THE NATIONAL CRISIS.


And great losses Zoo the trade.
Long and louder grows tho thunder
OF this battles dread array,
Darkness fast Is gathering round us,
And there Is 90 hope % day
Hearts grow sick and iips grow palcr
As these saddcniug udngs roll,
From The heat OF The equator,
To the very northern pole.
Oh Sc daring South Car0liuians.
Who havr held tho world in awe;
~ yfuf slavery aud your cotton,
Aud YOUR disregard Of law.
Is 10 really any wonder
That you have awakened 'cars
fuf your courage has been nourished,
by the negro blood aud tears.
Vengeance in thc heavens above thee
VIII not longer keep It's sleeping,
Thou hast sown the seed Of folly,
And ere long must do the reaping.
All The wrongs which you conjecture,
All your grief and an your fears,
Won't affect the God 1f nations
As the humble slave in tears.
They have worn the chains and shackles
On their limbs, that you made fast,
And their cry 20 heaven asceuied,
And relief will come al last
Oyewickod sons of Bclial,
Fighting in an unjust cause;
Setting heaven az defiance,
And rcbelliug human laws.
o. fhatyou could see your folly,
% that you might see you fate,
Ere YOU strive 10 rear "a kiugdom.
On the ruins of your state.
fo! A7 sue as thefe heaven,
ANY kingom cannot stand.
Reared lu sIaveys eumhling ruins,
Ia this mighty western land
Then desisf tbe course you'ye t,keo
And submit 10 Wholesome laws.
Then u1 doubf our God win bearus
And be- v.I defend our Cause.
