KEY. Oh 1 say can you see by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last ; gleaming— Whose broad stripes and bright stars through t he ; perilous fight. O'er tho ramparts wo watched, were so gallantly , streaming! And the rock it's red glare, the bombs bursting in j air, Gave proof through tho night that our flag was still j there; 0 ! say does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave O'er the land of the free, and the borne of the brave ! On that shore dimly seen through the mists of the j deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence re poses, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it fitfully blows, now conceals, now discloses T Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory reflected now shines on the stream ; Tis the Star-Spangled Banner, O long may it wave O'er the land of the free, and tbeihoiue of the bravef And where is that band who so Tauntingly swore That the havoc of wir and the battle's confusion A home and a country should leave us no more f Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and slave j From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave ; ; And the star spangled banner in triumph doth wave ; O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave. : Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand ! Between their loved homes and the war's desola tion, ■ Blest with victory and peace, may the heaven ly acued land ! Piaise the power that bath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And this be our motto—"ln God is our trust"— And the star-spangled bapner in .triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free, aad -the home of the brave. " _________________________ WHAT HENRY CLAY SAID ABOCT ALLE GIANCE According to the report in tho BCD ton Abridgement of Debates, Henry Clay thus spoke in 1850 respecting a South Caroluian, now infamously notorious : j "Mr. President— l said nothing with respect to tho character of Rbett, for I might as well name him. But if he pronounced a sentiment attributed to him, of raising the standard of j disunion and resistance to the common Govern ( meot, whatever he has been, if be follows up : the decleration by corresponding overt acts, be will be a Traitor, and I hope tu will meet the fate of a traitor. [Great applause in tbe 1 galleries, with difficulty suppressed by the 1 Chair.] Mr. Clay resumed—L have heard with pain . and regret a confirmation of the remark 1 have made that tho sentiment of disunion is beeom i ing familiar. 1 hope it is confined to South ; Carolina. Ido not regard as my doty what the honerable Senator seems to regard as his. If Kentucky to-morrow unfurls tbe banner of resistance, I never will fight under the banocr. ! I owe a parau'ouut allegiance to the whole • Union—a subordinate one to my owu State. Texas Then and 3iow. Many of the secession journals of Texas, just DOW bieng received by mail in this vicinity, are filled with glowing and displayed head-lines in re gard to the vote for a Disunion Convention in that State- We copy the following as a fair sample: "Texas Aspires to Liberty and Independence."— "Secession is the only Path of Safety."' "Northern Eleations specimens of Northern Gratitude," &c. How different tbe feeling that pervaded tbe people of tbe "Lone Star State," when, helpless and harassed, she sought succor at tbe hands of the Union, and found in that Union friends who were willing to peril their life-blood lor her relief. Op pressed by millions upon millions of debt, crip pled bv hordes of political vagabonds who preyed upon her vitals, foes without and foes within, she then was rejoiced to lean upon the stalwart arm that was extended to her, and finally received her to its embraces, with all ber accumulated difficul ties. Like the serpent which tnrned to wound its benefactor, Texas may yet learn that ingratitude brings its own punishment. Parson Brownlow of The Knoxville (Tsnn.) IPAtg continues to poar hot shot into the Southern trai tors. In a late paper ho says : We frequently rective as many as a half-dozen letters in a day from the diflerent Principalities in the Southern Confederacy, threatening us with death in its most-horrible forms. These revolting States are swarming with desperadoes and anas sins ; who would be altogether happy in bathing their hands in the blood of Union men. A more fi-rocions and malevolent barbarism cannot be found on God's green earth than that now domi nant in this "Southern Confederacy." Private worth, public virtus, nge and experiance—none of theae can soften or restrain the multiplying and re lentless brutality which is engendered by the mob s-pirit of this ' new form of civilization" talk about ruling a Union editor upon a rail! Why, the Prince of Peace, if he were on earth