The tyutional t flai and Anthem, The New Orleans CVr«?M<very proper ly protests against the repudiation by Southern men of tho “Star Spangled Banner" both <u a Banner and in Song. Tlie glorious hymn which fass become national, is the property of the South written by a Southerner, and is far su perior, both in sentiment and music, to ho revolutionary Marseillaise; The “Stars and Stripes” were proposed by Washington as the National emblems, and ore supposed to have boen suggest ed by the arms of tlie Washington uirai- ‘ r which were similar in the colors and Jieir arrangement. When the South retires from the Union and asks to have returned all she has contributed to it, the national flag and the national nn- them ought to form no small part of her. claims. Tlie Orncent soys s The idea is common that these are Nmthorn hymns, set to Northern music. Uonae the manifestations of dislike with which they are frequently received when performed in public pluces.— Now, no impression - could be more, at vnrianco with historical facts. These tunes and anthems of right belong to the South; and ns they are glorious tunes and anthems, we should cherish and perpeluato them, instead of throw ing them back into the possession of those who have causelessly and want only become our enemies. These magnificent compositions first burst upon tho world when tho whqie country was a slaveholding country ; and like every tiling great in war, peace, intellect and science, which mude our forefather* illustrious; sprung from ono general source. Instead of abandoning. Ict us claim them u« our own legitimate property. They are a proud portion of our birthright. Our whole people have listened to their swelling strains with unalloyed-delight; and tons of thousands would almost as soon fight for their retention as they would'for the protection of their sec tion—*o strong is their reverence for, and powerful their attachments to, tho grand old tunes they have admired and loved from earliest boyhood to the present moment, FOR thr infantry service.

In any arguments upon this sulyect-I have thought it a waste of words and time to discuss the abstract right of secession. To us it does not mutter whether it be a constitutional remedy or-not. What right has the Black Ue~ publican or his allies to read us leotures on Constitutional rights after having violated with impunity the plainest provisions of the Constitution for more than thirty years ? I pray that Our friends may not bo betrayed into any rosh acts or measures. Let there bo no threats, no bravado, no imseonading: but firmly apd determinedly let us tako our position in the right, and stand by it to the last. WKlaSfrofT^y^ Parallel of latitude.
