JANUARY, lst, 1862,

re devil incarnate well might your IIIiO' iOi"0,
,rt moor printers devil could scarce scare an owl!
Won, oarters I'm after, with the eagle well branded
Is I'm fond Of the sight ofthe SirGy fowl
"a, IastI addressed you our glorious Country
jo- heaved to and fro on the pillows Of war
,s;o, brolhcrand brother TO meet in the fray,
nd tbe heart ofmankind the sight to abhor.
irim-visaged war our land o'erruns,
stern unrclcnting, calling her sons
The FLAG of their fathers to cherish, protect
AcaUnot unheedcd-on they would not neglect
occ,h became rampant, hurried to arms
By attacking Fort Sumter and causing alarms
rotbcJrqrs Charcstonans there viewing the scene
OfBeauregard's prowess and Beauregards spleen
,tbonrb there successful their triumph was brief!
The sons of Columbia to their Country relief
2r.bed forward at once without hesitation,
Bearing proudly aoft the flag of the nation.
We have unfurled that standard
That chcered our hearts OF DID,
The glorious flag Of victory
Wenow again unfold
Our sucadfast hills reverberate
The rolling ofthc drum,
Andsprnging to the battle call
The sons oftriumph come.
The North has heard the summons,
And rouscs in its might
Where falls upon its highest hills
The earliest rays oflight
And aIl along the Northern lakes
The arms of he emen shine,
While far amid the mighty west
Extends the hammered line.
O, vanly would the traitors
Assume our name and brand.
His borrowed plumage will be shorn
By McClellans gallant band.
The mocking bird will cease to pour
It's stimulated cry
When the fierce eagle spreads its wing
In triumph on the sky.
The fields Of fair Virgnas soil
Run red with human gore;
The "On to Richmond" tells the tale
A tale | hope to hear no more
For while secesh disturbs ourland;
A cause it had for its creation,
The cause is this It's Abolition
The curse ofthis once happy nation.
Base Abolition thou filthy thing!
More deadly than the -Adder's sting
Tongue nor pen thy crimes can tell
Such records only kept in HI!
Thou didst suppose thy work was done
When "Unclc Ase" reached Washington
To strike the chains from slavery.
Give thanks Rejoice with loud acclaim
The negro worship's put to shame
Their Chefeect now spurns their treachery
Our rpartys flag, the flag of old Democracy,
Which kissed the dust, and lowered its folds,
When Lincolns raIiant "Wide-Awakes' '@appearc
Upon the scene of action, again has reared
Aloft, our country's honor to sustain.
Though there defeated, it well was known
That truth crushed to earth will rise again
The eternal years of God are hers
While error, wounded, writhes in pain,
And dies amid her worshipers.'
The "ipse diXit' of the Keystone State
Has calmly plainly, branded as a lie
The charge that Abolition, or base corruption
Within her borders shall longer have home
To this result the pine clad hills, and
Hemlock wales of our own cherished
Cearfeld, their little mite contributed
The heightened face, and darkened brow
Of faithful Republicans, seekers after
Honors and emoluments ofoffice-
Plainly indicated that the sight OF ioool
Or smell of "contraband" our hardy
Yeomanry could not appreciate
Such l hope, may ever be the ease,
