THE HAMMrRMANs soNa.
(rusE-BosSY BoAT.)


Written on the passage of Mr.. Gays great protectiT
tariff BILL the repeal of which has led to all the evi
which seriously affect this country. Oh! how man
Hammerman's songs have been silenced by this repeal
And, alas! how many Hammerman's arms have been p
ralysed by 1t! The exultation Of American industr
celebrated by this song has been turned into such not
Of woe by the triumph of its enemies, that 1t is som
what painful TO recall the vision Of industrial indepe
dence which animated its chorus II is in our prese
colonial subsection to the mother country, in finance
industry something like what it seems we may be de
tined to experience when we shall hear Washington
March after the reeaters and abotionss acting on Il
fatal facility Of what called good conservative pc
pie, but whose Infamous ethargy in this great crisis
the desnies of the human race clearly condemns the
to be sgmatized as the the soft crabs among the cat;
shall have dissolved the Union. | thought howeve
that it was the best contribution that could make
the late celebration in Richmond, of Mr. Cay's gre
services to his country TO sing it. and promised frien
who asked me for copies of it. to get the Wing to pu
lish it, to save the trouble of ranscrbing and you
the editor, promised to do it, and here it is.
Again, again, Is fenced around
The treasure OF the poor
Again doth laborers bread abound,
Again toll secure
Come brothers to your labor, stout,
And While the hammers ring
Wei draw the stubborn Iron out,
And all exultant sing.
