The New York herald., 1862-02-04

Can be claimed for your thioving and cowariy race.
Than TO tell they were valiant in stealing hen
But in confusi from the presence OF men,
When at last your Grand Army was forced to light,
They routed. defeated aad driven in light,
Oyerwhelm with confusion from the plains OF Manassas,
Like a miserable pack of terrified asses.
Vast for this abored with vigillnt toll,
To tares Of contention all over your sos-
To build up your party with lying preensions,
With demagogue tricks and Chicago Conventionss
II this is the fruit of my labor and zeal,
] am sure | deserve the rcmorse that feel,
For becoming the tool
OF shallow Drained fool,
With tho form Of an ape and the head OF calf
II is sowing the whirlwind and reaping the chah."
fWhat say you TO thisy' cried Old Nick, waxing hot
Quoth President Lincoln, ''You ask General Scott"
"Old Scott's an old ass, and Seward TO boot;
And as for your sell, you're pitiful brute,
Too mean to let live, and too worthless to shoot
But to come to the point more directly in hand,
Allow more IN good faith to deman1
The grounds of this pitiful, vile procls.. nation
For fasting and prayer by the ws.oe Yankee nation.
DO you think that Jehova. will favor your cause,
While you murder, sra steal, ana violate lawsf
Will your prayers be heard when you ask the Eternal
For help 10 accomplish your objects nfernaR
NO; TINS var, like YOURSELF Is begotten in Sin,
And lose il or win,
You must now begin
To fight with the spirit of .,eventy-six
And abandon your pitiful Yankee tricks
Quoth "Honest Old Abe '"Im in a very bad -
sYou are right now - said Old Nick with grin
'But such are the fruits OF transgrossion and SIM
Then where lies the blame? Not with me, am sure
You made the disease: you must seek for the cure.
And now, in conclusion your attention call
(As he SPOKE the hot tears flush to his cyes.)
'.IheGospel has made mo- the father Of lios'
Ahi the rt cord is true. From the very beginning
have tutored the world in lying and SHINING;
But it S irs up my soul with grief and yexation
To see your abominable Yankee nation
0utst, ppng me far ia the depths OF its shame
And heapng reproach on my Kingdom aud name.
Eve one word 10 add; ii terrible ono
lhe race of your treachery is almost run
Your political sky looks dark and dun
The fate clouds are gathering o'er your setting sun
You have ruined your naton-degraded its name
And hurled on its people heritage OF shame
You have murdered its glory and pride at blow,
And filled its proud cities with wailing and woe.
The avenger is coming. Ger your dark future path,
is broodiug storm Of terrible wrath.
The wrongs OF oppression, the blood Of the slain
rhc pleadngs of widows for their lost ones again.
The cries Of the poor, all starving for bread
The curse Of the nation, overwhelming with dread,
Shall break like avalanche full your head.
Then to the day when Beauregard comes
W it'll his fiery legions from their Southern homes
When the OF their guns shall l you with fright,
And the flash Of their sabros shall geam on your sight
All then shall you sink to merciless tomb,
And the shouts Of their triumph shall herald your DOOM
Your fate is now writ by the hand on the wall
Oer your house the sand the bleak tempest shall fall
And sweep you away in its ruins to hell
have flushed my mission. Farewell-farewellv ~
Thus sal yng, he left in moment OF time,
And wound up his speech where wind up my rhyme
Ho left General Scott in passion and worry
Old abe in ut, and his wife in furry
