See, next, from the south, al huge gilt bubble rises
gewtching all heads, and attracting all eyes;
II rises and sails round the wide winding strand,
And the worlds all tiptoe to buy GEORGIA LAap.
So mad is the mania--so wide is it's range,
That y1,lions of acre. deemd but small change;
wighs in the market, can scarcely be known,
Unless he can call half a state all his own
But, see the huge bubble dissolve in the air
And the gull ors and gullee all rave in despair
Like the fan'd IrisA Cas- each falls on his brother,
And fg hts till they swallow up each The other
Yet the Ghost of this bubble still bears high fame
And often is conur'd up, 1asoe BY name;
Striking DIRE sd to the hearts OF men in high station
The terrible Stalking Horse of the whole nation.
Next we behold a bubble new,
Which fills the world with factors:
See, the busy busting crew
All selling PATENT TRACTORS.
Two magic Points, discovered late,
Set all the world to scratching;
They change the destnies of fate
And give disease thwacking:
Scratch'd by the Points, each cripple springs
Old age throws by his crutcfes;
Loud peans al the nation sings,
Escap'd from PANS tell clutches.
BY this faYfam'd cstholicon
Diseases hosts routed;
By common hands all Something's done,
And starving Doctors secuted.
But soon tbs bubbles BURST disease
Then triumphs DER the Jraciors!-
Scratch-ors themselves become ssraieh.sss.
AsA 50 do all skesr tsstsrs.

IT'S bubble Of St&Gs
See il rise
To the skies;
The atmosphere grosns with ito weight
No wonder we trust,
This bubble should burst;
MouSTAgs OF SALT is its freight
Another State bubble is rising,
Its size, nnonstrous surprising
Vale deep It's loaded down with Frigates spawn!
In folly's region rising high.
II foats around the southern sky,
Sails high DER hill, dale, river lake and lawn.
AT length, (the Ftgates eggs dis.ending)
The bubble huge seems fast de.cendingi
In broad Potomack's stream It's seen to light;
Amazing in the water warm,
The Frgates' eggs all hatch and swarm,
And 10 whole fleets of GuN BOATS rise TO sight
Obedient to the laws of nature,
(That instinct which protects each creatare)
The ne w.hatch'd Gun Boats shun the vasty deep ~
Turning tail TO- they nobly run,
The monsters of the deep they shun,
And in the creeks, and puddle water creep.
Next, rises bubble an engine of war,
To blow up old Neptune, and SILVER bis car;
To dive, in dark foggy night, deep in balloon.
And blow up the ocean to spatter the moon!
From east west north south, thro' the whole nation,
Tacticians, and engineers, men in high station. Is
Assemble 70 gaze and admire the state bubble 49,

Alas, and alack for the "ToRPEpo WAR"
Whose terrors fames trumpet had sounded afar:
For the cocks, "6oson upward" disturb the ssss,
And the mighty Blow-ors turn TO little Blow-sss
