Yes. give me the land
Where the ruins are spread,
And the living tread light
On the hearts of the dead;
Yes, give me the land
That is blessed by the dust,
And bright with the deeds
OF The down-trodden just.
Yes, give me the land
Where the battles red blast
Has flashed on the future
The form Of the past;
Yes, give me the land
That hath legends and lays,
That tell Of the memories
Oflong vanished days.
Yes, give me the land
That hath story and song,
To tell of the strife
Ofthe right with the wrong;
Yes, give me the land
With 4 grave in each spot
And to names in the graves
That shall not be forgot.
Yes, give me the land
OF the wreck and the tomb;
There's grandeur in graves
There's glory in gloom;
For out of the gloom
Future brightness is born,
As, after the night,
Looms the sunrise OF morn;
And the graves Of the dead,
With the grass overgrown,
NAV vet form the footstoOl
0fliberty's throne;
And each single wreck
In the way-path of.Might,
Shall yet be q rock
In the temple Of Right!

the Richmond Enquirer to the effect " that
proclamation was written by President Lin
coin when the secession of the Southern States
occurred, and was approved by his Cabinet,
announcing their undoubted right to do SO,
asserting that the Constitution Of the United
States prohibited force being used to compel
them to return, and asserting to their peacea-
ble withdrawal. This proclamation was sent
to the printer for announcement, but On inter-
position was made by several Senators and
Representatives and, after conference, 1t was
recalled and suppressed. The names of the
witnesses to this fsct-all of them Of undoubt-
