,nh. 10 IN. TOP Of street railroad car, and after
,,yi,, tn. crowd and wPing away tear speaks thus
Friends. sueksrs, Democrats, lend me your ears:
I com. to bury Douglas, and to praise him.
tn. evil that men do, lives after thsmi
tn. GOOD is oft inferred with their bones;
81 l., it not be with Dug. The grey-haird Buck
Hath told you Douglas ambitOuI.
nj, were 50, il was grievous fault;
And rrieVOusly hath DOuglaI answered il.
Here, under leave of Old Buck and the rest,
FOR Old Buck is an bonoFabe man,
So his Cabinet all; all honorable men,
Come to speak at Douglas fun'ral.
n. was nv friend; tied to him;
But Buchanan, the old profaner,
Swept him down before my weeping eyes.
he hath fought many battles here and there,
And largely from the Fed'ral Treaty drsWi
Did this in Douglas ambitiOuIl
When poorer politicians went up the spout,
n. anisd to the last cent in his purse:
We, Davis Iiys he is ambitious;
And old jeff 10 honorable man.
You al did see that, down at ChsreIioh,
E'en thrice the White HouIs was within his grs'Pi
Yea on his finger end. But did he grab i'll
He didn't that; he want ambitious;
No, friends, he didn't, sure as yer born.
speak not to draw tears from Federal eyes;
know that would be a fruitless task.
Sat you who loved him and will weep with me,
Out with your wipers friends, and snort away. tPauEe
0, Judgment, thou art hed to british beasts,
And men have lost their reason!
You do not cry.
Why, look into the coffin there with Douglas;
TthIt don't make you weep, pray whit will
lH Dem MehiHks there is much in bis sayings.
q Dem. Ifthou consider rightly the matter,
Douslas hts had great wrong
2DM- Hark We, fellerS,
Lstu take out wipers and have cry.
RG Dsz. Let's further hear have seriOuS doubts:
Yes know, it may be, Dag. not Oimmycrat.
Pssk But yesterday, the word of Douglas might
Have stood against the world: lies he there,
And none poor to do him reverence.
o,hsavsns! i'll were disposed to stir
Your hearts and minds to mutiny and rage,
Ia tell you, Democrats, Of Secession wrong,
Which, you all know, is very damnabls.
III give them stont lurse-a Heenan left
Between the eyes, their daylight stop; and then
Leave you, with bigger iItI, to do the rest.
See here's parchment, with the seal Of DouglsI:
| found it ia bis closet, in the till.
Il sn the secret out completely,
(Which pardon me, explains his quick demiIe,l
And tells how Douglas, some four years ago,
Was hOney-faggled by these Southern men,
Who beggd hair from him for memory;
fs' when twari the White House his eyes he strained,
They turned upon him, and down in Baltimore
Did MP him M
tPaEss Federal ofes-holdsrs retire to take driHkl
PAsA If YOU have tears. prepare to shed than now.
foo all do know this platform; remember
The day and hour it adopted;
Twa' on Summers evening, way down South,
Mid aower perfume and Niger cries.
o. weeping friends, thought twas all right then,
And .elegraphd to Dug. that il so;
But, al! waI too hasty, gentlemen;
FOR ere the wires had tickd my message on,
Ths men who FIRE from the hall did bolt;
Aud rushing out Of DOORS they did resolve
10 blow us sll unhapp1y up, you see;
AAd a. you know, they skeersd New York clear out he
boots.
!ads' o. ye gods. how badly this Pugh was hurt!
Ihai wa the unkiadsst cut Of all;
1o' Nhen we tried TO fl the matter up,
worse did grow, and when adjourn We did,
S'" 'Saa'hed were then burst his mighty heart;
ana amer two days blow within the Senate,
ana hard old time at Baltimore,
f'fced BY are-ealing wounds, great Dougias FELL
W what fan Wa there, my eountrymsn,
tSf d and you, and all Of q, DO know,
Inc hand be early licked did give the blov.
I0O DO not weep ali! perceive you are
nea'hsa' like the rest; you will nor worship bones
OOO '0' you an When DOuElaI was going up YOU wor
'npPed him; but now he'I done for hi, wound, M,
