THOMAS PAINE, To the Citizens of the United States.
LETTER THE SECOND.
AS the affairs of the country to which I am returned, are of more importance to the world, and to me, than of that I have lately left, (for it is through the new world the old must be regenerated, if regenerated at all) I shall not take up the time of the reader with account of scenes that have passed in France, many of which are painful to remember and horrid to relate, but come at once to the circumstances in which I find America on my arrival.
Fourteen years and something more have produced a change, at least among a part of the people, and I ask myself what it is? I meet or hear of thousands of my former connections who are men of the same principles and friendships as when I left them. But a new desert race, and of equivocal generation, assuming the name of Federalist , a name that describes no character of principle good or bad, and may equally be applied to either, has since started up with the rapidity of a mushroom, and like a mushroom is withering on its rootless stalk. Are those then federalised to support the liberties of their country or to overturn them? To add to its fair fame or riot on its spoils? The name contains no defined idea. It is like John Adams's definition of a republic in his letter to Mr. Wythe of Virginia. It is, says he an empire of laws and not of men . But as laws may be bad as well as good, an empire of laws may be the best of all governments, or the worst of all tyrannies. But John Adams is a man of paradoxical heresies, & consequently of a bewildered mind. He wrote a book entitled " A defence of the American Constitution ," and the principles of it are an attack upon them. But the book is descended to the tomb of forgetfulness, and the best fortune that can attend its author, is quietly to follow its fate. John was not born for immortality. But to return to federalism.
In the history of parties & the names they assume, it often happens, that they finish by the direct contrary principles with which they profess to begin, and thus it has happened with federalism.
During the time of the old congress, and prior to the establishment of the federal government, the continental states were too loosely buckled. The several states were united in name, but not in fact, and nominal union had neither centre nor circle. The laws of one state frequently interfered with, and sometimes opposed those of another. Commerce between state & state was without protection, & confidence without a point to rest on. The condition of the country was then in, was aptly described by Pelatiah Webber when he said, " Thirteen states and ne'er a boss will make a barrel ."
If then by federalist it be understood, one who was for cementing the union by a general government, operating equally over all the states in all matters that embraced the common interest, and to which the authority of the states severally was not adequate, for no one state can make laws to bind another, if, I say, by a federalist is meant a person of this description, (and this is the origin of the name) I ought to stand forth as the list of federalists , for the proposition for establishing a general government over the union, came originally from me in 1783, in a written memorial to chancellor Livingston then secretary for foreign affairs to congress, Robert Morris minister of finance, and his associate Gouverneur Morris, all of whom are now living, and we had a dinner and conference on the subject. The occasion was as follows.
Congress had proposed a duty of five per cent. on imported articles, the money to be applied as a fund towards paying the interest of loans to be borrowed in Holland. The resolve was sent to the several states to be enacted into a law. Rhode Island absolutely refused. I was at the trouble of a journey to Rhode-Island to reason with them on the subject. Some other of the states enacted it with alterations, each one as it pleased. Virginia adopted it, and afterwards repealed it, and the affair came to nothing.
It was then visible, at least to me, that either congress must frame the laws necessary for the union, and send them to the several states to be enregistered without any alteration, which would in itself appear like usurpation on one part, and passive obedience on the other; or some method must be devised to accomplish the same end by constitutional principles, and the proposition I made in the memorial, was, to add a continental legislature to congress to be elected by the several states . The proposition met the full approbation of the gentlemen to whom it was addressed, and the conversation turned on the manner of bringing it forward. G. Morris, in walking with me after dinner, wished me to throw out the idea in the newspapers. I replied that I did not like to be always the propounder of new things, that it would have too assuming an appearance; and besides, that I did not think the country was quite wrong enough to be put right. I remember giving the same reason to Doctor Rush at Philadelphia, and to General Gates, at whose quarters I spent a day on my return from Rhode Island, and I suppose they well remember it, because the observation seemed to strike them.
But the embarrassments increasing as they necessarily must from the want of a better cemented Union, the state of Virginia proposed holding a commercial convention, and that convention, which was not sufficiently numerous, proposed that another convention, with more extensive and better defined powers, should be held at Philadelphia, May 10, 1787.
