From Ae Neso Haren Democrat. CASS AND BUTLER CLUB.
The War cry of the Democrats.
 BY Y. 4. DURrvAGE.

Once more unfuTl that standard, That has cheered our hearts of old; The glorious flag of victory Agsin--again unfold Our steadfast hills reverberate 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.
 II. The North has heard the summons And rouses in her might, Where falls upon its giant hills The earliest ray of light; And all alongAhe northern lakes, The arms of freemen shine, While far amid the mighty West, Extend tho banner'd line.
 Then arm. for Cass and Butler arm. With every omen lucky For Michigan leads on our var,
 Backed up by old Kentucky.
 Ill. The fair and gallant South responds The warm land of the sun The ancient glories fire her heart For laurels to be won; Along the Mississippi 6oon, Where dark Missouri pours, Where frowns the Alleghany ridge, The soul and strength are ours. With Cass and Butler at OUT head, And every omen lucky With Michigan we'll form our van, And charge with old Kentucky
 IV. Oh! vainly would the foemau Assume our flag and brand, His unIeleniing piumage shall be shorn With unrelenting hand. The mocking bird will cease to pour Its stimulated cry, When the fierce eagle spreads his wing In triumph on the sky,
 With Cass and Butle at our head,
 And every omen lucky With Michigan we'll form our van And charge with old Kentucky
 '. Then rally round our leader, Our flag fling 10 the breeze Twas he who swore the stars and stripes UnstaiRed should rule the seas; In every sea behold that flag Defy tho ocean blast, Remember il was Lewis Cass. That nailed it to the mass.
 His same upon them resd,
 And deem the omen lucky WNu NiCHlsdH ciose up ine van
 And charge with old Kentucky.
 VI. Low kneel the foreign foemen, And surely rue the day, That Butler led in fire and steel, The storm at Monterey; And surely as be crushed the foe, Upon that day of famt-- Their bNse allies al home shall own The terror of his man,
 With Cass and Butler for our chiefs, And every omen lucky With Michigan we'll form the van, And charge with old Kentucky.
 VII. Then Spread once more the standard To the battle and the breeze Strike! for our countiy's honor And the freedom of the seas. Strike! for the glorious destinies That wait our race of famc, Ind write the death. doom of the foe, 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.
