l, And now there was rejoicing inDlxie
over the one just man that backslid,
2. For verify, the Republicans OF the
golden province, which is beyond the
great mountains by the deep waters,
were divided one against another.
3. Insomuch that when the great day
OF Election was fully come, Dimmicrats
prevailed over them and put them to
route, and chose out a certain Copper
head of the baser sort to be Chief Ruler
OF the Province, and certain other Cop.
perheads to speak for them In the Great
Temple OF the Lawgiyers.
4. And when these things were noised
abroad on the wires of the magician
there was joy unspeakabte throughout
the length and breadth Of Dixie, and
Andy, the winebibber grew and spread
himself as spreadeth the green bay tree.
5. But from out OF the mouth OF the
children OF Uncle Sam, even from every
loyal mouth, went up great voice,
crying:
q. Woe unto thee, Eldorado! Woe
unto thee, city OF the Golden Gate thou
that stonest Incorporates and goeth back
upon thy friends
I. How doth the province sit solitary
as wearying in good works How is
she that was great among the sisters
and princes among the provinces, be
come tributary unto Jeph
8 She weepeth sore in the night, and
her tears are on her cheeks. All her
children have dealt treacherously with
her they are become her enemies.
g. Eldorado is gone into captivity un-
to Jeph. She dwelleth among the
heather, she tindeth no rest.
10. The banks of the SaCremanto do
mourn, all her gates are desolste, her
priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted,
and she Is in bitterness.
II. Liberty sorroweth, her adversaries
are the chief, her enemies prosper.
II. For from the daughter Of the
West all her beauty is departed, her
princes are become like harts that find
no pasture, and they are gone without
strength before the pursuer.
Is. or all TIE provinces which did
write Liberty aad Loyalty upon their
banners, thou alone, Oh Eldorado, hath
returned like SOW to the mire, like q
dog to his vomit.
IA. Verify, it shall be more tolerable
for Virginia and Carolina than for thee.
Is. And the Republicans the Golden
Province bowed their heads in shame be-
cause they had suffered the Dimmicrats
to prevail over them.
Is, And they said, Spare US for this
time only, that we may repent and bring
forth works meet for repentance.
II. And it further came to pass In
those days that the Republicans who
dwelt in the East, nigh unto the Pro-
vince of the Kennucks, took thought for
themselves what they should drink.
Is. For, verify, the constabulary was
a law of this land and the forests were
filled with mourning, for the lumbermen
wept for their rations and would not be
comforted because they were not.
10. Insomuch that when the great
day Of election was come unto them, q
few went over and joined themselves I'M
to the hosts Of the Copperheads, saying,
20. Great is King Alcohol and Andy
is his prophet.
q. Nevertheless, they prevailed not
against the Republicans, but were smit-
ten hip and thigh, even from the city of
the great fire to the forests of Aroostook.
%. Bnt Andy the wine-bibber, went
about like roaring lion seeking whom
he might devour, and he sung the new
song which Franklin the man of blood
put into the mouths OF the Copperheads.
%. Even the song of Great Gains.
