SECESSION.

Yes, wen secede, and break the lie
That's linked us long and ever;
For Northern foes have struggled long
The chain Of peace to sever.
Yes, we'll secede Fanatics proud shall
Reign o'cr us no longer;
For while we bear their scoffing words
Their tauntings will be stronger.
We know our rights, und keenly feel
That they are WORT, maintaining:
To vassalage wen ne'er crouch,
Nor bear a serve chaining.
Cardinals sons arc on the watch,
And ready, if tomorrow,
To fight her battles, Yankee boys,
And whip you to your sorrow.
You've had our ire stirred up long,
And we're now for kicking,
And If you'll meet us tete tefe,
You'll get desperate licking!
Think not that this is Dragging, boys,
Or any extra prating,
We mean to Let you feel the truth
Of what we're now relating.
You've stole from out our pockets oft
Without regurd to measure,
And still your anxious prayer is "givc,
Ogive us SOUTHERN TREAsURE.'
But by the God that rules on high,
We must forever sever;
The dye IS cast-the Unions gone,
THE UNIoN's GONE FOREVER.
