From the Boston Daily Times.
The Voice Of Democracy.

There's voice on every mountain-a voice
on every plain!
Which thrills through many freeman s
heart from Mexico to Maine.
"Tis hear where hoars Niagara hurls down
its world OF waves:
And it echoes like prophecy through old
Kentucky's caves;
On the prairies of Ohio its mighty tones are
heard,
And by it on Missouri's banks, the hearts
of men are stirred.
Where the dark Magnolas of the South ,theiI
mighty shadows fling.
And where the Northern pine trees wave,
the cry is "Picrce and KingP'
That ascends where Hudson rollo with arrowy
swiftnessby;
And old New Hampshre's Granite Hills
with eager haste reply;
The green clad heights OF Vermont are vocal
with the roar;
"Tis heard above the Oceans song on Cali,
fornia's shore;
Rhode Island hears the melody, and joins
the loud hurrah!
That is caught up by the sounding shores o.
Massachusetts Bay!
The Bluffs Of Mississippi with joyous thun'
dcrs ring;
And the stately Old Dominion swells the cry
of Pierce and King!
49,. ..
The sturdy sons of Texas the Nations choru;
swell,
On the plains Of Indiana it sings for Scott &
knell,
The Caroinas whisper it through all theil
leaty groves! ..... ...
And'tis borne upon the blast whe' 'er the Wes
tern hunter roves.
IT'S greeted with the token of universal joys
AS It's heard along the length and breadtl
Of Illinois.
Old men with glory shout it, and their chill
dren's children sing.
The key note ofthe Democrats-the watch
nien--Pierce and King. -
For military glory-Fuss and FcatheIs, and
the like,
The men of Pennsylvania blow will never
strike;
The sons of Penn, will go for piece, and ioir
the general voice:
And Maryland shall justify the democratic
choice.
Hark, beautiful Connecticut is Ginning witt
the song,
And Tennessee, fright joyously the echoes
loud prolong,
Iowa and Wisconsin, their vocal tribute
bring,
To swell the general harmony-the cry o
Pierce and King.
Alabama too and Georgia, and howrry Michi
gan
Have caught the cry from Baltimore, ant
DIN it to man;
The nation, like mighty harp, breathe'
but a single tone,
And to it every pqble heart responds in uni
sonl ..a.
From where Mount Washington's proud peal
stands sharp against the sky,
To where upon Floridian shores the Gul
stream hurries by,
From ocean to ocean s shore, shall all thei
tribute tring
To the altar of Democracy-and sh fo
Pierce and King.
We've had too much of guns and sword, tin
sci and such stuff,
Of military Presiden surely hat
enQpgh!
To be the Nations chosen Chief needs no
the battle scars;
For Pierce, too, hatll'her victories, that sery,
us more than wars,
Who loves the sword, may to the swqrd fal
victim some fine day,
And we unto our ruin may have "Glorv's'
bill to pay.
Then away with Fuss and Feathers, and le
the country ring
With the peaceiulcry ofmillions-the shou
Of Pisrce and King.
Yes, the voice Of the Democracy is sound
ing through the land,
For our glorious Constitution, who would
not join heart and hand?
We've raised our hag-our voices raised
and they shall fly and sound
Till Scott and Seward and their clan are n,
where to be found!
Hark! hark! how swells the mighty song :
| Its thunders daunt our foes!
Nor shall it cease till to the chiefin triumph
goes,
Till Columbia's soaring eagle, shall sprea
its joyous wing, .
And soar above country that is ruled b
Pierce and King.
Washington, August /, 1861
