KNOW YE THE LAND?
A NATIONAL SONG.


Know we the land where the Forest and Prairie
Spread broadest away by tho Cataraet's fall,
Where the haryests of earth the most penteousy vary
And the children that reap them happiest of all
Where the long rolling rivers go nightly trendng,
With wealth on their pillows through many cline
Where the lakes. mid their woodlands like are
extending
And the mountains rise lone in the centre sublime
Know We tho land where royal opprcssor
Babe the Burghcrs and Husbandmen bow to hi
| will
| dresser,
| And the heart of humanity beats to ii still
Where the lakes, mounts and plains keep inspiring
or solemn,
Their tales of that strife, and its monuments be
The statue, the tablet, the hall, and the column
But, best and most lasting, the souls of the free
Know ye the land where fair Freedoms dominion
Stands prouder than any the earth ever knew,
When Greece flashed like fire through the East the
pinion
OF Romcs dreaded war-bird with Victory few
Where high as the haughtiest she lifts up her ban
ner,
by crifne uDulsnOnOreu, uHsnhmcu Dy uefehf
While the gales two oceans blow brightly 10 fan her
And wait the full wealth of the world to her feet
Where she bends great Protectrcss greet the pale
strangers,
The pilgrims Of many realm, who prefer
To the mercies Of yrants her and thor dangers
To their birthplace the exile that waits them to her
Whence, far as tho breezes and pillows, her warning
Is heard all shores, by their slaves and their
kings;
will come, will come like the march of the Morn
ing
And the healing Of nations 20 forth my wings
Oh, that land Yes we know tits luminous story,
It's wealth of all Nature-America's land
We would die for that land of love snd glory
We live to sustain it-hcart spirit, and hand
And thus brothors friends we salute it-0h, never
That proud Constellation made loss by star
AI.hail 1t perpetual still Frightening forever
The fond hopo Of millions, in peace or in war
Till the hard Rock Of Plymouth be worn by the ocean,
And Charlostowns tall 0belisk dust on tho shore,
And dear Old Dominion thy noblest devotion
And the gift Of thy Chiehancy thought Of no more

From the Chesapeakes wave to the Cape of Foul

MR. LODER'S REPLY.

New YORK, October 3, 1851.
GENTLEMEN: In reply to your letter of this
date, and in answer to several personal applica-
tons from yourselves and others in behalf Of
the destitute Hungarians referred to, we have
concluded to give them free passage over our
road and steamboats, as far rs Detroit which is
as far as the line under our immediate control
extends
From the popularity of this case, and the
comparatively destitute condition of these I'M
fortunate strangers it has been determined, in
compliance with the urgent request of yourselves
and many other gentlemen who have taken an
interest in their behalf to help them thus far
on their journey toward their intended new
home in the West, hoping that they may find
other Companies ON the line of their journey
who will treat them with equal liberality
Very respectfully and truly yours.
