I'll sing You a song, without any fam,
In Ashland there liveda funny old man,
Who every morning said IL am
The mighty chief of the Coonery Clan"
Ritoo, raoo. &c.
For several years this man was bent,
On being elected President
So in order TO give his feelings vent,
lie swore he would run, and at it he went

He mounted his nag one bright summers day,
And cracked his whip. with ''hurrah for Clay"
He secured along, and felt quite gay,
Till he found his old racer was running away.
Ri too, &c.
He rode along so joyful and crank,
While in his pocket his cash did clank
But soon off his nag he was jerked with yank,
AS he run upa stump on the National Bank,
Ri too, &c.
Old Dan he stood by, with hearty roar
He laughed till his sides were aching sore;
Which made poor Harry so mad he swore
He'd never be served such trick any more
Ri too, &c.
His high mettled racer lay in swoon,
But Henry could not give it up so SOON
Says he, will sing them different tune,
SO he swapped off his horse and mounted a coon
Ri too, &c.
lie scamped DER hill, and dale, and plain,
Thro' snow, hail, seet mud puddes and rain
And when so weary, TO rest he'd iain,
The coon gave scream and was off again
Ri too &c.
He galloped along with bound and hop,
OF speed he went at the utmost top;
His lips with terror began to drop,
For he found his coon he couldn't stop.
ri too, &c.
a cornfeld now so yellow and bright,
Appeared in view he tried to alight,
He called TO the coon with all his might
But in less than minute he was out of sight
Ri too, &c
He screamed aloud, "Oh We people dear:
Come help me off feel queer"
But the naughty coon he pricked up his ear,
And scampered away like young reindeer.
Ri too, &c.
A Hickory tree now crossed their track,
All shag -barked around SO rugged and black,
They never paused but up it smack
Old Cooney strcaked. with Clay on his back
Ri too, SC
They run mp as high as they could go,
The wind with fury began to blow,
And as they waved there 70 and fro,
Poor Clay oh, dear he ooked-just so
Ri too, sc.
As they were buiEeting in the wind,
An eagle came-he looked and grinned
Says he, you varmint, enough you've sinned,
So the poor old coon he completely skinned,
Ri too, &c
The coon he died in wild despair,
Says the Eagle, "Od Harry, my boy, beware ~
Away he flew-but didn't we stare,
TO see Clay like Absalcrn, caught by the hair
Ri too, &c.
He died at last--but every night,
As the story goes--I tell it right
His skeleton all so ghastly and white
Rushes over the hills on a cooney sprite
Ri too, &c.
So Whiggies ALL come over soon,
And join our ranks or hear your doom,
For Just as sure as the rising of the moon,
You'll all have a ride on that ghost ofa coon
Ri too. &c.

A negro women hung herself, in New Or
leans, some time since. She attached rope
10 the balustrade of the stairs, threw herself of,
and died instantly.
Gals whose minds have something odd in EN-,
on seek relief by taking laudanum;
And after all, It's not surprlsn'
Forsaken gals should swallow pisin'.
