ITeseI In the United States, and has don,
the work Of thirty years in three. He fpprove
OF til,rg up the old canal, and fsvors the cree
ton OF library for Congress as speedily and a
efficiently as possible. He bee Bme satisfied
from CONVEX sltOD with public men and cog
niZsnce Of the evidence, that nothing more
than favoritism and extravaganza had beer
proved by the inveStigatiOn, nsw NJ arly fp
lshed, and spoke In the highest terms OF Mr
William G.. Moore, whom he knew in the War
department as a feilOw-cleTk, and in severe
language OF the worthless character OF Chicago
bunmers who broke down the Macdonald mi
istry in Canada with one OF their railro4i
schemes, and then visited Washington on err

MIR. White appre hends that there NAV be
a pool formed TO buy up the District bonds
abroad and press them upon Congress, parton
Isriy II our interest should be unpaid next year
But If this be so well anticipated, why not prl
pare Tor II by SIMPLE act of prOpriety? Let
the government pay its taScs and improvement
bills now. We raise a certain sum per anHum
on f0Tty-hve per cent. of the property,-say
Geo, 600. There is no reason in equity or SOUND
law, or good example why this should not be
assessed annually. The effect will be to meet
all bills for interest and expenses, and give u.
an annual fund to continue improvements; and
meantime the rise of property and increase OF
buildings and population will gradually raise
the city to sOlvency and self-suppOrt. IL the
country would be more just it would have less
TO investigate.

Nd May Il, 1874.
For seventy years our pious sires
Were prisoners by their household fires,
The priest forbid their gates to pass,
TO preach the word and say the mass.
Ali:
Praise God our land j. ours again!
The cross no more is hid from men.
Their private chapels meekly grew
Beside the mansions of the few,
And there they ate the mystic feast,
And sheltered aye the hunted priest.
All:
Praise God our land is ours again!
The cross Lo more is hid from men.
The chalice hid beneath his gown
The English Father stole to town,
His vestments in u beggar's sack,
The altar plate upon his back.
Praise God our land is ours againl
The eress 10 more is hid from men.

The poer Acadians hushed their sighs,
The tears of exile in their eyes,
And when he raised the sanity host
Twas love again at Pentecost.
All:
Praise God our land is ours again!
The cross no more is hid from men.
The ancient planter lost his farms;
They took his children from his arms,
Because the faith their father bore
VI Gentle Lords OF Baltimore.
All:
Praise God our land Is ours again,
The cross no more is hid from men.
Long, long the years without relax
OF social spite Or double tax;
Our patient thousands felt the rod,

ALI:
Praise Geo our land is ours again!

The gates they opened wide to all,
Were shut TO them without recall;
In al the PROVINCES ex yanse,
They, only, knew no tolerance.
Praise GOD our land is ours again!
The cro,s no more is hid from men.
But still the cross the night survived;
The day Of liberty arrived.
Forth from their hooks the clergy came,
With hearts of zeal and lips of hame.
All:
Praise God our land is ours again.
The cross no more is hid from men.

Their steadfast congregations rose,
Like good wheat warmed below the SHOWS;
And sparkling highest stood the cross.

Come, brethren, come with pilgrim feet,
Around the coDsecrated seat,
Where i'll the age of bondage old,
The jesuit fathers warmed the fold.

In our own land OF Maryland.

Praise God our land is ours again!
The cross no more il hid from men.
