69. the two Unions. Dedicated to Irish patriots. by F. D. B. When concord and peace to this land are restored, And the Union's established forever, Brave sons of Hibernia, oh, sheathe not the sword;-- You will then have a Union to sever. The flags of two nations appear on the field;-- You have vow'd to defend them forever; Your duty to one, is the Union to shield;-- To the other, the Union to sever! Though the “Star-Spangled Banner” proclaim o'er the sea Success crown'd each noble endeavor, Will any acknowledge Hibernians are free, While the Sunburst's in exile? No! never. On Erin's green soil (and on Erin's alone) You can purchase your freedom forever, When, join'd with your patriot brothers at home, The foul Union of tyrants you sever. New York

e immortal shore, Where the “waters of life” in brilliancy beam, And the pure float in peace evermore! “Shall we give them a broadside once more, my brave men?” Ay, ay, rose the full, earnest cry; “A broadside,” “a broadside,” we'll give them again! Then “for God and the right nobly die.” “Haste! haste!” for amid all that battling din Comes a gurgling sound fraught with fear, As swift-flowing waters pour rushingly in; Up! up! till her port-holes they near. No blenching, no faltering — still fearless all seen; Each man firm to duty doth bide; A flash! and a “broadside!” a shout! a careen! And the Cumberland sinks 'neath the tide. The “Star-Spangled Banner” still floating above, As a beacon upon the dark wave! Our ensign of glory, proud streaming in love, O'er the tomb of the “loyal and brave!” Bold hearts! mighty spirits! “tried gold” of our land! A halo of glory your meed! All honored, the noble-souled Cumberland band, So true in Colu

— John H. Digges. For Grain Measurer — Thos. F. Butler. For Gauger — Richard Fox. For Superintendent Gas Works--John. J. Fry. For Superintendent Water Works--J. L. Davis. For Superintendent Streets--Micajah Bates. For Superintendent Poor-House--Richard Reins. --which, if we remember rightly, completed the list. With the exception of Mayor, High Constable, Grain Measurer, and Superintendent of the Poor-House, the present incumbents have been re-nominated. The "Star-Spangled Banner" was next announced, the leader of the choir proclaiming that the chorus was "free to all."--Two ladies and three gentlemen sang the verses, getting through with them quite creditably, though the chorus was very weak. "Dixie" was then called for, but the choir failed to respond. A speech was afterwards delivered by Weitman T. Willey, Esq., of Monongahela, and perhaps he was followed by others. Judge Summers and Mr. Carlile, we believe, did not appear, though their names were in the <

"In the Church of the Messiah, (Unitarian,) an enormous flag draped the pulpit and communion table, and Dr. Osgood preached from the text, 'Lift up a standard to the people. ' He spoke of the standard as standing for the nation: its whole country, people and destiny; and urged the duty of standing by it decidedly, bravely and joyfully. The Star- Spangled Banner was song at the close. Several churches of different denominations thought it no desecration of the Sabbath to sing the 'Star-Spangled Banner' during their services." Another paper, professedly religious, says: "The glorious flag, which God enabled our fathers to raise and defend, is dishonored; all the institutions of freedom are imperilled.--We have no alternative but to defend our institutions, maintain the honor of our flag, and since mild measures have failed, by firm and decided ones, bring them back to reason and right. For this purpose, war is now inevitable. " Rev. Dr. Taylor, of Grace Church, Ne
