AIR" The old Granite State,
Oh what mighty gathering
In old Buffalo.
Ofthe frien ds of freedom
And the tilers of free soil.
Shout ye people, all together,
In old Buffalo
We're the friends of freedom,
And will sound it through the land
Wen not vote for Cas- or Taylor
In the old free States;
We're the sons of freemen,
And our motto is free soil
Oh the South begins to trsmbIe-
The old Slave States
For the friends of freedom
Are gathering in the North.
They will shake like old Belshazaar Col Young,
In the old Slave States
For their days are numbered,
And tits written on the wall.
Heaven bless the brave barnburners
OF the old Empire State;
For their fires Of freedom
Are lighting up the land.
oh we pity the old hunkers
Yes, pity the old hunkers
Poor, broken hearted hunkers
OF the old Empire State;
They are going up Salt river
And they never will return.
And We bless the glorious Buckeyes
OF old Ohio.
Victory is certain,
For the praries all on ere.
And the old wing paty's rotten;
Yes the old wing party's rotten,
All that's left is damaged cotton.

But the fires burning,
Freeeoms fires burning,
Freedoms fires are burning.
And will soon clear up free soil
Now. three cheers altogether;
Shout, ye people loud and ever tIu.
Freemens hearts cannot sever,

found himself now laborpg under disability from
hoarseness having pitched his voice too high; and,
therefore, he would not detan them but short time

to say that 1t had been running and flowing
since. The current had not diminished, but contnu

been Leard that morning, and he sure they would
not consider 1t presumption in any one to make few
