Did he ever pick it up, or was it destined for the Dead Letter Office? If Melville did peruse this list in the New York Tribune, he would also have seen Whittier's poem "The Lumbermen" on the same page.

...

Cheerly, on the axe of labor,

Let the sunbeams dance,

Better than the flash of sabre

Or the gleam of lance!

Strike! With every blow is given

Freer sun and sky,

And the long-hid earth to heaven

Looks, with wondering eye!  --Whittier's The Lumbermen via American Verse Project
