Refuses to apologize.
The Judge, to every ones surprise,
"Accepts H. G.'s apolOgym ..5t
" EatirsIy satisfied !" says he.
Jef's Peace Commissioners surprise
And pull the woel DER Greeey's eyes !"
But Abe, so ready for turn,
Just writes To whom it may Concern"
And Peace Commissioners find out
That Lincoln knows what he's about,
XVII.
The Cabnet-lt is MT strange
Encounters now and then change.
Lincoln at last gives up the Chase,
And Fessenden fills well the place.
Montgomery Blsir-Abe thinks it best
Resigns, and takes trip out west;
And Bates, though not in bad repute,
Yet quick decides to-follow suit.
The Presidents Thanksgiving Day
Was spent IN quite novel way
By soldiers on the tented field.
The Eagle all in vain appealed
For notice, for the Turkey won
And held the day from sun to sun.
And soldiers non are heard to say,
g Let euery Turkey have his day."
Soldiers not all our Bounties share,
For Sailors, too, have had Fair
And Boston, to her mission true,
Leads off in all things Good and New.
Election in New York passed by
Without the slightest Riot why?
Because-of course-the reason--well,
Ask General Butler; he can tell,
The best-laid schemes of men and mice
And REBELS fail them in trice.
Chicago is MT taken yet,
In spite of Rebel traps well set.
New York is not in ashes laid,
| Though divers efforts have been made.
| Mcclellan is MT President.
| Cause" Re-enforcements was MT sent"
Again we hear the impartial voice ~
| Of Justice, and all hearts rejoice,
To find the peerless Marshalls place
Well filled by Salmon Portland Chase.
Lincoln's late Message plainly shows
That his last fashion is "Squars-toes."
In fact, Saint Crispin's sons declare
His last to be Big affair ~
And Traitors feel, as on he treads,

OF late the rebels hear sound
Resembling Thunder, all around p
Savannah let's the secret out,
| And shows what Sherman is about.
Thomas, now we'll supplied with Wood,
Is making quite lively-Hoed.
The Butler Expedition sails
For--oh, You know | don't tell tales.
Canadian Threats are not fulfilled,
None save Judge Coursol being killed;
And last, the President again
Calls for "Three Hundred Thousand
Men"
| XVIII.
The Spring Elections clearly show
That Lincoln gales will doubtless blow
While Fall Elections make it plain,
That there will be a hurricane!
Meanwhile the People all prepare
In the November Fight to share.
True Patriots, so in earnest, feel
That a great Nations woe or veal,
Its honor, yea, its very life
Hangs on the issue OF the strife
And so they work by night, by day,
And never once forget to pray.
While Traitors, North and South, con-
spire
To accomplish what they most desire
And leave ntried no scheme that tends
To bring about their hellish ends.
The Day of days is drawing near
Mems hearts beat fast with hope and fear,
Fremont now quietly withdraws,
And thus helps on the Loyal Cause,
The Day of days has dawned at last;
Contending Hosts are gathering fast
For Fight not famed for deafening
shocks
The Battle of the Bsllot-Box!
The Day wears out, and done the strife
On which depends the Nations life
And God has taken us at our word;
The prayers of millions have been heard
And, spite of every hellish scheme
Which traitors in their madness dream:
In spite of go. A. KS" whose work
Needs only darkness and the dirk
In spite of "Dry Goods Boxes" crammed
As full of Fraud as can be jammed:
In spite Of threatened Raids and Fire,
Of Death and Devastation dire;
| In spite of votes by Rebels cast,
| Of Roughs so fierce, and Frauds so vast -
The Day by Patriots has been won,
And, at the setting of the sun,
The Ballot Box this verdict gives:
"1TIs FINISHED! THE REPUBLIC LIVES
I" The States have with each other We'd
"To swell the Overwhelming Tide.
New England nobly has she done
New York, in spite of Fraud, has won
"The West Unit in its Might!
"The far Pacific States All Right!
The Key Stone State! What Splendid
| Gains
"My Maryland !! all Free from Chains
"Freedom moves on, with princely tread,
+" -Four Hundred Thousand Votes ahead
"LINCoLN is PRESIDENT AGAIN p
And Loyal Millions shout, "AMENr p

Vermont the heartfelt tear hath shed,
In memory Of her Honored Dead!
The self-made man, Of Judgment rare;
