population,
To let loose upon us some thousands Of
'Sambos,'
And to favsr their masters with Just sueh

Fer, if st this bald farce they much longer do
play,
When Congress passes the bill, il,ercIl be
nothing to pay.
Our "darkics," well iniormd of all that is
doing.
With gladly with Abolition vile sch-mers
unite;
And should Congress perfect the plot thas is
brewing,
Will, ~hsn pay day comes round, keep well
out of sight,
So that masters, unable the corpus" to show,
Can grt none Of Governn,en. n,ouey. you

Thus our slaves, locomotive to suit che

Their plantation quar,ers' by order

When their masters att. mrt, by appeal and
pcrs,n,sion,
To get the poor pay to which Congress
consented,
VIII .l.rewdly and wisely keep out Of the way,

But should these cute pIottcrs mean merely to
keep

cipation,"
By talking to Bunoomb, from going to sleep
For the profit of knaves--but the loss Of tlie
nation
Then the p""pls who let such a silo p,o,
succeed
Deserve what they gct-are but green-ho-nx
indeed.
If we're Dictator fur year and day,
Iwou!d pack all Abolitionis.s off to Abomey
And Id ship oil the .'tarkic>," nolens volens,

Will teach their new friends beyond the

What = mess they are in, which too late they

Yes! I'd give these iIterme,idling knaves full
eccasisn
To taste the known fruits of a mixture of
races,
So that bitter experience should end in per-
suasion
That the wrong sort Of men Gil the wrong

That the I.Gvrjpys and Summers, Phillips.
