WHEN THIS OLD HAT wAssNEW.

NEW EDrTIoN-BY SLAsHER q 90.
When this old hat was new, ,
Some twenty ears ago,
The Fed'ralisis began TO fear
A final overthrow -
And so to keep theirparfg up
And make it look less 9blue,"
They've changed their name dozen times
Since this old hat was new
When this old hat was hew,
Ere "patent wings" were made,
The Feds against the rights of man
Were openly arrayed-
But though they now deny the name,
As kuaves are wont to do,
Their doctrines leok just as they did
When this old hat was new.
When this old hat was new
The Feds. despIsed the poor
And blushed if they were caught within
A dirty "cabin" door !
The Democrats alone were fouhd
Among the toiing crew
Logs mere not rolled in ru6Fed shirts
When this old hat was new.
When this old hat was new
IT'S known that Harry Clay
Professed 10 be democrat,
Before he'went astraY,
And for the Secretary ship
Sold out to "Jobnny o.
The man he called ".rai,or black"
When this old hat was new
When this old bat was new
Gre Harry changed his coat.)
He Oft declared "no decent man
Would ever beg vote"!
But now he goes a-sIumpiDg round,
And "begs" the country through
IT'S very strange bow things have changed
Since this old hat was newI
When this old hat was new,
He ran for President,
But found too late that he was not
The man the people meant!
And now he'll find in spite of all
That cash and cUons can do,
The people think just as they did
When this old hat was new.
When this old hat was new,
JAMES K. POLK was the man
The people loved, although abused
By Harry and the Fed'ral clan;
A democrat unmoved, unchanged, ~
Still TO his country true-
He's ever been her friend and guard
Since this old hat was new.
