The Hillsborough Recorder

From the National Intelligencer,
CAMPAIGN SONG
Air—"Star-spangled Banner."
Oh! do you not hear, as it leaps through the air,
A shout whose sound reaches from ocean to ocean!
'Tis the 'larum note clear of the free, far and near,
Striking home to the heart 'midst the din and commotion.
And no longer we pause,
Traitors scoff at the laws,
Constitution and Union,
Which we've made our cause;
Then fling broad the banner, the Union we'll save
To the sons of the Free, in the land of the Brave.
The foemen now dare to advance from the lair,
Where have lurk'd their vile aims 'gainst the peace of the Nation:
Unblushing they ask, as each thrust off the mark,
Success to their cause, or Disunion! Secession!
But hear well the cry,
To the ballot-box ply,
And conjure all faction,
Conquer nobly or die:
So the flag of our Nation not a star less may wave
O'er the land of the Free and the home of the Brave:
Oh! do you but see (down in fair Tennessee)
A Chieftain whose record we all may confide in!
Another whose fame, link'd with Washing-ton's name,
Has stirr'd through the land we're all proud to reside in!
Then, with statesmen on just,
Whom the People will trust,
To conquer is easy,
All conquer we must,
"Bell and Everett" our champions, the Union they save.
And long, long, wave our Flag o'er the Free and the Brave!
F.Y.
Washington, August 20, 1860.
