The Highland weekly news. [volume] (Hillsborough [Hillsboro], Highland County, Ohio) 1853-1886, 1860-01-05


Determined both to never yioldi
But eight tm Europe, wet with g5ro,
Should bcgof them 20 fight omOroi
Lest all the nations of the world
I'm wars fell vortex should be hurdi
But soon their courage fairly ailoi,
And each before the other quailedi
So Jo and Louis got together
And with each other made fair weather,
But loft the weak italian States
Alone TO struggle with the Fntcs,
who show but very slight intention
To patronize that old invention
or making plows from rusty swords
or wrath appcoso by gentle words.
or fools 'tis said, their visual uerye8
The ar-On things Of earth obscro5i
Again then let us look at home,
And end this Trans Atlantic roam.
Who has not heard Of that fony
At uarpcr's Ferry tothcr day,
When twenty chaps, with their commander,
cold Brown, b" as brave as Alexander
Set out one morning, full Of irc,
To set Potomac on on dro2
WISE, hoaringsoon their vile intention,
Bcthought himself Of intcrycntiuni-
So, filled with patriotic zeal,
Both for his own and public wroli
Lifodhis voice with nasal twougi
So loud that through the State itrang,
In angry words, though itly sot
As follows now, ri-dc-li-cet'
"nIy friends, hear a dreadful drumming,
As though the sFreo Soil men were coming,
Their frantic yclls do sore amaze me,
BcdIam s broke loose, and all are crazyi
John Brown, with a Satanic band
Of mcaucst wholps I'm all the land,
The 'Old Dominion now bclcoguers
with fifteen wnitc men and five nggcBi-
Prophetic time has come 1 vote
When one can make a thousand trot Of,
And two ten thousand put to flight,
with scarce q show Of aught outright.
"If Samson, with a new jaw-bonei
Could slay a thousand men alone,
John Brown and this most vile banditu
Can sack and burn each gOodly city
Throughout Yirglnin's happy realm,
While I stand pilot at the helm.
Giddings and Chase join iu this buster
with ryolC that they can muster,
And all this fuss and all this pother,
That Old Virginia they may bother,
And break in twain the silhcn cord
That binds the uiggcr to his Iord.'
Thus spako the Governors and then
The slaycocrats all shout Amsnl
TO all the sequence Is we'll known
1t made a Martyr Of John Brown,
Made Harpor's Ferry classic ground,
Her heros head with chaplots boundi
But had John Brown consulted me,
should have said, "Jut let abe
Whore Slavery snow fixed fact
By sovereign Legislative act
Though wrong, another wrong won't right Il,
And you arc foolish If you hghtiti
Bind Slavery fast just where you finlit,
Then go away and never mind it,
Kind patrons of the HIGuLAND News,
Hold up your heads, shake on the "blucsi"
The writing now upon the wall
Foretclls 20 you the speedy fall
OF that strange party, so erratic,
Which is sclf-stylcd "Hie Democrdlic,"
Who so misuse thepower it given
Must soon itself from power be driven,
For faithlcss men thcirday may strut out
And be tomorrow fairly put outi
For all good men throughout the Union,
Are joining in Free Church communion,
To soon elect President,
Who, as the White House occupant,
VIII turn adriit those brawlingclvcs
Who care for naught but for themselves,
And then dismiss poOrJEEMEs BUUIANAN,
Because they've got better man In.
or an the goodly States that know,
What one can vic with our Ohio?
Nor can town like ours be found
In any other State aroundi
In Summer gay, in Winter CHEEKY,
And nothing in 1t dark or drcaryi
Some useful calling each man drives At,
By which he thinks that best he thrivcs at;
"a Model Town." all humbug minus, "

We've Lawy, rs, fun Of legal lore,

Merchants, Mechanics, all SO thriny,
Bankers and Tradors, wise and shiny,
Churches and Schools i-all the elite

gentleman or two of leisure.
but now, kind sirs, while tsts-a-trte,
My case On full / wish to state,
For We are told IN Holy Writ
What things are just, and true, and fti-
That the good man whose son asks bread,
A stone don't give him in its stead,
Nor ding a scorpion In his dish,
When humbly asking for q fish.
So when oURsELF our claim presents,
Don'tput us Oh with clumsy centsi
For you an see and full well know
The tirrsomo rounds have 20 60,
And how you smile to got the " NEWS"
At proper time, brim-hlll Of truths,
So fair withal, and neatly printed,
No labor on Ct has been stldicdi
For oyery Press, conducted right
Gives 20 the town ray Of Light
But void Of truth, to lying given,
The worst Of evils under Heayen
A QUARTER now trust you'u fling me,
tFor dimes, not praise these rhymes should bring
or two, or three perhaps you'll sholl out
Aud then for once my purse will swell QUIT
My New Year greeting over nov,
TN make toyou a gontoel bow
Safe am now from being bankrupt,
So cheeriully you an have plank'dupl
Your shadows may they ns'er diminish,
Unulllh's journey you shall hnishi
May Heaven protect you from an evil,
Win ever pray
