CLAY AND FRELINGHUYSEN.
"a NEW WING soNG.)
Tune" Picknickeny'
Sure such day, so pre-emnently glorious
Such day, as the first of May, before seem
The Wings in all their measures decidedly vcto-
rous,
Union Harmony, and firm Resolve, presiding DER the
Der Clay and Frelinghuysen, [scene-
The whole country is rejoicing s
From East to West, from North to South, the Wing
stock fast is rising.
The mighty ball is rolling on,
And gathering in its rolling;
Stand back, stand back, and clear the track,
Its force is past controlling.
Then raise the shout and raise the song for Clay and
Frelinghuysen,
And loud and long, the strain prolong to sunset from
sun rising.
We claim of Maine that she again, shall give Wing
majority,
New Hampshire by November next her letters will
have burst,
Vermonts Green Mountain gallant sons will give to
Clay priority,
heroes first
Rhode Island and Connecticut
Will join the good Wings, flock and fold;
The Empire State ,ue calculate will cut the Usage of
Lindenwold;'
The Jersey Blues will not refuse
Most gallantly to rally round
The flag where Henry Clay" 3 inscribed,
And Frelinghuysen's name is found.
Then raise the shout and raise the song for Clay and
Frelinghuysen--
Let echo strong, the strain prolong to sunset from
sun rising.
The Land of Penn will say " Amen!" and pour her
tens of thousands forth
Little Delaware will claim her share, and well will
play her part 4# 8
Brave Maryland will firmly stand, as friend of pa
triotic worth
Old Virginia will give her hand and with it give her
North Cardinals choice is Clay [heart-
The South is claimed by John Calhoun,
But we rather guess must confess she's friendly to
the "same old Coon;''
OF Georgia. we'll boldly say,
Defying contradiction,
Onth' election day she'll go for Clay,
Who denies this deals in fiction.
Then raise the Shout and raise the song for Clay and
Frelinghuysen,
And let them roll from pole to pole, like peas Of
thunder rising.
Alabamas vote, we'd have you note, will be thoroy
Mississippi, too, we tell to you, will walk in the
same track
Lousiana's vote for Clay will be laundering big one
look black.
We hope to find Arkansas jond
With Missouri firm and hearty,
Having found Van Burens case past curing, with the
great Wing party. 81
Kentucky's pride is Henry Clay
Who would not boast Of such son'
And Tennessee most firm will be,
Until the great Wing victorys won.
Then raise the shout, and raise the song, for Clay
and Frelinghuysen;
With flag unfurld let's show the world the friends
of freedom rising.
By thousand after thousand votes, Ohio will her wish
express, t.'
AS Queen of the West she'll do her best, the Son OF
the West to aid;
Indiana will act CALAMITY, and forward all her power
she'll press,
II will CHI for VIII Our hammer
displayed
And never young Michigan
Refuse to join our party;
To none but Clay she'll give her vote and give it fret
and hearty.
You little Van, and all your clan,
And you, bold Captain Tyler,
If you persevere against our man,
You each will 6 burst your biIer 70
Then raise the shout and raise the song for Clay
