RALLYINa SONG.
Tune The Marsellaise Hymn"
Behold the furious storm is rolling,
Which border fcnds, confederates, raise.
The dogs Of war, let loose, are bowling,
And 10 our infant cities blaze.
And shall we calmly view the ruin
While lawless force with giant stride
Spreads desolaton far and wide,
In guiltess blood his hands imbruingf
Arise arise, ye brave!
And let our war cry be,
Free speech free press, free SOIL free men,
Fremont and victory
Oh, Liberty can he resign thee
Who once has felt thy generous lames
Can threats subdue or bolts confne thee,
Or whips thy noble spirit tame2
No! by tho heavens bright bending DER US,
We've called our captain to the van-
Behold the hour-behold the man!
Oh, wise and valiant, 60 before ust
Then let the shout again
Ring out from sea To sea-
Free speech, free press free soil, free men,
Fremont and victory!
Hurrah, hurrah, from hill and vaNey
Hurrah from prairie wide and freel
ArouI our glorious chicftain rally,
For Kansas, and for liberty
Let him who first her wds exploring,
Her virgin beauty gave to fame,
Now save her from the curse and shame
Which slavery oer her soil Is pouring.
Our standard bearer then
The brave path finder bel
Free speech free press, free SOIL free men,
Fremont and victory!
