Weep! weep! for a fallen land.
For a standard Bheot laid low!
Freedom is lostl let every heart
Echo the note of wot
Yea, weep yo soldiers, weep:
'Twill not vour manhood stain
To mourn with grievous bitterness
Honor and valor slain!
Weep, friendless women, weep!
For tho golden days of yore
For the desolate homes, tho aching hearts,
Tho lovod ones are no more.
Bravely they fought and weil,
That noble hero band;
Bravely they fought, and bravely died,
To save their suffering laud.
Our Southorn 6oil is red
With tho blood of uianv slain;
Like sacrificial wino it fell,
But the sacrifice was vain. . . /

O, God! that thiB should bo,

Let Southern men bow meekly down
To tyranny and shanie!
Great God! that such should live
To hail tho fatal hour,
That crushes freedom to the dust.
'Neath Northern hate and power!
But many a patriot heart
Yet thrills to tho war-god's breath;
And many still would battle on
For freedom to the death!
Woopl weep! but not for them,
The martyrs 'neath tho sod,
For they eternal peace have found
Around tho throne of God.
Peace! peace! 'tis but a word
A mockerv-a name
Alas, O, God! 'tis but tho wreath
That hides the tyrant's chain!
Yet, if it thus must bo
And freedom ne'er be von
Then. Father, give us strength to say,
"Thy will on earth bo done!"
"To ravage, to slaughter, to usurp under
false titles, they call government; and
where they make a desert, they call it
peace.
THE HAIJLS OF TARA.
BY 1UCHABD FAULKNER.
There is deep pathos, in tho deep
lines of Thomas Moore, ns ho sings,
in words that burn like diamond
sparks, of tho Halls of Tara. To its
sweetness and sadness, every Irish
heart must respond; at, least, every?
one to which tradition has sent down
this solemn charge, to "remember tho
glories of Brinn tho Brave."
For it was in those very halls that
the good old king, Brian Borohme,
of Munster, received the homage of
his bitterest enemy, Malachi, King
of Meath. Within sight of Tara's
loftiest hill, two fierce and passionate
men had fought for supreme power.
Both were brave, both ambitious;
but Brian's genius and talent en?
listed ardent supporters, and tho
contest ended in victory to him.
Under his peaceful and gentle
sway, Ireland prospered as it never
had prospered before. Peace and
plenty were in tho land. The con?
vents, that had been nearly destroy?
ed by tho half-savage Northern men,
as well as tho strong-holds of tho
country, were acquired during his
reign; and Ireland had her palmiest
days in that period of the tenth
century.
For nearly a quarter of a century,
the country was quiet beneath that
gentle sway; but then there was
thrown into it, the root of bitterness.
Two Kings-the King of Dublin,
and the King of Leinster-joined
together in making an incursion into
the Kingdom of Meath, for preda?
tory purposes. This unlooked-for
outrage woke up the lion heart of
Brian. His son, Donough Borohme,
who inherited his father's brave
2utilities, was despatched at once to
leinster, at the head of a large force,
and there seemed no doubt that the
enemy would be speedily quelled.
Indisputably, it would have result?
ed thus, had it not? been for the
traitorous conduct of some of the
good old King's own followers. Sick
at heart, yet still as brave and un?
flinching as ever, he rode through
ibo ranks, bearing aloft the sacred
Cross, exhorting the remnant of his
soldiers to strike home for the faith. Of
all the Milesian chiefs, none presents
a more powerful and striking picture
to the imagination, than this gray
haired old man, calling upon his
children to fight for tho religion of
the Saints. That still stately form,
the unwithered hand clasping the
crucifix, fixed the eyes of the little
band, and Brian almost believed that
they could win the victory even
now. He never flagged for an in?
stant, until the night shadows began
to close around. Then, spent and
exhausted, some of his old warriors
assisted him to his tent, and ho left
the result to his young and valiant
soldiers, headed by his son. It was
indeed a victory; but scarcely had the
welcome shouts from Brian's own
troop?- announced the fact, than his
privacy was invaded by a straggling
party, whose leader had sworn to
nvenge his defeat upon the good old
King.
For this purpose, they pursued
their way to his tent, where they
found him upon his knees at prayer.
The first note of conquest had drawn
away his companions, and the King
was loft alone. Alone, but for the pre?
sence of ahoy, scarcely more than a lit?
tle ohild, who had clung to him as to a
father. Even then, the slight arms
vf or o about his neck as he prayed,
and his prayers were echoed by as
sweet a voice as ever ct? me from
bum nu lips. Alas! what availed that
