SECESSION RESULTS VS.. THE UNION

In southern cline, where negroes shine,'-
And cotton bales are plenty;
Where men are fierce, and money scarce,
And wharfs and harhors empty.
Where men and boys are fall of noise,
Who boast of theft and treason,
Defy the law, and talk of war,
Devoid of Wit or reason;
Such men of might SO fall of fight,
Who seem chuck full of thunder;
Keep all they get, but pay no debt,
And save their strength for plunder.
Cunning and bold was one Of old;
He got a mess of pottage;
One rebel fair hung by the hair,
And he lost al his porridge.
One rebel "iroop was swallowed up"
Which caused a worldwide shouting;
The Southern crew we must subdue;
The world approves their routing.
They steal their arins-raise false alarms
Commence the war at Sumter;
They fire some sqlibs-tel many fibs,
Deceptions without number.
For if We think, and only wink,
They call it abolition;
Discard the North and only froth,
And that they call secession.
Thur cotton bales now take the rails
To Northern ports for shipping,
Where vessels sail by every gale,
And Yankees get good picking.
Our ships 20 full TO Johnny Bull,
And gold returns excessive,
We take the chink with nod and wink
Decidedly expressive.
We hold our grip, ard we will ship
King corn as well as cotton,
And keep our hold upon the gold
Where negroes are forgotten.
And now they groan about loan,
So palTy for a nation,
They can't relax their negro tax,
Nor dodge repudiation.
