AIR" Yankee Doodle"
Ebo shin" and "gizzard foot"
"Christless, /" t" goddess /" lousy"
And such like names ara now applied
To the Know Nothing party.
Our fathers dwelt upon this soil
The ancient " Yankee Doodles,"
And spilled their blood at Bunker's Hin.
At tLexingtou and Concord.
Great Britain tried, with all her might,
To take the country from them,
And sent her red coats here to fight
To worry and oppress them,
And all because they would not pay
tax upon stamped paper;
Nor drink their tea, sent duty free
Across tn Atlantic Ocean.
Our fathers were Know Nothings then,
AS now are their descendants,
The sword yields to the mightier pen
God and our cause, defend US.
Our fathers prayed to God alone,
As in his Word directed,
Who only can for sin atone.
And were by Him protected.
And we in humble confidence.
Will follow their example;
We'll take the Bible for our guide
The warranty is ample
As our foreiathers did Of yore
We are determined to do;
Wen keep the land forever more
Free from the foreign crew, too.
The Pope of Rome may deal in bulls,
Or, II he likes, in mutton,
Or" mountsin oysters" gormandize-
'Tis said he is glutton.
The satellites'of franklin Pierce.
His Robespierre and Dantop,
Mast make bee line fast and 6erce
For Coventry or Canton.
Traitors and spies, the sinking whelps,
The scavengers of party,
Tho bloodhounds, will be made to yeip
Sing, Sing, ki-yi most hearty.
And the whole swarm of stinking Hes
That fatten on the rum Jug,
Will pierce the air with their shrill cries
Their graves are very deep-Dugl
The "Woolly Horse" amt worth dime
This side the Rocky Mountain:
Buchanan cannot come TO time
Their deeds amt worth recountin'.
But gentle reader, lend your ear,
We ask your kind attention,
Whilst We present our nominees,
The choice of our Convention
The Peoples choice--their candidate,
Who, spite of opposition,
Will nobly fill the chair Of State,
And Danish all oppression.
The good, the wise, the great FILLAonR,
Beloved by oil who know him,
And AadreaD Jackson Donelson,
Our gallant stand bearers.
High DER their heads the nations Gag
Shall wave her starry folds,
While from ten million throats shall barst
The shout Of victory. a.s
The name Of FILLsoRK Is q charm
Wherever it is spoken;
Like oil upon the troubPd wave,
u II stills the wild commotion.
The name of FILLMORE is q light.
A beacon to the nation
light that shines as pure, as bright
The noblest in creation.
Where is the man in all the earth
Can boast fairer names
Is there man Of nobler birth!
Or more enduring fancy
He has been tried, and like pure gold,
From the refner's fire,
lie stands-a man Of mighty mould,
Whose destiny is "higheri"
And higher still, for when be dies,
His earthly mission ended,
His soul shall surely dwell with God,
With happy spirits blended.
This is the man, Americans
We've chosen TO rule DER us;
Who into peaceful paths will guide.
In danger, go before US.
Well, then, hurrsh for Fillmore-thrice
Thrice more for Millard Fillmore,
And Andrew Jackson Donelson,
Our gallant standard bearers!
