BY LADY OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
This is no time to sickle about trifes. Every
moments delay increases tho danger to which our
brave countrymen are oxposed.'-N 0. Bulletin.
Awake! sound the tocsin for danger is nigh!
The slumber of peace must be broken at last
Then up at the signal-re-echo the cry,


And wide thro' the land bear the war-trumpet's s


blast


Hark the foe is upon us--tho peril is near
The Mexican comes, like food in its might!
Now, no,O is the hour to do and to dare ~
Up freemen up fearlessly--on to the fght!
Will ye rest here in safety, regardless of those
/, Who call for assistance your rights to defend!
Can ye pause for moment while kindred blood
And the Mexican hawk on their ranks may de-


scend!


Will ye coldy consider, while those who have come
10 share in the blessings so proudly ye boast,
Still ask your protection for children and home,
And all that by true men is valued the most
Up, up Lousianians The cry has been brought
From the fair Rio Grande invoking your aid
No lessons of valor TO you need be taught
Ye all know your duty the call has been made
Ha bark! The loud cannon already replies
The summons "to rally is fastening by
The music of drums on the distant air dies,
And banners unfurled thro' each crowded street 1y
On, on to the rescue! Your forefather's fame,
Embalmd in each heart, is emblazoned in story!
Remember, ye all have some kindred or name
Enrolled through their deeds on the annals Of


glory1


Then on Louisianians! again rouse the spirit
As certain to conquer prompt to repel!
'AwAI with the birth-nght ye proudly inherit
To the rescue of Taylor-to Point Isabel!
