JANUARY |, 1917.
Kind and generous patrons, again am here. |
To wish YOU ALI happy and pleasant New
Year
And hope for my .thoughtfulness, YOU will
find leisure
To add few dimes 10 my now scanty treas
sure
Another year has just slept by us,
1t seems as if 'twere just to Try us;
Whether we'rc richer, wiser grayer,
Poorer, better, worse, or fairer,
Whether we're raising in our stirrups,
Or sinking with our couniry's whirlups;
Whether The party now that rule US,
Is just the sort that will not fool US,
Nor keep us in a sort Of quiver,
For fear they'll row us up Salt River:
Row on my boys, VOL keep you straight,
And wind you up in lorty>eight!
Ard then know, without bothe.,
You'll pull with US, and pull together.
Well ope' the eyes OF James X, Polk
Wen make him list TO wiser folk,
And not cheat the Pennsylvanians,
Nor the simple South Caroliniaus,
Who sported much, and raised a splatter,
About the Tariff and such matter,
Until Old Hickory granting no boon,
Swore he would hang John C. Calhoun.
Wen teach old Marcy without richos,
/ To mend his manners, and his brooches;
Sas Wrighl's confederation,
With clans aud cliqnes of every station,
Will then give up TO Wings Of grit,
| And stick to CLAY, nor ever split,
Or if they should, they'll cleave TO TAYLOR,
Or else to some old rusty sailor:
A change we must have, or we'll curse,
! Whether for better or for worse
A change we'll have, you may depend ont,
So democrats, this is the end ont.
'Old Rough and Ready am told
With volunteers, both stout and bold,
Are whaling every foe they meet,
In every plain, in every street;
And when they meet the RaAchero,
They drub him as at Palo Alto
At Resaca de la Palma too,
We scourged them with very few;
AT Monterey, they rode them rough shod,
And made them bite the dust and green sod,
And when they march 'gainsl San Louis
Po,osi,
You'll find that they viii make them sights

Cause SANTA -Hisna tiiIdfed- Polk,
1t does not follow that his joke
Can blind the wise. the brave and wiley,
Let it be offered ere so dryg:
Polk with his "pocket full Of rocks,
tCan't do as mach as Taylor's knocks;
Millions may fail to make them civil,
But give them goss, give them the devil;
r And sure as fate they all will cry so
Peccavi! peccavi! s'no me gusto."
7 What do you think of Po!k's great message.
Full of fight. and blood and gsrbage3
! He tells US how we came 10 fall out
:. Makes us complain, aud then bnVl out
'Gainst the Mexican aggressons
r On our commerce and possessions
How Santa Anna diddled him,
> And seems quite sorry that be fooled him
r Recommends the war with vigor,
r And treat all foreigners with rigor,
r Who sail under fraudulent papers,
= To cut our throats, and cut such capers.
. Again he urges at these times
To lire his pockets with our dimes;
,r Besides to borrow just as far
II, AS we can, to carry on the war;
As we'll further augmentation
~ OF the army, which he'll station,
- Scattered about foreign nation.
He finds the Tariff will not do,
o'r And wants 10 back on forty two
pr Holds on 10 the Sub Treasury2plan,
:. Although it grinds us TO man,
Ct Whether in times Of peace or war,
t., But then all know what's this all for;
b'r And gravely concludes from his high staff
b'r He's the wisest man in all the nation,
