They, in whose cause that arm its weapon drew,
Have murdered Mercy. Now alone shall stand
Blind Justice, with the sword unsheathed she wore.
Hark, from the eastern to the western strand,
The swelling thunder of the people’s roar:
What words they murmur,—Fetter not her hand!
So let it smite, such deeds shall be no more!
ISRAEL FREYER’S BID FOR GOLD.
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1869.
Zounds! how the price went flashing through
Wall street, William, Broad street, New!
