Fiing out the starry banner
ToAbe sun, ami let it wave
Amid the lot d hosanna
OF tite brothers of the brave;
Fling out the star-girt glory,
Let it cleave the wavy light,
While we hearken to the story
Of Buena Vista fight.
Like storm-cloud big with thunder,
And the gathered fire of old,
While the lightning playing under
Its seamy vest of gold,
As it moves dread and solemn,
With its death-bolt in its hand—
Moved pennon, plume and column
Of Our lion-hearted band.
A thousand hearts were beating
With the impulse of the brave
A thousand eyes were meeting
The vassals of a (lave;
When they rushed on battle’s pinions
With a loud and stirring shout,
That made the cave’s dominions
Give its thunder echo out.
Like a tempest on the ocean,
When an armament of sail
Struggles raiuly with the motion
Of the billow and the gale,
Upon the foe, and up to heaven,
Burst the host end thunder peal,
And the burnished air was riven
With the lightning of the steel.
The sun, whose face was glowing
With the morning’s latest kiss,
Grew dim while clouds were flowing
O’er its vaulted home of bliss—
Thick clouds that loomed unbidden
From the lines of sheeted flame,
Beneath whose folds were hidden
Many a burning blush of shame.
Like a giant strong, but drunken,
Reeled the phalanx of the foe,
And hit rude, red arm was shrunken
From the stalwart freeman’s blow;
While the warrior-shout was hushing
And his flag trailed in the dust,
And gory rills were gushing
From the nation’s men of trust.
mi i a ouuui as pcuiiug
From the children of the free,
And valiant ones are kneeling
To the Lord of victory ;
While the eunset’s timed gleaming,
On the dabbled stream of gore,
Fell brightly as the streaming
Of its light on Hella’i shore.
And ere It yet departed,
Its lingering glances fell
• On the manly tear that started
From the victor, at the knell
Of the dying men who crowded
To the battle's deadly fray—
Whose dark eyes now are shrouded
From the lovsd ones far away.
Our dead 1 they died in glory,
And mountain, lea and glen,
Shall breathe the deathless story
Of the iron-sinewed men
Who tank to rest at even,
On the battle’s red domain,
And trod from earth to heaven
From Buena Vista’s plain.

FOR THE
Tri-weekly True Democrat,
Thf. publishers of the Trok Democrat
propose to issue a “tri-weekly edition” of theii
paper, in addition to the weekly, and com
mence its publication about the first day
Of June next, or sooner, if 1,000 subscri
bers be obtained.
The great battle of the age is to be fought
in November next, and it is necessary that
every mau in the community should be kept
informed of the movement of the enemy. The
very existence of the South is at stake, and
it becomes every Southron to be up and doing.
Intending to be firm and decided, yet calm
and prudent, it will be our aim to defend the
rights of the South without bluster or bravado.
The times demand increased activity on the
fiart of democrats, and that full and speedy
nformation should be spread before the pub
lic. This is the first enterprise of the kind
in the State—is demanded by the exigencies
of the times, and we confidently look to the
Democracy for Us support.
Terms.— five dollars a year. For the
campaign, say until August 15th, “one dol
lar,” or till Nov. 15th, “two dollars.” Pay
ment expected on the “issue of the first num
ber.” The size of the tri-weekly will be 25
by 38 inches, containing 28 columns.
