Emigrant's Song.
BY GEO. W. cROwELL.

by GEO W. CROWELLs
We've marched with hearts both firm and strc
With souls unfetteed as the sea,
To distant lands far in the West
To raise the bulwarks of the free.
We go, and right shall lead our way
With peace and love, we'll seek to reign,
And plant the seeds of empire there,
On soil uncursed by slavery's stain.
We've sought with our embattled lines,
On natures wild uncultured breast
To rear free and mighty State,
The pride and glory of the West.
Where Kansas far pararies spread,
Their rolling meads of waving green
There soon upon her gentle swels,
The chapel spire shall proudly CLEAN.
We offer to the sunny South,
A hand in friendship firmly casped,
But right shall be our battle cry,
And we will peal it to the last.
Wen form serried bristing line,
Encircling round her valleys far;
A firm, strong, a manly front,
And brave the tide of Southern war.
Well battle her hills in crimson dye,
And lay our bodies there to rest
Before to tyrsnts we shall bow,
In lands by God so richly blessed.
And coming ages shall unroll,
To generations yet to be,
The noble deeds of men of yore,
Who fought the battles of the free.

POSITIVE Sins OF COMMISSION

Bat now having. treated of venial errors,
sins against ones own self, for which self is
punished, and for which self may perhaps
be allowed to stand forgiven, if the suicide
is to be forgiven, We must turn to sins of
deeper dye, sins which admit of no pallia-
tion, sins not only against SELF but sins
against God, which no plea of ignorance
can avail, for they are not the sins of the
ignorant, the poor and the starving, but
the sins of the rich and the lofty and the
educated
This is a theme from which we would
gladly shrink both from the delicaey of
the subject aud from conscious inability to
treat it as it deserves to bring before you
the most horrid social enormity of this age,
this city, and this world, and to hold it up
to you in such light as to make you all
feel it, in its craven eowardice, its conse-
quent bodily, mental aud moral degeneracy,
its soul-destroying wickedDess. We look

Hindoo woman, who from the very love for

the Indignation of the public and the press, has just

by a common understanding, no representatives OF

cause being the manifesto in question: and Its plain
spoken rebuke TO those Powers which have denounced
the action Of the Sandman Government.
