their insnlts, and march against the invader.
Be it so. But who is this invader! Comes
he with racks & scourges, to scatter recking

as monuments of scorn? Comes he with full

mortal enemy-looll to him well-he'n rob
US Of our LIBERTY.
But, e'er we fight, go, call at Edwards

wake-bid him rise and fight his enemies-
Brave as tie lion-gcntler than the lamb
the sparkling jewel Of an ancient house-the
noblest blood of any in our land, and nobler
than your kings, ran through his veins. He
hears you not--hc sleeps to wake no more
Of all his country, and Of all he owned, there
rests no more to him than the cold gr-ye he

They have no father, for you murdered him !
ihey have no country, but the green sod that
rests upon his grave You robbed their guilt
less infancy-tainted their innocent blood
plundered their harmless cradles Il
Go then to Crosby's tomb # His only crime
was, that he was beloved-Can Coldcloueh,
Esmond, Grogan, Harvey still nobler in their
virtues than in their station, and their anci-

X! Call whole devoted families, whom YOU
have swept from off the surface of their ma
coil. N r. L.
for you.
Call those two brothers, whose hearts in life
were joined-in death united-hune on one
giboet-beheaded with one axe-Bid the two
Sheares's rise and fight for you, and die a.
gain together, in your country's cause--they
will 6efriend you.
There were two brothes Tones, no ordina-
~ souls Bid theM rise too from out their
common grave and fight together for YOU
He that first led his countrymen to union, will
lead them now to victory
Call on the multitude of reverend men of
all the various sects of Christian faith, whom
you have murdered Call on them by the
: sacred Office of their priesthood and by that
COP, whose holy word they taught-to pray
toryou. But if they sleep too sound, or win
not hearken, go to the flocks they led, and
they viii follow yoa with many and many a
blessing.
Call from the earth where Porter's ashes
lie, the gentle emanations of his gcnius--the
lucid beams of mild philosophy--you want
such light-they will be very serviceable.
Go to Belfast, and parley with the heads
you there impalcd--those silent witnesses of
your humanity, who gave 10 all that looked
askance and terrified upon them, such NOV
ing lessons of your mild persuasion, as won
all hearts to love you--Those tongueless mon
itors were passing eloquent--bid them speak
for yo'.--they will recruit you soldiers and
VIII honor you, and draw their willing swords
20 fight your battles.
Call upon Russell, whose once gentle heart
you turned to desperate madness, and slew
him like a ruflian.
Invoke the croud Of brave and gallant vic