again, could not traverse the dominions of these Yanceys, Rhetts, Davises, Slidells, and Wigfalls, and live, without repudiating his Sermon on the Monnt and I proclaiming tbis Southern Confederacy to be God 1 dained, Christ big otten. and Heaven approved. BEDFORD. PA., FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 1861. SPIRIT OF THE PRESS. From the Gettysburg Sentinel. Small politicians on the corners of the streets, tailing to understand the crisis, say it is due to Lincoln's election ; and the Republicans are held responsible for it. If tbis were true, they would not be relieved from tbe duty of supporting tho Government in its hour of peril. It has nurtured and protected them in its days of strength. It is entitled, in tbe moment of danger, to tho service of every citizen. Its existence is threatened by a band ot Revolutionists, because they lost an etee- j tion. That is all. They are aided by thousands of sympathizers outside their limits, who take pleasure in paralyzing the Government, ami render- j ing it an easy prey to its malignant and unscrupu- ] lous foes. Every patriot will help to maintain its ; authority, as precedent step. He that will not, and gives "aid and comfort to its enemies," is a i TRAITOR, and should be punished as such. But it is not true that the Republican s have done this. In 1832 a similar movement was attempted, but Jackson arrested it, as tbis would have been crushed had a man, instead of the feeble, whining, cowardly Buchanan, been at the he id of the Gov. eminent, in 18-50, a similar raovemeut was at tempted, but put down by the moral power of the Government actively exerted, aided by the patriot portion of the South. In 1853, such a movement was threatened, but the election resulted as the Revolutionists desired, and they had the chance to pluck the Government for four years, and better prepare tbeir plans. In 1857, it was threatened by Alabama ana Georgia, but Buchanan "caved in," endorsed the Lecorupton Constitution, and tbe Reliels again triumphed. IM 1861.it l as at last come off, because Breckenrldge was not elected. A Derveless otd man at Washington kept the machi nery of government quiet, while they placed cogs in it, and made it impossible to run it. Thus it ] was, when Lincoln found it. From the Lancaster Union. The new Administration ins exhausted conces sion while quietly preparing lor action. Being as sured by its military advisers that the relief of Sumter must be very difficult and costly, it has of fered peacefully to withdraw all the garrison but two or three men, and thus leave the Fort until these troubles shall be over—at once relieving Chaileston and South Carolina of all fear, or pre tense of fear, that they would be in any manner annoyed or imperiled, by thatj Fort. But no—the i reply was that Fort Sumter must be surrendered | and made to the besiegers, or it would be taken by ; force. And thus no honorable course was left j open to the Government but to attempt to relieve ! its heroic garrison at all hazards. The design was, it is understood, to send in an | unarmed merchant vessel, laden with supplies, and 1 see whether the Rebels would fire on it: if tbey j did, then a fleet of aimed ships, lying off the bar, ' was to repel force by force, and attempt to relieve j its heroic garrison at ail hazards. But the storm of Tuesday probably dispersed and delayed the fleet, and before it had reached Charleston, the *l - on tbe Fort was commenced on Friday morn itig last, as we have already stated. Thus the great Cotton KebeJUon inaugurates in blood its more direct and manly efforts to subvert the Federal Constifntlon and Government, and build up a Slave-holding Oligarchy on their ruins. Having chosen its ground and its time, it has gain ed, a temporary advantage. But the end is not yet. Let none doubt the ultimate triumph of the Right. From the Somerset Herald. With the heaviest heart we ever penned a line for our readers, we write the words, war has begun. The evil so long hanging over us has at last fallen, and civil war has been inaugurated in tbe harbor of Charleston. The miserable tale of the attack, bombardment and reduction of Fort Sautter and • the surrender of Major Anderson to the confeder ated traitors, will be found at length in our col umns. We bad clung to the hope, even against the conviction of our judgment, that bloodshed might be avoided, but apparently madness ruled tbe councils of the rebels, and unprovokedly with out tbe shadow of an excuse for the bloody treason, they bave precipitated themselves into a conflict with tbe Government- There is but a siugle line of duty left for all good citizens to pnrsue, and that is to rally as one man on the side of the Government. There is no room left now for discussion as to the policy to be