The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1866-08-18
A Song for the Bread and Butter
Glee Club.


The bread and butter clubs that are ad-
Eertised to be inaugurated in Cecil, from the
uphill operations before them, will have
but melancholy time, and will feel the
need of Glee CLUB to enliven their gloomy
assemblages. We propose, therefore, to
present the following song to the Club Sc.
lectcd from an original poem published by
shei1 organ, The Cecil Democrat, soon after
the Presidential Inauguration last spring,
entitled death of Brandy"
In order that the uniniated-the kind of
material the "brigade" hope to make up the
rank and file of the Club-may fully appre.
clate the beauties of the song, and under
stand the "provincialisms of the poet, we
have supplied explanatory notes. The song
is descriptive of the Inauguration ceremonies,
showing how Andy, the "Pebeian" vice
President, acquitted himself on the "Fourth
Of March in sixty.fve."
Tne Fourth of March in Hsxty. FIVE"
Brought "Plebei NJ forth to take drive !;
Mounted he in Senate Hall,
Rode to Senate ''Hole in Walln'
Dead and gone is good old Brandy.
But we nop have johnson Andy
''Plebeian" refers to our good President $
low extraction, and was boast made by
him in his inaugural speech. "Hole in
Wal' is quaint term in vogue about the
Capitol for the numerous closets which as
tonlsh visitors with the number of empty
bottles strewn about in them,
From the Senate's ''Hole in WALL"
"Plebeian' came TO greet us all,
Took some ''iucohereut' spells,
Didn't know Old Gideon Wells!
Dead and gone is good old Brandy,
But we nor have johnson Andy -
The satirical poet intimates that Andy,
whom he styles 'Plebean,n was inclined to
incoherency after leaving "Hoe in Wall, ;"
in fact forgot the name of Gideon Wells. -
We remember that such a SANDER was pub
lished by the Copperhead papers at the time.
"Plebeian' stood before us all,
Told Of things both great and small,
Talk and stammer' d like fool
Told US that the "Plcbeians" rule.
Dead and gone is good old Brandy,
But we n0c have johnson AndyW
"Constiution's good" he said,
Told US all how it was made
Said it raised him from the dirt,
Made him e en- Granting squirt ~
Dead and gone is good old Brandy,
But we nor have johnson Andy !"
The poet in these verses pays u glowing
tribute to Andy's oratory.
Quit lie not his windy stuff,
Until "Forney' chok d him off;
"Forney' took his place and said
"Andy's' in the fellow head
Dead and gone is good old Brandy,
But we nom have johnson Andy T.
This stanaa alludes to the scandalons re.
ports The Democrat and such papers pub,
lished at the time, of Foncy's having to
pluck Andy's coat tail and coax him to cease
''his windy stuff.
High and low, both great and small
Then went to a. Lincoln's HAIL."
And partook OF ANDY Sling
Danced and ''cut the pigeon wing!'
Dead and gone is good old Brandy.
But we nor have johnson Andy"
"Brandy'' and "Johnson Andy" are sy-
nonymous terms, it will be seen, and when
the guests at the Inauguration hall take re-
lreShmens, they call for an ANDY sling"
in place Of brandy sling.
With these inspiring lines sung by the
Glee Club, after having a round Of ANDY
Sling it would excite the patriotic always
pronounced patronage-O's bread and but,
tiers to the highest pitch of enthusiasm.
