Alike for a Liberty-Victory plead;
And triumph and peace shall thro' righteousness come,
When Slavery dies and its pleaders are dumb.
Even when Fort Sumter was environed by threatening Rebel batteries, there was a spirit of compromise in all the land; but the first gun aimed at the Flag of Liberty was "the beginning of the end" of Slavery, The Star Spangled Banner of our fathers, that had long floated in honor and triumph, was trodden down and trailed in the dust by miscreant-traitors; and it must yet be vindicated and exalted in righteousness, though it be through blood and fire.

W Stands for Woman. In Slavery-life,
Full many are mothers, but no one is wife
