WRITTEN ron rHE OCCASION BY y. HALLocK
Here's health TO the land whose proud eagles are
sweeping,
In triumph and JOY ocean and sea
Spreads far the glad tidngs Of freedom while keep
The vigs oflove DER the happy aud free.
| Ever bright be the fame upon liberty's altar,
While tyrannys minions submissvely yield
Their hand TO the chain their necks the halter
BE 1t ours 10 live free or 10 expire on the field,
Here's health unto him who, when darkness de-
scended,
( And factions wild paans in triumph arose.
Democracys Egis, A" the Veto," extended
Protecting rights and confounding our foes.
Here's health unto him who, to fasebood a stran-
ger,
With the glory and veal of his country in view,
Ever true TO his trust in the moment Of danger,
His arm the dark sea Of corruption o'erlhrew.
Though the false summer friends that once gathered
around him
Shrunk tremblingy back in the moment of need
Though the breath Of detraction may seek to con-
found him.
While intrigue her snare in his pathway may spread
Yet thousands more true, from each mountain and
valley,
When echos the wachword from mountain to plain
In friendship and love round his standard shall rally
To crown him with honors green laurels again.
