so.g--.. There Is a Tai Hero,' sc

Tuae-s There an Old Niger, &c.
There is tall hero who is known as General Scott
And he makes grand military show,
But It's said in his head there's mighty soft spot,
Near the brain where the soft places grow
He has hung up his feathers and chapeau.
And has laid down his quiver and his bow,
And running for the president is tall General Scott
But he never can be president you know.
When the war first commenced with amigo Mexico
He was asked to direct its career
But he sat down and wrote to the Generalissimo.
ssi I'm afraid of a fire in my rear,
And have hung up my feathers and chapeau'
g And have laid down my culver and my bow
There is no more fighting for tall General Scott,
Yet he never can be president you know
But after he had taken hasty plate of soup,
And had drank off pint of old wine,
He thought of Rough and Ready and his volunteer troop
Who were fighting DER the Mexican line
Then he took down his feathers and chapeau,
And called for his war-steed Junot,
For said he General Taylor goes ahead of Gen. Scott,
AS perchance he for president may co.
He took from Rough and Ready all the troops ofhe line,
And he bore down upon Vera Cruz
And there with the army all the navy did combine
To carry out his mountaineering views.
Then he put on his feathers and chapeau,
And he mounted his war steed Junot,-
When that strong hold had fallen then thought Gen. Scott
ssTo be president have the best show"
For the fall of Vera General Scott gave the praise
To the force of his regular command
When the flags at the %Poin came to hand;
And there hung up the feathers and chapeau,
Along with the bucker and the bow,
All placed to the credit of the tall General Scott
Yet he never president you know.
Twas the troops of the line and the famed volunteers,
And their chiefs who there fought for renown,
Who all the battles while he got the cheers,
When the Mexcans all done brown.
Then he put his feathers and chapeau,
And bestrode his proud war steed Junot-
Then the LepeTos would hail the tall General Scott
6 Por ell Presidents General Schotto.''
Yet when they had fought him into Monezuma's Halls
He cat away the arch of his fame
He raised such breeze that it turned into squalls
Which blufed off his presidential game.
For Taylor without feathers or chapeau,
And without any grand martial show,
Was run for the office, then the tall General Scott
Was the picture of unmilitary woe.
But now he has arrived near the top of his bent,
Yet the wings have restored him in vain.
For their time and their money will be all msspent
At the fighting of the fall campaign,-
Then the talest fuss and feathers and chapeau
That ever any government could show,
Will be laid upon the shelf with the tall General Scott,
For he never can be president You know,
