A Democratic Monument.
Build we magnificent ..
Democratic monuments;
Let the pile historic rise, -.+a..-.. l.
Founded to immortalize
Democratic glories gained, ..
In the fight so long maintained,
And contested with such yIgor
r- Against Freedom And the Niger.
The materials must be
Emblemaiic. Let us see
Democratic trophies there;
Both its glories and its care
Relics left in its possession,
Previous triumphs of Secession.
All built round IA central figure
OF the Democratic Niger.
First, for funds, the Nations wealth.
Stolen by secession stealth;
Orphans patrimonies wrested;
In Confederate bonds invested r-.- -r.
Northern debts and widows mites
Sequestered for Southern Rights
With these build around the figure
OF the Democratic Niger.
Bring for ornaments, the rings,
Bracelets, amuletS and things,
From the bones of heroes carved; -
= skeletons of Yankees starved,
While as prisoners confined
Let these trophies be combined,
To eXalt the central figure
Of the Democratic NlgSef.
Jaws of blood hounds bathed in gore
OF ffugitiveS they tore;
Nine tailed whips of cords and knots,
Shrivelled skin and blood In spots;
Bucks and gags and collie chains,
Rusted DER with bloody stains
Build these round the central figure
Of the Den ocratic Niger.
Bayonets and bowie-knives,
That have let out loyal lives,
Murdered on the attle-feld-
While for quarter they appealed '
Such the rebel II tliumphs are .F e..
OF the Democratic war.
Let these glitter round the figure
OF the Democratic Niger. -fr b.
Yellow fever, poisoned clothes,
To be spread among their foes,- .
Fire-balls, destined to consume
Northern citieS-thus they doom
Women, babes, and helpless age
To their Democratic rage
Let all these adorn the figure
OF the Democratic Niger.
Hearts of Southern heroes, taught
By the nation that they fought;
Carefully by her maintained,
Educated, paid and trained
Dead to honor and disgrace, ...t.-.
Give suci rotten hearts q place
Near the leading central figure
OF the Democratic Nigger.
But most precious in the sight,
Elevate the parasite,
Whom we Northern dough face, call,
MeaneSt, Vilest thing of all. -
Let his Shiny, traitoI tongue,
Craven, false and foul, be hung
Where 'tlick the central figure DILL
OF the Democratic Niger.
Emblematic women see
Grace the pile i'll their degree. .-
Take the mistress who has sold
For Il purpose known, not told
Her own sister, far more fair .
Than her whiter self-tbe pair
Should support the central figure
81 OF the Democratic Nigger, .-
Take for mortar to cement rHHf
This historic monument,
Ashes of schocl-kouses, where
Negroes have presumed to dare
To be taught; and for their pains,
Mix the murdered teachers brains
Plaster these about the figure
- Of the Democratic Niger.
. Tears of av:sbed yellow maid,
By her fathers son betrayed
Both her master and her brother;
Foster son too of her mother.
Sated from his slave he turns,
And for younger sisters yearnS.
Sprinkle these upon the figure
OF the Democratic Niger.
Democratic maXimS trace,
Praises of assassination,
EXcuS, S for reputation
Proofs the Un .On has no powers
Against Treason when it lowers
Fitting sentiments to figure
.r. With the Democi attic nigger. q II
Infesting the monument,
Last the party represent,
BY repulsive reptile things,
Charged with venom, armed with stings
On foul slime and poison bred, -
Chief the 1oathsome CoppeYhead,
Singing Of the centre figure -5'-
- OF the Democratic Niger.
These are thine Democracy,
Ripe fruits of thy policy, ia
Through long Yeas of strife for power;
Through rebeilion's darkest hour,
p Not one earnest protest made E..3
Against all those crimes arrayed
Round the ever central figure,
OF the Democratic Niger.
What proud triumphs, that adorn
81 Columbia, have escaped thy scorn;
Freedoms noblest victory gained
The Nation saved, its faith maintained;
Against these, on every hand,
Fighting with such fiendish vigor.
Against Freedom and the Niger.
Ever ready to decry, ---f -- .-.--
Doubt, defend, dispute, deny;
Never to denounce the shame
Perpetrated in thy name;
Thou hast shown, bi every sign,
That this monument is thine;
Thine, this gathe ed infamy;
Made thine own, Democracy
Thine, each shame around the figure
OF the prosecuted Nigger.