When the plan of the federal government formed by this convention was proposed, and submitted to the consideration of the several states, it was strongly objected to in each of them. But the objections were not on federal grounds, but on constitutional points. Many were shocked at the idea of placing, what is called executive power, in the hands of a single individual — To them it had too much the form and appearance of a military government, or a despotic one. Others objected that the powers given to a president were too great, and that in the hands of an ambitious designing man, it might grow into tyranny as it did in England under Oliver Cromwell, & as it has since done in France. A republic must not only be so in its principles, but in its forms. The executive part of the federal government was made for a man, and those who consented, against their judgment, to place executive power in the hands of a single individual, repented more on the supposed moderation of the person they had in view than on the wisdom of the measure itself.
Two considerations however overcame all objections. The one was the absolute necessity of a federal government. The other the rational reflection, that as government in America is founded on the representative system, any error in the first effect could be reformed by the same quiet and rational process by which the constitution was first formed; and that, either by the generation then living, or by those who were to succeed. If ever America lost sight of this principle, she will be no longer the land of liberty . The father will become the assassin
of the rights of the son and his descendants be a race of slaves.
As many thousands who were minors are grown up to manhood since the name of federalist began, it became necessary, for their information, to go back and shew the origin of the name, which is now no longer what it originally was; but it is the more necessary to do this, in order to bring forward, in the open face of day, the apocrypha of those who first called themselves federalists .
To them it served as a cloak for treason, a mask for tyranny. Scarcely were they placed in the seat of power and office, then federalism was to be destroyed, and the representative system of government, the pride and glory of America, and the palladium of her liberties, was to be overthrown and abolished. The next generation was not to be free. The son was to bend his neck beneath the father's foot, and live deprived of his rights, under hereditary control. Among the men of this apostate description is to be ranked the ex president, John Adams . It has been the political career of this man to begin with hypocrisy, proceed with arrogance, and finish in contempt. May such be the fate of all such characters.
I have had doubts of John Adams ever since the year 1776. In a conversation with me, at that time, concerning the pamphlet Common Sense , he censured it because it attacked the English form of government. John was for independence, because he expected to be made great by it; but it was not difficult to perceive, for the surliness of his temper makes him an awkward hypocrite, that his head was as full of kings, queens and knaves, as a pack of cards. But John has lost deal.
When a man has a concealed project in his brain that he wants to bring forward, and fears will not succeed, he often begins with it as physicians do by suspected poison, try it first on an animal; if it agree with the stomach of the animal, he makes further experiments, and this was the way John took. His brain was teeming with projects to overturn the liberties of America, and the representative system of government, and he began by hinting it in little companies. The secretary of John Jay , an excellent painter & poor politician, told me in presence of another American, Daniel Parker , that in a company where himself was present, John Adams talked of making the government hereditary & that as Mr. Washington had no children it should be made hereditary in the family of Lund Washington. John had not impudence enough to propose himself in the first instance, as the old French Normandy Baron did, who offered to come over & be king of America, & if congress did not accept his offer, that they would give thirty thousand pounds for the generosity of it; but John, like a mole, was grubbing his way to it under ground. He knew that Lund Washington was unknown, for no body had heard of him, and that as the President had no children to succeed him, the vice president had, and if the treason had succeeded, and the hint with it, the goldsmith might be sent for, to take measure of the head of John or his son Q, for a golden wig. In this case the good people of Boston might have had for a king the man they have rejected as a delegate. The representative system is fatal to ambition.
Knowing, as I do, the consummate vanity of John Adams, and the shallowness of his judgment, I can easily picture to myself, that when he arrived at the Federal City, he was strutting in the pomp of his imagination before the presidential house, or in the audience hall, and exulting in the language of Nebuchadnezzar, " Is not this great Babylon that I have built for the honor of my majesty !" But in that unfortunate hour, or soon after, John, like Nebuchadnezzar, was driven from among men and fled with the speed of a post horse.
Some of John Adams' loyal subjects, I fear, have been to present him an address on his birth day but the language they use is too tame for the occasion. Birth day addresses, like birth day odes, should not creep along like drops of dew down a cabbage leaf, but roll in a torrent of poetical metaphor. I will give them a specimen for the next year. Here it is.
When an ant, in travelling over the Globe, lift up his foot and put it again on the ground, it shakes the Earth to its Center: But when YOU the mighty Ant of the East was born, &c. &c. &c. and the center jumped upon the surface.
