sacred to liberty Come one, come all !!
Come in the uniform of blue ! Come as
you came to the South on the great mis-
sion to relieve it from the despotism of
usurping traitors. Coms'' as you came
when you caused the hearts Of depressed

hands and brave deeds Let the Union
lists Of the North and South come togeth-
er and renew the pledge to sustain hber-
ty, order and law"
