defense. Rebellion can lay down its arms t,

Give up the Cnion! this fair and fertil,

Give ap the Union with its glorious flag,
its stars and stripes, full of proud and pleas
ing and honora bic recolections, for the spu-
rious invention with no antecetlents but the
history of a violated Constitution and oil
lawless ambition? No let US stand by the
emblem OF our Etthers.
''Fl.g OF tha fres hearts cps an home,
By angel hands to Eal"r gwen.
Thy stars have lit the wrIkin d II.
and all thy huea ars bora in Heaven"
Ask the Christian TO exchange the cross
with the cherished memories of Saviors
love, for the crescent ofthe impostor. or TO ad-
dress his prayers TO ths Juggernaut or Josh
instead of the living and true God! but sHs-
tain the emblem yonr fathers loved and cher
ished. Give up the Union? NEVER. The
Union SHALL endure, and its praise shall be
heard when its friends and foes, those who sup
port and those who assail, those who bare
their bosoms in It's defeuce, and those who aim
their daggors at its heart, shall all sleep in the
dust together. Its name shall be heard with
veheration among the roar of the Pacifc's
waves, away upon the rivers OF the North and
East, where liberty is divided from monarchy
and be waited in gentle breezes upon the Rio
Grapds. 1t shall rustic in the harvest, and
waive IN the standing corn, on the extended
prairies of the West, AMI be beard in the blea-
ting folds and lowing herds upon thousand
hills. 1t shall be with those who delve in the
mines, and shall hum in The manufactures of
New England, ard in the cotton gins of the
South. 1t shall be proclaimed by the Stars
and Stripes in every sea of the earth, as the
American Union, one ard indvisible upon
the great thoroughfares, whenever steam drives
and engines throb and shrek, its greatness and
perpetuity shall be hailed with gadness. 1t
shall be lisped in the earliest words, and ring
in the merry voices Of childhood, and swell to-
Heaven upon the songs Of maidens. 1t shall
live in the stern resolves of manhood, and rise
to the mercy scat upon womun's gentle, avail
ing prayer. Holy men shall invoke its per
petuity at the altars ofrcligion, and it shall be
whispered in the last accents of expiring age.
Thus shah survive aud be perpetuated the
American UniOn, and when it shall fall, and
the good shall be gathered to a moro perfect
Union still, may the destiny oil our dear land
realize the conception, that
" Perfumes Of Eden flowed swesty along,
And voice, as of Angels, enchantingly sung,
Columbia, Columbia, To glory arise,
