l wrongs; they chose secession, and then fighting! But view the case reversed. Suppose the North Denied the rights, essential to existence; Suppose her people styled “barbarians,” and so forth; Their “chattels” stolen, with insane persistence? Suppose the Constitution of so little worth, That plain provisions met with mad resistance? Suppose the South a “higher law” thus claiming, To wound the North, and all her sons defaming? How long would Yankees bear such imposition? O shades of Otis, Adams, Warren! Ye Have left but craven sons, if such condition Could e'er be theirs, and borne all patiently! No! in their self-defence they'd take position, Stand on their rights! and swear fidelity To their own section; and defend it ever, Even if the strife the Union should dissever! For have not Yankees struggled for their right? Ask Concord, Lexington, Ticonderoga! Ask Bunker Hill, and many a lesser fight! Ask old Burgoyne, him “bagged” at Saratoga! Or ask the Indian files at nig

protest; did perplex us With California, and some other slices Of Mexico, against our sage advices.” Thus we have briefly told “what was the matter;” Thus the “aggression” of the South we see! But more than this, they even sought to scatter Themselves o'er these new lands, as well as we; And equal rights they claimed, while we did flatter Ourselves we were superiors to be! And this was all; no right they e'er denied us, Except, that when we threatened, they defied us. They did what born Americans must do, When wronged; they swore to seek redress! They to the Union had been firm and true-- Made for their safety and their happiness; They clung to rights by Constitution due To free white men, who only them possess. But they did err in choice of modes for righting All wrongs; they chose secession, and then fighting! But view the case reversed. Suppose the North Denied the rights, essential to existence; Suppose her people styled “barbarians,” and so forth; Their “chattels”

men are fighting, She's in the contract part of war delighting. She loveth war, while to her mill is brought The profitable grist! Her pockets lined-- For blood and misery she careth not, So they to other people are confined. Let others suffer as they will, 'tis naught To her and hers. And so the public mind She poisons and embitters with infusion Of negro madness, to prolong confusion. 'Tis true, the poor lost negroes, who are “free” By means of war, she hopes may all do well! But Governor Andrew, as we late did see, Can't entertain them for the briefest spell; For when they claimed his hospitality, He virtually told them, “Go to----!” No, no--New-England wants the negroes freed, But the poor darkies will not clothe and feed. In several places there are “contrabands” In utter misery and destitution, Poor Cuffee! he now understands The blessings brought on him, by revolution. And honest white men, in our own and other lands, Lament his losses, when we lost the Constitution

than “aggression” Of “slavery” upon the Northern rights! And Pharisees in pulpit, make profession Of Christian gifts — applauding deadly fights! O'er battle-fields they gloat! the sad procession Of killed and mangled are refreshing sights! For vacant hearth-stones, ruin, desolation, They say, are tokens of the land's salvation! But what aggression ever yet was made Upon a single Northern law or right? Did Southern people ever yet invade The soil of any State, for spoil or fight? Did any John Brown, at his felon's trade, A single Northern heart e'er wound or blight? (I mean of course, before we had secession-- The remedy, ill chosen, for the North's aggression.) “Oh! yes!” we're told, “they labored to expand The country's bounds! They years ago did vex us With Louisiana, (which turned out a grand Affair enough;) then Florida, then Texas Were taken in; enlarging thus the land Against the Northern protest; did perplex us With California, and some other slices Of Mexico, ag

Or ask the Indian files at night In Boston Bay, when “tea” was all in vogue — eh? Oh! these are names on history's gilt-edged paper! Which men will read while Time can hold his taper! But they, whose sires for right could thus contend, Have caught their spirit somewhere in extreme; And not content their own rights to defend, To quelch the rights of others is their dream! All — all — to them must basely bow and bend, Howe'er degrading such submission seem.

And honest white men, in our own and other lands, Lament his losses, when we lost the Constitution. Adown in Cairo there are sorry sights-- Negroes more wretched, even, than poor whites! The “old plantation!” How doth Cuffee mourn For home, and “massa;” and the jolly days, When he was “fat and saucy,” and could turn His back on want! He sang his simple lays-- Minstrel of nature! nor did he ever learn That he was all “down-trodden.” In the maze Of negro dance, with Dinah vis-a-vis, What monarch ever happier than he?

ire? Suppose all men were Christians, and existed To do just what the Christian rules require? Then our Constitution had not been resisted By Northern State laws! Then no frantic ire Had e'er inflamed the Southern men, to tear From Sumter's walls our banner floating there. For what has brought our land to this condition-- So feeble now, and late so hale and hearty? Not Christianity, but sinful superstition, Inspiring a politico-religious party Yelept Republican, but really Abolition! When Garrison, its founder, took his start, he Scarce could have hoped his English Yankee notion So soon would end in war's insane commotion. But he had chosen well his field of labor! He knew the puritanic inclination To regulate the doings of one's neighbor By one's own bigotry, for his salvation! And now for ferule they do wield the sabre, Since schooled has been the later generation To hate, to execrate, and to contemn Their countrymen, who ne'er had injured them! Yes — well he chose!
