Respectfully Dedicated to Senator ZONES,

Marked tor his grace; surrounded by his peers, !
With lofty eloquence his form he rears
Each eyeis frpd upon his noble face,
Each heart swes high while list'niBs 70 MS ease'
The multitude Is hanging on saeh tone,
The Ist'ners feel those wrongs Of bis thsn OWL
And have felt, although cold sonn 10y, 1un an
The Nurth was wrong, the South was fisnt In fuii.
in northern lands thew speak of siavery's chains,
And. p,yins. tell the love the black man claims.
'They saw thai God has made II free and equal,
But trust c e, can tell a Northern sequel
They go 70 church and play the Puritan,
And with very long faces, lie, and cheat each man
And they would grudge one single crust TO stay
The fauished negro, On his fainting way,
Excep. ID ~ indeed, fugitive slave, 49, ..s,-
And then the cry is raised the Boston brave
Are up in arms, and like the pirate neht .. -
For this black boat upon the sea OF lie; 80
Like ieebooters fierce, their cutiasses nad cieit -
All who opposed them in their petty theft;
But when hs,e off red them for ransom small.
They find his bondage no account al all.
The Nor,l, t,uot devoid Of noble hearts -
I bur refer TO those OF fanatic parts. .14.s..J
I've seen nobuayis stamp on Northern brow, -.
And generous souls, and many, too, l uows
But who can tell Of one among that crew,
of which Phillips, Parker, and Sumner are few
Who caa tell of one sinsle noble man,
Whose deeds are mark'd by fame's exaltng hand
There is one, in whose heart there is tire pi,h
of honest warmth tits good Gerret Smith
But he ne'er has mingled with the ignoble throng
Who light like rabble, in drunken b.awl,
Nor care they if Che hapless orphan can
In vain upon IT'S murdered fathers nanei
They.haye at least goodly bloody fame. $500 Il.
Their organ, Sumner, in his Senate chair,
Has said aloud-proclaimed II far and near
That he his oath would not one moment keep;
But to the lips, in perjured tres son leap,
Should shance afford him scope to show his Rate
OF Southern Rights and every southern State,
The aRenexzde;' il already made, and only waits
To be the " Traitor'-if smile the internal fates.
Shame on the North for her most shameful war
Upon her sister of the soft mid star.
The South the land that gave their father birth,
Who fought and bled, now moulders meath her earth
This fact should make the nofiherner revere -
The southern land as one 10 him most dear. '-'.-
That Yo s-,'i h-aafh- and 10 unhalleca neah
A stranger, I, in your fair lovely land,
Ny leaz1, NY blood, my life il could command.
All blessed be him as he's beloved by me,
Who pobly fought, and set his country free.
And shall II now BY parties be disgraced-
Whose might should keep il free from every trace
From every shadow that might on it rest, -.
To mar the brightness of its starry crest,
Men ofthe North ana South go hand in hand,
Let no two codes hold guidance DER your land;
have but one governments; to yourselves be true,
You stand on earth as there are standing few;-
Your ships are fearless, Swimming DER the sea;
Your free born sons tread proudly DER the lee; 90
Then cease your warfare, and hike brothers tried
"ascnfuf and brave, maintain your country's pride
