THE 0RGIA WING SONG.

Me'srs. Editors The following song was COM
posed by Major lsnAM THOMPSON, of Augusta,
Georgia, and has become the popular Whip di,,y
Of that region. The inciden. which inspired this
effort OF the Wing muse, and which will be found
embalmed like a fly in amber in one of the verses,
was as follows: The Locos, during a mass meet
my IN Augusta, to which they had invited the
democracy of Charleston, S. c., attempted to
raise an immense hickory pole in the city square,
and made splendid failure of it, tho pole break
ing in two amidst the long faces of the Polka,s
and the chucklings of the surrounding Coons.-
The great popularity of the song at the late York
Town Convention, and the desire expressed by
many to possess it, induce the present oiler of il,
