WHAT! SEVER THE UNION!
By JAMES p. JETT.

What! sevet the Union! the ties
Deep-b bound by the patriots Blood!
The great master work Of the good ahd the wise,
Ger whose cradle of rock burst the light Of the
Skies,
And broke the dark tempest and flood
Be paIsied the false tongue and blasted th, arm

What! sever the CDion and mar
What 1t cost such exertiOns to bnd
Dissolve the bright galaxy. glitter'ng afar,
In harmony pure, like the beams from star,
And Illustrate the hopes of mankind!-f
Accursd be the spirit with evil so fraught,
As to harbor one moment, the murd-rous thought!
What. sever the Union which sprung
From the grcans o. the spurned and oppressed,
AS abroad to the breeze their bold banners were
flung,
And anthems of new-wakened liberty rung
Through the wiids of the lar, trackiess west,
And bosoms long bruised by the tyrannous chain,
ln the broadlight Of Heav breathed freely again!
What sever the Union! and why?
Is il needfu and right il should be!
Is the thunder fierce in the storm beaten sky
That our cioud-soaring Eagle must come down TO
die
At the root Of lair Lberty's tree?
Is proud ship oil state SO b-set by the wave
That no beacon appears, and no pilot to saver
For shame. let each fond menry start!
Hur the dark thought forever away!
Let each freeman stand orti. aud do noby his part.
Aud mingle his powers OF action and heart
With the efforts and genius cf Clay
And swear that no discord tnIs Union shall sever
United, unconquered and onward, forever.
