What flower is this that greets the morn,
It's hues from heaven 50 freshly born?
With burning star and flaming band
IT kindles all the sunset land:
0, tell US what its name may be
Is this the Flower of Liberty?


It is the banner Of the free,


The starry Flower of Liberty.
In savage Natures far abode
Its tender seed our fathers sowed
The storm-winds rocked its swelling bud,
It's opening leaves were streaked with blood,
Till, lo earth's tyrants shook to see
The full-blown Flower of Liberty


Then hail the banner of the free,


The starry Flower of Liberty,
Behold its streaming rays unite
One mingling food of braided light
The red that fires the Southern rose,
With spotless white from Northern SHOWS.
And, spangled DER its azure, see
The sister Stars Of Liberty.


Then hail the banner of the free,


The starry Flower of Liberty
The blades of heroes fence it round;
Where'er it springs is holy ground;
From tower and dome its glories spread;
1t waves where lonely sentries tread;
1t makes the land as ocean free,
And plants an empire on the sea,


Then hail the banner of the free,


The starry flower of Liberty!
Thy sacred leaves, fair Freedoms flower,
Shall ever float on dome and tower,
To all their heavenly colors true,
In backening frost or crimson dewa
And God love us as we love thee,
Thrice holy Flower of Liberty


Then hail the banner of the free,


The starry FLOWER OF LIBERTY!

1t is the constant boast Of the Republicans that
they will whip the Cotton States into obedience.
There are two or three considerations worthy of
notice in this threat. In the first place, it sounds
very much like the bullying which they arc in the
habit OF considering as purely Of Southern origin.
In the second place, the very curious might en-
quire why it was that these sanity gentlemen de-
sired to force a fellowship with barbarians, blood
hounds, slave-breeders, slavedrivers, and dealers
in their own flesh and bloodi Why it was that
they were not glad to get rid Of such heathensb,
poverty-stricken. and goddess set Of outlaws and
scamps; and at the Same time wash their own
hands of all connection with the "accursed insttu-


ion?" In the third place ii would not be amiss to
conjecture whether these gentlemen who are so
brave in their numbers, and so fiery in courage,
when backed by the National 20 wer, intend to 90
down into the fever swamps of South Carolina
and Florida and perform this little joke Of whip
ping half dozen States into obedience, them
selves; or whether they expect to do all the gass
ing, as usual ge: fat contracts to supply the army
under old Abe, and let Democrats and their "vo-
ting caRle" do che 6ghting2


In ths fourth and most important place how is
that ltslt modest operation Of whipping and hang
ing thsR.cle South going to turn out: We say
tbe whole South, for as sure as the sun rises and
sets in the heavens, the very moment that South
ern blood flows by on Abolition government the
outpests of your enemy will be transferred from
the banks OF the Pedee to those OF the Pontomac
and Ohio The man who doubts this neither COM
prehends the Southern people nor the times in
which he lives If there is to be war, there viii be
one, net between the General Government and a
State but one between the whole North and the
whole South. This is certain, and it is we'll for u.s.
when we determine to whip somebody, to know
beforehand who is to be the customer We have to
handle.


We must calculate, when the process does COM
mepce, to keep it up just long there is bread
TO eat, or man to pull trigger in the Southern
States; for, in spite of your taunts, they are
brave and heroic people, and will perish in Ge-
fence of their homes and their honor. When you
have killed few hundred thousands, just take
breath a little and look around you aud you will
see plenty more such ready to be fogged. You can
do great deal of mischief, but it will be very
ugly and two-sided game; and if nothing else will
do, o,foreign aid will be called at any sacrifice rather
than submit to you. Upon the whole we advise
our Republican friends to quit talking so much
about whipping people into the traces. 1t has an
ugly sound, and tends greatly to aggravate and
enough to talk of killing other people when we
have got right ourselves, and have other resort

Senator Pugh made a speech in Cincinnati on
the 31st ult., in which he said:-


There was nothing more clearly written in the
Constitution of the United States than that the fu-
gitive slave that escaped from his master into a
free State should not by that act become Free but
should on demand be delivered up. II this was
too hard condition for us Of the free States to
observe, why let us go at it manfully, and amend
the Constitution. Do it like men. This thing of
going about slipping around, and speaking side
ways, and getting up a war of Constables and jus
tices of the Peace and Probate Judges, TO evade
constitutional law-met with his unu!terable con-
tempt. tremendous appausel


Mr.. Pugh reviewed at length the legislation of
the State of Ohio in respect to the rendition of fu
gitive slaves. He quoted the law of 1856. and in
stanced the imprisonment of Deputy Marshals in
Green county. This law gave the Probate Judge
authority to issue his writ of ha6eas corpus to be
served not only in his own county, but throughout
the State. This law had been repealed by party
vote-the Republicans against repeal, the Demo-
Gratis for it, The same Legislature that had enac-
ted this law thus repealed, had enacted that, if
anybody brought slave into the State, even for
minute, such person was subjected 10 fine and i'm
prisOnment II sick Southern lady for instance,
should bring her nurse with her, and stop at the
Spencer or Burnot House, she might be imprson;
ed and fined.


This too had been wiped out. 1t had been in
tended by the Legislature of 1857 to wipe out oil
this legislation, but some of il had been forgot

Mr.. Pugh here gave history Of the passage of
the act by the Legislature Of last winter to forbid
the use of the county jsils for the confinement Of
fugiiveS from service. The wording of the statute
was that United States prisoners should be allowed
in the county jails only wheu they had been
guilty Of crime" This law, Mr.. Pugh argued,

party has found within the article establishing the
Executive Department the means of subverting
the Constitution itself. A geographical line has
been drawn across the Union and all the States
north of that line have united ia the election Of q
man to the high Office OF President OF the United
States, whose opinions and purposes are hostile to
Slavery. lie lie to be intrusied with the admins
tration of the common Government, because he
has declared that that Government cannot endure
permanently half slave, half free," and that the
public mind must rest in the belief that Slavery is
in the course of ultimate extinction.


This sectional combination for the subversion of
the Constitution has been aided 10 some OF the
States by elevating to citizenship persons who by
the supreme law of the land, are incapable of be-
coming citizens aud their votes have been used to
inaugurate a new policy hostile to the South, and
destructive of its peace and safety.


On the 4th of March next this party will take
possession of the Government, 1t has announced
that the South shall be excluded from the common
territory; that the judicial tribunals shall be made
sectional, and that war must be waged against
Slavery until i. shall cease ghout the United
States.


The guarantees Of the Constitution will then no



lost Tho Savehodng States will no longer have
the power of sell-government or self-protection,
and the Federal Government will have become
their enemies.


Sectional interest and Mostly will deepen the
irritation, and all hope Of remedy is rendered vain
10y the fact ha public opinion at the North has in
vested great political error with the sanctions of
more erroneous religious belief.


We therefore, the people of South Carolina by
cur delegates in Convention assembled appealing
to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rect-
tude Of our intentions, have soemnly declared
that the Union he.etofore existing between this
State aud the other States of North America is
dissolved, and that the State of South Carolina
has resumed her position among the nations of the
world, as free, sovereign, and independent State
with full power to levy war, conclude peace
contract alliances, establish commerce and do
all other acts and things wLi1h indepen-
dent States may of right do.


And, for the support of this declaration, with
Grm reliance on the protection of Divine Provi-
dcnce we mutually pledge TO each other our lives,
1pr fortunes, and our sacred honore.
