THE AMERICAN FLAG.
Originally published, and as re printed III
the New York Tribune Of Feb. 20, 1864.
All hail the fdunting lie!
The stars grow pale and dim;
The stripes are bloody scars
A lie the vaunting hymn!
II shields n pirates deck.
1t binds man in chains!
And round the capt1ve's neck,
Its folds are bloody stains!
Tear down the Haunting lie;
Halt~mast the starry flag;
Insult no sunny sky
With hates polluted rag!
Destroy it, ye who can;
Deep Sink IL III lAe WttVUSl
1t bears fellow man,
To groan with fellow slaves!
Awake the burning scorn--
The vengeance long and deep,
That till better morn
Shall neither tire nor sleep.
Swear once again the vow,
BY all we hope or dream,
That what we suHer now
fTha futurp shall redeem.
EnflIrI the boasted liei
Till Freedom lives again,
The stature grand and purpose high
Among untrammeled men!
Roll up the starry sheen,
Conceal it's bloody stains,
For in it's folds are seen
The stamp of rustling chains!
Swear, Freedom-all as one
To spurn the haunting Lie,
Till Peace, and Truth, and Love,
Shall fill the brooding sky;
Then, floating in the air,
O'er hill, and dale, and sea,
Twill stand forever fair,
The emblem Of the Free!
WILLING TO SURRENDER FORT sUMPTER.
When Sumter was menaced by the seces-
sionists, and the whole country was on the
qou rire to prevent its capture, the leading
presses of the Republican party proposed
its surrender, and for over one month the
Administration entertained the proposition.
Pending its discussion the New y ork Times
of March / l, 1861, said OF Lincoln and his
Cabinet:
1.-The question of reinforcing Fort Sum
ter has been under consideration in the
Cabinet, and it is understood that the ques
ton, whether or no, it is not desirable to
withdraw all the troops except two or three
men, rather that incur the bloodshed which
will probably occur, before troops and sup
plies are put into it, is now to be decided.
The question has been under discussion In
high military circles tor some days. ten.
Scott advises that reinforcements canoot
now be put in without an enormous Sacrlnce
of life. He is understood to say, that we
have nethey military or nev force at hand
sufficient to supply the Fort against the
threatened opposition, which it would re-
auire t,Centy thousand men to overcome.
Besides, if it should initiate ciril aodr, in ad'
dition to unitmg the South, and ocerWhelm-
ma the Union sentiment there IN the waves
of passion, it would require too had1ed
and ffy thousand Government sotttterS to
carry on the struggle, and hundred NIT
lions OF money to begin with. " ~
The next day March II, 1861, John W.
Forney wrote to his PhtladeLptsta ireSs In
favor of abandoning Sumter, as follows:
"The best results will flow from the
evacuation o., Fort Sumter. Ii will in
vigorate thef Union men Of the Border
States. ,-. ,- ........,..--.
The Cincinnati Gazette of the same day
said:
1T is not to be doubted that the evaeua-
ton OF Fort Sumter, while greatly diminish
ing, if not entirely removing, the dangers
OF civil war, would accomplish more than
any policy that could be adopted to weaken
the strength Of the Secessionists in the
Border States, and to strengthen the Union
feeling Throughout the entire South. How
ever much our feelings on the subject might
lead us to desire different kind of treat
ment for the South Carolina rebels, we are
not prepared to dispute the wisdom of the
Administration in measure looking to the
continuance Of peace and an ultimate peace.
