HAIL to the Stars and Stripes !
. The boastful flag all hill!
The tyrant trembles now,
And at the sight grows pale; •
The Old World groans in pains,
• And turns her eye to see
beyond the Western main,
The emblem of the free.
Hail to the Stars and Stripes!
Hope beams in every ray !
And shining through the bars
Of gloom, points out the way; .
The Old World sees the light
. That shall her cells
And shrinking back to night,
Oppression reads her doom.
Ilnil to the Stars and Stripes!
They float in every sea,
The crvstal waves speed on
The emblemof the free!
Beneath the azure sky
Of soft Italia's clime,
Or where Auroras d.e,
Iti solitude sublime.
AU hail the flaunting Lie !
..The stars grow pale end dint—
The stripes are bloody scars,
A lie the vaunting hymn;
It shields a pirate's deck,
It hinds a man in claim;
It yokes the captive's neck,
And wipes the bloody stains.
Tear down the flaunting lie!
Half-umst the starry flag!
Inmlt no snnny ski•
With Hate's polluted rng;
Destroy it, ye who eitn!
Deep sink it in the waves!
It bears a fellow malt
To groan with fellow slaves
Awake the burning scorn!
That vengeance long and deep,
That till a better morn - •
Shall neither tire nor sleep!
0, Freeman ! Dare to do ! '
God's will is ever NOW
May HIS thy will renew!
Fnfurl the boasted lie!
Till Freedom lives again,
To rule once more in Truth,
Among untrammeled men !
Roll up the starry sheen,
Conceal its bloody stains,
For in its folds are seen
The stamp of rusting chains
Be bold, ye heroes all!
Spurn, spurn the flaunting lie,
Till PLACE, and TROTH, and LOVE.
Shall fill the bending sky
Then floating in the air,
O'er hill, and vale, and sea,
'T willstand for ever fair,
The emblem of the Free !

REPEAL AND RESISTANCE.-If the
spirit of '76 is not entirely dead, the
fugitive slave . „act will stand a poor
chance of being enforced in Rhode
Island. If the New England patriots
were justified by the higher law in
tossing the tea into Boston harbor—
in resisting the stamp act—in burning
the Gaspee, here in our own river,
then are the descendants of that brave
band equally justified by the same law
in. covert and open resistance to a
statute more atrocious in its nature
and more oppressive and cruel in its
operations than all the acts by which
the British Parliament undertook to
subjugate the American colonies. And
while we go for the immediate repeal
of the infernal act, we wish to have it
distinctly understood that wq go for
resistance also. Of course, others can
do as they please—we speak for one
The time for discussion on the con
stitutionality and. character of that law
has gone by. The time for action has
fully come. The alternatives presented
to us are, voluntary submission, forci
ble submission, or succesful resistance.
Manhood and the higher law impel us
to choose the latter. Better die .as
freemen than live as slaves.
Repeal and resistance--resistance
mid repeal is our war cry.—R. I. Free
-man.
JEFFERSOS 4EVISED.-It is thought they
have got a new edition of the Declaration of
Independence at the South, especially calcu