This, gentlemen, is the proper style of address from wellbred ants to the monarch of the ant hill, and as I never take pay for preaching, praying, politics or poetry, I make you a present of it. Some people talk of impeaching John Adams but I am for softer measures. I would keep him to make fun of. He will then answer one of the ends for which he was born, & be ought to be thankful I am arrived to take his part. I voted in earnest to save the life of one unfortunate king, and now I vote in jest to save another. It is my fate to be always playing with fools. But to return to federalism and apostasy.
The plan of the leaders of the faction was to overthrow the liberties of the new world, and place government on the corrupt system of the old. They wanted to hold their power by a more lasting tenure than the choice of their constituents. It is impossible to account for their conduct and the measures they adopted on any other grounds. But to accomplish that object a standing army and a prodigal revenue must be raised; and to obtain these pretences must be invented to deceive. Alarms of dangers that did not exist even in imagination, but in the distrest spirit of lying, were spread abroad. Apostasy stalked through the land in the garb of patriotism, and the torch of treason blinded for a while the flame of liberty.
For what purpose could an army of twenty five thousand men be wanted? A single reflection might have taught the most credulous, that while the war raged between France and England neither could spare a man to invade America. For what purpose then could it be wanted? The case carries its own explanation, it was wanted for the purpose of destroying the representative system, for it could be employed for no other. Are these men federalists ? If they are, they are federalised to deceive and destroy.
The rage against Dr. Logan's patriotic and voluntary mission to France was excited by the flame they felt at the detection of the false alarms they had circulated.
As to the opposition given by the remnant of the faction to the repeal of the taxes laid on during the former administration, it is easily accounted for.
The repeal of those taxes was a sentence of condemnation to those who laid them on, and in the opposition they gave to that repeal, they are to be considered in the light of criminals standing on their defence, and the country has passed judgment upon them.
THOMAS PAINE. City of Washington, Lovell's Hotel, Nov. 19, 1802.
[We have been requested to publish, with Paine's second letter, the documents of the Old Congress, respecting the dismissal of said Paine, as secretary to their committee for foreign affairs; likewise Gen. Washington's letter to said Paine, and Paine's letter to Gen. Washington, with the comments made thereon; but as the insertion of the documents at length, would occupy too much of our paper, we have taken the liberty of curtailing them, to suit our columns, retaining the substance.]
GAZ. EDIT.
IN THE OLD CONGRESS,
On Wednesday, January 6th 1779, Thomas Paine was summoned to appear at the bar of Congress—He attended and acknowledged himself the author of the pieces published in Mr. Dunlap's paper, under the title of " Common Sense " to the public on Mr. Deane's affairs." He was then ordered to withdraw.
On Thursday the 7th, a number of resolutions were offered, stating, that all the said publications were ill-judged, premature and indiscreet, & ought not to be considered as justly authenticated: That congress never gave occasion for or sanction to said publications: That congress never received any military stores as a present from the court of France, or from any other court or person in Europe: That Mr Paine for his imprudence ought to be dismissed from his office of secretary to the committee of foreign affairs, and the said committee are directed to dismiss him accordingly, and to take such further steps relative to his misapplication of public papers as they shall deem necessary.
As a substitute for which, others were moved, stating, that as Thomas Paine had acknowledged himself the author of a piece in which is the following paragraph, " If Mr. Deane or any other person will procure an order from congress to inspect an account in my office, or any of Mr. Deane's friends will take the trouble of coming themselves, I will give him or them my attendance, and shew them in a hand writing with which Mr. Deane is well acquainted, that the supplies which he so pompously plumes himself upon, were promised and engaged, and that as a present, before he even arrived in France; and the part that fell to Mr. Deane was only to see it done; and how he has performed that service the public are now acquainted with ." The last paragraph in the account is, " Upon Mr. Deane's arrival in France, the business went into his hands, and the aids were at length embarked in the Amphitrite, Mercury and Seine ." That in another piece, is the following article, " and in the second place that those who are now allies, prefaced that alliance by an early and generous friendship, yet that we might not attribute too much to human or auxiliary aid, so unfortunate were these supplies, that only one ship out of the three arrived; the Mercury and Seine fell into the hands of the enemy! " Resolved, that the insinuation contained in the said publications, that the supplies sent to America in the Amphitrite, Seine and Mercury were a present from France, is untrue: That the attempt of said Paine to authenticate the said false insinuations, by referring to papers in the office of the committee of foreign affairs, is an abuse of office: That the said Paine be dismissed from office.
