The Daily Dispatch: August 28, 1861., [Electronic resource], Sad affair. (search)
e weak, the same bold and faithful lioness that took the adopted sons of America under her powerful ægis against the buzzard of Yankee rapacity, fanaticism, nativism, know-Nothingism, and pietism. O, ye Germans! ye Germans of the North! where is your grateful heart? Arise, then, Germans of the South! Hasten to the threatened queen of borders! Grasp the strong German spear, and prove indeed that the son of Tent is worthy of his heroic sire! Arise, German brethren, for Virginia, where Washington rests and Jefferson is buried! But it is not my intention to excite you unreasonably, my German brethren, for the true man shall perform his duty with cool determination. I will, however, urge you that we have a sacred cause to sustain. Every one is concerned in the same — old and young, great and little, rich and poor. The unmarried, who can possibly be absent, shall themselves enter the ranks; whoever is too old or too young, or has a family to support, shall lend a helping hand.
