Strana 42 - Thou, too, sail on, O Ship of State! Sail on, O UNION, strong and great! Humanity with all its fears, With all the hopes of future years, Is hanging breathless on thy fate!

Strana 4 - It was a warning voice, coming from the grave to the Congress now in session to beware, to pause, to reflect, before they lend themselves to any purposes which shall destroy that Union which was cemented by his exertions and example.
Strana 91 - God ! the Prairie was on fire ! Around the centre of the plain A belt of flame retreat denied, — . And, like a furnace, glowed the train That walled them in on every side : And onward rolled the torrent wild, — Wreaths of dense smoke obscured the sky! The mother knelt beside her child, And all, — save one, — shrieked out, " We die ! " " Not so !