A third set of resolutions were introduced, as a substitute, stating the deep concern of congress at the imprudent publication of Paine, and their readiness to adopt any measures consistent with good policy and their own honor, for correcting any insinuations derogatory to the court of France, and appointing a committee to confer with the minister of France on the subject.
In lieu of the whole, the following resolution was moved: Resolved, that Thomas Paine be summoned to appear before congress at eleven o'clock to-morrow, and be informed what those exceptionable parts are, and called upon to explain and to shew by what authority he made those publications, in order that congress may take proper measures relative thereto.—It passed in the negative.
On Friday the 8th, a letter was received from Mr. Paine, resigning his office of secretary to the committee of foreign affairs, in which are the following words, " finding by the journals of the house that I am not to be heard " &c. Sundry resolutions were offered, the purport of which was, to discover how Paine had acquired that knowledge. After considerable debate, Mr. Laurens declared, that he had informed Mr. Paine, that a motion had been made for hearing him, but that it passed in the negative.
On Saturday the 9th, a resolution passed, declaring that the determination of the question on the 7th did not imply that congress had determined that Mr. Paine was not to be heard.
On Monday the 12th, the following resolution passed: Resolved unanimously, that in answer to the memorials of the honorable Sieur Gerard, minister plenipotentiary of his most Christian Majesty, of the 5th and 10th instant, congress do fully, in the clearest and most explicit manner, disavow the publications referred to in his said memorials; and as they are convinced by indisputable evidence, that the supplies shipped in the Amphitrite, Seine and Mercury, were not a present, and that his most Christian Majesty, the great and generous ally of these United States, did not preface his alliance with any supplies whatever sent to America, so they have not authorised the writer of the said publications to make and such assertions as are contained therein, but on the contrary, do disapprove the same.
On Saturday the 16th, sundry resolutions succeeded each other as amendments, the last of which was in the following words: "Resolved, that the committee of foreign affairs,
be directed to take out of the possession of Thomas Paine all the public papers entrusted to him as secretary to the committee, and then discharge him from office." On the main question being about to be put a division was called for, the first clause passed unanimously. On the question to agree to the second clause, namely, "and then discharge him from office," the states being equally divided, the clause was lost.
So much for this illustrious personage whilst in office.
But we are told that he enjoyed the friendship and esteem of Washington. We are happy in finding it at length acknowledged, that it is an honor to have enjoyed the friendship and esteem of Washington. Let us examine whether Paine was worthy of the friendship expressed in General Washington's letter to him, and in what manner these disinterested and unsolicited services were returned.
GEN. WASHINGTON'S LETTER TO PAINE.
Rocky Hill, Sept. 10, 1783.

G. WASHINGTON.
EXTRACTS FROM
PAINE'S LETTER TO WASHINGTON.
Errors or caprices of the temper can be pardoned or forgotten; but a cold, deliberate crime of the heart, such as Mr. Washington is capable of acting, is not to be washed away. [Page 39.]
The injury which Mr. Washington's administration has done to the character as well as to the commerce of America, is too great to be repaired by him. [Page 49.]
In what a fraudulent light must Mr. Washington's character appear in the world when his declarations and his conduct are compared together. [Page 49.]
It is laughable to hear Mr. Washington talk of sympathetic feelings , who has always been remarked, even among his friends, for not having any. [Page 54.]
The successful skirmishes at the close of the campaign of 1776, (matters that would scarcely be noticed in a better state of things make the brilliant exploits of General Washington's seven years campaign.—No wonder we see so much pusillanimity in the president, when we see so little enterprize in the general. [Pa. 57.]
As to you sir, treacherous in private friendship, and a hypocrite in public life, the world will be puzzled to decide, whether you are an apostate or an impostor; whether you have abandoned good principles, or whether you ever had any.
