HONEST ABRAHAM.

Tune" Washing Day.
'TIs well TO have the people meet,
And manifest their Joy,
BY singing songs and talking Of
"Old Abe" of Illinois,
lie is the only man, my boys,
OF all the candidates,
Who's fit TO be the President
OF these United States.
CHoRus-Iiurra, hurra, hurra, hurra,
For Honest Abraham;
Hurra, hurra, hurrs, hurra,
For he is just the man.
There's Breckenridge and Old John Bell,
And little "Stevy Dug;"
A motley crew, It's very true,
And each is humbug.
But ABRAHAM, the peoples choice,
Is honest, frank and true,
And he can beat them all at oace,
And he will 10 it, too.
CuoRus-IIurra, sc.
'Mong all the other candidates,
There's not one OF the three
Would raise his voice or hand to keep
Our territories free.
But "HoHcsT ABE" has always been,
And is the white mans friend,
And therefore does not wish the curse
OF slavery to extend.
CHoRUs-Hurra, &c.
Well send him up to Washington,
To dwell the next four years,
Which will no doubt make Democrats
Shed alligator tears"
And in that famed ''Salt river" they
Had better let them fall,
For up that melancholy stream
Wen send them one and all.

For Honest Abraham;

each member of Congress under the new
census. As the population Of Ohio is ,,
100000, she will get twenty members with
large unrepresented fraction. The State
will, therefore, lose one member.
The population of Michigan is 10000,
which will give her six members of Con-
grcss instead of four, as at present. Wis
consin will also get six: she has now three.
Iowa will be entitled to FIVE members, with
a chance for sixth. Indiana will proba-
bly, gain one member. She has now eleven.
Illinois will be entitled to thirteen MEM
bers, with fair chance for fourteen. She
has now nine.
Minnesota, whose population is $50, 900,
will lose member, and have, for the mex,
ten years, one instead of two Congressman !;
though today she has population enough
for two. The census is based on the mum
Der of inhabitants in the State on the FIRST
