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,

TiIe Position or the Governor Elect,
of Missouri.—The Hon. l C. F. Jackson,
Governor elect of tlie State cf Missouri,
has written a letter to the Ltxington
Expositor upon the engrossing UsUes of
tho day, We copy the concluding par
agraphs!
Had I'hecm acting Governor of the
State, I should liaVo called the- Legis
lature together before now, in order
that they might consider tlio question
of calling a convention; and at tho
same time, if thought proper, to des
patch n Commissioner lo South Caroli
na, Goorgia, etc., oskingjthetn as friends
not to go out of the Umon by any has
ty step, but remain with us and meet
us in convention, and, if go we must,
let us all go out together. Let us ex
haust all the means In our pewer to
maintain our rights in the Union, lot
us preserve the government if possibly
in our power; but if after having tried
all the remedies within our grasp, if
these should fail—as i fear they will—
thou I say let us dissolve the connec
tion and maintain th* rights which be
long to us at all hazards md to the lost ex
tremity.
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.