pursued. Party divisions and party Hues must dwarf into nothingness before tbe momentous issue. Let the past dead bury its dead. We have now to determine —while Christendom stands agaze—the vita I question of whether we hive a government or eot. Whether the institu tions reared t>y our lathers sod cemented by their blood are to crumble at the touch of these insolent traitors, or are to he maintained, as they were won, by tbe strong hands and stout hearts of the true men of the Republic.. Men and brethren, jour country ia in peril, your nationality trembles in the balance, your glorious flag has Ixojn disgraced. Traitors brave the fleld and you are appealed to by your President to "tavor,fncilitate and aid bis efforts to maintain the honor, the integrity and tbe existence of our Na tional Union,and tbe perpetuity of our popular gov ernment Will any one refuse ? Remember, 'be that is Dot with us is against us.' " From the Hollidaysbi-.rg Register. TAKE SIDES. THE ISSUE IS MADE, For the Government, or Against It. For the Union, er Against It. For the Flag of our Country, or Against St. PATRIOTISM on one sole; TREASON and DIS UNION on the other. TJSKE SIDES. There is no longer any middle or neutral ground to occupy. The American flag trails in tbe dust at the feet of exultant Treason and Disunion. Its abasement must be avenged and its honor vindi cated, or our National greatness and glory is de parted. It is no longer a porfy contest. All party lines cease. Democrats, Whigs, Americans, Re publicans and Union men must all merge, and array themselves on one side or other of this great isaue. Where stands the reader ? The writer is for the Government as handed down to us by our fathers, —for The Union—the Consitution—and the Enforce ment of the Laws. And he is for this, no matter who may be President—no matter what political party may be in power. Freemen of the Keystone! "Take your places in the line;" and let yonr cry be "Down with the Traitors, whether at home or abroad. And "Tbe Star-spangled banner! O long shall it wave O'er tbe land of the free and the home of the brava." From the Chambersburg Repository. Who then ia to yield ? The Government can not ; the people of the North, with a unanimity never before witnessed, sustain the Government, saying by their actions (always preferable to words) that there was no canse lor the warlike rebellion ; that the Federal Government has done no wrong and dare not surrender. Therefore, there is but one courso left: if those who began the fray persist in its continuance, force must bo met with force-- Tbe honest masses of tbe North see and appreciate tbe state of the case, and are hastening to tbe sup port of the Government—declaring that to foes from abroad or foes v.t homo IT shall never yield. From the Hollidaysburg Whig. Our town was filled with excitement yesterday morning in consequence of tho war news. Men could be seen at every corner discussing the ail important crisis of the Government. A general feeling prevailed that the "Stars and Stripes" should be protected at all hazards. The military of our town were on the alert all day, ready and willing to go in defence of the Country. Company meetings of the 'Rifles' and 'Fencibles' were called for the same evening in order to get additional re cruits, as both companies have tendered their services to the Governor. The war and Union spirit actuates every man who loves his country, and a determined spirit is manifested tc sustain the administration ia our trying difficulties. From the Huntingdon Journal. As will he seen by the telegraphic news, Fort Sumter has been liombarded and captured by the traitor secessionists of the cotton States. The wir has actually began, and the blood of American freemen has boen spilled in defence of their flag.— The responsibility rests wi;h the South and their allies of the North. From the Hartfort Daily Courant. It is sweet to die tor one's country; and never ! bad mortal a better cause than that which now sum mons all who feel themselves to be men, to rally around the flag of onr fathers. Men of Connecti cut ! To ARMS ! ! You must be counted for or against tho Government: which shall it be ? Descendants of those who marched under the ban ner of Washington, which shall it be f Are we proud of our Putnam, our Knowlton, our Hall and onr Wooster ; and shall we blanch in this hour of trial 1 Sons ot the old Charter Oak State, eu which side do you enlist t Fropi the Philadelphia American. For months they have paraded their foroes and prepared their armament*, and now tbey have assaulted and captured a post held by the the United States, shedding the blood of its defenders to tbe extent of their ability. This unprcoendented outrage has aroused a measure of publio indignation fow now living havo ever