FOR THE CALIFORNIAN.

TO THE MURDER ERso or
E.P. LOVEJOY.
The deed is done the spirit fed,
To dwell in upper skies,
A martyr numbers with the dead;
His grave in Alton lies
Your hauds are reeking in the blood
OF one who plead with might,
For God and for his country stood,
For liberty, and light
Swift through his true devoted breast,
That felt for others woes,
Your cruel, deadly bullets prest,
And checked life's healthful throes.
Lovejoy stood by his injured cause,
AS Peter by his Lord,
But counter to his Masters laws,
Drew the defensive sword.
Oh twas a warm mistaken zeal
That burned-'twill be forgiven,
Since he sought not selfish veal,
But fought the cause of Heaven
While for the loss of him we grieve,
Who sleeps beneath the sod,
In future, place beneath its sheath,
The sword-a and trust in God.
Oh, what fiendish yell was rung
Around his lifecss head,
AS murderous lips of old and young
EAuting cried, "he's dead"
Thought ye of her-that bosom friend.
Whose heart ye'd rent in twain
And of those babes? Who'll now defend
What father clasp again
Long had We thirsted for his blood,
He for the faith was bold,
And we'll Atonians understood
His was not bought with gold.
He plead for rights his country gave
OF speech, and FOR the press;
He died in struggling these to save,
Shall he have no redress
Ye western wolves vast not enough
To tear one tender heart?
Look on your dripping claws so rough;
A nation feels the smart.
From faithful friends their strength will bring
at is a freewilI Offering
Due to our God and cause
But ye have made reckless thrust
At freedoms vital part
Yet never in her heart shall rust,
That treacherous, fatal dart.
No! think not thus to stif1o all
Our Abolition life
Our injured brothers recent fall
But wakes us to the strife.
And Oh proud Alton times stain,
The eye with horror meets;
Not Mississippi's tide again
Can cleanse thy guilty streets.
If ever blood for blood should cry,
Or life for life be given,
Then should these ruthless murderers die,
And feel the wrath of Heaven.
Yet tbs not ours to deal the blow,
Your blood we would not she'd
But let truths living embers glow,
Heaped on your guilty heads.
We ask not that whitening blight
On you and yours be sent,
We ask to change from wrong to right;
We say, repent repent!

There let me hope, my journey done,
To see the still.
