The Arkansas advocate., 1836-09-02

The old Egyptians worshipped biack calf,
 The Hlndustanese venerable COW, And some, (nay, gentle reader, do not laugh
 In adoration bend before sow, While we, not being so sensible by half,
 In deep humiliation gravely bow Before whiskered and bad-headed fox Who for our loyalty repays sound knocks With Amos Kendall at the helm of state,
 The vessel surely most go to the -, Pray skip that last word. if be not too late
 To ears polite it hardly soundeth cvil)- But truth it is, if we upon him wait,
 Our destination must of course be evil If he $ our guardian angel, as they say The Lord preserve us l-that' $ all we 've to pray We Ire brave nation--not a year ago,
 We were on tiptoe for with France In every breast heroic zeal did glow,
 And martial visions all our souls entrance, To strike against the lily flag blow,
 Use up the French and at Versailles to dance You would have thought the Gaus all gone suckers Beyond the help of twenty thousand Ruckers wBlood fire smoke carnage, death!" all the song The hills re-echoed with the martial fury We were quite right the French as surely wrong,
 The cash must be paid over in hurry, Our bold defiance o'er the seas flung,
 We fioundered like rght-whale in his furry, And swore, at each arrival of on. dts, We d whip Jean Crdpeau for 1t into fits. Unluckily there came border war
 A few half-starved, haf-naked Indians dared Make eud with US the mghty--near and far
 The tocsin pealed, the warning beacon glared, The war-horse stamped, and women shrieked in ave- While the loud cannon roared--With sabre barred, Our troops rushed n got whipped and that being done Went into quarters, to avoid the Some millions spent--our nations name disgraced- The deep green hannocks with our best blood wet Some noble names from lifes broad book erased Tue General raving--of6cers in his fret Removed cashered, appointed and displaced And the small handful far from conquered yet Hail, hail Columbia great in arts and arms, Thy voice the universal tumult cans Well, glory is great thing any way,
 And so is humbug-we I've enough of both To pay for our disasters, any day,
 And our disgraces, so we Fl not be wroth, Though honor, virtue, fame, all glide away,
 And rank corruption flourish with our growth I say we have enough--t will tell in story At least, one kind of glory-hurra glory. aG1ory enough in serving such Chief!''
 aProud of the collar of so great man s Opinions worthy of chickenAthief,
 A servant of the Autoerat or Khan A politicians character in brief!
 Search through the world from Beersheba to Dan, And find one other slaye if such there be, So far debased, then tell him he is free. Yet such as these now rule us and have made
 The land mart, where men are bought and sold, Like sheep at fars-and where the price Is paid For each apostate-etfees or gold. Patience would tire, the boldest be dismayed,
 Ere the long list of demagogues told So we shall only notice half dozen, Of those who most the people cheat and cozens First Benton, with his half d dozen schemes His Gold Bll his Expuhging Resolutions, His forticaton vagares and dreams,
 Emeritus Professor of confusion, Humbug and cant-hs brain with nonsense teems- In short, he's Politico-Rosicrucian, Well skilled in the philosophy of knavery, And, slave himself, would make general slavery. There's Hill and Lane and Free Tom Moore, and Polk Woodbury, Kendall, Fancy, Cambrelng, Walker and l,vtlc. Blalr. whom truth would choke. Hawes, Mann, q speak of "Bre, poor little thingD Whitney and all the "Previous Question" folk,
 Niles, Beardsley, Hubbard, Cushman, Granny King, r. 0. J. Smith, Page, Shepley, Ratif Boon, They crowd me like blackberries in June. Such things these can ever oveftop
 The talented and virtuous of the land The scum is found to bubble up,
 And float upon the surface, where the hand Of power may grasp t-'tis bitter cup,
 But we must drink it--for upon the sand Is ever built that popularity Which springs from honor, worth and probty.
