ifhis risnds raise and apply the funda he suggests
At tie close 81 has admirable letter. that he wprove
foemidahls rival to the Hero Of Buena Vista:
They say tie quarreps settled now for my part rve
soms doubt ont,
Twin take more ash-skin than folks think to take
the rifle clean ont ont;
At any rate, Pm 80 used can't do more 6ghtin,
The only chance that's left to is politics, or writin
Now a. the peoples got to have milingtary man,
And saint nothin else jest now I've hit upon plan;
The candidatin' line, you know, would suit me toa +
And ef lose 'twunt hurt my ears to lodge another
fea;
70 Ri set up as candidate for any kind ofoffce,
Il mean for any that includes good easy cheers and
sofies,
For a. to runnin for place where works the time
Of day,
You know that's what never did--except the other
w,y)
Fl t's the Presidential cheer fer which pd better
What two legs anywhere's about could keep up with
my one?
There Amt kind o quality in candidates. 'tis said
So useful as wooden leg-except wooden head
There's nothin Amt SO poppylar-{why it's pcrfec
To think what Mexico has paid for Sanity Amy.
Then haint no principles, and sence was knee
high,

Pm decided peace man, too, and go agin the war
For now the whole on'ps gone and past, what i.

Fl while your lectioneerin round, some Gurus chap,

To know my views of State affairs, jest answer

Efthey amt satisfied with that and kind o. pry ant

And for suthin deynet jest say eye put out!
That kind o. talk guess you'll find III answer to

And when you're druv too nigh the wall, hold up m,

Ef they should nose round for pledge, put on
virtuous look,
And tell 'cm that's exactly what never gin or took
Then you can call me sTimbertoes,' that's what tn,
people likes,
Sntthin combinin morri truth with praises sech a

Then there are other good hooraws to dror on a.

Such As the oNE-EYED SLARrERER, the blood
Birdcfreedum;
Them's what takes hold of folks that think as vel
as of the masses,
And makes sartin o. the aid O. rood men of al

There's one thing Pm in doubt about; in order Il
be President
IT'S absolutely necessary to be Southern resident
The Constitution settles that, and also that Teller

Now hain't no objections agin particular climes
Nor agin ownin any thin except the truth some
times,)
But as haint capital up there among you,may be
You might raise funds enough for me to buy low
priced baby,
And then to suit the Northern folks who feel obleeg
