Annexation 0ratOry.

| We take the following sample of
annexation oratory from the Waverly
Magazine:
/ Fellow citizens and horses! Hurra!
there's got to be war! I'm in for
Whipping Great Britain right of, with
Iout stdpping for compliments We
must hustle the British lion heels
lover head out Of the everlasting bor-
tders of this here western continent
lHunsl for the annexation Of Canada!
i've must have the critter, neck and
Iheels, if we hay e to wade in blood
Iup to our knees to pull it from the
Fhorns of John Bull! We must do it!
repeat again, we must do it, if We
have 10 drive the pick-axe Of VEN
geance clear to the handle into John
lny's added brainsl Where's the
Ipossum whose little soul don't echo
them sentiments? He ain t nowhere,
and newer was. Can't you and /,
and every one Of US, rouse up the
wolf Of human natur till he'll paw
the whole of old England clear down
below low water mark? Yes, sir-ee!.
Every citizen Of this tall land, from
the owl on the hemlock stub to the
Preside mt in his great armed chair,
is in favor Of this all-thundering and
/ llberty-spreading measured Just let
these glorious ideas pop into the
United States Uranium fairly, and see
if an earthquake Shout, bursting
ffom twenty-six millions of India
rubber lungs, don't shake the whole
earth crack the zenith and
knock the very poles oyer! ! tell
you there is nothing this side the
millennium like our own everlasting
national institutions! nor you can't
scare up q flock of civilized beings,
on the face OF the whole universal
terra frma, who know so well how to
defend and spread them. Where's
The Yankee wno won't fight for his
country within three quarters Of an
Inch OF his life, if it tries his@soul,
yes, and his upper leather too?"
WHAT'S England? Why, it amt
nothing at all scarcely Uncle Sam
will take it yet fdr pocket handker-
chief to blow his nose upon when he
ia es a cold We are bound to
"wakq-uR snakes, and no mistake.
/ ct US once get hold of the job in
right earnest, with all of Uncle Sam s
boys, an 4 if we don't dig a hole as
deep as eternity with the spade of
Yankee spunk, and scream the grease
spots Of. the faceI of the universal
W rld, and pitch them end over end
clear to the bottom of it, then l am
no "two-legged crocodile!' When
this is done, you will see the great
roaring eagle of liberty Tapping his
broad wings up and down the sides of
the world, like big rooster growing
on the top of barrelll Why you
are all ready and primed for the on
set -all you want is q live coal or
two of fire dropped on your devoted
heads to touch you OIL Methinks
the lashes Of fire in your eyes to-day
forebo ode bloqdand tn under; only mind
you don't tIksh in the pan! If you
do your boMslen duty in this crisis,
70 u Il spit the tobacco juice Of deter
mination in John Bulls eyes till he
has the blind staggers,'' when you
can take him by the tail and sling him
beyond all human recoIlectionl!-
Rouse ye- rouse We. Let the shout
penetrate every nook and Granny of
| North America-fTom the lip top of
the Arctic,regions clear tothe Straits
Of Gibraltar, Canada, and the United
States fore yer. Begot in a war
whoop-born in blood-cradleR in
thunder, and brought up in glory.