BEAUTY OF. TEWTH.
.
"Truth ever lovely since the world began,
The fde of Tyruntts.-and friend -of Man: "
Or high, or low; or rich or poor, we call,
The good of each rests in the goad of Act.
We fear a large portion of the ris
ing generation do not attach sufficient
importance_ to truth and its influence
upon the character. They indulge in
all kinds of extravagant misrepresent
ations, and when these are discovered,
they endeavor to laugh thein pff as
mere matters of jest.—ln other words
they mistake falsehood for wit, and
thus not only injure others, but mis-_
lead themselves. The infirmity.is one
that has been alluded to again and
again, but it cannot be denounced too
earnestly or tou frequently. Truth is
one of the brightest and purest moral
jewels of our nature. It not only il
lustrates, but it adorns and dignifies.
It is indeed valuable in almost every
aspect in which it may be considered.
The true man, one whose word may
always be relied upon, is deservedly
respected and esteemed by all who
know him, and the weight of his opin
ion cannot but exercise a high moral
influence in every intelligent circle.
It has been wetland wisely contended,
that " truth lies at the foundation of
the really virtuous character." It is
the key stone . of the arch. It inspires
confidence, and in its absence, every
other element of purity is deprived of
-a portion of its strength. No truly
great or good man ever lived, in whom
this trait was not prominent.
Truth is the brightest jewel in a
vouhg man's crown. He that is wil
ling to prevaricate, to misrepresent,
to garble, to prevert —he that scorns
•to deceive, and with a modest frank-
ness and a manly firmness, always
speaks the simple truth; commends
himself at once to the respect and ad
miration of the truly wise and virtu
ous. An individual may be a perfect
novice in business, may not possess
brilliant talents, be awkward in per
son and unpolished in manners, but
let it be known that he is a truth
ful man, andthere is no deception,
no falsehood about him, that he comes
directly to the mark in all he says,
and that his word is never. to be
dJuted, and he will have a Sure
passport to the confidence of the com
munity. And he who can command
confidence, can also command success.
On the other hand, let an individual
be attractive in person, accomplished
in manners, marked by energy, talent
and tact : but let him at the same time,
be addicted to falsehood, and the effect
will be to create distrust, excite suspi
cion, to destroy hopes, and to impair
prospects. The young who are about
' to enter into the active pursuits of the
I
world, and thus carve out for '
them
selves character, as well as fortune,
should remember these facts. They
should avoid, as something calculated
to curse them throughout life, a habit
of misrepresentation, exaggeration and
falsehood. Even in „jest the truth
should be adhered to ; but at last !
how-often is it otherwise ! How many
persons indulge day after day, in the
silly practice of uttering falsehood,
half in jest, half in earnest, and thtis
perplexing, misleading and confusing
individuals who are conscientious and
manly, who cannot understand the
wit of lying.
It is a sad mistake in the young as
well as the old, to concoct scandle,
circulate misrepresentation and utter
untruths, in the silly notion that such
a pßlicy is smart. It is on the con
trarS.-, not only very weak, but vicious,
The effect, too, is to excite general
distrust, and thus, even when the
truth is uttered, the listener remem
berg the authority, and seeks for cor
roberation in some other quarter.-,--
The old fable of the Boy and the
Wolf is familiar, and is as 11111 of
meaning as full of moral.. The wisest
are liable to be deceived once or twice
by a plausable falsehood, but thereaf
ter, they are not only liable to mani
fest caution, but to exhibit incredulity.
and scorn. How priceless is truth in
the family circle—among parents and
children, relatives and friends. We
could pardon almost any offense in the
young, except the habit of deceiving
•and falsifying. With such a habit, it
is impossible to ifnmagine what. has
taken place. Unpleasant discoveries
are constantly occurring, and we are
made to live in a state of continual
anxiety and apprehension.
We remember that some years
since, a young lady and gentleman of
a neighboring city became extremely
intimate, and after paying various at
tentions, the latter made an offer of
his'hand and . heart. He was ques
tioned as to his former history by the
lady, and especially relating to a par
ticular circumstance. Instead of stat
ing the facts as they were, and there
was nothing particularly serious in'
the matter, he was prompted by his
evil genius of the hour, to make' a, de
liberate misrerre3entation. Within

