our industry and craft are seen on all
your plantations. DO you dare to come

With banners streaming high in Heaven
and trumpets giving "no uncertain
sound" the Patriots of the Border States
press to the vanguard. Baltimore awakes
at last from her lethargy and comes with
the yestments of freedom, sprinkled with
the blood of her corrupt aristocracy
Western Virginia is stirred with holy
enthusiasm; Kentucky comes with Ros-
sEAU and CRITTENDEN in the van, lau-
relied with immortal honors from their
triumphant charge at Shiloh, where the
traitor BREoKINRIDGE fed dismayed and
discomftted from their presence; Mis-

heauty all equal TO the proud destiny
which awaits her; and Tennessee sends
forth an immortal CAMPBELL, mild as a
woman when at peace, yet terrible as a
lion when aroused-SToKEs, who uever

HAMILTON, Of ADAMS, Of HANCOCK, Of
JEFFERSON, Of MADISON, of WEBSTER, Of
CLAY, and Of JACKSON:

posterity, whose number no mortal may
estimate, and whose interests God has
entrusted to our charge:
