their country On the one side might be seen the szulng
insoenoe and fury Of the fresh triumph Of unPrncped

deeply impressed with the impending fate Of the republic

President Ii fell like electric shock The enemies OF
the republic felt its terrible blow Its friends reused
up with new hopes and increased courage. II came
from the right quarter. 1t from the far East
from the State whose granite mountans overlook the

Representatives As the crownng Of their treason,
they adjourned without voting supplies to the army The
