The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1860-01-11

CARRIERS ADDRESS,
To the Friends and Patrons Of
THE GADIZ SENTINEL. :.
HARK what waing voice is this we hear?
So sorrowful and sad does it greet the ear
1t comes in the breath Of the throbbng winds sround
Streng,hning their dresr and melancholy soundi
We hear it echoed from every hill and dale,
Every sounding isle the dim woods among
All nature gives voice to the sorrowing wall
From every mountain side It's backward hung.
1t rolls across our plains and thro' our woods,
As far as civilization rolls its foods;
Adown the distant western slopes Ills heard,
Whereer the voice Of man, has the silence stirred;
'Tis heard in the gurglirg streams that roam,
Thro' our snow clad valleys to their ocean home;
And tits heard in the beating oceans roar
As it lashes the rock ribbed strand,
| IT'S echoed again from sea-girt shore,
And heard afar in every distant land.
All that wailng sound is heard both here and there,
! 1t rings DER all the earth is echoed everywhere
Ages past have heard--ages to come will hear
And weep For tits the 1sua Of departing year
! How sad it strikes the ear that wailing tone,
"Sons and Daughters of Adam, another yoar is gone
1t comes. piercing deep into our inmost heart
Making it to tremble with fear and dread,
To think, we may be of the grave part,
Ere another year will TO the past be we'd
! All tits solemn moment, as thus we glide
! Adown Times restless, unceasing tide;--
! Although many, now floating on lifes stream,
Sail onward and bye, in their happy dream.
Neer stopping to gaze at the land mark past
Meier thinking that to them it may be the last
To such we must say, so joyous and free,
May your barks ne'er greet stormier sea.
But to all who have this day heard the sigh,
And marked the departure of the receding yeaE
To these, with thoughts akin now draw nigh,
And minge together the silent flowing tear.
But now vision of the past steals Ger me,
Endearing by gone mcm'res appear
Blsst thoughts pass in rapid review before me,
Making bright the advent Of the coming year.
/ see many hours of joyous ease and cheer
Rise up before me in their bright array,
{ Fond friends loved in days agone appear,
To bless with their ideaty this happy day,
IT'S true many phantom hours fit bye
Hours that might have better employed
But the memory Of others more happy draw nigh,
And passing, fill up the saddening void.
I o. would that this vision could ever remain
Bright as we view it through the lens of to-day,
a But now, as we speak, comes the present again,
And its realities chase the bright fances away.
!, THE PREsENF---OUR COUNTRY.
1 And now brief review let US take
A Ofour country, as it exists to day.
As view its prosperity, what proud scenes awake
. To gladden. our hearts, with their gorgeous array.
. See as People how we are surrounded,
q With every good gift that God can bestow;
a Sr,eace and art, are with us deep founded
q l., eelSior : is our motto forever below
+ lAh we are gifted with blessings rare.
. And Of all nations should most happy be,
l. To know that we live in a land so fair,
e A Land Of Liberty! valiant and free
n A land that's free from expressions control
a No Kingly thraldom DO ever tee;
q No Seryile homage here chains the SOUL
~ To none but our God are we bound to kneel.
o A land marching onward to Honor and Fame,
n Marching to Glory with gigantic stride,
o F'eedon, from Error is the goal we claim,
!, O. Columbia thou art our joy and pride
N And now we hear the murmurng blast,
IS tumultuouS from Europe aar,
!; Her plains are with fearful cloud o'ercast,
" And echo to the distant breath of Var.
y All the heart doth sicken at the bodlng sound,
sr So periodically doth it greet our ear.
m Let us hope that there may always be found,
h. shield from the curse to car land SO dear.
Come let us o.day in humble alteration,
q Encirce the altar of Liberty round,
n, Let us kneel and pray that Wars deSecratlon,
- - May never encrcle this peace hallowed ground.
ne But ever in eastern lands hold its sway,
I'd Ever cling to its birth place beyond the sea,
ID Nav its cursng presence nc'er wander this way,
ID To blight Upas like fair Lberty's Tree.
But bark even now a sound of diScord,
Of Breaks like kne on the listening ear
w Can it be? can it be? 0, God Our Lord
IN That Civl Var is existing near?
ot 1t comes in the breath of the Southern air.
# Filling the hearts of all with dread,
a. But bark IT'S not War Ills the wall of despair
a. From five wretched men to the scaftod led.
tv That wall borne on the signing breeze along
n. Comes from Sister City's crowded street, g..
he And now we hear the rush Of an angry throng,
ofI And the deep muffled tread of martial feet.
,is I'Tis hard to see men to death thus led
M Men east IN the image of our God on high,
But these deserve the fate impending DER their heat
For they are vHlians Of the deepest dye,
Ave Onward to the death with them
he They are muraerers, and do but atone
Of Their deeds; and were they Ten Thousand men,
M They should die the death yes every one
os And oh We Fanatics who now raise the cry
Hc Of ''Martyr and Saint" o'er their ignoble bed,
Who are struggling with zeal to emblazon high,
The Martyrdon (O Oof the men thus dead?
SO o ! we would ask you to-day in the name,
or our Fathers. who bequeathed this fair land
s7 Htue ne heatsP have ye sou3 DO you eelmo shaei
Do gou auish that the Union should M longer stand
Ga 0, down with you Down to the Earth
Down Dastards and grovcl in dust
is You're living disgrace to the land Of your birth,
And the Devil would 'ail ye to trast
90 And now 0! We leaders in the land ..l
. Ye who have the hearts to feel
Cease your wrangling? Unite brave band
o2 Look quick and we'll to your country's veal.

Respected, un'ettered bold and free.
