The G. HIS have lately adopted a stunnin
thing in the way Of Badge.
1t is a hefty idee-immence.
They tear OFF the defenseless femail wot
lives on copper sents, who has her he'd tied up
in a rag with Liberty onto it-jrst as they
bin tearin the pin fethers out Of the Burd of
Liberty, an tryin to smash everything that
has enuything to do with Liberty. This
Badge they pin onto thar kotes, and think
they'll pars for patriots-or any other riots.
They muchly remind mo ov rebels when they
display the Stars an Stripes to betray our SOL
gers to CORY graves. 1t meens the same
thing-and more 2. SEE copperhed me
