PATRIOTIC SoNG.-Let the following glorious Sor
from the Albany Journal. go the rounds ofthe Hariso
press and be sung and shouted BY the whole people
L TiPPECANoE.
hurrah Tor the Father ofal the green west
FOR The Buckeye who follows The plough
The ioemsn in terror his valor contest.
And well honor The conqueror now.
His country assailed in the darkest of days
To her rescue impatient he few
The war whoop's fell blast. aud the rife red blaze.
But awaken'd old TiPpceanoe.
On Maumee's dark waters. along with brave WAYNE
Green laurels he glean'6 with his sword;
bIt when peace on the country came smiling again,
His steel to the scabbard restored.
But wise in the Council. ss brave in the Field.
His country sill asked for his aid;
And The birth of young Empires his wisdom revealed
The Sage and the Statesman displayed.
But the red torch OF war. the icmahavk's rlc,m
To the battle again called the true:
And there where the stars and the stripes brightly
stream.
Rushed the Hero Of Tippecanos.
Now bark from the far frozen wilds OF the North
What battle shouts burthen the gale
ihe hosts OF Old England ride CALAMITY forth.
And the captive and conquered bewah.
Iis coea,ry recalls the bold chiefain she loves.
The sword Of Old Tip she reclaims;
And victory heralds wherever he moves.
The path of the Hero of Thames.
Hurrnh for the Hero ofTippecahoc-
The Farmer who Ploughs at North Bead!
1 Sollier so brave and a Patriot 81 true,
VIII find in each freeman a friend.
Hurrah for the Log-cabin hicforoa choice
For the old Indian Fighter hurah!
llurrnh and from mountain and valley the voice
Ot the People rc-echoes-hurrah,
Then come to the ballotbas-boys, come along;
lie never lost barle for you-
Let us down with oppression and tyranny's ihronr,
And mp with Old Tippccaneei
Chariism in England Let us no, sup.
pose because a design has suffered a tenn.
porary check and Illustration from the un
fitness. the headlong folly, and cowardice
OF its leaders, that it has, therefore, failed.
What mi. Int have been what must have
bcen-ihe result al Newport, if the wild
mob had had other and able lcaders?-
And what may not be the result if other
and able leaders should be found hereaf
ter? The consideration is no how to o.
vcrcome these myriads Of insurgents,
which we can always do 0y force, at an
expenditure Of blood, but how to prevent
insurrection. What can be done ought 10
be done. Extend 10 them the wise lenily
Of paternal Legislation. Hear their com.
plants dispassionately set the m Iiesty OF
Justice above the terrors Of the sword, and
disarm them by reason. DO not trea'
their grievances-even IL they be v~isiona.
ry and unreal-with derision and con.
tempt. They arc a part and a parcel Of
the life ofthis Kingdom, and are entitled
to sympathy and protection If their de
mands are extravagnnt and incompatible
with the safety Of our institutions, or the
liberties orthe subject, demonstrate 10 then,
the folly and impol.cy Of their wishes.
Much is I. be done by an appeal to the
common interests Of men, to their dones
tic affections, their social security-more
than by q thousand examples octhe gibbe'
and the prison-ship.
