From steel, toward the heart of the Government

There there is the danger, and yc, the abettors
OF treason, will find that destruction and shame
Is the doom of the man and the party that tettcrs
The strength Of our Army, or STILES its faHc.
Why chain We the hands of the North and the
As the South chains the bodies and souls of its
slaves
Why stand in the way of the Unions salvation ;
Why cover with thiStlcs these ncwly-madc
graves?
Go preach to the rebel, the fool and the coward,
False prophets and treason tongucd pracrs of
Peace
Not patriot believes thine assertions untoward /;
Till the traitor is crushed the war never can

Not a man in our army but knows that the danger

That tcalty thong them was ever stranger;
That with their destruction all tyranny ends.

Whether coward at home, or armed foe i'll the

With the strong hand of Nemesis throttle and bind

For Right is thy weapon, and Justice thy shield.
