WatertOWn Republican
To HIS PArR1oNs, JANUARY /, 1862
f KIND PATRONS, one and ALL once more
NEW YEAR greets us; as of yore
The rolling orbs, the ripping rill,
Benignant Harmonies reveal
Firm on the rail, in space immense,
The August Train of Worlds and Sense,
Sweeps on the road by Heaven decreed;
Nor missing time, nor failing need.
The Herald of the year, come
Usher of the REPUBLICAN!
Ahead of Telegraph and Mail, u
My weekly visits never fail
All that transpires to you l bring
Condensed, it's true. but just the thing!
The opening dawn of Sixty One.
Big with portents, had just begun,
! When Southern bluster, brass and ga
Foretold events of mark to pass.
| Diabolus, with travail seized,
| In vast ado fell on his knees;
And prayed his minions one and ALL
| Trot out this great Secession Ball ;
Break up our Union, Establish Slavery,
! And thus outdo their former bravery t
Old Buck they found plant tool
The greatest knaye, bat greater fool;
And all his abinet. forsooth! .i
| We're little less, to tell the truth.
When Sumter fell nation rushed 70 arms;
| The Stars and Stripes were menaced anew
! Then sturdy yeomen left their halftilled farms
| A million freemen to the rescue few.
The sons of Heroes, rather than be slaves,
On the Evangelists have sworn,
To dare and meet thousand cruel graves;
Or be in thousand piece-meal torn.
Great Red Dragon - army of Abaddon;
With big words swelling - 'gainst Gods laws
rebelling
Threat ming fire and slaughter, 'gainst each son
and daughter blue
| Tatterdemalion crew, breathing sulphureous
Libetty's shroud, devastating cloud
slop-bowl of the nation pesthouse ofcreation
Quintessence of evil, spawn of the ID;
Bogus democratic, comet-like, erratic
Good, only in profession, from every good, Sc
cession
A traitors doom awaits you all
A hempen cord, damnation' S pail,
The curse of God and Satan's thrall
Help these great knaves to felon-graves.
Before the year that's now begun,
Numbered shall be with Sixty One,
Every traitor will succumb - ...H
To Lincoln will say, "E PLURIBUs UNUM !"
Since cen the noon-day sun has been eclipsed,
And from dark hours seemed brighter than
before,
So Freedom Land by Traitors blood enrich'd !,
The Treason purged, shall be disgraced no
more.
Next, currency demands word
Our Banks became polluted
By deprecated Southern stocks,
Their issues rrora- -dil~tad--
Then, as the Doctors treat the blood
When once grown foul with humors,
Or fever drives the crimson food,
When drunken men in tremors
Agreeably to DR.. Allopathy,
The Banks were treated with Phlebotomy.

Came from the Hospital recuperated;
Prodigiously improved by the depression;
In ev'ry vein and nerve rejuvenated.
Ills thus with treason, since the world began !;
All wicked efforts to subvert the Laws,
Tend greatly to improve the gen'ral plan,
And re-establish Freedoms Holy Cause.
Oflate "Uncle Johnny /" as had been his custom,
Thot greatly to terrify our Union by bluster;
A "Tempest in Teapot" he tried in Boston -
The joke is too old, Johnny y it will not pass
muster
Tories of Watertown - if you'd promoted be,
Go the "whole hog" = then you'll win fame
Especially should the rebels triumph: If not,
your name
Like carrion will stink, and crowned you'll be,
With nettle-garlands, and leaves of Upas tree.
Irait,r's allies = why do you loiter here,
Like coward hounds, who fear the bear
Fly swift to arms, and join the pack
Who hunt for slaves - Go, find the track
Of jeff, and Breckenridge, and all
Who dance this black Secession Ball.
May hap, you'll be elected Corporal
bangle in air, from gallows swing,
And cause Amens," from all good men to ring.
Court not the fate of Arnold nor of Shay;
Let reason and manhood guide your way
Then will posterity do you honor,
And blot your names from Slavery's black
banner. @ -..s-.. r.-.- ..
Here's success to our patrons-(meaning all
aoho pay # ~
| May long life attend you. Strive for the goal
| Of true manhood = the perfect day of the soul.
May you see yourselves as others do
Do unto others as you would others to you;
Industry and frugality your Golfers fill
| And blessings on the needy your hands distill
NIB. If you've forgotten the "Quarter," .
| To gladden. my heart,
| IT'S never too late to mend bad matter
! And thus act the noblcr part.
