yoMPos'DF FOR AND SUNG ATTHE MAS MEETING


When our Fathers in council were forming the plan
To free us from Briton and make us a Nation,
They sought out a WAsHINoroN, who was the man
Designed by his country to lay the foundation.
He led on a band, with their lives in their hand
A small valiant Force that no foe could Withstand
The home of their children the Union shall be,
Mid the graves of their fathers in the land of the iret
As friends of the Union together we re met,
With the sons and the daughters to pay our devotion
The pride of our vallies we meier can forget
While Genius or Beauty receive alteration.
May the spirit of peace with the nation increase,
Until the last vestagc of disCord shall cease:
May wisdom direct the instruction Of Youth,
For the bulwark Of freedom is virtue and truth.
We re united in heart,-'tist the best bond on enrth,-
A gift from high Heaven we claim it forever;
If tyrants assail US they'll discover its worth
That friends of the Union are slave Catchers never.
From our foes far or near we have nothing TO fear,
IL principle rules us our duty is clear
The South may all threaten dissolution in vain,
For the Free Sellers yet will the UNION sustain
From our foes far or near, we have no cause of fear,-
If Webster must rule some our duty is clear,
And Fillmore may call all his troops out in vain,
For the Free Sellers still will our 60 d laws sustain.

This popular Monthly, besides the deeply en-
crossing continued tales, the " STORY without a

matter of great interest and variety The work
is evidently winning good opinions in this part
of the country very rapidly, and promises soon
to out distance all rivals. The editor, Mr.. Girls

AGITATION.

The Stale OF Missouri has been as much
cursed with agiators, as Vermont or Massa
,husetts. Seward, Wendell Philips and
heir compeers, are not more objects OF
scorn at the North than Benton and his as
sociate agitatots, OF ,OhateUer name or party,
should be in the South. A law Of Congress,
conceived in wisdom and patriotism, for the
settlement OF o question, pregnant oil strife,
and dsunon, is denounced by fsctionsts o
both extremes on the subject OF slavery, and
the peaceful and well disposed citizens
both North and South. are TO be continually
leszcd by loctous demsgogues, who ale On
willing that others should be in a state Of re.
pose while their own guilty hearts are un>
quiet and i'll at case. There is class Of
politicians between these two extremes, who
profess 10 favor the compromise measures,
Of Congress. and yet constantly agitating the
subject OF slavery, in the hope, vain hope ii
is 10 be trusted! Of winning popular applause
and obtaining office. 1t is certainly not
unsafe to say, that men protesting to rejoice
in the "peace measures" OF the last Congress,
and yet constantly endeavoring 10 alarm the
fears Of the southern people and beget in
them suspicion Of their northern brethren,
by pictures OF unheard Of horror Of which
apprehension is feigned, are enemies Of the
Union, and in deadly hostility TO- all the
measures which have been adopted for it'
preservation.
1t is to be marvelled that the people have
so much patience with these bare faced dema
gogues. Their all is staked upon the Union
their lands and focks-their altors and
their homes--lher lives and their liberties
and he who would wantonIy influence one sec
ton Of ,his Union against another, is an enc
my to his race and foe to religion and Il
God, and The people who ale so folbearinl
while all these dearest interests are assailed
would surely "if smtten on one cheek, lit.
orally, turn the other" We would no
counsel mobocracy, but do hope 10 see tn,
people express their scorn Of the course pur
sued by these reckless agilators, who woul,
not scrupie 10 involve the whole country il
ruin could they bu, make profit OF the gen
eral misfortune--and express it in sucI
terms and with such emphasis, as will driv,
these vampires back 10 the dark obscurity o
their demon abodes.
