when we first came to his house
but now, as the glory Of the Lord
has come the wrong way, we will
make the war-words of the man
Crittenden into law, SO that his
friends may 60 forth with us to do
battle against the noise in the
South"
So the friends of freedom made
the words of Crittenden into law,
and the words OF Crittenden were
to the effect, that the old Freedom,
the old Constitution, and the old
Union, should stand in peace and
in war.
And Abraham lifted up his voice
once more and said: "ITol ye peor
pie! Come! l want 100000 men
from the midst Of you to fight un,
der the banner of the words of the
man Crittenden. And no, ye peo-
pie! l want 7OO,0OO,OOO Of dollars
and some odd cents to pay the bills
with"
And the people SAID "All right p
So the drums beat in front of all
the Court Houses in the North
country, and the men came up and
signed their names, shouldered
arms and went to fight under the
banner of the old man Crittenden,
And the Secretary, Salmon p.
Chase, printed bushels Of paper mo-
ney to so great an extent that the
Secretary, Simon Cameron, and all,
the fat contractors laughed and PIT
their hands into other peoples
pockets. Then all was ready, and;
the people waited! rot
For somehow it was ordered that
the people should do all the pay
ing, the fighting, and the waiting.
But the friends of freedom in the
} Congress and in all the high places
got paid for waiting and could af-
y ford to wait. ..
u Now, all things being ready, and
y the 100000 men who loved the old
i freedom, being sworn into service.
to fight according to the warwords
of Crittenden, and the money being
, prin led, but not all stolen yet by
the friends Of freedom in Congress
said GO to- We bave enough
.. .. Now we shall see 'the glory of the
Lord for we will cry aloud and
spare not against the 'old Freedom
: : and will establish the new freedom'
so that all cOlOrS shall be free and
all trammels removed, as unto that
end we have elected Abraham, al
belt we have stolen enough from
) the people already to pay for the
1 glory and honor which we have,
, conferred upon the Union by ele-
1 vatinng Abraham from tho Prairc.
to the Presidency. But go to! Our
+ work is not yet done, the black man
e must be elevated also This thing,
e we can do, Tor have we not eleya-
!, ted Abraham, and are not all things
S possible with God if we help, him
n So the friends of freedom in the
d Congress wiped out the words of
d the man Crittenden from the law,
; and placed in their stead the words

And our great armies went, one

But when the friendly people in