felt or seen, and urgent appeals ought not to j be and we beltive will not be needed to pre pare the great body of tbe people for the stern duty before them. If we of tbis Keystone of the Union are firm and united ia tbis crisis of the nation's existence, it will tako very little ' time to restore tbe integrity of tbe government, and to give equal peace and prosperity to the south aDd the north. From the Pbila. Eve. Jour. Ibe bitterest political enemies of Republi canism are bound by every consideration of patriotism, by the love they bear the mothers, wives, and children of their country, by all the time-ballowed memories of the past, by all the sweet influences which duster around our national songs, by the .veneration felt for Wash ington, and tbe respeet due the names of Jack son, Clay, Webeter, Benton, and the other patriots of a reoeutly-passed day—by all the demands which the suffering millions of other climes have on the inheritors of Freedom— by all these considerations and many more— we repeat it that tbe men who are moet de terminedly opposed to tbe Republican Admin istration are bound, as above stated, to stand by the United States Government in the pres* ent crisis of affairs* From the -V. Y. World. Tbe giant is aroused. Tbe millions of tbe loyal, Union-loving North have stretched and snapped asunder, as one man, tbe flimsy withes that beld bound their patriotism under the pre* tence of being fraternal bonds. Have we a country to be saved, and shall we save it? &aks 1 Mr. Lincoln, and before tbe words of bis proc lamation have been read, the patriot'* fire kin dles in every heart, and from cities, towns and villoges, tbe country over, the lightning flies to bear their clear and quick response. Tho North has been long suffering and tolerant even to its traitors, but when Sumter was attacked, and the flag which has never known dishonor was struck, there was an end to patience aud tolerance and peace. The stab at hk heart nas but aroused tbe giant, it will be fatal only to the puny arms wbicb dealt tbe traitofous blow. From the JV . Y. Tribune. Demoorat as well as Republioan, Conserva tive and Radieal, instinctively feel that the guns fired at Suinter were airuod at the heart of the American Uepub!ic. Not even in the lowest groggery of onr city would it be safe :to propose cheers For Beauregard and Gov. Pick ens. Tbe tories of the Revolution were rela tively ten times as numerous hero as are tbe open sympathizers with the Palmetto rebels.— The manifestations at tbe Stock ExcbaDge on Saturday were symptomatic of the foclingevery wkefe. It is hard to lose Sumter; it is a con solation to know that in losing it we have gam ed a united people. Henceforth, the lojal States are a unit in uncompromising hostility to treason, wherever plotted, however, justified. Snuiter is temporarily lost, but the eouutry is saved. Live the Republic! Fiom the Cleveland, Ohio, H raid. We can hardly credit ths senses when con templating th® change that has come over out countrymen within a brief week's space. For months, under * Democratic Administration, was tbe question hourly, anxiously, asked.— Have we a Government* That question, under a Republican Administration, of OD short niODth, is answered in the affirmative, and reen of all parties thauk God, and take courage. Faces brigbeo on every hand, and, without re gard to political affinities, congratulations are exchauged, and mouth answers to mouth that I the glorious stars and stripes are not to bo trailed in the dost, but the Union which they typify is to be sustained. Faom the Phila. Bulletin. The question is simply, Government, or no Government? Are we to abandon every liberty wt have enjoyed, the protection thst the Fed eral Government haa always afforded to the whole people, and surrender ourselves to an irresponsible and hostile oligarchy at tue South? Our citizens are now to decide between Loyalty and Treason. There is no middle ground to accommodate those who may pretend a decent neutrality. Neutrality in such an emergency is disloyalty. Tbe Government must be main tained, and tboae that withhold from it tbeir cordial support, must be ranked among its ene mies. From the Milwaukee Sentinel. Wo are for the Union aud tbe maintenance of tbe laws. If these cao be secured only by the military arm, wbioh is the power underly ing all Governments, let it be co, and tbe con sequences fall upon the beads of those who have evoked that punishment wbioh for so long a time tbey have so richly merited. From the Huntingdon Globe, (Douglas.) TDK STARS AND STRIPES MUST BE DEFEND ED. —The tirna for action, aud resolute action, by tbe Government and by all to whom the honor of their eouutry is dear, has arrived.