Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Poetry and Incidents., Volume 4. (ed. Frank Moore), chapter 43 (search)
All the fetid gall that drips From the land's infected lips, In the murky woof embroider Darkness, death, and hell's disorder. Weave we in the magic loom Piles of slain without a tomb, Cities lit with midnight fires, Crashing walls and toppling spires, Famine's sunken, ghastly cheek, Outraged woman's helpless shriek, Hoary age and infancy Plunged in one wide misery; In the murky woof embroider Darkness, death, and hell's disorder. Let the banner's folds be bound With a fiery serpent round; Eden's destroyer shall recal The new temptation, sin, and fall. We have changed the stripes of flame To the burning blush of shame, And the streaks of spotless white To the pallor of affright, And the stars which blazoned all To wormwood in its endless fall. The song of treason ceased — the demons fled, And as I mused in the dark bitterness Of grief to this sad prophecy of woe, I heard a sound, as when the ocean moves His moist battalions to the tempest's march, To storm the fortress of the rocky

Better the freeman's lowliest grave Than golden fetters of a slave; Then with or on thy shining shield Return, Kentucky, from the field. If bribed by lust of power or gold, Thy country's welfare thou hast sold, Iscariot-like thy name shall be In Freedom's dark Gethsemane; Disgrace and fell remorse shall plough Eternal furrows o'er thy brow; By angels, men, and fiends abhorred-- Like Judas who betrayed his Lord. Outcast at home — across the sea, Shunned like a leper thou shalt be-- N

llars per day to our State and Federal Government. I, for one am tired of such a useless tax, and will now suggest a form of government which will rid the people of it and them. I propose that Virginia forthwith declare herself independent of the Federal Government, and then that every county in the State of Virginia declare itself independent of the State government — each county taking care of itself; every county will be taken care of. Justice being the law, and magistrates enforcing it, we shall have no need of learned ignoramuses to legislate for us. By throwing open our ports we should make friends of the world, and have no need of standing armies, nor Old Abe as President. Our postal affairs can be much better conducted by express companies, on the insurance principle. Respectfully submitted by L. L. Lee, Of Prince George County, Va. Eden, April 9, 1861. P. S.--Let him that is opposed to me challenge for debate; Those that take sides with me will promulgat
