Boon's Lick times. [volume] (Fayette, Mo.) 1840-1848, 1840-11-14

B Mordeca and Sam. H. Blake, ..
All must soon the journey take.
Those who wish for power supreme
Must go up the cold salt stream. .5-
Mordeca, within the gate,
There must for promotion wait,
Till the Dooer Tory Band
Drive the Wings forth from the land.
Then he may return again,
AID Ger Dover Tories reign. ..
Uncle ZEKE and Captain 10
Soon must up the river 60,
And in boatne,i'S garments dre5s'd,
Take passage with the rest;
But the SaeriF will not hear
Shannols thunder ioaring there.
Long they've boosted, long they've bragg
Rulers have the people gagged;
But the patriots Of our State
Have aroused themselves of late
Aud their voice the Torres hear,
Bidding them up river steer.
Eril Spirits there they'll find,
Who in Maine have led thu blind,
Prompting men to sell their votes;
Now they're forced to take their boats,
p Aud To stem the current salt -.....
Till they find place to halt.
But the Tory crew Of Maine
WAL not long alone remain;
Marlin soon must leave his throne,
Down he'll come, but not alone;
All his office holding crew
Must go up Salt River too.
Ponsett, with his army bill,
Frame against the peoples will,
Cataline and Benton too,
Soon must join the long.faced crew.
Duncan, with those friends so dear,
Up Salt River soon must steer.
Amos 100 must leaveh is place.
Flli'd by him with much disgrace;
Since he left salary large,
NOU to make All EXTRA CHARGE,
And, some like the tanners boar,
Had enough, yet squrald for more,
Van will soon up river look, =
Take the route by Undertook,
And his cabbage. garden clear,
To sustain his rev next year,
Those who Treasury pap did share,
Sour crout now must be their fare.
A their spells Of leaves and fishes
They have us'd, and lick d the dishes;
Tho we've almost stopp'd their fun,
Some may yet like Swanwout run,
Who the peoples money stole,
Run away and kept the whole.
Office. seeker SLY and arch
Soon must step the Tories march,
Forward move. though very slow,
Striving with one hand to row
They will need The other paw
To support their under jaw.
Democrats dy'd in the wool
Must al rowing take one pull
If their boat should overset,
Pure democracy get wet,
Those who thought their colors fast
Must look very pale at last.
When they have up river got,
Will they then believe or not!
Will they then the truth deny
Say It's all '.tederdi lie? ..
Will those blnckheads then declare
FEDERAL hunbugs drove them there!
Or will they The truth confess,
Honestly their minds express;
Say, Republicans arouse,
Federal Locos 10 oppose.
When TO as defeat was clear,
Up alt RIVER we did steer.
Up Salt River nothing grows
Pleasant 10 the mouth or nose;
But the Dutchnan's sour cGout
Must he used by them throughout.
Some who on the spols did thrive
There will hardly keep alive.
Old King Martins loyal robe,
KendalI'S lying Extra Globe,
Both must be preserved with care,
They will Soou be wanted there,
But Republicans despise
Royal robes aud extra lies.
Yet old Amos being poor,
Must employment have once more;
This none ol his friends deny,
Since they love 10 hear him lie; r- .
And ] wall predict one thing
Van will he Salt Riner King.
BARRIERS there will make their jack,
Money they will never lack;
They will make an e1ird charge
Where the face is long or large.
Locos in Salt River Town
Have their faces heightened down.
Amos will the Locos rob,
Do their lying by the job.
And Tor extra bills will call,
To support his children small.
They think wilLnor soon hear
3 Wing artillery roaring near.
Where will Lrcos rule again,
q In the place Of better menl
Fill the place where once they sat,
And again on spoilS grow lal3
When will they down river steer,
And no opposition lear! ar-
When Whig principles shall cease;
- Whfn corruption shall incredsr:
When Columbia sons grow slack;
When fom dufy they turn back -
