A rock en- which they had to split.
AT Baltimore they tried to mend,

Resolved to run, with might and main,
Those leaders, Breckenridge and Lane.
The Rump run Douglas, but soon found
His coattails most too near the ground
Some ancient gentlemen thought best
To have Ticket with the rest;
And so they briefly named-Du tell
The Constitution and John Bells
Republicans, with heart and voice
United, made noble choice
Old Abe, the Honest and the Best,
The ra-ai Splitter of the West.
And now begins the eager strife
Conventions every day are rife;
Republicans are Wide Awake"

TIE People, rising in their might,
Are all inpatient for the fight.

The Democrats with terror quail
To see such doings with rail
So every ether post they yield,
And make New York the Battle field.

Disunion threats by lightning hy
A Panic surely will succeed
Unless New Workers all take heed,
And Fuse-all parties-tO preeeHt

But look! November's Sun is bright
The Hosts are mastering for the Fight

Disaster deals its yearly blow,
And Death strikes down both high and low.
o, Lawrence terrible that Fall
Which spread in every house pail
How dear the penalty we pay
Where Sham and Carelessness bear sway.
The Sea, at times so calm and fair,
Has swallowed up its usual share.
The strong Hungarian proved too frail
To weather out old Oceans gale.
With living freight it went below,
Where Sea nymphs sport and corals grow
Good Lady Elg in many a tear
Milwaukee sheds around thy bier
The Luna, fonndering in the surge;
The Steamer Connaught's fiery scourge;-
All serve, in burning words, 10 tell
Why countless hearts with sorrow swell.
Good Peter Farley sweetiy sleeps,
And every Household sadly keeps
Its vigils round his ashes dear,
Recounting all his words of cheer;
While myriad childish voices raise
Sincere Te Deums to his praise.

Who mastered volumes by the score
The map of wondrous power the host:
The worker, ever at his post:
The thinker, in whose giant mind
Thought ever could welcome and:
The man who never shlnned to speak
'Gainst Christian, Statesman, jew or Greek
The man whose creed was not of Fear:
Whose words seemed ever most sincere
Parker-in distant Florence sleeps;
italian soil his ashes keeps:
All done with earthly cares and creeds,
And blest, according TO his deeds.

What means this scolding way down South
What word in everybody's mouth
Not now s'the uCedtler" is the theme
About which people talk and dream;
Rut "Ho,os the Union 2" is the word
Which through the land is daily heard.
The chivairous Palmetto State
Is not at all disposed TO wait
Till Lincoln chances to commit
Some soyert acts'-with which to split
More rails to pen her strong-and hence
She's making motions toward de fence -
Her fiery headed sons see need
Of speedy effort to secede,
And hope, with other States, 10 make
A move which shall the Union shake,
Though Sambo says, with turned up nose,
" Dis nigger for dis Union goes
So not much progress haye they made,
With all the help Of blue COCK dde
Methinks can discern the cast
Of all these shakings of the fist;
These constant rantings at the mouth -
Forer has departed from the South
No more in Congress can she WELD
The masters whip, and win the field.
The North has risen in its might
The South is vanquished in the fight
And Slavery sees her rising tomb
Stone lette red DIED FOR WANT OF Room
The Observation-Disclosures nan
Will do Just everything he can
To help us in this trying hour,
And al! he says he lacks is poVer
South Carolina, tits agreed,
Has cause sufficient to secede,
Has not the po,Der to make her mind.
Ghost of Old Hickory come down,
And scare Secession out of town
Old Abe do take the Chair to-day,

XII.

As home turn will relate
Two things about this verd- ant State.
Judge Redfeld-ere Conventions meet
Writes ont his Slavery views complete;
And shows he likes the Southern sky
At least to Charleston has an eye.
But Charleston gives the Judge the slip;
So, fearing lest some Yankee trip
May lay him out, with legal grace
He Just resigns his honored place,
And saves the Sfate-what thoughtful Judge |!
The task of telling him TO bulge.
Our Treasury's in failing way
A-6ctes, a Legislators say;
Or, rather, indicates Default
About the region of the vault,
And calls for diet more severe
To keep its circulation clear.

Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1861-01-03

In Congress all the usual moves
Are made, as my rehearsal proves.
The Journal of the House is brief
No Speaker yetp on every leaf;
But after Democrats have spent
Two months, their boiling wrath to vent,
Republicans the Chair secure,
And make Noyember's Trinmph sure.
Meanwhile the Senate sets about
Some plan to find the traitors ont;
If possible to hunt them down
And hang them up beside John Brown.
And so tor witnesses they go
From Canada to Mexico
| Some incidents are rather rare
| One Hyatt does MT like to sueort
His conscientious whims prevail,
| And lead him captive, off to jail.
| Next, after Gerrit Smith they turn,
| But Mason is much grieved to learn
That Smiths insane so noU, at best,
| A rabid Abolitionist
So said Committee spent its strength,
To make two full Reports at length:
One showing things in statu quo:
The other-well, about so So
The House proposes TO find out
What one j. B. has been about:
With others who have held the purse.
And been commissioned to disbnrse.
Investigation quickly shows,
AS Sake says, $ How the money goes
The President is much distressed
And even ventures to protest
But Hickman hurls missile back,
Which floors the whole protesting pack.
The House approves the righteous blow,
AS Yeas and Nays directly show.
But Edmondson, of logic short,
Atten pts a chivalric retort,
AS, finding Hickman in lane,
He quick rebuts him-with shy cane
Lovejoy, with burning words, excites
The Champions of Southern Rights
And Pryor to the rescue flies,
With vengeance darting from his eyes.
But Levejoy, with advancing tread,
HurIs tenfold vengeance on his head.
Meanwhile one Potter interferes,
And something reaches Pryors ears,
Which, by the Code of Honor tried,
A speedy Duel must decide.
The Challenge is accepted quick,
And potter-'twas a Yankee trick
Selects, as weapons for the fight
I wo Bowie knives, all keen and bright
When Pryor, filed with proud disdaiu,
Makes answer in the following strain
" Inhuman Potter thas to choose
. What no true gentleman would use;
Because with Bowies to engage
" Would SAVIOR of Bdrburous Age.
Besides, have prior claim
Upon my bowels and my name,
" And am not now inclined to yield
My body TO the Potter's Field"
And so the Session passed away,
And Members, fearing lest their pay
Might not be coming, passed, by force
The Appropriation Bills, of course;
And every body gladly learned
That Congress had at last adjourned.

OBsrRU cT1oNs TO NAvIGAT1oN.-
Fears are entertained that the new dam
at Nc.loosa will prove 4 serious obsta-
Gle to the successful running Of lumber.
Some OF our best and most experienced
pilots have met with terrible smash-ups
and extensive loss Of lumber, yet y few
have been successful in passing the
slide without damage to property, al
though life is risked in the attempt
We sincerely hope that something may
be done TO render the passage Of RATS
safe, without detriment to the interests
Of our lumbermen or the enterprising
capitalists who have invested their
wealth at Nekoosa.