And yet Paine is recommended to the people of the United States, because he enjoyed the friendship and esteem of Washington—Paine is the last man in America who should accuse our Illustrious Hero with a want of sympathetic feelings , and of treachery in private friendship, as it was principally owing to the generous exertions and great influence of Washington in his behalf, that he obtained the five hundred pounds from the state of Pennsylvania, the three thousand dollars from Congress, and other assistance from New-York and New-Jersey. Behold! the grateful return for all these services is the most wanton, deliberate and unfounded abuse, in order to ruin a reputation gained by the most meritorious services and splendid actions, and a long and laborious life, devoted to the service of his country, and the happiness of his fellow citizens.
It was this attempt to destroy the character and popularity of Washington, that rendered Paine such a favorite with the President and his party. These are the useful labors , which from their bond of union & friendship. Americans will hardly be able to resist claims upon their gratitude, thus powerfully urged; nor view with indifference the warm friends and advocates of a man, thus honorably distinguished for his violent abuse, and unfounded calumnies of Washington.
TAKE NOTICE.
WHEREAS a certain WILLIAM SPEERS, said to be from the county of Pulaski, came to my house on the 24th of November last, and by insinuations in private, to a Negro man of mine, induced said negro, to go from my possession for six days, during which time, he, said Speers, kept in the neighborhood, where said negro concealed himself, in order to get the negro away; the inducements offered to the negro were, that he would set him free at the expiration of four years, and give him twenty dollars. To prevent any further injustice, I will handsomely reward any person who will apprehend said Speers, and put him in Lexington jail, so that he may be dealt with according as the law may direct.

ROBERT PATTERSON, Chm.
December 9th 1802.

Lexington, December 21.
At 8 o'clock on Thursday morning the mercury in Fahrenheit's thermometer stood at 1 above 0, and at the same hour yesterday morning as high as 55.
By the last accounts from Frankfort, we learn, that the bill establishing circuit courts, had passed both branches of the legislature, but that the governor had not approved it, nor was it supposed he would.
On the 13th inst. the general assembly passed the following resolution:
RESOLVED, That the members of the general assembly wear mourning, in token of that high regard and respect, which the people of Kentucky entertain for the memory of the deceased General Benjamin Logan, the firm defender of his country.
To the electors in the congressional district, composed of the counties of Shelby, Henry, Gallatin, Franklin, Scott, Harrison, Boone, Campbell, Pendleton, and Bracken.
FELLOW CITIZENS, Having been declared a candidate in this district for the next congress, it is proper to inform you of the general principles of policy, by which my votes shall be directed, if appointed by you a member of that body; and as the most clear, concise and elegant declaration of these, I shall adopt the terms in which Mr. Jefferson lately avowed his; pledging myself to you for a faithful observance of them.
"Equal and exact justice to all men, of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political:—peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none:—The support of the state governments, and the surest bulwarks against anti-republican tendencies:—The preservation of the general government in its whole constitutional vigor, as the sheet anchor of our peace at home, and safety abroad:—a jealous care of the right of election by the people, a mild and safe corrective of abuses which are lopped by the sword of revolution, where peaceable remedies are unprovided:—Absolute acquiescence in the decisions of a majority, the vital principle of republics, from which is no appeal but to force, the vital principle and immediate parent of despotism: A well disciplined militia, our best reliance in peace, and for the first moments of war, till regulars may relieve them:—The supremacy of the civil over the military authority:—Economy in the public expence, that labor may be lightly burthened:—The honest payment of our debts, and sacred preservation of the public faith:—Encouragement of agriculture, and commerce as its handmaid:—The diffusion of information, and the arraignment of all abuses at the bar of the public reason:—Freedom of religion, freedom of the press, and freedom of person, under the protection of Habeas Corpus—and trial by juries impartially selected."
This declaration was so universally acceptable and satisfactory to the people, from the first magistrate of the nation, that it is supposed to be an unexceptionable test for all those aspiring to other offices in the republic. If any thing ought to be added by me, the late violation of our treaty with Spain, on the part of that power, is above all other things entitled to notice. I have not language cogent enough to express my sense of our right to that river, and the unspeakable benefits ultimately resulting to all the region of the Ohio, from its use:—without this, we are but half rewarded for our conquest of this country:—without it, we but half enjoy the blessings of our fertile fields. Until we possess a tract of territory on the bank of the Mississippi, where the tide flows, that river will only tantalize our hopes and expectations as it has hitherto; but produce no real advantage. As, however, we are dependant on the federal government for this, it is difficult to say when or how we are to get it; all we can do at present, is to be instant and pressing for redress, with a generous confidence that our nation will give it, as expeditiously and effectually as her circumstances will permit.
