trac.cd and weakened the party in the

ton, or present locality, and now,
politically speaking, let US hope
mo more The thirsty entrance OF this soil
Shall daub her lips with her own children
blood
No more shall uenching war channel her
fields,
Nor bruiss her flowrets with The armed hoops
or hostile PAGES those opposed eyes,
Which, like the metcors ola troubled heaven,
All OF one nature, Of one substance bred,
Did lately meet In the intestine shock,
And furious close Of civil butchery,
Shall now In mutual we'll bcseetniug ranks
March all one way and be no more opposed,
Agains, acquaintance, kindred and allies"
