A wholesome Yankee dressing, o.
Why then, TO be sure, in the very strug-
gle and d.tcmpesi Of strife, when every iuinS
soul was choakcd TO death with blood and
dust, and the rest were laying about them,
for dear life, with their Shillalas and supple
Jacks, like the whifc boys of sweet Ireland,
and dastins the redeoafs, in jonsaie way;
why, Just then, by ST. Partrick, this self samc
Governor Sheafe, that would be, was seen
lolliug at bis case, with both Pockets IN his
hand, careless of his own dear conntrymen as
q crocodile of her brood, who were one and
all, 65fh together, In the mean time, teaching
John Bulls 6iood-hounds the '' manual erer-
cise cfheeis,"a at the same time, were play
ing up a nate little bit of lid Ro.I, &c.
And when again, with might and main,
John Bull provoked the battle, D;
And while, with fears he shook his ears,
And roar'd like other cattle, ..
Why then to teach him where TO fy,
Aud save, at last. his bacon, y,
James hung his Li.e Gyhfs OUT, so sly,
Or John would have been taken, o.
For fanny, dye see, was OF the Washing
toh School don't mistake, my dear homes,
what don't say, Jammy was indeed OF Peter
Washington's scboool, who as my country
man w'ih the strong uamc says, ate his nara
fees al Psssamaqusddy, and burnt 6tue hShfs,
and, ,tuc monarphist, worshIpped his old
!. ftieod the devil. ,NVeIi now, by soul, while
Jammy was introElucing John out of macy a
d-------d serape, BY means, oil his INDIGO.
FIRE, Billy Plummcr and his brave comrada
were gaining vctofies, guaidin our rights,
and at the success of our arms, playing up a
nate little bit of Tip Re.l,&c.
z And when, at last, in every blast,
\ Our 6nnfin took Froiic, o.
= And Perry's dose. had gripd SO close,
AS gave poor John the cholic, D.
Then Jammy. by my soul. was known,
To pity the KIso's-EvIL, o,
And wish'd our tars with many groan,
To Dar,moor or the Devil, U.
And by my faith and tro.h, what mors nat
nral, for where a mans heart is, there is his
treasare--and what cares fellow for your
M'Donoughs, and Decaturs, and Huils, and
per,ys, and the rest Of them, who is, at least,
in his " ,nind's eye" hand and glove with
your Regents and Dukes, and Casiiereaghs, and
Liverho o!s, and WeLliagfonS, aud Losvets, and
.odses, and Cob6eis, aud stars, and gibbons,
and gar,crs, and pimps, aud walters, and lac
,qusys, who johoso the court of ST. James be-
fore and here and there aud every, and no
at all at all.--whi.c, by my soul, the poor
republican Yankee sings song about LIZ
nRrY, toas,s the CONSTITUTIONS, and plays
nate little bit of lid Rel, Sc.
And now again. on Orleans plaih,
To cure the royal bhthisic. o,
Poor Wheeling John insisted on
A dose OF Jackson's physic, u.
But, faith, so potent was the dram,.
Il shook his constitution, o.
Amt those that ssay'd with Pakenhsm,
Ran of in great confusion, D.
Ah /! bu, this was heart aching news for
Governor Jammy and the Harlford Convcn-
,ion. Many Of the right reverend clergy
too, Heaven mend their souls, when they
saw that tho iiAe hig had escaped their
clutches, hung their uodcr lips like moth
crlcss colt, aud the barbcr's fee rose so per
cen, on every federal jaw-bone. While, in
mean time, by my soul, tho republic ans,
whom call the uhifs boys Of .dmeriea, were
eating and drsnking, and fddhng, aud dancing,
and huzzaing, for Jackson's victory, and play
log up little bit of q lid Rel, Sc.
but now Ills peace. let faction cease,
And virtue come in fashion. D,
For Feds and fools, and Brush toolss
Shall no more rule the nation, D.
Let PruMss guide the helm Of State,
VITA wise and equal motion, u,
And Jammy live among the Gseat,
On g efhsr eide the OCEAN, q.
Aad long life to his absence, if he sets
sal! tomorrow morning before sun set.
For by st. Par,rick,w whether he be Sheefo OF
Oats, or OF Barley, he cannot cxpec,
TO reign in sreo country, with all his moo-
arcbaI sohim spaams about him, with moe
