fairs means war to the knife-war to the
lannon's month.
Oh! though perennial be the strife,
For honor dear, for hearthstone fire;
Give blow for blow, take life for lite!
Strike till the last arm foe expire!
LENGTH OF THE REBELLION.

that we have been fighting our own people
Americans against Americans. Had we
been pitted against Englishmen or French
men, as we should be 10 case either dare to
interfere, we would have arranged the mat
tea in half the time. Invade US, proud
kingdom, if you dare, and we will
Make every house, and rock, and tree.
And hill, our fOrts and fen and flood!
Yield not our soil shall rather be
One waste of flame, one sea Of blood!
Fear not your steel, nor fear your gold
Nor English force, nor English fraud,
Trust not your race-as false as cold
Whose very prayers are ties to God!
INTERFERENCE WILL BE FOLLOWED BY WAR.
Domestic war may bring foreign dscord,
but foreign war would bring domestic haps
piness. Solomon aDGs aoise qohe'a lie detected
the false mother by ordering the child to be
cut in taDo ! There was music in the war
songs of our revolutionary sires:
States of the West! my own fair land
Our foe has come. the hour is nigh,
His bale fires rise on every hand,
Rise as one man to do or die!
From mountain, vale, and prairie wide,
From forest vast, and field, and glen,
And crowded city, pour thy tide,
Oh, feryid band of patriot men!
Up, old and young! the weak be strong
Rise for the right, hurl back the wrong,
And foot to foot, and brand to brand,
Strike for our own dear native land
Interference who ever heard of an author
Introducing a stately figure in the last scene
OF the last act of great drama ! Think ct
trotting Macbeth out fer the first time just
before the fall of the curtain. The price OF
truth is SANDER, the price of !asehood is
praise: nevertheless is Gods law, while
falSeho0d is the devils counsel. Give me
sneers and let me be honest, or give NE
cheers and make me traitor. England apa
plauds secession and misses uuity and pa
triotism, not because she loves the South
more, but the North less. My words may
annoy you, but mY points | will force you
to admit.
ENGLAND JEALOUS OF AMERICA.
How absurd for the learned speaker to
say that America is always insulting Eng
land. II it is true, why not resent ii? When
the gauntlet is thrown down why don't you
take it up? No, Mr.. Chairman, the fault
OF our people is they think too much of
England, else they would not feel so seus-
tive at your most unmanly, ungererous, IN
natural conduct. America hate you. You
are misinformed. 1t is the elder who hates
the younger.
The father in England is jealous of the
son who is growing up to overshad0w bin !;
no more prominent trait crops out OF Eug-
lish character. The First George hated the
Second, the Second disliked the Third, and
the Third George was always at war with
the Fourth; Pitt and the King were always
plotting against Fox and the Regent. Roy.
atty gives the fashion-nobles copy and hate
their firstborn sons; the landed gentry follow
and dislike theirs, and the middle classes,
under the barbarous old feudal laws Of pri.
mogeniture, initiate all the vices of the aris-
tocracy without copying any of their virtues.
Hence the envy and jealousy of the father
towards the son. who will supersede him in
the entail. This is the evil of primogeniture;
such is England. The aristocracy rule.
The middle classes assent. and the people
are called mob.
This diversion | have made to prove that
the son bears the father no i'll will, while
the contrary is proverbial. Individuals are
too much like States not 10 apply the smile
to nations. England, the father, is jealous
of America, the frst-born. But the child
bears no envy against the parent. No
America neither fears you nor hates you.
Her annoyance at your strange treatment
arises from affection, not revenge. Besides,
victors bear no malice against the vans
pushed. 1t is the punished who brood re.
vepge, not the punisher. America has al,
ways been the victor. England was defeat.
ed on both occasions. Therefore it is Eng
land who broods over the disgrace, not
America, country that was never con
quered.
ABsURDITY OF FOREIGN INTERF ERENCE.
Intervention in American affairs With
whom? The Moth or South? Not the
South, for Yancey says it is impossible.
Besides, it would be declaring wal. against
the United States. Not the North, for
America is not so low as to choose an arbi.
traitor in the hour of victory. Would
Havelock have allowed Prussia to have in
tervened as be was going into Lucknow ?
Would France have allowed America to in
terVene in favor of Austria before Solieri2o?
Would England have allowed intervention
in the Crimea as she was walking through
the Redan and Malakoff into Sebastopol?
Not mite of it. Let Napoleon do so wild
thing as to dare to interfere in our affairs,
and you may purchase his crown for shil.
ling. Let England desecrate our soil by
invasion or intervention, and even the crown
