the gentlemen escort either side rode black charg-

Awake Dark Treason's plotting band
Would rend the wreath from Freedoms brow:
Awake! proud guardians Of her land,
And pledge the word, and breathe the vow,
| Thro' sun and shade-in veal and woe,
By Mans immortal hopes We swear,
That never shall the recreant foe
That bright and sacred chaplet tear!
When rang her voice DER hill and plain,
And Echo bore it DER the sea-
That Man no more should wear the chain,
But live as God proclaim'd him-free
Your dauntless Fathers nobly stood
The firm and hardy Artisan
The Farmer, from his peaceful wood,
And fought and died for free-born man.
From hallow'd scenes her spirit came,
Her gather'd glories heamng bright
The Patriots glow-the Hero's fame,
Were mingled with the Heaven-born light
How clearly, on the spreading air,
She hail'd her soul-devoted band:
"My consolidated Banner rear
And never shame Columba's land"
Oh then how rose the battle cry,
To Earths remotest regions borne,
OF mentor Freedom taught to die,
And taught the Traitors name to scorn.
They smile amid eternal day,
BY grateful millions ever blest;
Their work shall never know decay
The great Republic of the West!
| Dark be their path till lifes last scene,
Undying scorn their portion be,
| Who gave their cheers to Brtain's Queen,
And spurn'd the home of Liberty
Their names stain not tn illumn'd scroll
From Honors temple bright unfurld,
| Where Patriots pledge, with pride of soul,
"The highest Office of the World! ~
The procession, in this order, and attended by thou
sands and tens of thousands Of spectators of ali sorts
sexes, grades colors and conditions, and extending
| over mile in length, marched up Chatham street
and the Bowery to Blocker street down Blocker
| to Carmine street down Carmne to Hudson street
down Hudson to Canal street up Canal to Broad
way down Broadway to the south gate of the Park
thence up the east walk to front OF the City Hall,
when the ladies escorted in their carriages TO
their respective homes, while the vast crowd ORA
nized themselves into the most TREMENDOUS public
| meeting seen in New York, after giving nine
cheers for the President of the United States, which
| rent the very heavens with their echoes.
Thus has closed great and glorious day-a day
| which will be remembered as long as the annals Of
American history are read or regarded day which
establishes at and forever, the great and impor
tant truth that let politicians and arsocrats act as
they may-let them humbug the people, and betray
the honor of the nation--rHE PEOPLE WILL TAKE cARx
or THE COUNTRY.

York Piebian, the representative of those hum