childish clasp before the terrors of
the savage intruders! Wounded and
bleeding, Brian fell beneath the
furious stabs that pierced that noblo
heart! lu vain the terrified boy
shrieked for aid. In vain his slight
hand clasped the handle of Brian's
goudrons sword, asl* to draw iL upon
is muidoxeis. One fell purpose
filled their revengeful breasts, and
they neither saw nor heard tho puny
stripling, who dared to screen their
victim from their rage. Tho body
fell to tho ground with a dull thud,
that struek terrer tb tho child's
bosom. His protector, his second
father, was no more-tho lion heart
had broken! At this moment of ex?
treme pain and grief to tho boy,
Donough Borohrac, tho conquerer,
rushed into tho lent. With a wail
that might almost have wakened tho
dead, ho knelt besido the bleeding
body of his father nud his King.
He saw nothiug, felt nothing, but
that a murderer's hand had stricken
down tho noblo old warrior, until tho
boy crept round and laid his cold
aud trembling hand upon his shoul?
der.
"Ivar, my darling! aro you hore,
too? What terrible fate led you to
this scene? Aud how did you escape
that savage horde?"
"I was praying besido him when
they came, and they wore too mad
with rage to notice me."
"O, my child! what au escape you
have had. I must take you away
before they roturn." And sounding
a silver bugle that hung nt his belt,
his brave soldiers soon filled tho tent.
"Look!" he exclaimed, "look herc,
brave souls! and see the price of our
victory."
They knelt down, aud each one
touched tho bloody vestments of tho
dead, aud s\voro eternal hate to the
murderers. One lingered long, and
gazed sadly ou tho calm, white face.
"They broko tho noblest heart
that ever beat, my comrades!" he
said, as he arose from his knees.
Solemn obsequies, indeed, wore
those of King Brian. Not a soldier
in tho army that did not drop a tear
over the glorious dead; not a heart
that did not sorrow most of all, that
they could soe his face no moro.
The flower of Erin's chivalry lay there
withered. Tho purest and grandest
heart of all the Milesian chiefs was
lying low, its pulses stilled forever.
But dearly as Donough Borohmc
had loved tho father aud his King,
bitterly as ho wailed for his terrible
death, there was a balm for his griefs,
a consolation for all his sorrows, in
tho pnro, unworldly love of the little
page, who had witnessed tho dread?
ful scene of King Brian's death. He
bore him to his beautiful home, with?
out any suspicion on the part of the
soldiers who accompanied him, that
the boy was other than he seemed.
Once safe within tho walls, the
pago was never again seen; but a
gentle littlo lady, who might easily
have passed as hi ; sister, with the
samo Moorish tint in lip and cheek,
sat at Donough's board, nestled close
beside him.
"Men called her angel, but he call?
ed her wife."
Dearer by . far, because she had
seen the bravo old warrior die; had
prayed all night in his father's lonelj
tent; she was the only woman he evei
loved.
The secret of her birth, and tin
place where they found her secreted,
was only known to tho good ole
King Brian anel his son. For manj
years tho child had dwelt in the
castlo, arrayed in tho dress of a pago,
lest by wearing the clothes of bei
sex, she might be spirited away b\
the peoplo who had held her ii
bondage, and who might recognize
her. When Brian and Donough wen
to battle, she begged, with man]
tears, to accompany them; and th?
King, at last, consented to her going
provided she would promise never t(
desert his camp, where he woule
leave a faithful servant iu charge o
her.
Here, then, the giri passed tin
lonely days in tears, and prayers fo
those she loved. Here, on bendee
knees, she supplicated the God o
battles, all through that dreary night
guarded by the soldier who was neve
to leave her alone for a moment, am
who well fulfilled the trust. Am
here Brian found her, when ho re
turned, a conquerer, alas! for a brie
moment, in which the dark eyes hai
hardly time to recover their look o
sunny gladness, ero she saw him ruth
lessly murdered before her agonize?
gazo.
Donough's friends hoped that th
sovereignty would bo tendored t
him, as his father's successor; bu
had he wished it, there were to
many whom Malachi had won ove
to his side; and almost before Brian
ashes were cold, his rival re-ascende
the throne of death; while Donoug
retired to his castle among the hil
of Munster, with his beautiful brid?
Brian had named the little foina
ling Ivar, after one of three famou
sea-kings; and she would not no
relinquish the name so endeared ?
her by remembrance. They wei
I married on the very night of the:
return, and, from this time, sb
