Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1863-12-31

New iiampShire-firm as granite rocks
Is faithful at the ballot box
Rhode Island, small, serves well to show
Which way the gale will doubtless blow.
Connecticut lays Seymour out,
And Buckingham still keeps about.
Kentucky rolls the Union Ball
With sixty thousand--that is oil!
Vermont--see JEFF his shoulders shrug -
Is like the handle of Jug.
"Ihe Ne,cs from Name p how full of dread
For every poisonous Copperheadw p
And California echoes back
The shouts from DER the Merrimac.
Ohio gives to stout John Brough
One Hundred Thousands t enough
The Keystone State leaves Woodward
clear
Behind the Curtin-rather queer,
When Little Mac lends helping hand,
And with Judge Woodward takes stand.
New York wipes Seymour out of sight,
And leaves him there in sorry plight.
Old Massachusetts keeps her place,
Acknowledged leader of the race;
And from the Mighty West we hear
The same good words Of hope and cheer
And thus there thunders through the land,
"OuR GLORIOUS UNION! IT MUsr STAND p'
As sinking ships are left by rats,
Van Buren leaves the Democrats;
And says in future it will suit
Him just as well to go a-fOot.
Peace" meetings, engineered by Wood,
Are getting to Misunderstood,
And men who long for Peace the most
Are thrashing rebels to their cost.
The Wade Committee bring to light
Some things too long kept out of sight,
And show Mcclellan to be prime
AT hanging--back, and killing-tia,e.
By Proclamation Abe suspends
The Habeas Corpus. Seymours Friends"
Look on surprisedr' amazed T.
alarmed n"
But well--behaved folks are not harmed.
Napoleon's recent speech makes known
A new idea all his own.
A general Congress he invites
For putting every thing to rights
The s'Polish Question" to decide,
A new state system to provide
And so forth, all extremely fair.
Yet every body says, "Bscayef r.
The Anglo Rebel Pirates run
A prosperous race, nor yet have done;
But new ones, resting on their ways,
Britannia's Broad Arrow stays.
In Canada, just DER the line,
The Rebels lay secret mine
Which proves failure, since, no doubt,
The outlet lets the secret out.
Party machines" for once don't work.
So Gunther's Mayor of New York.
Butler again is clothed with power,
ND fFtf II " 'cit hafn,,o
Five e-Twenties' are the favorite stocks,
So Uncle Sam has lots Of Rocks
Sec high officials oonarayafa
At Gettysburg, to dedicate .aG
Cemetery, where may rest,
with all their country's honors blest," !"
The men who bravely fought, and gave
Their lives fair freedoms home to save.
Hear Eyerett's golden periods tell
How long they battled and how well
They rest in Peace, and Freedom long
Shall chant their Requiem in her song,
From north to south, from sun to sun,
HEROES or GETTYSBURG, WILL DONBn'
Congress in session shows plain
And unexpected Union gain.
Abe in his wisdom and his right.
Makes Reconstruction easy quite,
And solves in his unequaled way,
The hardest question OF the day.
Heenan is badly bruised--gooa thing
Wish could say as much for King
The Rebel game of chess--a pique---
Proves mere game of 'Hide-and- seek
XVI.
Vermont, for thee claim brief space
10 sing thine honor-and disgraceI
And first thine honor. Der tha eeen
Thou sailest with dozen sheep.
Napoleon before thee goes
Inc man whom every body knows;
