"WE stoop to conquer" What do WE stoop 10
cOmgxer7 1t is not foreign snemy that WE stoopio
conqver When, ii the revolution, every patriot and
every lover ofbery and every friend of colonial etah
cipaon was at his post uniting with the sgners OF the
declaration of America independence stalking life for
tune and reputation in the glorious cause of feedon
many of WE were on the other side. WE were on the
side of the Hessians and when our country was inva-
ded and second struggeto maintain our independence
called every patriot to stand by his country, WE were
among the missing; WE were again oh the side of the
Hessians; and sir add TO the collection have before
Supposed all the surviving tories of the revolution, and
all tie surviving tories Of or last war; and nineyhne
id bundled ofthem will be found in the ranks of WE
and when in conformity with one universal shout of ap
probation wide this Union, from every patriot in it,
the peopleS representation (hedehiotratc party pas
sed an act to refund unjust and rascay fine imposed
upon General Jackson, by British tory Judge for de-
tending his country, WE were opposed to the measure.
Some of WE voted for it, because WE dare dare not
do otherwise but it was the most nauseous dose ever
WE had 10 swallow. But some Of WE voted against
it while others of WE skulked and did hot vote at all
So it ever has been when political question or mea-
sure has interested this country which had British side
to il, WE have been on the British side.
Who isi, then, "WE stSap ID eOnquer9" It is an en-
emy more obnoxious to WE than those who fired our
BORDERS desolated our frontier murdered ndscriminae.

the democracy may stay eonquered "We stoop ID con.

this Infamous aagto the view Of every democrat and
every lover of human liberty and human equality In this
widespread tepublic. know would spread patriot

repulsbh fot modern whiggery would rest on the brow
Of every man whohas heart for his country.

| THE DEMOCRATS REBUKE. -.
| WE stoop to conquer cursed the thought
The lip that spoke-the land that peund it;
Our country never shall be bought, r
Nor conquered, while we eah defend il;
| As bravesths storm the mountain rock,
AS Sleaves the cloud the eagles pinion,
Wen meet oppressions battle Shock
And triumph DER conuption's minion.
WE sto0p to GoDquer Who are WEI
That from OUR thountaih Height descending
Break fashions cobweb barriers through,
And with the sons Of feemen blending,
With golden bribe ahd tteacherons smile, u
Sow the vile seeds Of rank pollution,
n And with OUR reptile slime defle,

/ Whence. WE descend 70 conquer nations1
Poor nurselings Of the federal lstye,

# WE stoop to cohdfeH Whomi the free
lnheritors of glory's banner,

Children of sires whose vaIor tore
From tyrant brows the diadem,
And in the march oi nations lore
/ The first proud trophy won from them7

OF him who bore thatbapner, linger
Forever on the roll Of shame,
