voice Of Robert Bteekinridge calls from the
banks Of the OhioS the voice of the gallant
Logan is shouting over the pEairies Of Illi-
hois; and Morton and Chase are driving
the conspiratofs Of Indiana to their dens.
Over the hills OF the Hudson, and along
The Valley of Gennessee, you hear many.
and familiar orators calling upon the peo7
