The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1844-01-06

That business all revives again"
That Southern tory Caaline,
Who would the Union rend in twain,
Sings ont "Free Trade" let British goods
Come rushing to our ports in floods
Be not cent of duty laid
BE "Uncle Sans" expenses paid
BY Direct Tar-hear it ye North,
ia clolhe my negroes cheap henceforth;
Wh, should | care single groat,
II every Northern mill should rot
know twill thousands idle throw,
And make all workmens wages low,
Their children loud will cry for bread,
But what of that-give us free trade''
les! yes!' the bald pate Ouch fox cries,
SIN in for free trade to the eyes,
That Is when Pm down South mean,
For at the North I'm not 50 green-
There Pm for manufacturers strong.
In speech, in chit-cha, and in song;
They call me foe, but Pm quite sure,
Chameleon would be something truer-
Northern man with Southern views,
change my hue when e'er choose;
In Lowell can Cotton spin,
Can s"op tn wax end in Lynn,
negro whip in Georgia hold
BE IN the west hunter bold,
Could wear abroad in Pennsylvany,
"Sfad belly' as well any,
"Frlend' in peace-in ma ,r-
Could kill Tecumseh a wager;
And in a ball no dancing master
Can bow, or scrape, caper faster;
In "god spoon' exercise stand,
Without rival in the land,
My "patent' great sub-iredsury chest,
VI all inventions is the best
But why go with this rehearsal
My genius sure is universal"
Thus Mauy mused and opine
tie was near rig ut as not
For he has "over'd' Calane,
And backed Buchanan out
Though "Dickey" is warrior brave,
lie is '.out colon I'd" now,
And Central Cass, that sage grave,
MAY travel on lurlough.
The traitor fool who sits supine.
And holds the nations helm,
May "pack his ki,,' and strike line
For "Old Virg mas" realm.
The jockics have the "Fox' preferred,
And he the course take;
Curred aud sleek he waits the word,
To struggle for the stake.
Poor seed of Underwood next year again
lie mus. be spurred and whipped, and pan, in vain;
Vain is the struggle 'gainst "Kentucky Hall"
As well horse boat of the DIRK Canal,
Blinded with zeal, and pu6'd up with conceit,
Might with a steamer of the West compete.
Yea odd kentuck," who stands without peer
Shall leave him "dsanced,' far, far in the rear,
With gallant stride, shall DER the distance dash,
Then at his rival laugh, and "(ob the CASH.
Old FORTY THREE when back on .hee gaze,
Some things to mourn see-some to amaze
Some things to smile al, and to censure some;
And while reviewing lan would learn therefrom
Temperance movement bold and strong
Took place old year, when thou vert young.
Old sturdy BECK, first came and sung,
"Come sign the pledge, oh come along"
Next Wallace came with his lament,
or "prinled quilt,' and time ms-spent,
or crying ring wife,
Of a debauch'd and vagrant life.
How he did stagger, reel and wallow,
or which all know who drinking follow.
LEVIN next came with stirring eloquence,
And pointed the direfu consequence,
OF strayng in the drunkards lhorny path,
And reaping woe, and dire disease and DEATH
Night after night, thick crowds uprushing came,
Loud crying. "here, PlI join, take my name; "
Up, up they came, from the greyheared sucker,
Down to the urchn in his "bb and tuckero
The town had signed the pledge, ard sage and Ounce,
Swng the grog, had left off for the "norce;"
Landlords, poor sonls, their well-flled bottles eyeng,
Dropping tear, could not desist from crying,
"Oh DEAR oh plainly sec
Temperance Societies will ruin me-
But all change hath DER the dreamers come,
They've 'whee'd about" and gone to sucking rum,
Like the "washd SOW, !" back to the tnire they fly,
And walIowing there with natural guso lie.
or Cecil politics I've but word TO say
Although the ocos last did gain the day,
Next year poor Choppers votes will be cropp'd
Queen. for Pains unpaid, will then be dropp'd off,
lakeland, although horse of speedy pace,
Will then lakeland, on which to win the race
And harrassd Harris; will at home remain
True to herself. Old Cecil then again,
