THE BALTIMORE CONVENTION.
Tune-Nankee Doodle.

Good people all, both great and small,
OF every occupation,
l pray draw near and lend an ear
To this cur true relation.
The locos went with one intent.
Way down to Baltimore, sir,
To chose a man 20 lead their elan,
As Buck had cone before, sir.
Now Baltimore she had in store
Much whiskey that was bad, sir:
To drink the stuff WAS quite enough
To make a vhiteman sad, sir.
But locoS though they'd show Us what
The DOuglHsites could do. sir.
50 at 1t they went with that intent.
AJOb think they'll rue, sir.
Fort set them right into n fight.
As hard as they could dig, sir.
With fist and seull their friends to maui
And pull each Others wig. sir,
Ho, Ho, my boys don't make such noise.
Shouts Caleb from the stand, sir.
For all yen do is sure to 20
Right 10 the Lincoln band, sir.
Who'll tell our foes the way it goes,
For them it is but fun, sir,
And play such pranks within our ranks
They'll beat US two to one. sir.
But says the south, just hold your mouth,
Or else well break your mug" sir,
For Its quite clear we've not come here
To honor little Dug, sir.
But says the great old Keystone State,
IoU= troops they are away, sir,
And sure as sin they shan't come in
Till Douglas wins the dav, sir.
In HLov1.s+, +Lara r-,,, al G,.1,,a
'GaiHst Sqaatter-SovcreigRty, sir,
So without the hail you there may bawl,
But in you cannot be, siF.
If that's your game It's all tie same,
Says anti Douglas men, sir,
So delegates from twenty states
Withdrew the fighting elan, sir,
Says Caleb c., if you'll agree
To let me nov retire, sir,
I'll give nv rod to David Tod,
Perhaps twill soothe your ire, sir.
o yes, o yes! hurrah! hurrah!
LesOunded through the hall, sir;
Nell have fair play, and win the day,
If Dayie rolls the ball, sir,
Hard words and strife with them were rife
and vengence each would gain, sir,
They stroye away till close of day,
And broke themselves in twain, sir.
This may be wise in their own eyes,
But not with men of sense, sir,
For men of lore in DAYS of yore
Said wisdom is defense, sir.
Now all viii say this Is a day
OF Democratic fractions;
They're broken sure, beyond all cure;
Old Nick is in their actions.
And little Dug viii find his 'mug"
VIII be to him a loss, sir;
And Breckenridge viii find a bridge
That he can never cross, sir.
OF MIR. Bell, Oh who can tell
One word ofhim to sing, sir,
For It's quite plain he'll never gain
j. place within the ring, sir.
But Illinois sends OEt a boy
Who'll beat those factions, sure, sir;
And by his side shall Hamlin ride,
No Statesman is more pure, sir.
Such men as these Will raise a breeze,
Perhaps a great eclat, sir,
Three cheers we'll give, long may they live,
.Hurrah! hurrGh! hurrah. sir.

An UNFORTUNATE ILLUsTRATloN.-Pro-
fessOr c., of Bowdoin College, was noted
for having a certain set of illustrations from

running the risk of a blunder. In illus

he was wont to inform the class that a drop
placed on a dogs tongue was sufficient to
Kill him. On one occasion the class fled
into the recitation room, and the professor
commenced the exercise. Mr.. Smith, he
said, addressing a young mar whose chance
of gaining the valedictory was very slender.

powerful. or othcrwise?-Itis rather pow

STRONG INDUCENENTs.-A small boz
