Lines, Dedicated to Gov. Hicks

by EMILY D. CARROLL.
All honor to the hero brave
Who nobly battles for the right,
Who mid the fathless faithful stands,
A star amid the gathering night.
When through our fair and fertile land
R"ged fierce and loud disunions cry,
Unmoved, and firm the patriot stood,
Resolved to guard our flag or die
The land for which our fathers died,
The flag for which they nobly fought,
Shall traitors rend that flag in twain
That by such precious blood was bought?
Up ! patriots, up! your country calls
And will ye idly list the cry
Up up! and guard your native land,
Or iu her battles bravely die.
And honor ye the loyal heart,
The noble, true, and manly hand
OF him who stands unmoved and firm,
Resolved to guard his native land.

The "Peace" Party in Maryland
seems to be very badly seconded in its
benevolent efforts by the Confederate
soldiery that is invading Kentucky
The Union men of the latter asked for
peace, but Gen. Polk gave them the
sword, while the Tennessee journals con-
fess that no other policy was ever thought
of.
The Louisville Democrat states the
case in few words. 1t says:
n is no longer peace that is to be
sought an Kentucky, Int safety. It is too
late to ask for peace. The fat has gone
forth declaring that Kentucky shall be
coerced into the Southern Confed eracy !;
that there never acas any other intention
The declaration is accompanied by the
act ofinvasion."

The First SeceSsl0nist.

Among the decorated envelopes which
have sprung up in such great variety
since the attack of the insurrectionists
upon Fort Sumter, is one which is adorn-
ed with the first secessionist. The dark
color of the figure might cause it to be
taken, by a casual observer, for the
likeness of some negro who had seeded
from the field gang of Southern mas :
ter. But a closer inspection discovers
the horns, the vast bat like wings, the
barb-pointed tail and the cloven foot,
which medieval Imagination assigned to
the arch enemy of mankind. It is in
verify Sathanis himself and never was
there truer designation of him. He
it was who first rebelled against the be-
nefcent rule of right, because it re-
strained his evil will and repressed his
bad ambition. He it was who first
plotted and conspired, and drew the third
part of heaven after him his motive be-
ing merely that disappointment which
one of his distinguished emulators on
this planet and in these times with ex-
quisite simplicity and candor, owned was
at the bottom of The secession insurrec-
tion The secessionists prate of sfree

they have de6ed the Constitution and
the Government is just that freedom
which he sought when he vainly rose
against the Omnipotent. This Milton

and so he makes the fallen cherub'

"Here at least
We shall be free; tho Almighty hath not
built
Here for his envy; will not drive us hence
Here we may reign secure +; and in my choice
To reign is worth ambition, though in hell.
Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven"
This is the very spirit of secession.
The Union and its Government have
been benefcencc itself to the South
They have given it the very strength
that now makes them formidable But
in this beneficent Union they last Au-
tumn ceased to rule; and therefore it is
that they now rebel against it, and seek

II Will not Fire Upon that Flag >

BY A. JONES, U. s. A.
II will not fire upon that fag;"
So glorious and so fair;

The immortal standard there.
ri will not fire upon that hag,"
The rainbow Of the skies
Hath given her glory all to thee,
And bathed thee in her dyes.
81 will not fire upon that flag"
Streaked with the morning light
While the vestal vault Of heaven
Lends thee her orbs of night
That flag its glorious stars and stripes
A fathers blessings bear
And with the rustling of its folds
Is blent mothers prayer.
Beneath the shadow Of thy folds
long once more to turn
AS wings the dove its homeward fight
Before the impending storm.
Bright vision of my youthful days
Banner of heavenly dyes
Thy radiant glories DER me shed,
And fix my dying eyes.
Heaven preserve that gallant flag,
That banner of the free
Come veal or woe, what i'll betide,

the warning of Lord Chatham to the
British Parliament
"My Lords, you cannot conquer Amer
ca" A public debt of hundr DIS of mil
lions, weighing us and our posterity
down for generations, we cannot escape.
Fortunate shall we be if we escape with
our liberties. 1t is no longer so much
question of war with the South, as
whether we ourselves are to have consti-
tutions and a republican form of govern
ment hereafter in the North and West.
In brief: am for the Constitution
first, and at all hazards; for whatever
can now be saved of the UNION next and
for PEACE always as essential to the pres
ervation of either. But whatever any
one may think Of the war, one thing, at
least, every lover of Liberty ought to do
mand inexorably: that it shall be carried
on strictly subject to the Constitution.
The peace policy was tried ; it arrested
secession, and promised restoration OF
the Union. The policy of war is now
upon trial in twenty days it has driver
four States and four millions and halfo
people out of the Union and into tn,
Coniederacy of the South. In a littl
while longer it will drive out also, two o
four more States, and two millions o
three millions of people. War may. in
deed be the policy Of the EAST bu
peace is a necessity to the WEST.
