The day was propitious, the weather was clear,
And two suitors for popular favour appear; :,
One lawyer well known as both learned ana
profound,
The other in wit Of the world did abound;
A truent to books, but sagacious OF mind,
For while Others read books, he was reading mail
kind
Proclamation is made and the voters rush IN,
And the murmur once silenced, the speakers oe'

First the lawyer arose, bat it boots not TO tell,
From his lips, of State Rights, all that iorc'o'y
fell;
Suffice 1t to say, that his able Grafton
Was ihouuht To smack somewhat OF nuilihcation'
But when he had ceased his supporters huZLaeu'
While his firmness and worth cen opponents aP'
plaud.>
The man of the world next rose to reply
fila manner collected. but keen his grey eye
He smoke of the "good Old Dominion" he loved,
Of her school disciple, her course he approved;
Tic cbamnion of State Rights she ever had been
In the battles of liberty foremost was seen;
Her statesmen aud warriors had yielded to none,
Since the fight for American freedom begun,
In wisdom and proves aud patriot zeal,
Far American honor, American veal
And the manner and heart OF the orator warmed,
AS he spoke Of the Union their wisdom had form
ed,
of that star, .pangled banner that floats on the
breeze,
Trumphantv riding DER boiSterous seas.
And hoped, ere its bright constellation should set
1t should light us to many victory yet.
" have been to the South" he Indignantly
cried,
All their chivalry seen, and their folly beside;
q" have been to that land which now signs 10

Sc And Modification avows as its creed.
