THE WAR CRY OF THE DEMOCRATS
P. A. DURIvAGE.
Ones more unfurl that standard,
That has cheered our hearts of old;
The glorious flag of victory
Asain-again unfold!
Our steadfast hills reverbcrato
The rolling of the drum;
And springing to the battle-call
The sons of triumph come.
With Cass and Butler at our head,
And every omen lucky
With Michigan We'll form our van
And charge with old Kentucky.
The North has heard the summons
And rouses in its might,
Where falls upon its giant hills
The earliest ray Of light.
And all along the Northern lakes,
The arms of freemen shine,
While far amid the mighty West,
Extends the hammered line.
Then arm for Cass and Butler arm!
With every omen lucky;
For Michigan leads on our van,
Backed up by old Kentucky.
The fair and gallant South responds
The warm land of the sun
Her ancient glories fire her heart
For laurels to be won,
Along the Mississippi food
Where dark Missouri pours
Where frowns the Allegheny ridge,
The soul and strength are ours.
With Cass and Butler at our head,
And every omen lucky;
With Michigan we'll form our van,
And charge with old Kentucky.
Oh! vainly would the foeman
Assume our flag and brand,
His borrowed plumage shall be shorn
With unrelepting hand,
The mocking bird will cease to pour
Its simulated cry,
When the fierce eagle spreads his wing
In triumph on the sky.
With Cass and Butler at our head,
And every omen lucky ..
With Michigan we'll form our van
And charge with old Kentucky.
Then rally around our leader,
Our flag fling to the breeze
Twas he who swore the stars and stripes
Unstained should rule the seas.
IF every sea behold that flag
Defy the ocean blast,
Remember, it was Lewis Cass
That nailed it to the mast!
His name upon that banner read
And deem the omen lucky
With Michigan close up the van 3d..
And charge with old Kentucky.
Low kneel the foreign. foeman
And sorely rue the day,
That Butler led in fire and steel
The storm at Monterey,
And surely as he crushed the foe,
Upon that day of fame
Their base allies at home shall own
The terror of his name.
With Cass and Butler for our chiefs,
And every omen lucky
With Michigan we'll form the van
--- And charge with old Kentucky.
Then spread once more the standard,
To the battle and the breeze
Strike for our country's honor
And the freedom of the seas;
Strike! for the glorious destinies
That wait our race of fame,
And write the death-doom of the Wings
In words of whitening flame.
With Cass and Butler leading on,
Our star is bright and lucky
With Michigan close up the van
And charge with old Kentucky.

A WHEEL WITHIN A WHEEL,

1t is we'll known that Mr.. Nathan A. Steadman,
of Chatham County, Delegate to the late Wing
State Convention, did more than any other man to
procure the nomination of Mr.. Manly for Governor,
thereby deprvng the East of the choice of it's favor
ite, Edward Stanly, Esq. Mr.. Manly was County
Attorney for Chatham. Soon after he was nominated
he resigned this Office, and Mr.. Nathan A. Stead
mans nephew candidate for the vacancy, but
was defeated, and that too in a Wing County. Mr.
Steadman is and has been for years, Clerk of the
County Court of Chatham; and it would no doubt
have suited very well, far the interests of his
particular clique concerned, if his nephew had
been elected County Attorney. But the people of
Chatham looked into the matter, from first to last,
and determined otherwise. ... ~,
We offer no comments on the above facts. The
people see the "wheel within Wheel" and
judge for themselves. Messrs. Steadman and Manly
may atter themselves that they have fee simple in
Chatham County, and that they can dispose of public
Offices as they please; but in matters of this sort the
people of both parties generality have word or two
to say. We learn from the best authority, that T.
Manly will not carry even his party strength in Chat
ham County. r. e
