THE WAR CRY OF THE DEMOCRATS


BYF.A. DURIvAGE.
Once more unfuh that standard,
That has cheered our hearts of old;
The glorious flag of victory
Again--again unfold !
Our steadfast hills reverberate
The rolling of the drum;
And springing to the battIe-caIl
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 Ivy old Kentucky.
The fair and gallant South responds
The warm land Of the sun
Her ancient gIories fire her heart
For laures 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,
nd chorUo with oil KootucLy
Oh vainly would the foeman
Assume our flag and brand,
His borrowed plumage shall be shorn
With unrelentng hand.
The mockingbird will cease to pour
It's stimulated 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 round our leader
Our flag fling to the breeze
Twas he who swore the stars and stripes
Unstained should rule the seas.
If every sen 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,
And charge with old Kentucky.
Low hneel the foreign foemen,
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 our van,
And charge with old Kentucky.
Then spread once more the standard,
TO the battle and the breeze
Strike for our countrys honor
And the freedom of the seas.
Strike for the glorious destinies
i hat wait our race of fame,
And 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.

terms as he may deem reasonable and just 10
be sanctioned and approved by the ffes'uen'
of the United States, and upon sucn auJuS'r
ment and settlement to issue ceItinSa'eS VI
stock for the amount, to Messrs. Dawson,
Schott and Whitney, bearing per cent IN
tsrost navable semi .annually, and redeemabIe
~ srcb lime as the Secretary may determine,
not exceeding five years.
"01 The amount of this claim against Texas was
ORIGINALLY about $500, 900, for which ten per
cent. bonds OF the republic were given, and
the faith and revenues of the republic pledg-
ed for the Payment of both interest and prin-
cipal. This amount has now been increased,
by the unpaid interest, to over million; and
not only the vessels, &c., furnished for the
Texan navy, but the revenues pledged for the
payment of the debt, have been transferred,
by the act of annexation, to the United States.
But the bill, nevertheless, provides turther'
that the claim shall be adjusted in the manner
prescribed, with the consent and concurrence
of the State of Texas, that the claimants snail
transfer the debt so agreed to be PAID TO the
United States. and that Texas shall agree to
satisfy and discharge the same by transfer
of lands of the State sufficient therefor.
Mr.. Reverdy Johnson addressed the Senate
in exclamation of the claim, and in favor Of
the massage OF the bill, as an act of justice TO-
ward the claimants, which the United State:
were morally and legally bound to perform.
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Johnson's speech
the bill was passed over, and about dozer
other private bills were considered and pass
ed, when the Senate adjourned
| In the House, MIR Vinton, from the com
mittee on Ways and Means, reported Senat
amendments to the bills making appropriation
TO the Post-office Department, and for the In
dian Department, for the year ending BOT
June, 1919, and the House agreed to some
disagreed 10 some, and amended one.
A motion to take up the private caIenda
was disagreed TO.
On motion of Mr.. Vinton, the House, /
committee of the whole, then resumed tn
consideration of the general appropriation bill
and
Mr.. Joseph R. Tngersoll addressed the CON
mittee, chiefly in reply TO the argument OF M
billiard, in favor of changing certain Charge
to Ministers Resident, and Ministers ResideI
10 Ministers Plenipotentiary, to which Mr.
expressed his opposition. In reference to Gel
Taylor, Mr.. ]. was in favor of his election
because he desired for once an admnlstratc
who would administer the government vito
regard to party distinctions.
Here followed long discussion, into whic
the slavery question entered largely, but
which, the true point aimed at by the varlol
speakers was the claims and chances of Il
respective candidates for the Presidency
The discussion was conducted principally
Thompson (whig) OF Kentucky, Horace MAJ
of Mass, Successor to J. @. Adams,) and M
Bacock (dem } of Virginia.
The House adjourned without taking al
4 action on the bill.
