composed for the occasion by General g. p Nor
ris, was sung with great effect by Mr. Nash, Of the

ing in the chorus, which came up from the assem-

waves of the great sea.
GOD HAS MADE US FREE!
NATIONAL ANTHEM
Writen by George p. Morris, esq.
Freedom spreads her downy wings
Over all created things;
Bend low to Him the knee.
Bring the heart before His throne
Bow to Him. and Him alone
He's the only king own,
And He has made us free!
Chor1s-Arm and on ye brave and free.
Strike for God and Liberty!
The hottest spot q smiling sun
Ere shed his genial rays upon,
Is that which gave W.sHisaroH
The dropping world to cheer
Sound the clarion peals Of Fame,
We who bear Columbia's nsme-
with existence freedom came
II is mans birth.right here.
Chorus-Arm and on, ye brave and free!
Heirs Of an immortal sire,
Let his deeds your hearts inspire
Weave the strain and wake the Tyre,
Where your proud affairs stand:
Hail with shouts and loud hurrahs,s
Streaming from thousand spsrs,
Freedoms rainbow flag Of stars,
The symbol Of our land!
Chorns-Arm and on, ye brave and free!
Strike for God and Liberty!
Levi D. Slamm then came forward with a series
of resolutions, which we're received with vociferous
cheering, the immense mass Of the people seeming
to be moved with but single impulse, in respond
ing to their sentiments, as they were read from the
stand.
The resolutions are as follows:
The citizens of the city aud county Of No York. IN
general meeting assembled, in piep Of the fact that a
state ofnar erists befoeen The government Of sMerco
and the United States, pass the Joifocing resoiu-
fons:
Rssoiped, That the aggravated and multiplied
wrongs to which our country has been subjected 10y
the authorities Of Mexico for long series Of years
and for which reparation has been repeatedly de-
manded, and continues to be withheld, and which
at last followed by the refusal TO receive an en-
| voy appointed to make an amicabe adjustment Of
existing controversies, and contaminated by actua
hostlities have brought our relations with that ma
ton into crisis in which forbesrance ceases to be
a virtue, and submission would be deemed pusilani
nous by the civilized world.
Resolved, That this meeting cordially approve Of
the authority given by Congress to the President o.
the United States to call out $4,000 volunteers, and
for the employment Of the army and navy OF the
United States in defending the American soil thur
unex pectedly assailed, and in the signal and ever
svenging punishment Of its invaders; that this s
cause in which we can appeal with entire confidence
for the purity Of our motives TO the God Of battles
and with full reliance upon the rcsistless energies
OF our eIlow-citizens TO defeat the enemy and pre-
serve the integrity Of the Union; and we hereby
