Cease talking, thou Chartist, and quietly sit
down,
And acknowledge the blessings that flow from |
the crown
'Tis strange sort Of argument, still IL is true,
That the many crush liberty worse than the few.
Cast thy gaze o'or the channel, to ueacherous
France
Dead drunk with dcecit-sunk in infamy's
trance;
Or cross to tho land Of the far setting sun,
And read what Republics for mankind have
done
On this side the salt lake, pray, what can you
sec
But a faction of hypocritcs cursing the free
On the other, a Commonwealth floating in sin,
A monarchical band where high rank is the skin
The mind Of the slave may be ample and broad
Embracing the earth and upreaching 10 Gods
But woe to the man il his color is black
Ills fair spreading genius is not worth plack
A Republican Msn.seler! think OH the knavc
Who would make his poor brother a chattcl and
slave;
Reducing proud man, with his angelic brow,
To the level or rank of tho horse or the cow.
Go, match that iniquity-match it who can,
This masterpiece crime of the civilized man!
| This statelicst fraud on which angels dwell,
The cruclist scrfdom on this side of hell
blush when think that the Shareholders skin,
| In color and texture, TO mine is akin;
OF all the slaves living, the worst, l declare,
Arc they who steal man-immortalitys heir
| Missouri is long, and Ohio is deep;
| Lake Huron is broad in its oce6n-lke sweep;
But American guilt, who shall measure It's span,
Who fathom the depth of this swindle OH man :
A A. =.
cline
They witness the darkest and uglcst crimei
Both Luna and Sol would immediately tell
In the beautiful West, where the Slave-br
crs dwell
Consult the rude breczos that rove through the
air,
Where the mangiest spoilers have settled their
| lair;
With laundering tones they would instantly cry,
In the valos Of Columbia the reprobstes Lie
Oppression is strongest-injustice more bold,
In that land where Gods image is purchased
and sold
Like the cotton that grows in the blood
fields
Or the sweets which the tcur-watsr'd sugar cane
yields.
How long, ye inpOsters-how long-oh, how
Win your laws teach equality broadly and
strong
While your actions confutc all your statutes so
grand,
And prove ye all Pirates atlOat on the LGndI
A Market for Men Heaven and earth, what a
place,
Humanity shsmblcs to barter the race;
Where brothers are set up, like cattle, for sale,
And body and spirit disposed of by bale
Blaspheiuy is wed to this fiendish device,
And rapne and murder stick fast to the prices
Mortality merchandise = Commerce in Man
Breaks through every law in creations fair plan
Come now kinsman Jonathan! tell me, pray,
How you prove the poor Negro inferior clayi
| Can he cope with thyscli in oppression or fraud,
Or pass thee in trick-or low cunning, my lad
Republican Rogues You may boast, day and
night,
For he is not your equal in trampling right:
AS a cheat among cheats shall the Yankee re-
| main,
Till the last link is broke Of the last bondman's
chain
Your own Mississippi rolls proudly along,
But nothing compared to your jubilee song
Your fathers and freedom, both worthy Of
| praise,
Resound to the skies in your hypocrito laysl
Bright Freedom !-fe, shame thus to kindle
your strains,
To one far away from Columbia's plains;
| Tho bay of the bloodhound vibrates TO and fro,
Where man has to hurry from man as q foe
Great mother Of heroes come Scotia the brave
Let thy sympathies flow to the down trodden
| slave:
Lift thy voice and rebuke those who limit the
span
OF Liberty's sunlight, the birthright OF mani
Let the robbers commissioned by villanous
laws,
Hear thy stern interdict, and the traitors may
pause:
There is terror and power in thy mountain COM
mgnd,
To stop the fierce Slayeholders' criminal hand
