Delaware inquirer. (Wilmington, Del.) 1859-18??, 1859-07-02

What is vanity From whence eorrlnateY
Does 1t rive from laud, that meteors create
Does II grow from the iens, where scorpions stare
Or waste Of millions, from cells Of despair
whence comes yanityy The pompouB called great
As bipeds they swarm, in council, in stats.
Most rapid their grewth aud fair to the view,
But worthless lin fact1 fungus-ke crew
What Is vauity2 Ignorance and pride,
The curse of the nation the hypocrtes guide,
Aud grows In the dark, the damps of the night
Where erocodiles creep, or ground puppies light
What Is vanity with rich or with poor,
The queen on her throne, curey head slewer,
The addled-pate dandy, the cotton packed Weller
Exhibit the fact Of fortunes wild swell,
And thousands we see, tof every gradc,)
Exalted by chance-a wealthy man made
The death Of his sire, whose ill-gotten gain,
Is heired by the son, who, worthless aud vain
Now sports'on the spoils and deems himself great
A man Of the ton" though branlcss his pate;
national curse; ignorance and pride;
They ignore virtue in office they glide,
Profession the boon, a doctor, quack,
A scrivener, lawyer, political hack
More pompous, by far, nunkies Of late,
Than Andrew Jackson when chief magistrate;
The small and the great, by nature are crude
Unlettered, unearned, ar pompous and rude
But will recall, some things have said
Exceptions there are, crude nature has laid
Deep mines in the Earth, Of every class,
The diamond the gold, zinc copper and brass
FAUNA, crude, If SO may speak,
The vale or the plain, the mountains high peak
Are teeming with life the deer and the roe,-
The eagle, the owl, the bu1zard the crow,
And all kinds Of beast, with tloo legs and four
The asses to bray-the lions to roar
The white man, with hair, the blaekman with wool.
The gay neighing horse the believing bull
Scores scores, Of strange beass and monkeys Of blood
Reynard, the cunning, and bears Of the wood
And raceoons, forsooth, of cider renown,
o: all the knoion brutes, thes.wcat clown.
Thestrange bcast-bison' who ticks you 10 DEATH
His tongue thewoapon, depryine Of bRath,
serpent likewise, who brushes yonr frame
And shines with his tongue, engulphing the same
serpents and bison, are in this nation
Different in structure, different in station;
Wasting our substance, and treason teaching,
With willy tongue, disunion preaching.
The horse and the cow, the goat and the sheep,
For food and for raiment and labor we keep;
Herbverous, all, the earth grows their food
And sweetly they feed, in meadow, or waod
But carniverous brutes, who ruthlessly say,
The innocent lambs, or man, for their prey
Thrive, grow in the land, our docks they destroy.
Produce naught themselves; their aim, to decoy.
And vile beasts Of prey, infeet this good land,
Our rghtA.they usurp, our substance demand,
Conupting the Masses Ignorance deceive,
And claim to be friends, who, oppression reprieye,
Rugender dscord, the north, in the south,
IT'S treason they preach, the words OF thor mouth
Teen with disunion, unholy their schemes,
The hobby Of ALL two violent extremes.
Northern aggression, first rendered the glove,
vulture they sent and slaughtered the dove
And such is the fact, each record will prove,
Fanatic and tyrant, no power can soothe. J.e.
