From .he TRENTON ravx AMERICAN.


IT'S strange, it's passing strange that no wron
Can wean our Tory feds from the wicked British ma
tion,
But they win still with all their might uphold ant
advocate her, -.
While every True American must needs oppose ans
hate her.
She mans her cursed Wooden Walls" from oul
deenceless ships,
And makes our generous sesmen smart beneath hei
knotted whips
Makes them her loa hsome tasks perform, her guilty
battles fight,
And every wrong inhicts them, thus robbd si
every right.
From Europes better portion she cuts off our lie.
gal trade
BY her arbitrary orders and her counterfeit block
ade,
Takes vessels cargoes, men, in her complicated tolls,
Her golfers fills, her fleet recruits from these pira-
tick spos.
Her squadrons hover our coasts in open face OF
day, -e
And p0unce upon their victims the vulture on his
prey, 4
And tho resistance be not made, nor hostile acts
withstood,
Our mariners mastered, our decks are drench'd

To injury she adds insult, and TO Injustice scorn
As II TO try how long we can her vilianiet endure,
Refuses To rsdress the past, or future 70 secure
A special Envoy true she sends, Of her sordid
Roses,
AS If nation on the rack could be regapd with po-

No satisfaction can he make for one of her trans

Till starv'd npoverishd and aarm'd, our trade she
q stoops To court,
For injuries past she promises ample reparation
For future good behaviour gives solemn obligation
Like sinner on death bed laid, well she feigns
repentance,
We take her word, our ships unmoor, and full sup
plies sent hence I'LL
The blest relief rapaciously she grasps with greedy
clutches, .....-.. .
And then in per6dy out-docs the most abandoned

A mscreant Who the gibbet would eternally dis

peace.
As prowling wolves in Aeeces wrapp'd conceal their
Or base assassns veil'd and m.sk'd disguise each

She fills our land with factions by her agsp!srpd
Her presses almost delugs US with SANDERS and with
lies,
She prate, Of peace, yet brisky whets the sword Of
war the while,
And aims dagger at our heart, tho in our face che
smile.
The Councils of our nation arc disgraced by bro'
and chickering's,
BY her Quincys and her Gardeners, her Hillhouse,
and Pickerngs,
Whom many honest folks suspect she tamphsrs with
To applaud whate'er She does, and to echo all she
says.
All /! whittier has the spirit flown which wrough,

And ON our independence rear'd our glorious Con-

Despots driven,
BY their intr,sues, aud traitors wiles, be hence ex

Rise freemen Rise, with one accord express your
indignation,
Al those who tamey would submit to foreign usur

And stimulate our barbarous foes to heap acw inju

Let nations know f any doubt, our firm determin
alton
To guard our country's sacred rights from furthe,
violation,
That while the path of peace we love, and gladly
would pursue it,
The power tina; drags into war shall nave full
caase to rue it.
