ready has the Genius half raised her waDd-which
when raised, is to inspire every southern heart to
dissolve Union which cripples their prosperity
and brings with it disgrace and insult-her eyes
are turned upon The two master spirits, yet to be
heard in the Senate. Anxiously does she wait for
the rising of some star to show the way TO the re-
demption of our rights. Ifthey fail-ifthe terrific
rial Committees failthen must we forget the bright
Goddess who gave us the eventual triumph of '76,
or at once destroy an alliance with men, who hurl
upon us an oppression to which the tea-tax, stamp
duty, &C., bears no comparison. Men at the North
have sacrificed themselves for us, and has SOUTH

descendants of those who hailed with triumph the
Banner of the "stars and stripes" and of those
whose eyes kindleS with enthusiasm, when they
heard ofthe bright deeds of those better days.
