THE REASON WHY.

Il Z
Nov tell me father, why men shout
So loud for HARRISON?
In ev.ry crowd-in every street
They only speak OF one! y
,Tis long tale to tell, my son.
You'll hardly understand
Bad, wicked men, are now in pow'r,
4 curse DER all the land.
Now these bad men, we want to send
Hack to their homes away,
And that is uhy you hear US call
N For HARRisoN all day.
But, father, dear is HARRISON
Quite certain not to do,
AS these bad wicked men have done,
So hated now, by you9
NV son, We Judge what men will do
By what they've done before,
And ey'ry time we find them true
q! We trust them more and moro.
Now this great man, whose name you hen'
PROCLAIMED by cy'ry one,
Has welded pow'r almost as great
AS many Kings have done;
And vet he nev'r swerv'd hair,
From honor's strictest laws;
He thought it recompensc enough
10 Gght in freedoms cause
And many times his life he risk'd
Upon the battlefield,
And though the foe oft press'd him close,
He meier was known to yield.
So now, my child you see why men,
Do shout for .FREEnoM's Son.
And why they'll never leave tile fight
They nobly have begun,
Till victory's banner wavcs supreme.
Human FOR HARRISON r. G. IL.
