SIX YEARS AGO.

Six years ago the stars and stripes
Were floating proud and free;
without an army on the land,
Or navy on the sea.
The Constitution was our guide,
1t hung upon the wall;
Life, liberty and justice then
Were free to one and all.
Six years ago our State was free
From negro equality,s alarms;
And in the place of national debts,
We cherished national charms.
Then the Union blessings came to Us,
In place of " Union duJlS;
And Congress sent out garden seed
In place of guarding gunS.
Six years ago we had no use
For 'provost guards and Clowns
With big brass eagles on their caps,
Parading through our towns.
A police sergeant with his squad
Of half dozen men,
Was quite enough, by day or night,
To quell riot then.
Six years ago the press was free,
And men could speak their mind;
Nor had the "hGbedS corpus writ "
Been kicked clear out behind.
We had no saucy negroes then,
To crowd our Senate Halls;
Nor did we ever read about
Amalgamation balls.
Six years ago wench would we'd
With "POmp" or "Sambo" freely,
But now she wants Il" Stevens"
A "Sumner" or Greeley -
For DER the spirit of their dream
Has SWeDt a mighty waVo.
The negro is the master now,
The white man is the slave.
Six years ago, the Sunny South
Had not been made waste
Nor had the flag of Liberty
Been torn in angry haste.
But Union, peace and harmony
Found refuge in our land;
And the warm fond ties of fellowship
United us as a band.
Six years ago, note ON bank
Was just as good as gold
Nor did we have to put u stamp
On everything we sold.
But now tits stamps on all we get,
Or give, or sell, or buy;
They tax us now because we live,
And stamp us when we die.
Six years ago, the Democrats
We're masters in the House,
And every person, North and South,
Was quiet as a mouse.
But now the Abolition crew
Have undertook to do the job
The negro is their hobbUhOrSe,"
Their object is to rob.
