MASSACHUSETTS MANHOOD.

The Protestant world must feel greatly relieved
after such demonstration-a demonstration so
highly creditable to the intelligence, the liberaty,
the justice, and the manhood of Massachusetts.
We feel better ourselves. We hope the expenses
of this Committee were duly looked to and paid.
Indeed, the Commonwealth might very freely, it
seems to Us, have found the Committee in tobacco
while engaged in this perilous and important busi
ness; likewise, three cents each, to be bestowed by
them on charitable objects, for we doubt not that
such men must be almoet strangled now and then
with the ovelfowings of the milk of human kind
ness. The brave are always generous and tender
hearted. But to tho "Farce for the doing up
Of which in such inimitaLle style, we make sure
the Committee renewed to Col. Greene Of the Post,
assurances Of their distinguished consideration:

Is this time for men to sit and gu1zlei
Rise up, forget your moneys worth and let
Dame Spitchcuck make q trihe on this meali
They wait without impatient of delay.
And tarry but for you. We are all here,
And with seventeen outsiders
Rare chaps and ripe for frolic. Just
To fill two 'bussesj one Of which will be
Surrendered up to smokers; but the other
Is for the Reverend Mr.. Whelpleys use,
And brethren of his kidney who are weak
of eye and stomach for such fumes.
Nsats We come! we come but tell me, are ye armed!
AIe We prepared to battle in the right?
Consider, that once within the walls
That grmly guard the precincts from without,
| Who knows What hideous perfs may await
Our venturous friends rushing they know not wherei
What snares and pitfalls there may be contrved
| BY Jesuit craft aud priestly fell device
| To battle These females may O'ermatch US
BY multitude and Amazonian force;
Bite scratch tear hair rend from our backs
Our very shirts, and with their bloody shreds
Compile base bandages To bind our hands!
| Then, at the word these shrekng Fures yell.
| Forth burst some raving Irish Caliban
1 To wreak the rage by reeking whisky fired.
Then We supne are one by one, in turn
Borne IN this monsters arms to caverns underground
To dungeons very dark and horrible,
| Wherein to vent our groans, until the doom
| Of each shall be awarded by the Pope.
Meantime they'd screw our thumbs,
| Prick with pins, make faces at US,
| Take tobacco and our jack -knifes,
And make US wreched even to that point
That should crave the Pope to kill US
| Right off or let us join his church,
Say, have ye mused these things, Orangepip!
O. WE'LL horse, have. rather guess. And so
Ye see since there be nineteen gals,
All told, while only seven,
I've gone and raised o stalwart set of men
To back up; and as twelve gals
Are less than fifteen years of age, Um told,)
guess we'll put the matter through as easy
As easy as the fellow knew his father.
Meats. Oh, Mr.. Orangepip, you do beat all bet
You'd lick the Grand inquistor himself
And learn him how to burn folks!
