TROM THE BALTIMORE DAILY REPOSITORY.
An ADDRESS to the CITIZENS
in conjiderivg the Magnetic Tides, which have de-
Jiroyed that Country at different periods, agreeing
with the late encroachments of the Ocean there.
TF I believe what heretofore
Has happened to this hollowed fliore,
May the next age piognofticate
An inundation for your fate ;
Then, BelgU Citizens, beware
Of what you can avoid with care.
Columbia's sons would you befriend,
Should you unto their voice attend.
Behold, with open arms they (land,
Upon the margin of the land,
Proclaiming welcome tothefe plains,
Where Liberty triumphant reigns.—
Come, listen to their timely call,
Thus, from the deep, prevent your fall.
Or will you difregatci their cries,
Close up your ears, ihutto'your eyes, / t-
And on your brittle banks depend t
Against the billows to defend ! \
Can you the troubled sea command, \
When building bufU-arks on the fa rid,
Saying that " we will be obcy'd,"
*' And hereJhall thy proud xuaves beJlay'd."
