Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1866-04-26

friend sent US, some time ago, the following
vigorous drive at Copperhesds. It got mislaid O.
ii would have appeared sooner but better late thar
sere'. his good TO be lOst:l
COnscIfng to- CGpper'heads.
Come all ye rascally, copperhesd crew,
For have word 10 .sFy into YOU,
= 90 have tried, with an yoar power and might,
10 lover our Sorctnrsent's towering beiGhE.
Thanks to the God Ct var and creation,
You were duly arrested in your undertaking,
And now this. our great republic, is glowing
With peace. prosperity, srd fberty o'er Towing.
With keen sarcasIns and all your audacity,
To accomplish the work. you hadn't the capacity
You devised plans, and took many little crooks,
To procure the army revolving Sunday School
books.
And now to the loyal you SiIl have to submit,
Buta position you may have in the boitomless pit
And when your chains arc cl.nking and clnking
You'll think Of the overtures Of Abraham Lincoln
To suppress the rebellion you wouldn't draw q
trigger,
And now you will have to succumb to the mig ger
For freedom they fought. you know very we'll,
Whilst y0u were the eUriblc distilled quin,essence
of he'll.
You copperhead,, with your devilish dispositions
fre turning and twisting and making propositions
But you must still be held in subjection,
w hist ere batteys for freedom hold their election
You would ros respond to Gle call of humanity,
But rather preferred the ways Of profanity,
hhd now the debt you promptly must pay,
And IN gotsrnment matters have nothing 20 sat
You once thought the thing vas effectually done.
And in Richmond jeff Davis would set Oh his
throne;
But In calculating you have figured quite wrong
! or you know he was captured with a petticOst
Coppcsh eais, tcu will weep AM. sadly lament,
The loss Of your leader who had to pull hemp.
As you have been true TO his cause and his will,
We hope you his place may very soon fill.
You had better drive slow and tlke the short way,
And INTO soldier have nothing to say,
For they true 10 their cause and ready TO act,
And you might get knocked into double cooked
hat.
Copperheads. you cannot reign or rule any more,
For to community you have been only bore,
foh have ,1ght to tsrnslI the laws of our ration
BY forcing slavery into every habitition.
You reared and you 'norted, and frOthed at the
mouth.
whene'er you could hear good news from the
Sonth.
Now you must lay low and for no Office run again,
Or you will most assurcdly be dunsed for he
You cope thead nends Of Marshall county,
Shall here upon earth receive a bounty,
You must be euGed and kicked out Of the way,
And in hell receive your monthly pay.
or all Gods creation here upon earth.
You are the filthiest. and TO be hated the WORT,
You have no rights here in our land,
You have no right except to bc datrhcd
When our country calling for help.
You copperhead snakes to Canada crept;
Since freedom is won and the draft is no more,
Serpents come.crawling from Canada shore.
Now when the devil for you doth appear.
You'll cling - such TO you most dear;
Ou will stick and you'll hang to your butternut
badges.
And your little black jugs you'll use for your
baggage.
Efsrk. alas. your transportation is coming.
And you will soon hear old Beelzebub drumming.
You will take a good snort out to one side,
And you i'll then be elected to free ride.
wish you good luck and safe journey through
To the mansiors of he'll which are waiting for you.
Nav you ever be haunted and forever thinking
a Twas that murdered Abraham Lincoln."
