Our noble J. X. p, so bland,
Says he Ill go TO the Rio Grande;
But Mrs. p she wouldn't let him,
For fear the Mexicans might get him.
But Gen. Cass at glory's call, sir,
Never thought of going at all. sir.
Marcy thought that Scott's big gun
Would shade the laurels Taylor won;
OfScott his boss soon got afraid,
And batch Of carpet Majors made.
But Cass would lie 'er have made him lea
lous,
Like some Of those glory seeking fellows
In prudence, ca SIS way abounds-
To hold with the hare and run with the
hounds;
Soft soap the North-vote with the South,
And blow hot and cold with the same old
mouth.
Dixie weather wane, no will OF its own,
Ii turns which ever way It's blown.
The White House will be cleared Of Polk,
And another tenant soon bespoke;
And Uncle Sam is thinking mighty,
He'll find stable for old Whitley.
But where will Cass be oil that day, sir
Up Salt river and far away, sir.
The nation now the man has picked
The man that never has been licked
And tits i'm vain his march TO clog,
With Mexican or demagogue.
He bears alofta conquering banner,
In spite of Cass or Santa Anna.

Once on time upon the Lake,
The British made poor Hull 10 quake
Who struck his sword into stump
And proved himself genuine trump?
Why il was Cass il remember,
But Zach was not al Hulls surrender.
The Mexicans in all their glory,
Crossed over into our territory,
But on the 9Th and 9th of May
They turned their tails and streaked away.
Old Zach was there with his fearless band
sir,
To scatter the foe on the Rio Grande, sir.
And when we took those far famed towers,
And stood the storm of fire for hours,
Ger ditch, and mound, and wal,
Old Zach pushed on and led the ball.
Aud where was General Cass that day.

Why he was not at Monterey, sir.
With twenty thousand "Peg Leg" brags
He'd scare US and take all our flags
Who led the few but brave defenders?
Why twas Old Zach who never surrenders.
And where was Cass, ask you Mr.. 2
Why he was not at Buena Vista.
