Mr.. PRESIDENT:

by Republicans is governed.
Though not allowed the privilege
OF being called among the soters,--
Though we have to act submissive
To the laws you make to rule US;
Yet. we enter with all spirit
In the campaign you're engaged In.
We represent to you our Union
Our bleeding, suffering, pleading countryi
We shout aloud the name of Lincoln,
Shout II back, and lot It eeho -
Ger the hills, and through the valleys
When again, still louder, clearer, '
Ger the plains aud thro' the woodlands
10 the Cities, o'er the rivers,
Till Il reaches dropping Kansas,
And dies away among the Mountains.
Let il be a strong incentive
To urge you on to strife and action.
Press you on to gain this conquest.
When around your council fires
You meet TO plan course oil action,
Let The nume OF Abrah'm Lincoln
Be tho wstchword in your councils.
BE the chief In every w!g-wam.--

When the grass will hide the war.puth-
The politicians rugged war.path--
when the battle-axe--contention,
VIII forever deep be buried
In tho bosoms OF oui people.
When within your conncil houses
The Are has smoudered into ashes
And the seats will be deserted
When With your quiet wig vans
You'll smoke the pipe OF peace, and plenty
And enjoy your tho'ts in quiet.
Aye! hope on, and struggle bravey
In this great and fearful conflict
Nsy the time be not for distant,
When the breeze that floats these streameri
will watt the sweet incense OF freedom 90
To the souls Of those wronged children
Americas down trodden people,
When these stArsS stripes shall cheer the m
Thrill their souls with pleasant feelings
Whisper equal rights and freedom.
Then poor, fearful, bleeding Kan sas,
Can smile, cen while the blood 10 flowing
From her wounds SO dee? and ghastly.
Change her looks from mute appealing,
To brighter ones Of glad rejoicing.
Thea long may this streaming banner
In the breeze be waving, ioating,--
Floating DER the hills and valleys
OF O. free and peaceful country!
