From the New York Tribune.l
All hail the Haunting Liel
The stars grow pale and dim;
The stripes are bloody sears,
Lie the vauDting hymnl
1t shields pirates deck
Ii binds man in chains,
1t yokes the captive's neck,
And wipes the bloody stains.
Tear down the Haunting Liel
Half mast the starry 1agl
Insult no sunny sky
With hates polluted ragl
Destroy it We who can
Deep sink it in the waves
1t bears a fellow man
To groan with fellow slaves.
Furl, furl the boosted Lie!
Till Freedom lives again,
To rule once more IN truth
Among untrammeled men.
Roll up the starry sheen,
Conceal its bloody stains
For in its fold are seen
The stamp of rustline chains.

Union might possibly be dissolved and Virginia
driven out. We quote brief specimens.
