The Goodhue volunteer., 1862-06-25


You complain Of our being so long
in putting down the revolution. You
landed in the Crimea in September
1854, and did not enter Sebastopol till
September, 1855. We have been
some time but you forget that we
have pcen fghelng our own people
against Americans.
Had we been pitted against English
men or Frenchmen, as we should be in
case either dare to interfere, we would
have arranged the matter 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 food!
Yield not! our soil shall rather be
one waste of fame, one sea Of blood !
Fear not your steel, nor fear your gold
Nor English force, nor English fraud,
trust not your rase-as false as cold
WHOSE VERY PRAYERS ARE TIES TO GoD
INTERFERENCE WILL BE FOLLOWED Ry
Domestic war may bring foreign
discord, but foreign war would bring
domestic happines. Solomon acas
ac1se eche,e he detected the .fuzse MotA>
er by ordering the child to be cut IN
ttco ! There was music in the war songs
Of our revolutionary sircs
States Of the West! my own fair land!
our zoe has come, the hour is nigh,
Ills bale fires rise on every hand,
Rise as ono man to do or die
From mountain, vale, and prairie wide,
FROM forest VHsf and fold and rlo
And crowded city, pour thy tide.
On, fervid 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 a erca,
drama! Think Of trotting Macbeth
out 0 for the first time just before the
fall OF the curtain. The price of truth
is SANDER, the price Of faIsehood is
praise nevertheless truth is Gods
law, while falsehood is the devils coun.
sll. Give me sneers and let me be
honest, or give me cheers and make
me traitor. England applauds seces
sion and Kisses unity and patriotism
not because she loves the South more,
but the north less. My words may
annoy you, but my points l will force
you to admit,
ENGLAND JEALOUS OF AMERICA.
How absurd for the learned skeaker
to say that America is always insulting 9
England. If it is true, why not resne1
it? 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 50 sensitive at you,
most uumanly, ungcnerous, unnatural
conduct. America hate you. You
are misinformed. It is the elder who
hates the younger.
The father in England is jealous o.
the son who growing up to overshadon
HIM no more prominent trait crops
out of English character. The Firs,
George hated the Second, the Second
disliked the Third, and the Thirc
George was always at war with the
Fourth; Pitt and the King were al
ways plotting against Fox and tht
Regent. Royalty gives the fashion,
mobiles copy and hate their first-berr
sons the landed gentry follow and
dislike theirs, and the middle classes
under the barbarous old feudal law:
OF primogeniture, initiate all the. vices
OF the ar'stecracy without copying an,
OF their virtues. Hence the envy and
jealousy of the father towards the sor
who will supersede him in the entail
This is the evil of primogeniture sucf
IS England. The aristocracy rule
The middle classes assent, and tn.
people arc called a mob.
This diversion I have made to prov,
that the son bears the father no i'll vii
while the contrary is proverbial. In
dividuals are too much like States no,
to apply the simils to nations. Eng
land, the father, is jealous of Americ.
the flrst-born- But the child bears n<
envy against the parent. No! Ameri
ca neither fesrs you nor hates you
Her annoyance Al your strange treat
| ment arises from affection, not revenge
Besides, victers bear no malice srains
the vanquished. It is the punished
who brood revenge, not the punisher
america has always been the victor
] England was defeated on both occas
ions. Therefore it is England VIII,
oroods over the disgrace, not America
country that was never conquered