ceased to fear the persecution <
the foes of her childhood. Absorbe
in the love of her husband, life b
came to her as one long summer chv
Simple ah a cottage girl, she cou)
be as queenly as any of the consor
of neighboring Kings, when stat
liness demanded it of her. She wi
worthy of her high estate-worthy to
bo the mother ot Kiugp, but fate
decreed otherwise.
Malachi, King of Meath, was a
brave man; but a King, moro power
fid than himself, conquered him at
l'asfc-thb King of Terrors. He died
in 1022; and Donough should have
succeeded him to the-Kingdom. But
hia right was once more opposed.
This time, Donough's heart was in?
terested in tho conquest, and he
fought lik? a lion for his right. Ho
was Brian Borohrue's heir-"Brinn
terrible in battle, wiso iu counsel," a
man who had stood bend and shoul?
ders above every Irish King that had
been boru for centuries. It was tho
bitterness of death to him-this dc
deat-for defeat come. He grew
morbid-almost insane under the
blow. Sad and depressed, he walk?
ed tho solitary rooms of tho castle,
unheeding that Ivar sat alone in her
chamber, awaiting the advent of his'
child. She heard the sound of his
foot-steps tramping the stone floors,
and shuddered to lind that oven her
tenderness had no balm for his
wounded spirit.
Mid-night came, but the uuquiet
soul kept tho body restless, and still
the foot-steps sounded beneath her.
In that dark hour, her child's brief I
life came and went; and its beautiful
mother never saw the light of morn?
ing upon the earth.
Fully awakened by his double loss,
tho unhappy King resigned himself
to despair. He hung wildly over tho
beautiful remains of tho mother and
child, perfectly distracted with grief
aud anguish. For days ho kept
them from burial, and would not be
persuaded that they could not bo
restored to life. At length, when
decay touched the sweet faces with
it3 effacing linger, ho resisted no
longer.
The next day after tho mournful
burial, ho resigned his kingdom, and
went out an exile from the home of
his fathers, to wander away in foreign
lauds. The heaths of Ireland felt
his springing foot-steps no more.
Life was hateful to one who had
given up wife, child and kingdom in
a singlo day. Wandering thus, ho
chanced to seat himself, ono day,
near the gate of a convent. Thc
cool, grey walls seemed to woo the
Bufferer reposing in their shadow.
Next to death, thc convent seemed
to hold a place of rest for the weary;
and he rang tho convent bell, and
was admitted. Lonely and silent
never speaking to the brothers, and
holding slight communion with tho
head of tho monastery, he lived
years in . the performance of his
duties as one of the order, yet so
mechanically that ono would have
said there was no heart in that thin
body-no central fires in that dumb
soul.
It was a day in summer-so bright,
so beautiful-with the blue sky
bending so loving above, and the
emerald grass lying so quietly be?
neath, that earth seemed as lovely
as Heaven. A quiet grave-yard it
was, where the sunshine kissed the
grass, aud tho shadow of tall trees
lay over an open grave. Presently,
there came down tho pathway from
tho couvent, a loug procession of
monks, bearing a bier.
Suddenly, from tho little chapel,
there arose upon tho summer air a
chant, so sweet, yet so heart-break?
ing in its sweetness, that tho very
birds hushed their mid-summer
carols to listen. Nearer and nearer,
"charging tho cedars with all mourn?
ful chords," until the long troop of
mourners stopped beside the still
grave. The bier was lowered, and
the face of the dead gleamed up
white., yet with a Heavenly serenity,
that told of ineffable grace. A
solemn burial service succeeded, and
then arose a strain, so grand, so joy?
ful, so expressive of a sublime hope
and triumph beyond that low grave,
that it seemed almost to be tho
departing spirit upon its power and
might. When all was over, and tho
procession wound through the over?
shadowed pathway, on its way back,
one who stood near asked tho grave?
digger whom he was interring there.
"Ho was, -brother Adrian-God
rest his 8oul!'%said tho old monk, de?
voutly crossing himself.
"Did you know his name in the
world?"
"What matters," rejoined the
monk. "I only know that there he
lies."
"But I know. He was a King
almost a demigod. He was tho bravo
sou of the Irish King, the good
Brinn Borohme. Father and son
both murdered. Truly may you say,
'God rest that tempest-tossed, world
tried soul.' "
Another spadeful of earth, and the
face of Donough Borohme was hid?
den from the light of day; but wo
know that in the Heavenly kingdom
its likeness is shining in tho Arch?
angel's face, with a light that shall
not grow dim through all eternity.

