Excerpt
Excerpt: Scene I. [A planter's house, with negro huts in the rear of it. The Fourth of July. On the open lawn, under the shadow of a group of trees, is a pic-nic table spread with fruit, flowers, decanters of wines, &c. Near by, is an arch made of evergreens, with the word LIBERTY interwoven with flowers. A group of Carolinians, at the table, are singing a verse of Adams and Liberty. At the close of the verse, they rise, touch glasses, and swinging them triumphantly, sing, Ne'er shall the sons of Columbia be slaves!
