Did up an attitude 40 brown,

V0ot Oi0 Apollo, nA0 no tt0n IL,
Would have knocked under In Q mint
While, at this eloquent appeal,
The audience, rising on its hesl,
In shouts that broke Potomac's ioe,
And rent the Keeling edifice,
Inspired the orator anew
Ii rs great Grafton to pursue
The Silence which just nov we saw,
Listening the hurricane with awe,
Was very sensible, but still
Its trance was broken by the ahrill,
bharpsounds OF musquetry, whica lat0,
In terror bueted a State
While ruthless Bopaparte locked on
Delighted ut the nations grosn
All ne the sympathy 1 met
Ia England car Ie'er forget
Bat expectations hish demand,
Permitted sin on stilts Co stand,
May not b. realized This day,
And therefore --4ently let ns pray
Another desperate attitude,
AID then Lis theme he thus pursued
'ris but prayer What less, what more
Could be expected q the poor
Take that away, an we a-a left
Hopeless indeed OF lie bereit
The poverty 0 nau doth bring
BLESSINGS upon its tat5ered wing;
IL soothes the mind, and ques the vain
Endeavnrs OF the aspiring brain
And Darrows down the lofty speech
Into the humble word beseech
Oh It's blessing TO be poor
Ones taxes are SO much the lower
All friends know well where stsnd
Nor honors, threats, nor battle brand
Could make this child forget what's due
From H-y and him to you
Here l, in silence, must await
The potent Judgment OF your State;
In silence (masing only now
And then n little tpeecn or SOY
must await your great decree,
Which kills me Of, or makes me free
Whate'er 1t be, still must ray
Feasted and toasted on my WAY
That II your glorious land, you fed
He very well with hopes and bread;
While hliibusters loudly spoke
oe armies and the battles shook
Tho driven back, stil must bless
Your people tor my happiness
As old Ciaeas eaGly went
9TH o. never man more eloquont)
Back to his Prince, with thwartsd Schemes
80, tho my hopes dissolve in dreams,
will return across the sea
Hopeless, but grateful sLin to be-
only want your words Of power
There is no need at ali FOR war
! came to claim your sympathy
In the great battle to be free;
battle which Is not yet fought
An embryo, patriotic thought
For money, arms, aud men I'm here,
Not to make war with, but to scare,
With bold appearance, the Gear;
And Tighten despots, till they yield
Up empires on bloodess field.
in days of old the banner red
Ruled with resistless sway, tits said;
The raging powers Of steel clad arm
Toek arsenals aud forts by storm
In modern days, when reason rules,
And war is only sought by fools,
The moral power of Boosting tongues,
The cannon OF q great mans lungs,
The fiery eye and fierce mustache
Can break great empires ell to smash
lou are so great, that il you say
That H---y shall have fair play,
Your word would better be than powder,
And sound than cannon louder
There is no telling how much lies,
Of power in fierce appearances
4 staggering gait and bearded chin
And "swashing outside oft will win!
PyrrhUs made many an army run
BY having all his teeth ia one
And Cocles, with his no,e and eyes,
Aud singular deformities,
Achieved great Roman victories
And Richards rude unfeshoned form
Was more than swords in battles Stormi
Did not the Persian army fly,
In terror, from besieged Delhi,
BY artificial thunder scared,
Aud lightnings which the priests prepared!
Whom Brennus led his Gaush horde
To throw the drecians overheard,
Did not the sylvan piper Pan,
Fill them with terror, till they ran
With nothing but his pipes to blow,
Ana huge detlrmities to SHOW!
All there is history in these
Small Items, glorious prophecies,
And in all hist ories you see,
Logic and issues must agree,
My welcome here to night will ring,
Like knell OF death to Gear and King;
And nations will rise up to see
The star of liberty in me,
In me- though small amongst the great
Big statesmen Of a bigger State,
! am the man, without doubt,
Who has TO turn this world shout.
And rip up Wrongs which now exist.
With these tive weapons, tongue and fist;
That IL, provided QUA endorse,
And come IN with aragoon and horse.
There be who think my mission hero
A failure; they deaf, ] fear
The shouts which fall upon mine ear
Bring different music Cold to me
Mey calculating statesmen be:
And wis2 ON. heads, with ice of years.
May tremble in their lettering fears
And plead, with defamation rare,
And warn the people to beware
! care not for their feeble speech
Who needs, when antiqusries pfeach7
The peoples answering voice shall ring,
And drown this garrulous gossipping.
The boarded thoughts Of studious years
Must fall before the peoples cheers;
The mighty people who can think
Correctly, always, by in.stinck,
And roll up, in single minute,
thought which has more wisdom In it
Than grave discour5es writ by 6ages,
And covering many printed pagee.
The Orator who stands 30 high.
Commanding Senates with his eye,
ls mot az wise by far, as they,
Who ply { he hammer all the day,
And 60 forth, in the night to see
Ard recognize prodigy
As they have often dons--in me-
One single intellectual heaye
or coDgrt gated crowds doth leave
But little for the wire nans art;
The people--governed by the heart
And not the head are always right,
And claIne rous for the far CT fight
The glorious people. did not they
Eustain Napoleon yesterday
Aud make him king without fray?
Ihe glorious people. don't they go
To see great Lola at the show,
And clip her whether rhe will OF no!
When Roman liberty grew proud
And Catos voice disturbed the crowd,
DID not the glorious people bring
Great Gear in TO make him king?
Seeing that his almighty stride
Could Roman Senates over. ride
In Athens when the people played
The monarch, and the empire svayed,
Did not the Areopagus.
The peoples Cougrefs make fuss
And fix Themselves TO obtracise,
when any man grew very wise,
And was it not the folks OF Greece
That kiipd old ootard Sooratesl
Aud is not tins enough to show
that people more than Statesmen know?
And DO you not grow wild with eee
In looking or my sword and me,
Inspiring thoughts Of liberty
Alb who In al ihi. crowd can doubt
That will work my wishes out
In this great lend With such ss ye
To shout fox glorious H...ry!
see before me mapywise
And noble men II different 'ize:
From I've foot three to six loot four,
Some with less belly, some with more;
There must b. at this very fact,
Ten enhry Presidents at least
Zach with his Secrt taries pick'd