In elemaneling these measures and rc

disregard of right, and tho unparallele
oppression and tyranny which have marl
ed its career. After tho most solemn an
unanimous pledge of both Houses of Cor
gross to prosecute the war exclusively fe
the maintenance of the Government an
tho preservation of the Union, under th
Constitution, it has repeatedly violate
that most sacreel pledge, under wilie
alono was rallied that noble voluntee
army, which carried our dag to victory.
Instead of restoring tho Union, it ha!
so far as is in its power, elissolveel it, an
subjected ton States, in times of profonn
peace, to military despotism and negi
supremacy.
lt has nullified there the right of tri

pus, that most sacred writ of liberty;
has overthrown the freeelom of speech ar

seizures and arrests, and military tria
and secret star-chamber inejuisitions fi

gardod, in timo of peaco, tho right of tl

ure?; it has entered tho post and telegraj
offices, and even the privato rooms of i
dividuals, and seized their private papo

notico of affidavit, as required by the e
ganic law; it has converted tho Americi
capitol into a bastile; it has established
system of spies and official espionage
which no constitutional monarchy of E

baned the right of appeal on importa

den of the debt crcate-el by tho war. It 1

vember next, and inaugurate its Preside
wo will meet, as a subjected andconquei
people, amid tho ruins of liberty and I
scattered fragments of the Constituti
and wo do declare and resolve that, e
since tho people of tho United Sta
threw oft" all subjection to tho Prit
crown, the privilege and trust of auffri
have belonged to the several States, t
havo been granted, regulated and c
trolled exclusively by tho political poi
of er eh State respectively, and that I
attempt by Congress, on any pretext wi
over, to eleprive any Stato of this right
to interfere with its oxerciso, is a ilagr
usurpation of power which can find
warrant in tho Constitution; and, if sa
tioned by the people, will subvert our fe
of Government, and can only end i
single centralized and consolidated
\ eminent, in which the separate existe
? of the States will bo cut ?rely absorbed,
an unqualified despotism be ostablis
j iu plaoo of a Federal Union of co-ec
Statis; and that we regard the reconsti
tlon Acts (so-called) of Congress as s
ore usurpations, ana unconstitutional,
volutionary, and void; that our sold
and sailora, who carried the flag of

and determined foe, must ever be gr
tully remembered, and all the guaran
given in their favor must ho faithfully car?
ried into execution.

buted as widely as possible among the

When* grants of tho public lands may bo
