plant their standards upon oiir snores snail pe u'I-
ven back upon the waves OF the Atlantic; u Is only
divisions amongst ourselves it is only internal com
motions that can blast the fair fields of our coun-
try 1t is only when brother rises against brother,
and father arms against son; II is only when dones-
tic happiness shall be put TO flight by the brand OF
civil war, that our liberties can be endangered 1t
is only the unnatural divisions OF north and south,
of east and west which have already been held up
to us by the designing denagogue that can turn our
harves, fields into fields OF slaughter, make our
mountain waves run purple with human gore and
subvert at one blow the liberties oil our country
from such an even, may the God Of the Universe
protect us-In God we will put our trust land IN the
Justice Of our cause, and still The Star spangled
banner in triumph shall wave over the land OF
the free, and the home of the brave.'- The Joy
that is manifested upon this s. similar occasions as
sures u.s. that there is not at this time much cause
of alarm; if the liberty OF our country was not
priced by her sons this day would not be thus
welcomed The Joy displayed upon every coun-
tenance will warn the ambitious asrirant OF the
danger attending any unhallowed attempt upon
our liberty. 1t is enough to alarm tyrant and
cause him to shudder in his palace. Let US then
assemble round the altar of liberty, and make our
votive offering, and swear by our sires, that the
rich legacy they have left shall be preserved I'M
impaired. Let recollect the gallant exploits OF
our forefath.rs and the time when the mother pre-
pared her sons TO be shield and buckler for their
country, when the fair daughters of America bid
their suitors win them by their gallantry, and shew
by the manner in which they protected their
country, how they would protect them Lei US
in the time OF peril {" wave our swords on high,
and swear for our country to live, for our country
to die;'' then shall liberty be immortal, then
shall our lives become an example to Others; then
shall future generations hail remembrance with
Joy, and bless US as now bless our fathers The
Goddess of Liberty will continue her abode amongst
us; peace will crown our labors, and Wi 1t our
country will flourish
