flutes this by casting three fourths of her
vote unequivocally for the Union, in the face
of the Bull Run disaster and the imposition
of heavy taxes by Congress in support of the
War for the Union. If California could ever
be seduced into Secession. this was the time ;
yet her vote for the only ticket suspected of
Secession proclivities is fraction probably
far below the number of her citizens who are
natives of Slave States. Disunion is every
where confined to the besotted devotecs of
the Slave Power, and probably does not
count among its votaries majority of the
more intelligent and wealthy Shareholders
whose property is put at hazard by the rebel.
