Poem, me same believe which ne read before the

Nh James, but II rumor be true, Nh } tmes has de-
cldTcd MS intentions 10 become u citizen OF the
United states. II so he has taken a Solmn oath
against the Rule OF Britannia and the Queen of Eng
land. and If he gratifed by hearing compliment
to a Queen or Government against whom he had
sworn then IN heart he IS a perIurer. The spirit OF
the person calling for the Air showed that he not
true Republican, and that had he lived IN the days
OF the Revolution he would have been Tory. II Is
disgusting 10 see man with country OF his own 10
be proud of finding the highest qualification of his
manhood in ridiculous attempts TO tickle The orlly
vanity OF some upstart tourist from England, who,
even while he enjoys the compliment deSpiSeS that

"Low-born baseneSs watts perfume to pride
Our friend Allen Dodworth, who is a stout Repub-
hcan told the audience that such things the Rule
OF Britanla. did not come within the scope OF his
muslc-Tather than back out however. after reterd-
ted calls from one person, he played God save the
Queen. to which have no objections, provided her
salvation be not delayed MAY some power kindly
pull down her wicked rule quickly. and # mercy for
such as Cypress and siarye Gods people. for their
folhes can be found, may she soon find herself IN
better world than Kings and Queens often think OF,
or ever pray for. The thing was an insult 10 the
Poet and 20 the memory OF the brave men whose
deeds II celebrated, and unless Mr. James IN swear
ing against the Queen of England took only lip
oath without the heart that IS unless he perJured
himself II must have been alien 10 his feelings and
abhouent 10 his sense OF proprety. The world
however. was never without some tOadleS AMI funk

our fathers.
