The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1853-1911, 1865-07-27


, And I will give thee the land of Dixi
for thy possession forever, for land o
J bondage, moreover, | will make the rule
of half my kingdom, He'll, and we wi
deceive the people.
And Jefferson took courage and re
joiced
And Vallandigham ceased not nigh
and day crying with loud voice, Peace
Peace-brothers of the North, compro
mise with your Southern brothers; ant
he deceived the people.
And when these tinclean spirits come
out of the mouth of the dragon, and out
of the beast, and out of the false prophet
They assumed unto themselves forms
like men; and assume the form of the
State Register, the Day Book, and the
/ Chicago Times And Burr took the form
of Pendleton, and Benedict Arnold that
of Fernando Wood.
And those unclean spirits kissed Abra.
ham and said, Father Abraham we are
loyal and for the Union and they deceiv-
ed the Puritans and raised an exceeding
| great army of Copperheads at the North
| And the Copperheads did fight the
army of the Lord in the rear, and Jeffer-
son did fight the army of the Lord in
front.
And sorely oppressed the army of A
braham until there was slain of the Union
army two hundred and forty and six
thousand.
And Abraham was troubled and cov-
cred himself with ashes and prayed to
God.
And the Lord answered Abraham and
SAID, Fear not Abraham, for thou art
Honest Old Abe.
| will call my seryernts the Johns,
wheel horses of Democracy, John Dough
erty, John A. Logan, John A. McClern-
and, and one Bob Ingersol, and Isham
N. Haynie and Stephen G. Hicks, to un-
deceive my people.
The Johns, ministers of God, raised
the cloak from the Day Book, and the
Chicago Times and State Register, which
was Judas Iscariot.
Behold there was concealed mass of
political corruption and treason. and Cop
perheads with forked tongues, and stink
of carron rose from the presses, and the
people held their noses, and the Johns
cried with loud voice, Come and see.
Bob Ingersol raised the curtain from
off Pendleton, which is Burr, and behold
on his brain was two negro babies, his
breast was iron, his thigh and legs clay
his feet were cloven, and his toes were
copperheads.
And Robert cried with loud voice,
Come and see. And the people cried
with one voice, Away with such men from
the earth, cruelty them, cruelty them.
And the Johns raised the covering
from Fernando Wood, which is Benedict
Arnold, and he had ten heads, which
were copperheads, his conscience was
scared as with a hot iron, and he was Civ
en- up to reprobacy of mind and hardness
of heart that he might believe lie, that
he might be damned, because he held the
truth in unrighteousness.
His face was also brass, and his hidra
heads had forked tongues like unto SER
pents On each head he had horn that
was called dilemma, and around each horn
was wound a huge rattlesnake, and on
the top flag with stars and bars.
And the Johns and Bobs spake unto
the people in a loud voice, saying, Come,
come and see
And the people answered and said, 1t
is revealed in the Scriptures that the seed
of the woman shall bruise the serpents
head and they stamped the Copperheads
with their heels.
And the army of the Lord in the South
thrust through and through the rattle
snake of Dixie, and the sneak peace ser
pent died suddenly without remedy.
And the remnant of the army of the
Lord rejoiced, saying, 1t is finished; it
is finished. Since Judas, Arnold, and
Burr, and Vallandigham and Pendleton
are laid low, no fellow is come up in the
rear against us.
And the soldiers did spit upon the
dead carcasses of the Copperheads in the
North, and bruised the heads of the rat
tlesnakes in the South, and rested from
their hard lighting.
And they took unto themselves wives
of the daughters of Abraham, and made
and preserved the Union.
And the Lord blessed Abraham and
cursed Vallandigham, and put mark on
him that he should deceive the nation no
more for thousand years. After that he
will be loosed little season.
Moreover, the Lord said unto Abraham
have driven the rebels into their last
ditch at Richmond and Charleston.
And I will give unto Grant power to
fight the battles of the Lord, and Rich
mond and Charleston shall surely fall and
great will be the fall thereof And Abra-
ham, Gods chosen one, shall again rule
over the people.
Then shall this nation beat their swords
into plough-shares and their spears into
pruning hooks, and know internal war
no more for ever and ever.
