Oh, cooney, cooney Scott,
Come listen to my song,
You've played the 6 fuss and feathers - game
A little bit too long.
CHoRUs-Alas. poor cooney Scott,
IT'S too late in the days:
You never can be President
We hear the people say.
You think with Seward for your friend,
You nothing have to fear
But the North will fire into your front,
And the South into your rear.
With hat and feather, boots and spurs,
You cut mighty swell,
And when with Indignation fred
Strange stories you can tell.
The right of suffrage you'll put off
Twenty years such matter,
Or let the poor not vote at all,
lnclining to the latter.
Oh, cooney, cooney Scott,
Your diets sadly changed.
From roast beef down to hasty soup
Your stomach is deranged.
Your platform and your principles
Are like your higher law
1 he constitution it declares
Is bat thing Of straw.
To powder, g fuss and feathers
The God-like Dan must stoop,
Great intellect and craftsmanship
Are laid aside for soup.
The Compromise and Webster,
Upon the shelf you've laid,
And Willard Fillmore kicked the beam,
When in the balance weighed
Greedy upon the platform spits
. With wrath and indignation
Yet says unto the Southern Wings,
Stand by our nomination.
For forty years this government,
Has paid you lots of money,
And now Won would he President
The thing looks rather funny.
Then clear the track old boots and spurs,
You re making too much fuss;
That Herald letter caves you in,
Though signed ''Amerieus.
Come flap your wings and crow aloud,
Old cock-a-doodle -doo
Then beat the drum and muster up
Your abolition crew.
And when they make you President,
You'll eat soup with spoon,
From s. asty plate which you get,
Of the man that's in the moon.
The Empire boys are moving now
We cannot stop to talk;
Until we're sure that PIERCE and KING,

This old coon that looks so fat,
How often have slain,
And when think him dead and gone,
Then up he pops again!
Then fire away my Empire boys,

Remember how we laid him out
In eighteen forty-fou
Come Democrats and shout with u.s.
And make the welkin ring,
For the Union and the Compromise

Most MELANCHOLY and Shocking Accident.

Dr. Murdoch McNair. of Tippah, came to his
death, weeks since, in most singular and
shocking manner. 1t appears from the particulars
which have been kindly forwarded us by a friend,
that the Doctor went out hunting about 10 o'clock
in the morning of the day of his death and when he
was returning home in the afternoon, he discovered
something in sink hole, which common in the
section of country where he resided He immediate-
ly dismounted from his horse, and placed his gun
against log which was laying near by, as it is
iectured from the marks which subsequently
discovered about the place. 1t was also apparent
that he again re, mounted, and riding up TO the log
on which his gun was laying, he evidently stopped
down and took hold Of it by the muzzle and endeav-
orng to rest the breech upon the log in order 10 get
better hold it slipped Off broke of the hammers,
and the other went off and lodged the contents of the
barrel in his right breast setting his coat fire
and his horse wheeling suddenly round, he of course
fell to the ground. The unfortunate man, strug.
Cling it were, in the very jaws of death, succeed
ed in pulling off his coat and vest, and laying them
down, they consumed by fire. He also had
strength and presence of mind enough to unbuttor
