composition:
Go on, go on! your prisOn.den
No terrors has for me
tod is my shield, why fear then
A moments tyranny?
Vain man may bind his fellow ctdy,
Incarcerate the wise,
Dungeons shut out the cheerful day,
And darkness shroud my eyes;
Go on, 20 on free fancy smiles,
And scars on golden wings,
The spirit spurns your petty wiles,
The muse, unfettered, sings,
Bring on, bring here your threats and chains,
Imagination bind!
Bring CRATES, bring all your iron pains,
Cage in the steadfast mind
Your power is faint! your threats are naught
What empire have We now?
This poor clay body not one thought
Shall to your thraldom bow
sure is that day not distant far
When Truth shall claim her son,
Offended Justice wake the war,
And speak in thunder tone.
How did ye dare, on Mercy's plea,
Abuse her sacred name,
TIL violated Liberty
Bring ia her sternest claim!
Now Justice reign, bereft of sight
For mortal woes and fears.
In Freedoms cause uphold the Right!

MISCELLANEOUS.
nROSP ECTUS OF THE WEEKLY
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN.

l.
The undersigned commenced, in the month of
December last, the publication, IN this city, of
a weekly newspaper, called the National Repub.
hcdn.
1t is printed on large sheet, twenty y.seven
by forty.two inches, and is furnished at the low
prices stated below.
1t will contain all the original matter of the
daily National Republican, with the exception
Of local news not interesting to country sub
scribers.
1t will give full reports of the proceedings of
Congress, and of the other departments of the
National Government.
1t will contain all the news of the day, foreign
and domestic, markets, 30, &C., as well as an
original correspondence from all parts of the
country. The miscellaneous department will
the effort will be made to establish the charac-
ter of the National Republican as Family
Newspaper.
Washington being now the central point OF
the current military operations, great attention
will be paid to furnishing the readers Of the
National Republican with full, and especially
with accurate, accounts of the progress of the
war for the Union.
In politics, the paper will be Republican, sus.
tanning the Administration Of Mr.. Lincoln, but
disclaiming, however, any pretension to be the
organ of the President.
The is no other Republican paper in the Dis.
trict of Columbia, or in the vicinity Of 1t, and
it is believed that recent events have opened TO
effort. The time has come, when the actual
administration of the Government upon Repub
lican principles will explode the misrepresen-
| tations which have made those principles 50
distasteful to the South.
But 1t is not only here, and In this vicinity
that the projectors of the National Republican
| hope to make 1t useful To the whole country
they offer II journal which will discuss national
politics from a national standpoint, and which
will never be swerved from patriotic duty by
any oyerpuWering pressure of local interest.
