With that air line thus located, who believes

the Abolitionists have long seen. Hence their
persistent efforts to destoy this Union, when

because it protects and maintains the insti-
tuition of slavery.
If them the border slave States have grievan-
ces to complain of,-and no impartial man
doubts it,-they must not look to secession as
the mode of redress, until after they have una
vailingly exhausted every means inside OF the
Union. Gov. Hicks, of Maryland, speaks fortf

REQUIEM.
BY COMET QUIRLs.

Sable serge, ebon plume,
Bring the gloomy pail,
Toll the knell, quench the light,
Liberty doth fall.
Beat the drum, draw the sword,
Chain the hero hands;
Droop the stars, cross-bones wave,
Over traitor lands.
Warriors pride, statesmen's hope,
Lower in the dust;
Chant the dirge, heap the sods,
Over moth and rust.
One by one, altar stones,
Seam and fall apart
Drop by drop, drain the blood,
From the patriot heart.
Justice frowns, Peace has fed,
Furl the Tapping sail:
Slow aud sad, drift the ship,
On to meet the gale.
Fearless eye, soaring wing,
Clotted are with red:
Rend the Stripes, hide the Stars,
Eagle hope is dead.
Washington Lafayette ]
Marion and Greene!
Start from death, 10 ! your sons,
Enact Arnold's dream.
Prophets pray, sages teach,
Liberty is dear:
Proven false, men of blood,
Garry out the bier.
Brand it deep, iron time,
Under White is Black:
Outward right, inward wrong,
Drift the nation back.
Rend the links, Freedoms cap,
Lies upon the ground
Draw the sword, cut the bands,
Union Jack is down.
Sable serge, ebon plume,
Bring the gloomy pail.
Toll the knell, quench the light,
Liberty doth fall.

The S. F. Times.

This paper famed for its radical Republican,
ism-approaching Abolitionism about as nearly
as one blackeyed pea resembleth another IN
similitude-bids his party :" stand hrm' ana
Weld not one iota for the sake of compromise
The editor denounces compromises, says he
cannot understand the constitutional compro-
mises' referred to by Seward, and in effect de-
clares the fate of the Republican party must not
be ieopardized for the sake of preserving the
Union
We understand that Washburn, the editor OF
the Times. is now in the East, office seeking, and
| that his paper is now edited by Frank Soule,
formerly editor of New Orleans paper, subse-
ouently Wing Senator from San francisco,
and for ten years connected with the California
nress. We believe Mr.. Soule married a daugh-
ter of the South, whose body now lies moulder-
;no beneath a Southern soil. We remember
that once. while member of our State Senate,
he uttered apiece Of most inpassioned eloquence
in euloey of that dead Southern wife, which
went the rounds Of the press here and in the
eastern States. 1t is little strange that a man
who once loved the sunny South" as did Frank
Soule. and who so adored when living, and wor'
Skinned when dead one of her daughters, should
now that his love of that land seems to nave
baen tnrned to hate-permit her bones to re
