entitled
MCCLELLAN AND TIE UNION.
When rose the gloomy clouds of war,
And brother rushed at brother,
The hands so late n friendship clasp'd
Drew swords against each other,
Our country hailed with pride and joy,
And every tongue was telling
The leaders name whose star had dawned--
The young and brave MeCIellsul
CIEURUs-
Around tine Old Flag We wit rally like men
Wen rally like men in the DobIest commup
ion;
Mcclellan, our leader, we'll rally again,
Aud fight to restore the Old Uuiou-
The union Of lakes and the union Of lands,
The Union which none shall discover.
The union Of hearts and the union Of hands
Our glorious Old Union forever!
But Wild and ferCsr grew the strife,
Ans armies sternly meeting,
Stood face TO face on mutual ground,
And Numbered hostile greeting;
Then brighter grew his glorious name,
And patriot voices swelling,
Renewed the soldiers shout and cried
Our hero is Mcclellan!
But envy aims AZ all that's bright,
And strikes the noblest quarry,
So who but he, our gallant chief,
Should dogs of PARTY worry;
But never half so pure and true,
(Fiis fame enshrined is dweuingl,
As when his foes their futile shafts
Shoot harmless at McCleuanl
( @Aoo'N bAAS " NttAA dAAA NlAOu9 III O4lEg
Whose transient power debases,
His trial shows him nobleT still,
And every wrong but grEces
Then here's to him, the just ana brave,
Who all his foemen guelling,
Shall yet redeem his country cause,
Our hope and shicld-NcClellan.
