AIR-'A Life on tie Ocean Wcye.'
Make room on our banner bright,
That flaps in the lifting gale,
For the orb that lit the fight
In Jacinto's stored vale.
Through clouds, all dark Of hue,
Il arose with radiant face;
Oh! grant to sister true,
Ye stars, in your train place!
The blood Of the Saxon flows
In the veins of'men who cry, S
Give cdr, give ear unto those
Who pine for their native sky
We call ON our mother. land
For home in Freedoms hall
While stretching forth the hand,
Oh build no dividing wall!
"The Mexican vannteth no more
In strife we have tanned his pride:
The coward raps not at your door,
Speak out shall it open wide
Oh, the wish Of our hearts is strong,
That the star Of Jacinto's fight
Have Placed in the flashing throng
That spangle your banner-bright."

him that this manufacturing was game thas

lessened the consumption and demand. The

cried out Justify for moro protection. He
could not stand up under The system, he could