— Our flag must be defended by bravo and patri otic hearts, or be dishonored. Rebellion South, and treason North, must be met aud conquered. Tbe issue is not whether tbe Democratic party or tbe Republican party shall triumph in tbe oext campaign, but it is simply whether tbis Republic or its enemies shall be overthrown.— We'sball know no party but tbe party iu favor of defending the flag of our country. We were for peace as long as it was possible to bope for peace ; but now that war has been for ced upon our Government by the Southern dis unioutsle, we are for dealing with the rebels a* tbey deserve. There is no middle ground in thc-i see before us—every man, bigh or low, must take bis position for or ag >inst tbe Gov ernment, as a patriot or traitor. Tbe Govern ment would be false to its trust if it failed to meet its enemies resolutely and fearlessly.— We call upon men of nil parties to throw oil party jealousies to the wind, and unite in' one solid column for tbe defence of our Govern ment and the honor of our ooun'ry. From the HoUidaysburg Standard, ' Douglas.) The long threatening clond of civil war his burst at last—tbe first fratricidal blow has b-eea struck—the consequences and end of which, Omnipotence alone can foretell. Full particulars of the calamitous event will be found in another column. We have no room for ex tended comment, and no heart to do so, if we bad. Tbe picture is one wbieb no good citi zen oan look apon, save with feelings of dread and horror. Civil war once commenced in na tions, bjis seldom oeasad,, until it has brought forth terriole fruits of calamity and bloodshed, and there is only too much reason to fear that the unnatural strife inaugurated at Charleston will not prove an exception. But tbe die baa been cast—internieine wir, ' actual and bona fide, with all its attendant J borfors, is upon us. In this emergency, what ever may be our convictions as to the necessi ty for an appeal to arms or the causes which produced it, we conceive there is but one right course for every loyal citizon to pursue, and that is to rally around the etirry ensign that has so long 4 braved battle and the breeze,' and uphold and support tbe Government ia the maintenance of its rightful authority. From the J\ew York Herald,(Breckinridge.) ( On one point, so far as we bare been able to ascertain, pet feet unanimity exists among our moneyed men, tbe Government must be sustain ed. Every one deplores tbe terrible calamity whieb has befallen tbe Republic. But there is no desire among the merchants .or capitalists of New York to shrink the issue, or to evade tbe responsibilities of the oontest. Upon New York will devolve tbe chief burden of provid ing ways and means for tbe war ; our financial community accept tbe duty, and will perform it. Tbis view we find to be universal among moneyed men, including many whose sympathies bave heretofore been with the Soutb. If tbe Government prove true to tbe oouotry, it need not feel any uneasiness about money. In the opinion of our leadiug bankers, a hundred millions, over and above the receipts of the Government from oustoms and laud sales, if ■necessary to defray tbe expenses of the war for a year from this date, couid be readily bor rowed in wall street, at a rate of interest cer tainly not exceeding that which France and England paid for the money whioh they bor rowed for the Russiiu war. If, for the pur poso ol bringing the war to an end, and set tling this controversy of ours torever, a furth er sum be requisite, it will be forthcoming.— Wall street, so far as we can judge, is ready to sustain tbe Government heartily aud liberally. From the Philadelphia Press, (Douglas.) Henoeforth each mau, high and low, must take bis position as a patriot or a traitor—as a foe or a friend of his country, as a suppor ter of the flag of the stars and stripes or of tbe rebel banner. AH doubts and hesitation must be thrown tbe winds, and with the history of the past spread before os, we must choose be tween maintaining tbe noble fabric that was reared by our wise and brave ancestors, under which we have enjoyed so much liberty and hap piness, and openly joining the rasb, reckless, despotio, cruel and viHanoas band of conspi rators, who have formed a deep laid and das perate plot for its destruction. The contest wbioh is impending will doubtiesa be attended with many honors, but all tbe faot9 show that it has been forced upon us as a last resort, and war is not the worst of evils. Since the start ling events of tba last five months bave been succeeded by a brutal bombardment of a foTt erected at a vast expense for the defeuee of Charleston harbor, which would have been peaceably evacuated if tbe rebels bad not in sisted upon the utter humiliatiou of the Gov ernment, and since the Secretary of war of the Southern Confederacy has threatened to capture Washington, and