nois, When it was supposed that his soul
had foated off to Tartarns OH the waves
of his own fat, d brother member of Con.
gress kindly wrote his epitaph:.
Beneath this stone good Owen Lofejoy

Little in everything except in size;
What though his burly body fills this
hole, -,
Still through hell's key hole etept his
little SOUL ~
And when good Owen returned to this

ted BY the following complimentary ad,
ditienal verse: s& et8afs89

Farewell A6dfessY
That, s'Ifsuch a..strhggle Is ohco begun;
and the citizen Of one sections OF the coun-
try are arrayed in arms against those Of
the other doubtful conflict, let the battle
results as it may, there will be In end Of
the Union, and with it an end of the hope
of freedom. The victory of the injured
would not secure to them the blessings
of liberty; it would avenge their wrongs;
but they would themselves share in the
common ruin. The Constitution cannot
be maintained hor the Union preserved;
in opposition to public feeling; by the
mere exertions ofthe coerciSe powers con-
fined to the Government" q
