TIME Walk aEo1lg ,L0hk.n


Tune" Walk along John'
The Locos have man at last,
IT'S rot Van, nor Ills not Cass,
Their friends have all thrown off the yoke,
BIS And staked their pile on James K. Polk.
So its walk along John, you can't stay,
So its walk along John, you capt stay,
So it's walk along John, you cant stay,
For the peoples choice is Henry Clay.
Oh! Matty your q used up man,
To come Matty, you never can;
Poor fellow they put in your wheel spoke,
That goes by the name Of James X. Polk.
..ar-e So it's, walk along John, &c. d,
Then they have one Lewis Cass,
Who tried it hard, but could not pass
!, And as for our old friend Tecumseh, ss
He's lost amidst the rumpsy dumpsy.
So its walk along John, &c.
There's Stewart cannot come at all.
av And Bucks kept qniet in the stall;
The Locos are uncertain folk, sa
They've knock down all and set up Polk.
PR Y So it's walk along John, &c.
And then there Y, i was 4 John C. Calhoun,
z - Who thought that he could swallowa Coon;
But he's found out it is no joke,
And left in the rear by James K. Polk.
4. Fl. So its walk along John &C.
So now they're fairly on the course:
With broken down Governor Tor their
W. .hnL he'll have some need Of hay,
Is When he meets that chap called Harry Clay.
-. So it's walk along John, &c.
Tbs old horse Harry cannot be beat,
or this we surely bet treat; fs Il
Though Captain, Tyler says he'l run,
Old Harry will beat them every one.
SO It's walk along John, &C.
You'd better take your Polk away,
Or we will cover him DER with Clay;
The Cons win never stop or balk, ] .iG
But eat up berries, Polk, and stalk.
So its get along John, DC.

A SONG.
AM" Get dlorg home, Yaller Gals"
The Locos held grand Convention,
And in it there was much contention;
Some wanted Cass, and others Van,
To ruin against Kentucky's man,
,rns-G Get along home, old Governor Polk,
For your strength Il fast declining
You are too weak with Clay to cope,
You'd better be resigning.,
In vain. they tried to ,nqminate,
The "lttle man" of New York State
Who was defeated, we AN knew,
BY Harrison, the brave and true.
,lG Get'along home, &c. ifas''
Then up comes Cass Of Michigan,
Some thought he'd do as well az Van;
All knew he was plant tool
But, how ,rescind the, "two-thrd rule !"
Get along home, &c. .,4. s.~s..
And when they found that Cass or Van,
Could not be chosen in I. Tin Pam"
Some one proposed the name Of Polk,
AS fitted best TO bear the yoke.
" ,9t Get along home, &c. Y 'a'iss
Now we ali know this nominee,
IL IIOUl tuC 0LdtC Vi ICtluco0CCp
! The land where lives the veteran sage,
The "Heroi Of the Hermitage"
III Get along home, &c, Ii. yia,l
Yet he is doomed to lose the day 8
For with our principles and Clay,
Well march against old Governor Polk,
And make him feel our mighty stroke.
sra 9 Get along home, &c. IT i9 '1s' .sfF
The Locos did not cease TO fight,
Until they nominated Wright s@4a
Against the tcketsnow comprising, 3
Honest Clay and Frelnghuysen.
Get along home, &c.
Wright was a man Of too much sense.
To think that any confidence
Would ever more be, placed in men
Who had deceived good Martin Van.
' Get along hone' sc.
Then wisely he made up his mind
The profer'd honor was declined
For well he knew Clay stock was rising.
{ And with ii that ofFfelinghuysen.
Get along home, &c:
Then 10 secure the " keystone State,'
From it they chose their candidate
A Texas man, unknownto fame,
George M. Dallas 10 his name.
s ! Get along home, &c. ssa Faa g
Though some have said that Folks rank pi
To Henry Clay and Frelipghuysen; (zen
Yet with our principles SO true,
Well rout George Dallas, and Polk, too.
cs Get along home old Governor Polk,
bal d For your strengthsis fast declining
You are too weak with Clay to cope,
You'd better be resigning.
