cr's-
And supped too, la Franchise, at Boulangers-
would have taken dinner with "the Captain
Had il not been for several weighty reasons,
The least of which would surely be sufficient -
One Of them is--rvc never been invited -
And then besides, you know, at tn extra session,
| We all agreed to cut the mans acquaintance
Issued a maniiesto-caed him
Abused him horriby--which, by the by,
q mention it to you, my friends, sub rosa)
Didn't appear to take, expected,
Among the soperegns $50, Of course, couldn't
As a stern, staunch unwayering steadfast Wing
A loyal follower Of our great Champion
So far commit myself to condescend
To exchange with him life's common courtesies.
But natheless, have lived, as it becomes
Your representative--fed high and kept myself
In glorious plight, high health, and sound digestion
| As it regards my public course-my speeches
| Are they not printed--sent by scores among you
I've spokcn--to my credit be it said
DE c,nets rebts Ell quibus dam ais-
I've spent considerable sums to print
And circulate my eloquent efusions-
: I've had them published in the country papers,
| For your enlightenment and sole behoof,
And paid the printers at their regular rate
| For advertisements-ls not this mark
/ OF patriotism worthy imitation
I've voted always as the caucus told me-
Never in any single instance swerved
From the strict line marked out by the stern fiat
| OF that imperous statesman--our great leader
Whose spirit never yet has ceased to rule
Our party in lis each and every action.
And, as know I've never yet once baked
| Or kick'd in the traces, | am confident
| The seeming inconsistency--th oddness
OF having sometimes voted, as have done,
Both ay and no upon the seli-same question
And what is stranger-spoke against and for it
As was the case last session on the Tariff,
The Distribution, and the Bankrupt laws
say, these seeming Inconsistencies
Can be most satisfactorily explained,
And should not be in judgment brought against me.
For, at caucus, every thing was fxd-
Each vote determined--all the points laid down
Even the very arguments suggested
Which each should use upon the fit occasion
And every man of us all toed the mark.
We trusted tina, with you, the sovereign People,
The simple fact, that Harry Clay wished it,
| Would Justify US fully in voting
Even against your dearest interests;
For is he not hea our chief-our keystone
And must he not be made President
And does it not behoove US all to give
! Our lives and souls politically for him.
/ l know your answer rely upon
Your love for him TO yield to me your pardon.
I IS TO the President this Capting Tyler
| (ro use the chaste and elegant soubriquet
/ Firs, prompted by classic brother, Botts,)
| Say, have ! not abused him can you find
A single speech Of mine wherein haven't
Lsther,d hum soundy called him traitor-ingrats-
\ s-Arnold-Aeeidency'
4 Have not voted gaiaS his every project
| Have | not voted for wha,e'er he hated
/ Have not stiiven with my best endeavors
| To send him every bill knew he'd veto'
Have not done whatever could be done
To make him odous in the peoples eyes
And thus prevent all chance of interference
With the aspirngs Of our great kentuckian'
/ What have left undone to show my hatred
| My spite-my malice-and my indignation
And was this not well done look with pride
On all these fierce outpourngs Of my wrath,
And doubt not they have been the fruitful source
OF many ,eepless nights and weary days
Unquet drains and bitter meditations
To their unhappy viciin-for, ! think,
He holds Of great account my good opinion
But must close I've given now the gia
OF all my dongs-'tis nj much in truth
For as you know, our vast and mighty projects
Have all been thwarted-so at least we say
And the grand total of three long sessions
OF this great Congress may be summed up, thus =
l Il md
pealed-
Resolved and re-resolved--and nothing done
\ Came hither with powerful majority
Depart,-it seems-the fragment Of faction
Len on the statute book no marks except
The evidence OF instability
Talked largely-loudly- about
Relief for our good friepds-the dear, dear people
And Ieft them in worse FIX than We found them
But then we foIo,-ed ord,rs-and hope,
As have shown such perfect willingness
To work at any thing however dirty,
So it subserved the interests Of our party,
You'll send me here again--endorse my conduct
Give me the catering seal Of your approval
And show the world you estimate arignt
The faithful service Of your humble servant
