in 1776, lavish expenditures of her treasure in defence of the Union; and the blood of her sons empurples the ocean and the lakes in every naval conflict, and moistens all the battle fields of the nation. No! all the traitors of the South, and all the Burrs, Arnolds, and Catalines of the North can never sever New England from the Republic. And now, in this hour of our country's peril, Missouri stretches her hands to New England, and to all the free and loyal States, and proposes, with their assistance, to abolish slavery, and link her destiny with theirs in the bonds of a perpetual Union. And shall we hesitate for a moment, on such a question? The money consideration is far less than a month's cost of the war, and sinks into insignificance compared with the momentous results and consequences. Emancipation in Missouri, with her consent and the aid of Congress, is the first grand decisive victory of the Union in this contest, insures eventual success, and must now be placed beyond all hazard or contingency. FOOTNOTES: [Footnote 7: 7th vol. Hamilton's 'Republic,' p. 189, and Jefferson's 'Autograph.'] THE SOLDIER'S BURIAL. Where shall we lay our comrade down? Where shall the brave one sleep? The battle's past, the victory won, Now we have time to weep! Bury him on the mountain's brow, Where he fought so well; Bury him where the laurels grow-- There he bravely fell! There lay him in his generous blood, For there first comes the light When morning earliest breaks the cloud, And lingers last at night! What though no flow'ret there may bloom To scent the chilly air, The sky shall stoop to wrap his tomb, The stars will watch him there! What though no stone may mark his grave, Yet Fame shall tell his race Where sleeps the one so kind, so brave, And God will find the place! Bury him on the mountain's brow, Where he fought so well; Bury him where the laurels grow-- There he bravely fell! LITERARY NOTICES.
