For the Patriot.
SOUTHERN TRAITORS.

SOUIHERN TRAITORS.
o. would that the muses. for a moment inspire
My pen with a spark Of poetical fire.
That might chastise the wholetrai;orous crew
In that schorching manner so noby their due
Bot though they deny me, the edifying flame.
The force Of the story tell it is the same:
A i'wsimple truths, thou IN plain language told
are worth IN IRE than ialsehood IN garments Of
gold
There dis in the breasts Of an beings on earth
A lingering love for the place Of their birth.
Unchanging-etenal-u every cline
II braves the rude tempest o. vice and Of time.
But ho'd-dld say il was common 10 I'll!
That every being lent ear to its CALI
There are men il seemeth with bosoms so cold
They never have felt this warm gush ofthe soul
The South has her traitors( own it with shame
Who aid base fanatics in lighting the fame
That will deluge with blood the airand Of
their birth
Or tear from her all she holds dear on earth.
But who are the trailorsl Let history proclaim
In all future time each Judas's name.
First reDd the dark army kind reader behold
Tom Benton the fearless Tom Benton the bold
Who didn't meet D BUTLER in honorable fght
But shrank from the coatest IN coward alright.
Vile charalau, cease your nauseating prate
'Gaiust G Calhoun & bis Chiyarc Slate;
Look back on the past-ih memory review
The varied pathway once trodden By YOU.
Go back to Chapel HILL where unto the world
Your Financial talents, were eary unurlcd
Make faces at KEARNEY in Justices Halls
Orwilhl little Stephens hrht more Protocols;
Betray the party that raised you from shame,
And placed you on the loiiiest apex Of fame.
Speak one thing today,,he reyetse on tomorrow
And at black filse-hood, experience no horror;
Eergrasping atlhe phantom of popular applaus
As man when drowning will graple at straw,
"The sepire is departed front Israeli now,
Your doom has beet seaIcd-to II you must bow
The next on the list is old Hall Of the west,
Whose public career has been none ofthe bes
The father Of a system TO plumber the Masses
And bloat the full purse ola wGalthier classes.
Who barganed his vote for the hope Of rewar
To ]. Quincy Adams & his Northern hord;
And once had penchanl-the efuel DID mani
In "ungodIy" battle "to slay Mexican"
In vain may he watch the political sky;
Some faint ray ofhope, in the distance to spy
tie never will reach in h3 winding career
The goal his being, the Presidents Chair.
When Luciier fell from mansions Oh high
He was not alone in bis aposlicy
4 host DISMAL Devils accompanied lis fight
From Heav'ns hirregions to Il us gloomy night
So adams g. Buckner now follow old Ha H,
And glory in sharing the arch traitors fall.
Has thou too, Virginia, warmed in thy breast
A viper to sting the fair hand that caresscd!
To "lhe Ioveliest land on he face 9th earth,
Is the vilesl Of traitors indebted for birh!--
and of shall thy sons in the depth oflh'r shame
Heap loud burning curses on Pondleion's name.
Now little Stephens claims place in my song
The last & the least of the ignoble lhrong;
Ills puerile nature some mercy doth claim.
Against such as be, ! scom 10 dCCaim.
Ny task is now done I've pass d DER the name
Ofany DESTROYS of Judas-hke fame,
! beg that he'll pardon this slip on my part
Twas error Of the head g. not oflhe heart.
