Seymour and Blair Forever!
A1n-Mc cle11an's .Narch to Richmond.

A1R-Mc C7ellan's Narch to Richmond
Come all ye Democrats, and listen to my song,
That am going to sing-it won't detain you long
1t is poorly composed, and has bad Air,
But think it suits the party-Seymour & Blair.
These two Statesmen advocate our rights
By reserving the ballot box entirely for the whites
And the Mongrel State Governments. wherever
they are,
Will all be dispersed by Seymour Blair.
These great men were by the people chosen
AS men who would supportthe old Constitution
Our Rights in the Union, without the kinky hair,
Is the true policy of Seymour and Blair.
That is oil we want, and all we would have
We can oil live without the negro as a slave
With the exception of thenegro, putus as we were,
And we'll oil live in peace under Seymour & Blair.
When Grant read the news of the Great Nomina-
tion,
He cursed and swore like all damnation;
BE called to Colfa1 in deep despair,
And saws We will be beat by Seymour Blair"
"I saidit wouldn not dol knew it would not do
This Radical Juggernau. we cam, get through
Fall in Scalawags--you have straight hair
And help us to pull against Seymour & Blair
Ben Beast Butler proposed the other day.
To steal all the Silver Spoons, then runaway,
Provided Grant would follow and keep up the rear,
For he could not stand the pressure from Seymour
and Blair.
oh cheer, boys, cheer; raise the joyous shout
We will overthrow the Scalawags-put them oil
out
We can do it easy-we can do it fair,-
By ali pulling together for Seymour and Blair.
Oh, the Star Spangled Banner, long may it wave,
O,er the land of the free, the home of the brave;
oh, hoist it in sple idor, unfold it in the air,
We'll take IL as watchword for Seymour q Blair.
There is one thing now, before end my song
7 would like for all Democrats to try and take
long,
It's the Democratic Badge, SO rich and so rare
1t is the Photographs of Seymour l; Blair.
The Union of Washington is the Uaion for US
That Union We will have or raise big muss,-
We will hav. 1t through the ballot box, or fight
them in the rear,-
With the old onstitution-Scymour Blair.
NEGROES ARMING AND DEILLlNG.-The
Memphis Ledqer, of the lst inst, makes this
statement:
"We understand that negro leaguers are
drilling at several points CT the outskirts OF
the CITY. The different gunsmithS of the city
are kept busily at work by them making re
pairs. The employees of our office counted
twelve this morning with guns for repair at
the establishment opposite. What is the
meaning of all this unusual stir and prepara-
ton? Do they all intend to quit farming and
working and hunt for a livelihood? ?"
The Nashville Bannsr of the 4th, says:
awe have seen it stated that the negroes
in other portions of the State are adopting Il
similar course. This is one of the legitimate
results Of Radical teaching. They have been
mad, to believe that the Southern people,
among whom they propose to live, are their
enemies, and that they should arm themselves
and organize companies and drill, that they
may be prepared TO resist the entertainments
of these enemies. Why is it that no efforts
are made by the civil authorities 10 put stop
to this movement on the part OF the negroes
and to show them the criminal folly OF such
q course g:
