TEE RISING OP THE PEOPLE.
Poem Delivered before the Pal fata • Baps. Society
• of Harvard
BY ETIII3IDOB COTLER
The dram's wild roar awakes the land,; the
fife is calling shrill ;
Ten thousand starry banners blaze on town,
and bay and hill ;.
Our crowded streets are throbbing with the
soldier's measured tramp;
Among our bladed cornfields gleam the white
tents of the camp.
The thunders of the rising war hush labor's
drowsy hum,
And heavy to the ground the first dark drops
• of battle come.
The souls of men flame up anew, the narrow
heart expands ;
And woman brings her patient faith to nerve
her eager hands.
Thank God I we are not burned yet, though
long.in trance we lay.
Thank,God I the fathers need not blush to own
their sons to-day.
Oh I sad and slow the weeks went by; each
' 'held his anxious breath,
Like:one Who waits in helpless fear for some
sorrow great as death.
Oh I scarcely was there faith in God, nor any
trust in man,
While fast along the Southern sky the blight.
ing shadow ran.
It veiled the stars, one after one ; it hushed
the patriots song,
And stole from men the sacred sense that
parteth right from wrong.
Then a red flash, the lightning across the dark
ness broke,
And with a voice that shook the land the guns
of Sumpter spoke ;
Wake, sons of heroes, Wake 1 The age of
heroes dawns again';
Truth-takes iu hand her ancient sword, and,
calls her loyal men. .•
Lo ! brightly o'er the breaking day shines free..
dom'a holy star.
Peace cannot cure the sickly time. All hail,
the healer, war!
The calling was heard by Plymouth Rock;
'twas heard in Boston Bay;
Then up the Piny streams of Maine sped on its
ringing way.
New Hampshire's rocks,Termont's Green hills,
it kindled into flame;
Rhode Island felt her mighty soul bOrsting
her little frame;
The Empire City started up, her golden fetters
rent,;"
And meteor-like, across the North, the fiery
message sent;
Orer the breezy prairie land, by blufF and lake
it ran,
Till Kansas bent his armi and laugbed'to find
himself a man;
Then on by cabin and by, camp, by stony
, wastes and sands, •
It rang einitant down the sea where the Got
den City stands. •
And whereso'erthe summons came, there rose
an angry din,
As when upon a rocky coast a stormy tide
comes in.. '
Straightwaythe fathers gathered voice,straight
way the sons arose,
With flushing cheek, as when the East with
day's rod current flows.
Hurrah l the long despair is past our fading
hopes renew;
The fog is lifting from the land, and 10, the
ancient blue I
We learn the secret of the deeds the sires have
handed down.
To fire the youthful -soldier's zeal, and tend
his men renown.
Who lives for country, through his arm' feels
all his forces flow,
'Tis easy to be brave for - truth, as for the rose
to blow.
Oh I Law,
fair form of Liberty, God's light is
on thy brow. • •
Oh ! Liberty, thou soul of Law, God's very
self art thou ;
One the clear river's sparkling flood that
clothes the bank with green:,
And one the line of stubborn 'rock that holds
the water in—
Friends, whom we can not- think apart, seem
ing each other's foe :
Twined flowers upoin a single stock with equal
grace that grow.
Ohl fair ideas, we write your name across our
banner's fold; - • -
For you the sluggard's brain is fire ;" for you
the coward bold.
Oh! daughter of the bleeding past I Oh I hope

God gives us Law in Liberty, and Liberty ,in

" Never was the origin of a great straggle
mor inscrutable . than that of the one now
ragin' in Ainerica. . . Future historians
may perhapsdeteet.the dominant element in
the great ferMentation of passions and inter
ests, but we shall not affect to do so. .
Commercial jealousy, . a longing for in
dependence ~ . long bickering; and mit
that antipathies, may have found expression
in a fierce demand for political divorce. But
that the liberty of the African race was not
the true object of the movement on either
side, even at its outset, adinits of every proof
short of demonstration, and that the' slavery
question has since been utterly lost in the
melee of civil war, is capable of actual demon
stration."—The London :Times.
Just four centuries ago there lived in
England a man, great his dey, known
in history as 'Earl Warwick the King-,
maker.. For:years, sometimes siding With
one faction and sometimes with another,
he was a fruitful source of 'war to , Eng
land, and thel arbiter. of ber destinies;
until finally, by his turbulence, he brought
about his own destrudtiOn.. - Before' that
was affected, he, had set. up and pulled
down dynasties and kinge=he had caused
infinite wars and misery—and finally, at
one period, be, bad made the whole polity
o England. to rest on his shoulders. ' In
his time, in short, he ,was what Cotton is
in ours. Such was Earl: Warwick, of
whoin:Sume inset] these words, no less ap ,

Of some Paris Times or Amsterdam #er

convulsions to the exportation of - corn,-
then first permitted; to a national debt,
then first contracted ; or tolany and ev

existence and influence of the- great Earl
could, with an eye to various tender
points at home, be ever ignored. Yet to
day, ;four centuries later;-that is what the
English prim is persistently doing 'while
America is battling with . her great king.

"to longings.for independence," "to mu

absurdities, but the real cause tonc'hes
them too closely, and that they will not

"capable of demonstration" that thO real
cause has nothing to do with the result.

There are certain questions which are
