New England (United States) (search for this): chapter 156
ing your supplies from some far nation, And not from mad New-England, you'd have made Her bigotry surrender to the laws of trinding it to be a loss undoubted. Some fifty years ago, New-England thought The war with Britain was a grievous wrong. It toust by herself, and work her own salvation. She boasts, New-England does, of her capacity For making money; and we grant theospitality, He virtually told them, “Go to----!” No, no--New-England wants the negroes freed, But the poor darkies will not cling disturbers could be kept away. It could not last. New-England's pseudo saints Must rectify affairs to suit their notioof Abolition! The land in other parts howe'er distrest-- New-England yet will “feather her own nest.” But they did err in chosays “Vaulting ambition doth o'erleap itself,” And even New-England may see other days, When ruined hopes another tale will ected, And came, besides, so very unexpected. All hail, New-England! We have heard your cry For Pompey, till the matte

e-- Laying her Sumners quiet on the shelf! For vain regrets her time will then be ample, Her idle spindles gathering no pelf. Inevitable fate! and then, when non est Her profit, she'll in wrath, at least, be honest. Pompeii sported — eating, drinking, making love, in House, hall, or chamber, to the latest hour; The baker, jocund, putting in his oven The neatest little loaves of four ace flour; And not a soul suspecting that above, in Laden darkness came volcanic shower! And yet it came! Vesuvius, 'midst the flashes Of lurid gloom, sent up a world of ashes! And so the world (except of ashes) ended For proud old Pompeii and all her people. They would no doubt have gallantly defended Themselves, if possible; but 'neath a heap, all Ash and cinders, they in vain contended With fate — when ashes buried even the steeple. Sad lot, Pompeii I was for you selected, And came, besides, so very unexpected. All hail, New-England! We have heard your cry For Pompey, till the matter's rather stal

people. They would no doubt have gallantly defended Themselves, if possible; but 'neath a heap, all Ash and cinders, they in vain contended With fate — when ashes buried even the steeple. Sad lot, Pompeii I was for you selected, And came, besides, so very unexpected. All hail, New-England! We have heard your cry For Pompey, till the matter's rather stale; And now 'tis time you'd think of Pompeii And her distressing and suggestive tale. A grand eruption may come, by and by, Of Western passion, and it may not fail To ‘whelm your interests. So, do think again Of Pompeii, or of the “cities of the plain.” Those “cities of the plain” went down in sorrow, Because of sin and shame — perhaps you know; But from their sorry fate can you not borrow A hint to mend your ways, and better grow? Suppose that you, like Sodom and Gomorrah, Were brought to judgment. Could you show A record clear of malice, avarice, and pride, Bigotry, intolerance, and grievous things beside? --Missour

on, 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, against our sage advices.” Thus we have briefly told “what was the matter;” Thus the “aggression” of the South we see!

aw” 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 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 m

it seems that he had played, And so in Heaven could no longer stay. But war, I'm satisfied, he never made, As Milton tells us. There was no display Of spears and shields and other like “material,” And loud explosions from the guns ethereal. No! Milton's epic's very far from true-- (A stately story, but a sorry quiz,) So, let the devil ever have his due, And do not paint him blacker than he is. For he to “set a squadron” never knew, Nor ever heard a single bullet whiz. No, he had failed to ruleress, Because his plottings had been counteracted; The rule of others only would oppress, He said; and so to rule, himself, exacted; But failing, took his leave, and sundry minions-- Dropping headlong into his own dominions. And this was all. So Milton's solemn song Belies the devil, (in angelic verse,) For Lucifer is guiltless of the wrong Of armed rebellion! This is something worse Than even he enacted, when on pinions strong The gulf to Erebus he did traverse. No, no — he's bad enough; b
