American National Songs.

In lecture on the Song. of the
Marching Soldier, George Alfred
| Townsend says in substance:
Contrasted with the coarse, crude
songs of the Revolutionary war, we have
founded real lyric school. That long
contest produced no great ballad; We
only know that the jerking and nasal
numbers Of Yankee Doodle" were good
enough for our fathers, and that they
sang themselves very tipsv over the
Battle of the Kegs" The French revo-
luton, clamorous with choruses of the
armies OF every land, reacted upon
us who inspired it in no one song for
freedom. During the war of 1872 we
produced two or three sets of verses 10
very venerable tunes. The Star Span
gled Banner by traditional priority
and the dignity of its cadences. has be
, come the national anthem. The true
ballad literature of America began in
negro minstrelsy. and from those plains
OF cotton and corn, rice and sugar, where
the deadly issue of slavery has just been
decreed rose on the catches of the weary
field hand the first rude aspiration of ma
tional music.
BY strong correspondence of senti-
iHGHt. the etuCItcu ~ TlcS cl tie country
took 10 their theme the shame of vassa-
lage and were embodied in the anti
slavery poems of Whittier and Longfel-
low. The first American song that rose
clear and high above the jar of laws and
commerce. was the lyric Of the ''Flaunt
ing Lie, written by Charles L. Halpine,
better known as miles O Reilly" an
Irish American of the State of Massa-
chusetts. The song bears out in full
the declaration of that sage, who cared
not who made the laws of the nation, so
he composed its slaves, and placed il at
the beginning of our national lyrical
literature, because it was written at that
period when slavery and humanity began
their long contention for the possession
of the Union. The nation morally con-
sidered, was born with this song. The
"Flaunting Lie" took the anti slavery
question out Of the hands of reformers
and put in the mouths of the people,
who afterwards fought slavery out of the
Government. The author of it, who
would have been hanged by his country
men ten years ago for writing it, has
won and maintained the formost place
among the posts of the war.

What is an Ex Post Facto Law?

The decision Of Supreme Court OF
Missouri, upon the validity OF the test
oath which Is required by the Constitu-
ton of that State from all Clergyman, is
of some interest apart from the particu-
lar subject IN dispute, In consequence of
the peculiar views taken by the Court
upon sEbject upon which there is con
slant discussion throughout the country.
The Missouri Constitution demands OF
Ministers OF the Gospel, of all sects,
before they can be allowed 10 perform
Divine service, an oath which bears re
lation 10 the question of Secession. and
requires from the atlantis direct declara-
ton that they had no part in the Rebellion,
or sympathy with it. There has been
violent opposition to the oath by clergy.
men of different sects. the Roman Cstho-
lies taking the lead. Upon the trial Of
one OF the clergymen of the latter sect,
who had exercised his functions without
having taken the oath, it was set up, on
the part of the defendant, that the article
of the Constitution which requires the
test oath Is in CONFIRMATION to that por
ton of the Constitution of the United
States which prohibits the States from
passing bills OF attainder or ex post facto
laws, but the Suprme Court of Missouri
say that those provisions cannot be made
available In the present case There is
no attainder proposed by the stipulation
that an oath shall be taken by an in
dividual.-Should he refuse 10 do so he
forfeIts neither life nor property, and
loses nothiug,-Nor is the Constitutions! a!
provision an eiaIYut facto law. 1t is
true that it proposes to require a solemn
statement that certain facts have not
transpired in the personal history of the
clergyman. If he will not take the oath
he forfeits nothing it is true that he
cannot exercise his religious functions !;
he Is under disability; but he is not
punished for what he has done; the oath
Is demanded as a secretary for the future
Under these constructions the Supreme
Court decide that the oath is not rsnaen-
stitutional, as it interferes with nc9 civil
or religious right more than is necessary
to be done for the good of society.