COUDEASPORT,_ POTTER: COUNTY; PA:, :JUNE 23; :WS:Lk
the same Week the falsity of-kis story
was discovered, and the effect was to
dismiss him at once from the confi
dence and esteem as well of the lady
as of her Mends. They could not
rely on one'who, at such a moment
and under'such
. circumstances, would
so strangely attempt to deceive! And
still more recently, an individual who,
in a moment of necessity and tempta- .
tion, had committed an offense, called
upon a gentleman of. this city for as
sistance. The latter had an indistinct
recollection of the facts of the case,
and in the kindest spirit named the
circumstance, and asked if he, the
applicant, was the party implicated.
The reply. was in the negative. - He
denied the story from first to last; and
fixed it upon another. ,Soon after,
however, a sense of conscience and of
right prevailed, he-came forward ad
mitted all the facts, and said that a
feeling of shame had induced -him for
a moment to violate that holy princi
ple. This was the more to be re
gretted, for had he uttered the truth
at first, the effect would not have been
injurious to him in the slightest de
gree, for in fact, he was known to he
the man. Still his prompt admission
and regretful explanation had the
effect of restoring that confidence
which would otherwise have been
materially weakened, if not wholly
destroyed. But the intelligent and
observing reader does not require
illustrations. He must know that
without truth there can be no confi
dence,_ no trust, no fidelity and little
happiness. What, too, can be more
terrble,--what more base—than by a
series of false statements; hollow pro
fessions, and artful acts, to win the
esteem,. the respect, and love of a fel
low being, and then by tearing the
mask away, reveal the monsters De
ceit and Falsehood in all their de
formity.--L-Co/Teautville Courier.
COUGH3NG DOWN BILL
At the risk of being laughed at, by
the way, T thifik • ,411 aovnt,,i
enough to the invalid cause, to men
tion rather a funny discovery of mine
in the way of cough - alieviation. Of
cough itself, I have long had an im
proving estate. It is a removal of the
material for the disease; and the med
ical opiate which stills it, is calling
the dog from the unex4elled enemy.
The sleep one loses by it—an inci
dental aggi vation of the cleansing
process—is the only harm it can do,
at least till it becomes itself a morbid
irritation.
. -
But,. lying in bed one - night, and
wondering at the six or seven hours
that Nature had been busy in pump
ing out the wrong secretions of my
mucous membrane, I fell to speculating
on' its hydraulic action. speculating
on the
fact that the fluid which it brought
away was evidently turned upon an
irritable. portion of the stomach or
lungs by the. change of posture in lying
down the use of the cough must be to
finish its up-hill progress to the mouth.
It was a pumy, the action of which
was but the effort to overcome the
remaining activity through a chest and
head raised upon pillows. Would it
be needed—thought r—if it were
dozen-hill from the stomach to the
mouth?. Why not save . this hard
working cough the trouble by altering
the level 7'
• I leaned over the bed, with .my
hand rested on the round of a chair
for , support,. tried the experiment.
It aggravated the cough immediately
—or, rather, it so increased its ejec
tion of the mucous fluid that it seemed
the result of a vomit,—but, I was
tranquilized and went to: sleep immedi
ately after. In four or five minutes
the down-hill cough seemed to do the
work, which, up-hill would have occu
pied hours. It is somewhat for the
same effect, perhaps, that most cough
machines are based upon ipecac. But
the advantage of doing it by posture is
that the stomach is not weakened by
medication.
I have a month or two of experi
ence, on which to ground iny recom
mendation of this alleviative to my co
pulmonary friends. I get through
with my night's irritations of the
throat, now, habitually, by thus in
creasing and expediting them—one'
hour's work, or, oftener, a few minutes
of violent and spasmodic coughing,
instead of a slow and irritating bail
for six or seven hours. The sleep
afier it, has the lull rest after fa
tigue. The cleansed tongue in the
morning shows that the lining of the
stomach . had its airing attended to,
while the lines around the eyes read
like a certificate of reasonable sleep.

'We 'see ,by the Vermont Tribuxe
that the friends of free-labor produce
in that vicinity, are waldfig up in real
earnest to the importance of this mat-;
ter. • A meeting of the friends of this
.movement is ammunced to be held in
the Wesleyan Meeting House,:North
Ferrisburg, on the 4th • iusf., for the
,purpose of forming a Free Prance
Association. A Preamble and don
stitution, tote acted upon at the meet
ing, is already published. The • Pre
amble reads thus:
"'Believing that slaveholding is op
posed_ to the spirit and tenor of the*
Christian religion, and mainly sup
p.orteil by the purchase of the produc
tions of gave labor, we regard it our
duty to abstain, as far as possible,.
from the use of such productions.
With these views; and to increase the
facilities in procuring goods produced
py free labor, we unite in an Associa.-
tion under the title of The Free Pro
duce Association of"'
•
The second article of the. proposed
Constitution is as follows: • •
"The objects of this Association
shall be, not to substitute this for other
modes of anti-slavery' action, but to
take up the anti-slavery enterprise
where the Church and ballot-box leave
it.; to carry frequent anti-slavery ac
tion into the family circle of each of
its members, to the counter of the
store keeper, to the factory or the
exchange, as unreservedly as we would
make it an affair of the church, or the
business of legislative bodies—to aim
ulate ourselves in such practical anti
slavery efforts; as a constant recur
rence to our leading principles would
induce to adopt means for obtaining a
supply of articles, the production of
- free labor, that cannot be otherwise
.readily procured—to show the injustice
and impolicy of slave labor—the de
molition of domestic comfort—of so
cial and religious . privileges, and the
.destruction of human life which it occa
sions, and at the duty , of withdrawing
from it our support.' -
It is to be hoped that this example
of our Green Mountain brethren will
be followed by each and all of the
Free States. Such a movement, if
generally,made and efficiently carried
out, would do much toward destroy
ing the demand for slave productions.
A writer in the -Vermont Tribune
justly says;
"It will tend to encourage the non
slaveholding :planter; in the demon
stration he is now making under the
observation of slaveholders, that free
labor can compete with slave labor
upon the same soil, and under the
same commercial restrictions, and thus
far remove one of the greatest obsta
cles to emancipdtion—the belief that
under prasent circumstances it is expe
dient to submit to the evil."
The deep sea-soundings of
.Lieut.
Murray resulted in the discovery, at
the bottom of the ocean, of a bed of
microscopic shells, unmixed with . sand
or gravel. To an ordinary observer
the discovery would suggest no Very
omarkable ideas, and would unfold
no extraordinary provisions'of nature.
But Lieut. Murray demonstrates that
these animalculw, in 'all probability,
exercise a powerful influence in pro
rnoting a healthy change or circulation
of the waters of the sea; that if, as is
supposed, these little creatures live at
the surface, and are buried at the bot
tom of the ocean, fq, they assist to
preserve the status by maintaining the
purity of the • waters. It is admitted
that the salts of the sea 'come from the
land, and that they consist of the solu
ble matter which the rains wash out
from the fields, and which the rivers
bear to the ocean. The waters of the
Mississippi and the Amazon discharge
immense quantities of this soluble
matter. This matter cannot be evap
orated, and as the rivers never cease.
pouring in fresh supplies of it, it is
argued that the sea must be continually
growing more salt; and such, perhaps,
would be the case, were it .not that
these microscepic animals are con
stantly at work, extracting this matter
from the sea-water, and depositing it,
in the form of shells, at the bottom of
the ocean. Thus, says Lieut. Murray,
‘• the ocean is presented as a vast
chemical berth; in which the solid
parts of the earth are washed, filtered,
and precipitated again as solid matter,
but in a rim forth, with fresh prop
erties."

