Let the streets of Nashville be swept
clean of the filth left by the rebels, and
also Of that still more abominable moral
filth, the blatant rebel newsmongers, who
try to prop the falling fortunes of their
cause by sensation reports. We have all
had more than enough Of che lies of these
wretches. They must no longer polluto
the open air with their infectious breath.
II The devils must breathe let it be inside
