SONG OF ABE's NEPHEWs.



Our tard is ready, true and tfeid
Our leader, frank and bold;
The Douglas tCries trnible,
When Lincoln's uame is told.
We tight for homes aud irrclum,
That all men may be free:
And know the foe against us,
As seamen know The STA.
We know the little Dodger well,
His "PRiNcirLIs" is gas,
He crawis around the subject,
Lake nn adder in the grass
Wo to the Douglas tories
That little dread us urar
On them shall In November GgLt
A strange aud sudden fear.
When weking 10 their brave defeat
Sume try to hide their pain,
And those who put a bold iaco on,
Confess 'us all in vain
While some win say there surely was,
A mighty host behind,
We heard The tramp Of thousands,
Upon the hollow Wind.
Then sweet the hour that brings release
From speeches nud turmoil:
We count the ba lots over,
And revoe in the spoil.
The Union rings with laugh and shout,
As ifa hunt wtre up,
And woodland flowers are gathered
To crown the heroes cup
With merry song, We dig the grave,
Aud lay beneath the trees,
The little Dodgers thimble rig,
To sleep there ut its ease.
Well knows the Goddess Liberty,
The band that Lincoln leads;
The glitter ftheir virtues.
Their true and simple ctoeds.
'Tis lite our ship Of state to guide
With helm OF stauneh old rails;
lis life to feel the son winds,
That press the swelling sails.
A mUrnent IN the Douglas camp,
To notice his dismuy,
Then onward To the White House,
To 0Lchur many day.
Crave men there are in Seneca,
Grave men with huary hairs,
Their hearts are all with Lincoln;
For Lincoln are their prayers.
Aud lovely ladies greet our hand,
ilh kindliest welcoming,
With smiles like those Of summer.
And checks likU thoso OF spring
For them we keep our helmets firm
And take th,m oil no murc,
Iill We have driven Slavery,
For ever from out shore.
