Which Gpruv involves political ta;e.
What means Ar. Lincoln, this strange proclamation,
In which yoG've invited tue whole Yankee nation
To fasting and prayer and 10 humiliation:
II strange hOw tArushng has altered your notions
And called In,o action your pious devotions;
L seems to NE YOUR whimsical set,
EveE twisting and turning, like eel in net
You FOUNDER aud tout,
And turn IN and turn out,
Till my wits Tuzzed know what you're about,
And now IN all caudUr must cali your attention
To the truths which present you'll allow to mention.
You know, in the Hrai place, you your election,
To the aid aud protection
OF Il dcmagogue who own my direction
invented your Platform, and gave ii sctdE
About nigecs and freedom and the great higher law
From the top o ihIs Platform Outstrechng below,
| showed you the Kingdoms whchI would 6estow,
Ii and your party would Only agree
To fall down i'll worship and hOmagt o me;
Obey my directions, uili my commands
Spread carnage and death over all these lands,
BY a horrible warfare, such would win
Success . my cause, and Il triumph SIN.
To all OF these terms you most promptly agreed,
And made them your grounds Of political creed.

Assisted by Greeley, and Bennett, and Weed,

In the bonds Of a happy iraterIal communion
:. By teIrJ!e warfare vt conquest and blood
Such as never known since the day of the food,
gave you my unnIuns from the purlIeuS of hell
The ranks Of your fearful Grand Army o swell

And set WITHDRAWING NaukeedOm all IN stew,
With ITS lSms aid scbIsms-tanaIIcal ITappings-

But alas. 10 your shame,
No victory came
But reproaCh and disgrace the whole Yankee name.
our armies went iOnh, but to the battle
They went forth 10 punder the fields of their cattle;
10 steal the young chickens and capture the hens,
lake William Come Irmble Toe ~ and put EN- in pen:
In the pages OF history, no lOtter place -
Gan be claimed for your thcving and cOwardIy race
1nan TO tell they were valiant IN stealing a hen,
But ran in confusion from the presence Of men
W hen III last your Grand Army was forced fight,
dhey were routed, defeated, and driven light
OverWheln with confusion the plains of Manassas
Like miserable pack Of terrified asses.