Owing to several attacks made' upon
the organization :of " KAM*. Nothings"
by the Pennsylvanian and Patriot, the
known
be
of his EicellencY, it
might be inferred that GoV.Digler and
the Democratic lea:ders were hostile
to the - order; but upon 'closer inves-•
. tigation •it becomes evident, notwith
standing their seeming opposition, that
his Excellency is "in the ring." He
does not "know!' whether he is for
or against the infamous Nebraska swin
dle.. . He. does not. "know" whether
he Is'in favor of or opposed to the sale
of the Public Works belonging to the
:CoMmonwealth. He doeS not," know"
whether be is for or against a division
of the school fund., He does not ;
" know " why, in defiance of his re-.:
jection of, the people of Pennsylvania,
his influence secured the promotion of I
Judge Campbell. He does not "know"
why he vetoed several Bank bills
during the last session of the Lesisla-
ture, and signed others containing.pre-N
cisely the same provisions. 'He is not
only a "know nothing" himself, but
manufactures members by thousands.
The 'citizens of Pennaylvania ought to.
be Made acquainted with his position
on the above and many other ques
tions, but are kept in profound ig,no
ranee, notwithstanding the hundred
calls that have been made for light and
information. - True, the Democratic
Union, after . two weeks' reflection,
answers one of our interrogatories by
saying that it "believes that Governor
Bigler will pledge himself in favor of
the Nebraska bill." The editors have
evidently not been initiated yet;
though we shall expect after a week
or ,two to find them as proficient "know
nothings" as. - Gov. Bigler himself. A
short time since they were certain
that His Excellency was with them on
this question; .now they believe it, and
in a - weelf. or two more they will
" know nothing" about it.—Har. Tel.

the worship of mammon, is enough to
make an honest man blush for his race.

0 FACT
Extravagance, fashion, and cheating
throng our streets, and jostle against
honest toil. Liveried footmen and
costly coaches hurry by and splash
merit with mud thrown from the
wheels--and thus in every phase of
life. The toiling,laboring,honest poor
are despised and contemned. Riches
are coveted, sought for, and-worship
ped by the tnillipn, Honesty and truth,
merit and talent, are sobifor a "mess
of pottage." Too often the most open
dishonesty is forgiven_ and forgotten,
because wealth blinds the eyes and
obliterates the memory of the public.
"An honest man is the noblest work
of God," was once true, but now,
"Get all you can, and keep what you
get," is the great principle of the age.

As a specimen of Southern inso;•

gadoeia speech made by Stephens, of
Georgia, -while the Nebraska "bill was
,under discussion in the House.ef Rep
resentatives. . He turned to the North
em oppone nts ' of-the measure; and
thus contemptously addressed them:
"Well, gentlemen, yOu make a good