even to invade the Northern States, while formal dcoirattoo ! of hostilities is about, to 'o made by tbe Qon -1 federate Congress, we should e waouog tn VOL. 34, NO. 17. every element of manhood, be perpetually dis graoed in the evea of the world; and lose all self-respect, if we did not arouse to determin ed aotion to reassert the outraged dignity of the nation. From the Rochester Uniort, [Democrat,) For our own part, we deem it our duty to support tbe Government ;o respect to all mea sures which fall within tbe sphere of its con stitutional discretion; since it seems to us that no other course on tbe part of a journalist is reconcilable with the allegiance which we all owe to tho Government of our country, irres pootive of the persons or the party by whom it is for the time administered. Moreover, we fully believe tint a decided policy, whether war or of capitulation, offers the shortest road to peace upon some well decliaed basis. And while we may not approve of the measures of •he Administration, we must express our pref erence for a positive policy of soma kind or other ; nor shall we be unmindful of the fact that its policy is taken with reverence to much fuller and more porfect information than We oan possibly possess. From the Boston Herald, {Douglas Dem.) It now behooves every man to lay aside his party bias and rally to the support of tbe Gov ernment iu its efforts to protect the stars and stripes, and to maintain the integrity of the nation. No more concession to traitors, but award to them a traitor's doom. It is time to stop talking about compromises until those who are in open rebellion desire peace, and wilt lay down their arms and consent to obey the laws of tbe land. The issue is now to be met, the good people of New England, wboe fathers fought for and established American liberty, will defend that liberty to 'he last, and will respond to any call which may be made upon her for men and money. It is of no use now to fling at tbe Government Est us give up small prejudices and go in, heart and band, to put down treason and traitors—come from what quarter they may. Those who afford comfort and aid to th# enemy by croaking or by sympathy, are as guilty as those who are in open arai against the constituted authorities of the land.

Leader, (Douglas Dem ) In this hour of trial it becomes the duty of every patriotio citizen to sustain the General Government in vindicating our fUg aod assert ing the permanence cf the Union. Mr. Lin coln is not the President of our ohoice; bat, as constitutional President of the United States he is entitled to our allegiance, and shall have our support in the present struggle—the fate of Mexico being ever present before us as an exemplar of the ruin inevitably following tbe peaceful toleration or bloody success p.f {rational disintegration. From the Valley Spirit, (Breckinridget) Let as stand up for the Government now ia power and not be found giving "aid and com fort" to the enemy in time of war. Had this war occurred under a democratic administra tion, as it might readily have done bad it not been for the wise policy pursued bv Mr Buch anan, we would have expected the Republicans to sustain the government. They can ask and expect nothing more aod nothing leas of us. If wo aro divided aiuoug ourselves, and arrayed against the goverument, it will only create bad blood io the community and have the effect of prolonging the war and adding o all its hor rors. Wo want a short war, now that it has beguu, and hope that negotiations for peace, on a basis satisfactory to all sections, may be speedily commenced and definitely decided. It is tbe motto of all true patriots— my oountry, may it always bo right, but tight or wrong, my oountry. brom the Ebenstnirg Sentinel, [Breckinridge.) We entertain no doubt that the paoific pol icy inaugurated by Mr. Buchanan, and appa rently followed for several weeks by Mr. Lin coln, tending as it did, to keep Virginia and tbe other Border States in tbe Union, aod bring about tbe adoption of suoh amendments to tho Constitution as would probably have ultimate ly brought baok tbe seoeeding States, should not have been so hastily abandoned. Bat Mr. Lincoln iti determining to send provisions tp Fort Sumter, 'peaceably if possible, otherwise by force' was aplipg jtxiotly within the jftttec au-i spirit of Constitution, aod the laws of Our Oouutry, and probably from a trtcrn sense of imperative duty, lie was merely taking tho first step iu the effort to execute the laws in States which be is bound to regard ta atill members of tbe Union. This WJC not oooroioo, this was not aa attempted invasion of a sover eign State, out an effort to execute tho laivs;* * and no law abiding oitiieu, aftct carefully in vestigating the oase can oeniure hiu; for doing so.
