(From the West Chester (Pa.) Rccord.)
A NEW WIG SONG.

Some time since, the Richmond Enquirer, in
commenting on published letter written by Hen
ny Clay TO some of his political friends, styled it
in derision-"a blast from the Buge,' and af-
fected to consider il as summons which tho
Wings Of the Union would not venture to DISC
hey. These remarks induced the following sony
by the Hon. FRANCIS JAMES, which was sung by
the request of tho West Chester Clay Club.
"a BLAST FROM THEBU GLE
TusE-"Star Spangled Banner"
blast from the Buglc'-say heard yc the sound.
AS II rolled from the West, mountain and valley
Twas a signal for Patriots, the country around,
To make for the contest glorious rally;
Regard then its call, yc Wings one and all,
Prepare for the confct-to conquer fall.
ga blast from the Buglc," oh list to its strain,
As it echoes in hundcrs, from Georgia to Maine.
Like the trump Of chcf--blown to gather his clan,
Twill arouse every freeman, though heavy his slun
bcrs
And urge him TO deeds, well BETTING the man,
Who deserves TO be rank in army of numbers
For want but the true, who will dare and will do,
Whatever TO honor and right shall be due;
When ga blast from the Bugc," shall stir up train
In low land and highland, from Georgia TO Maine.
No craven wish to respond to its call:
And oh! may its loud notes, no TRAITORS awaken
But deep be his sleep, as the depths of his fall,
Let him breathe on neglected, degraded forsakcn;
Let his name fade away, from the light Of the day,
And the honors which once cncircled his way
While blast from the Buglc-nc'cr issued in vain,
Shall inspirit each freeman from Georgia to Maine.
List Ca blast from the Buglc''-hark. bark how it
peals;
To the rescue yc gaans fall-fall in for Harry!
The pride of the Wcst-him whose candor reveals
All, all that he is-then pray you don't larry,
But come IN his aid. who has betrayed
A friend or proved false 10 the promise he made.
List! ga blast from the Buglcit rolls Ger the plain
And startlcss an echo from Georgia to Maine.
