Whom thou hAd'st bettOr fAs bsoU In the pen !
Or CalabOoso built for Just such men,
Tn on that dIdst ask the eagles flight 10 stay
And perch upon thy ears and make thee bray
Thou that dldst pluck feather from her tail
To scatter vehoined spite as thick asbaIl--
Thou that ddst listen 10 her mcurnfu song,
How those who went To nght secesh we're wrong.
Thou thAlwould'St set our many WTopgs 70 right
lfvoten would spprOeiaH Fs bites, LIt.
To thee dedicate these humble rhymes,
Thou great enllghtener Of modern times.
He bites-ofcOurse he does, for tLars his name
Though yet hos only got b-SyiAg fame.
lie bites-and even 70 oils may know
That other jack asses can bite also.
But he will bite because his dearest pet
4. D. holds once In Fort lafayette.
Dire are the curses heapod on Abrsm'shesd
nd Governor Tod you might aS we'll DO dead.
For who can stand Hebiteb With ering scorn-
II beats Elijah making water burn.
What crime poor Olds committed none can tell
Excepting that he loved secesh too we'll.
what's battered sumter, Balls BIuG, or the rest
Compared TO putting him In that snug estf
Wbat'sburis6 THOUSANDS OF the brave tNorthmen--
They. cannot vote against Hebites again.J IS
What are all ihese; "Thsy are nothing sir at all
Compared TO keeping olds behind a wall. :
Oh, what heartrendihg scenes Of woe thre'ilbe .
lf Uncle Abe don't choose to set him froe.
Hebtes boasts loudly fthe vIcio ries won
BY men like Val who dare Tot face gun.
' The Copperheaded tribe a seribbler wrote
Brave fellows ali they staid at homo TO VOTE"
! No MOnuaF m thia Gfata awan M ha oil
The Union men were apswsrlng muster rolls.
"VRl Rlistbe peoples pst"-come down. Hsbltss,
A nd dopt indulge In quite such airy nights.
How 10 that when Val does make q speech,
Eggs rise in price with those who hear him prea,
How was II when he visited camp,
The patriot soldisn showed hlm bow to trampS
Poor Vallandigha m thought the usage rough
Peited with onions, eggs and refuse stuH.
They hung his efigy, and pity rwere
They didt dangle him with heels In air.
'' Wllsthe peoples pSt.' Yes, pettod by
The smooth-tongued Breckenridge Democracy.
! think there are no others that can claim
D The honor ofalliance with his name.
Your" glorious Val" will be our Governor
When Floyd is President, but no, before,
John Charles Fremont gets nts from brave Hebit
Yet while Hebites but brsys, this Frem ont fights
Notupoupapery not alone by words TlT
But where brave foeman meet nd cross heir swoI
Does Governor Tod's backbone your gizzard hu
!. Is that what makes your Indignation spirif
. orisit because tho Habens Corpusiaw
Canrjerk seceSh from under old Abel paw
HeoiieS look ON with horror when Abe dared ~
& To check tho law and show how traitors Jared.
u And went in spasms over ''cotte rs thateh"
Il Where En ngland's King 4Sre at even raise latch

~ No wonder that you squirm and twist so queer
r. When Lafaye holds friends 90 near apd dear,
i, And mind Hebites for those on mischief bent
Old Abe has still few more rooms 10 rent.
And Governor Tod whOm.yo you so much despise
u Might yet like Wise put specs upon his eyes.
" And ere the death Of power your yisonsaw u
Might even give Hebiles touch oflaw.
4 When you with SANDER rife btru,k out so cruel
Why did'dt youjust aim shot at Buellf
Banksi isa nan whose Notion is his pride 1927 '.
Therefore you call him bastard, ,parricide.
