The opening off recent great campaign
BY Wings took place at Baltimore:

We held The LONE STAR glitierng in the breeze.

Democracy for the largest libehv is bent,
Let US have Oregon, they say, and atit went
And this vast territory of The West
BY Britain proud shall soon no tnorehe pressd.
The plains Of Oregon that fertile spot,
There freedoms voice shall sound nor be forgot;

IN homes most peaceful maythey ever sit,
Secure from all the storms and ills oflfe,
Enjoying every blessing without strife.
Now patrons kind, my yarn is ended,
With Il, irns none are offended;
May Heavens blessihGupon all descend,
And unalloyed remain unlo'the end