I am, gentlemen, Very respectfully Your fellow citizen, JOS. H. DAVEISS. Frankfort, 13th December, 1802.
PHILADELPHIA, November 27. We are told, that some short time ago, information being given to the commandant at Hispaniola, that a schooner was supplying the blacks with military stores, &c. a French frigate was dispatched to seize her, when a chase of 15 days took place & the schooner got into St. Thomas before the frigate, where the captain ran her under the protection of the fort and 2 Danish frigates, laying there.—The Frenchman followed, and immediately sent his barge, with a body of marines, and took possession of the schooner notwithstanding her being in a foreign port, and under the protection of its guns.—The captain of the schooner having pushed on shore, as soon as he came to anchor, the French captain demanded him of the governor, who replied he could not deliver up a Burgher, which the cap-
tain of the schooner was: what further took place our informant did not learn.
NEW-YORK, November 29.
ST. DOMINGO.
Captain Appleton, arrived at Boston, from Cape Francois, who sailed from thence October 10, mentions that the affairs of the French in St. Domingo were in the most forlorn situation. Porte-Paix had been burnt, and many whites massacred. October 14, near the Cape a severe action took place between the blacks and the French. The former were victorious, and took a fort. The evening previous to the engagement a negro general and 1500 blacks deserted from Le Clerc. The dereliction of Christophe was expected to follow. A number of Americans, who served, some voluntarily, others by compulsion, were killed and wounded in this battle. The negroes were considered at 15,000 strong; Le Clerc's army was reduced to about 4000. The general, who was without the Cape, doubting his ability to protect the city, ordered the sick and wounded to be removed, and gave permission for the women and children to depart. The valuable effects are removing on board the fleet. Business was suspended. The acting American consul, Mr. Dodge, had embarked in a vessel from Portsmouth. American vessels were embargoed, and ordered off the bar. These measures indicated an expectation of being obliged to abandon the place. Capt. A. adds, that a few hours before he failed he was told by the proprietor of the American Coffee-house, that it was reported Le Clerc had agreed with the black commander in chief, had that the French troops should leave the island in three days, and that an armistice had of course taken place.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
ORIGINAL.
THE TRANSFIGURATION, A HYMN.
 1. The darkness of sorrow religion can brighten, And death's lurid shade its lustre enlighten; The bleak mountain's top converts into heaven, If Jesus be there and the spirit be given.  2. 'Twas thus when to Tabor, the Saviour ascended; O thrice blest the men, who the vision attended! Some faint rays of glory the scene only borrows, And radiance shone God-like thro' the man of sorrows.  3. Clad in vestures of light, the vision discloses Two celestial forms, Elias and Moses; At his feet they do homage in sweet exultation, Lay down all their glory and speak of his passion.  4. Then Peter's glad soul felt the full tide of pleasure, Saw earth's glory vanish, nor sought other treasure; " 'Tis good to be here," said he, lost in joy's mazes, "We'll dwell still with Moses, Elias & Jesus."  5. Sweet moments of rapture, to mourners are given! We soar to, and sing on the confines of Heaven; In vain at our feet, the loud tempest maddens, While Jesus, transfigur'd, our spirit thus gladdens.  6. Death's terrors appal not, we tread the bright mountain; And smile at his sting, scourged out in the fountain: On corruption's dark form, see rich graces are blending, And o'er the grave's gloom, softest lustre descending.  7. O for this sweet triumph, dear Lord, we adore thee, Thy death bids us shout near the portal of glory. But brighter the moment that breaks every fetter: To wake in thy likeness, we know is still better.  8. We'll meet our lost friends, on the fair shore of promise, Nor Death, unrelenting, e'er sever them from us: With myriads triumphant, we'll swell the full chorus, Sing Jesus' dear merit, & gaze on his glories.  9. No tear wets the eye, thro' all the bright region; No troubles affail there, nor hell's gloomy legion; Of parting none know, there the keen throbbing anguish, Love ripens to bliss, & its joys never languish.  10. While high borne on faith's wing, our spirits thus labor, Up the fam'd hill of Zion, we lose sight of Tabor: Then Oh to be there—come O Lord do not tarry! Some band of bright Seraphs our souls upward carry!
