By E.s.
Americans, the brave, the free,
Your fathers fought for liberty;
Another battle has begun,
For truth, Fillmore and Donelson
The country's is our righteous cause,
Its constitution and its laws;
In such contest who will shun
To aid Fillmore and Donelson.
Our triumph none can doubt or fear,
While our professions are sincere;
Stand firmly then each father, son,
Support Fillmore and Donelson
By foreign nations we're menaced,
Who would delight to see disgraoed,
That purity and valor won,
To raise Fillmore and Donelson.
England when she has fixed the rest,
They say will regulate the West;
Come on, we want no better fun,
Under Fillmore and Donelson.
That famed Alliance which would rule,
Will find here no Sebastopol; VI"
They cannot forge or point gun,
To storm Fillmore and Donelson.
.. Domestic dangers too assail,
4 Each party striving to prevail;
Relief, or hope, alas! we've none,
Except Fillmore and Donelson
The Democrats have now agreed,
To put Buchanan in the lead
Douglas and Pierce, they say can't run,
Against Fillmore and Donelson.
Republicans you've made your choice,
And in Fremont you much rejoice;
But Mariposa by the ton,
Can't bribe Fillmore and Donelson
The North and South, tho each allied,
This glorious Union would divide
But never will that work be done,
While live Fillmore and Donelson
Americans, the free, the brave, ..5
This battle may your country save;
BE active then, let every one,
Proclaim Fillmore and Doneson.
