A SONG FOR TIE TIMES.
Air." Bruce's Address
Methinks hear a mighty moan,
A paii like Freedoms dying groan--
4 glorious nation overthrowu-
Trampled in the dust
A land whose ibcrty's her pride,
Yet her sons free speech dcuicd'
Ne'er was Freedom So hclicd,
Or 1yrant so unjust
The Runians now on Kansas plains
Arc Trusting frccmen into chains,
Our infant cities are in flames.
Gwen crush you 80 Is the cry
Shall the Tyrdm o'er us ride
Shall no law for US provide
Shall onch N2r'hpH t0n gios br t,d'
Rather let us die!
Vast for this our Fathers fought
Did they bleed and die for nouIht'
Shall we yield what's dearly bought
Our dear Liberty.
So by insults VIC have borne,
by our right, all from US torn,
BY our Sowh,ru bondage worn,
We call you to be free.
Vow the crisis is at hand,
Let Freedom rally through the land,
Closely cling and FIRMLY STAND
Siand for LibHy.
Boldly strike for freedom now,
At its shrines we humbly bow,
And united make our vow.
That VIC will be free.

This ia rather serious charge, and, as humble
advocate of the Republican party, we call upon
tn. Commercial AdrertSr either to produce proof
Of IT, to retract it, or to stand convicted OF deb-
