The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1861-08-09
ELOQUENT SPEECH.

The Hon. Daniel :. Dickinson, of N.
Y. in recent speech gave vent to the
feelings that animates the spirit of the
Democracy. We do not know Demo-
crat that does not fully endorse, in SEN
tment and in act, the burning words OF
this old and veteran democrat:
s'Shall we then surrender to turbu-
lence and faction, and rebellion, and give
up the Union with all its elements Of
good. all its holy memories, all its hal
lowed associations. all its blood bought
history?
No! lat the eagle change his plume,
The leaf its hue, the flov er its bloom"
"But do no give up the Union. Pre-
serve it 10 ''flourish in immortal youth,
until it is dissolved amid the "wreck Of
matter and the crash Of worlds" Let
the patriot and statesman stand by it to
the last, whether assai!ed by foreign or
domestic foes, and if he perishes in the
conflict, let him fall like Rienzi, the last
Of the Tribunes, upon the same stand
where he has prea chsd liberty andequali-
ty to his countrymen
"Preserve it in the name of the faith
ers of the Revolution-pr preserve it for its
great elements of good-preserve it for
the sacred name of liborty-preserve it
for the faithful and devoted lovers of the
Constitution in the rebellious states
these who are prosecuted for its support,
; no are dying in its defense. Rebellion
can lay down its arms to Government
Government cannot surrender to rebel
lion.
"Give up the Tn ION! 'this fair and
fertile plain to batten on that moor
Divide the Atlantic, so that its tide shal
beat in sections, that some spurious Nrp
tune may rule An ocean OF his owf !
Draw line upon the suns disc, thss i
may cast its beams upon earth in divis'
IONS! Let the moon, like Botton, in tht
play, show but half its face! Separate
the constellation Of the Pleiades and sun
der the bands OF Orion! but retain THE
UNION. .
"Give up the Union, with It's gloricl
flag, its stars and stri pes. full of prouc
and pleasing, and honorable recolfectiens
for the spurious invention with no ante
ceden's but the history of a violated con
stituton and of lawless ambition? No
let it stand by the embie m of our fatE
ers,
"Flag of the free hearts, hope and home;
i By angel hands to valo- given,
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome
And all thy hues were born in Heaven"
"Ask the Christian to exchange tb
cross with the cherished memories of th
Savior's love, for the crescent of tn
imposter. or to address bis prayers t
the Juggernaut or Josh instead of th
living and true Godl but .ustain the en-
blem Of your fathers loved and cherish
