iron THE REpvBLIc.l

Wave the flags and ring the bells!
Fire the guns and shout hurrah
Every gale from Europe tells
Ola newly risen star
In the East.
At Trieste;
On the sunny Drachenfels;
At the frozen Labrador;
In the heart of Ireland;
In the Vatican at RomeS'
On the fiery Guinea sand
And at home,
Ring the bells and shout hurrah,
For the luminous Eastern star.
Glorious Kossuth gentleman
Noble heart and noble soul
Take the hand of every one
Who believeth in the whole
Right of man to Liberty
Down with Kings and down with Cars
Down with pompous Emperors
But ten trillion wild huzzars
For the Plume of Hungary!
What imprisoneds mercy! oh,
While the minutes go,
Massachusetts Carolina
Run to battle for the right!
France and Albion! arouse ye
In the grandeur of your might!
Strike for Freedom! strike for Kossuth-
Kossuth ring the bells!
Fire the cannon with huzzars!
And halloo him to the wells
of the everlasting stars!
Oh, transplendent how our hearts
Pant with ardor for thy veal!
Sultan! Sultan take their parts
Let not Nicholas with sneer
And jeer,
Trample freemen under heel!
Girdle them with thy protection
Stamp, like Mahomet, on fear
Beat thy drums and blow thy trumpets
In the crowned Cossack's ear!
Gaul and Briton, they will back thee
And our own Great Western-oh,
Yes she will she must she ought to
Strike for thee burning blow,
Liberty!
SO, Old Turkey, stand as proudly
As the Wanting Russian Gar!
And, not braggarting so loudly,
Buckle on thy cimetar!
France and England sail thy navies
To the happy Dardanelles!
And, oh, proud Constantinople,
Merrily ring thy May day bells
Wave thy banners, Warsaw Venice,
Fire thy cannon, Pesth and Rome
Shout hurrah, thrice valiant Paris
Aid them, patriots at home
For the grand, immaculate cause is
Holy as the gentle pauses
In an old mans prayer;
Therefore up and do and dare,
Forward march to victory!
And the end will be portal
Opening to the immortal
Realms Of Liberty.
But while chanting 1AH Is tceHl
With the setting Of the sun,
Let US toll the muffieI bell
Sadly fire the minute gun
Mingle mourning with rejoicing,
And while making welcome room
For the priceless souls Of Europe,
Drop tear for Robert Blum

CIRCULAR.

TINE UNDERSIGNED proposes TO publish a
Il political Weekly paper in the German Ian
guage, in the City Of Washington, in support OF the
principles by which the Administration of Gene
raj Iayior came into power, and being DESTROYS to
obtain the aid and cooperation OF the Wing party,
he would respectfully state the reasons which, in
his estimation, make IL desirable and necessary
that such paper should be established at the seat
OF Government
l. The number of those who use the German lam
guage as their medium of intercourse is upwards of
Three Millions, and this number Is constantly in
creasng by immigration
2. The name of Democrats being the appellation
OF the liberal or popular party of Germany, TO
which all the immigrants before their emigration
belonged they do, of course, range themselves with
the party bearing that appelaton in this country,
as soon as they able TO exercise the elective
franchise; and the more SO, as the country teens
with Democratic papers in the German language,
whose particular object and anxiety it is to this
Interpretation TO the best advantage.
8. Although there are few Wing papers in the
country, they bear principally local character,
and, relying for their support more on local patron
age than on their subscription lists, they do gene
rally stand or fall with the success or defeat of the
Wing party III their particular section
4. The Germans, however, being an intelligent
and reading people, are accessible to sound argu-
ment, and a paper conducted with uprghtness, and
speaking the plain truth, will be able, by degrees,
TO overcome prejudices, correct errors and misap
prehensions, and by its own direct influence, as
well as by its influence upon the local Wing pa
pers, now in existence, will, it is hoped, produce
the desired effect, and gain the rejecting and think
ing, that is the influential, portion of the German
citizens, over TO the Wing ranks.
8. The undersigned is well aware that he has
lsany and serious obstacles to overcome, but rely
ing upon the power of truth and the cooperation
OF the Wing party, on account of the intrinsic
merits OF his enterprise, docs not fear TO be charged
with entertaining too sanguine hopes, if he antci
pates satisfactory result.
