or which he ha abundant sto re.

Dut cTilic sup, lhey IL lhiuh you re
crazy,
Or rather tickle, misty. hazy;
Prudence will. 1t must dictate.
We leave him now In this debate.
Negative-That the Nation must tall.
And now we come to Brother Hare,
Who with him can we cOmpare?
Whoever reads his tender heart,
Would ever doubt that he is smart.
So mild and courteous i'm his way,
Descriptive too, in truth may say;
Exposes frauds. paints out the scene,
Dare not his countries faults to screen.
And tells the body polite,
Of some things that have made it sick.
An orator. We think he'll make,
To cope with any in the state.
Rig thoughts are what the people say,
Will always cut themselves away.
A little force. would help him much,
While off his subjects, he doth touch.
Sublimely grand. is q good start;
Yet give il edge. will make 1t smart,
Attention-hear him, look you now,
As he appears to make his bow.
Empires rise! and pass away,
All things are subject to decay.
Egypt in its mighty grandeur,
With temples of the greatest spiendor;
Greece and Rome so much renowned,
Their glory but an empty SOUND.
Revolutions still advance,
Look at fickle-minded France;
The roll of years, the fearful march OF
time;
STAY not. America must fall in line;
Just see how demagOa ues abound,
Both in cities and in town.
The secret canker now at wors,
Dandies too. and common nirts.
| SlandererS, also. are about.
Who ought to have their tongues cut out.
Pride anI fashion all the go,
Go to Church to make show;
Dressed in satins. ribbons, laceS,
| Pride themselves on pretty faces.
| True Religion rather lean.
| Join the church their deeds to screen,
Ministers. who once stood high,
Deeply fallen. prOStrate lie;
Gamb blerS. hvpocriteS an all,
| Degraded by old Adams Fall.
Licensed houses of i'll fame.
| 4 stigma on the coIntry's name;
The common schools attacked by
A certain class who raise Il cry.
Locomotives on the way.
Travelling on the Sabbath day.
Doggery keepers everywhere,
| Making Drunk ards-set.a snare.
Men degraded turr. their coats,
| And for money sell their votes.
Ask some for money when just they
owe, -.
eli you tO neil &Os
MiserS as in days of yore.
| Starve themselves opprcss the poor,
ilumhugs like phrenology,
| Spiritual rappingS hold their sway.
| No better now--triIth must be told,
Than astrolOgers OF old.
| Yes settled deep in luxury.
| Although we call rhe nation free,
Money, money, is the thing.
| The burtful. frightful, bosom sin;
| Barefaced corruption everywhere,
| Meet us in turn. ami ut us stare.
| Mighty mean men do get Office,
By wire. pulling in the caucus.
| Nuw York frauds have been found out.
| ID efaulters yet are still about
| Gold spectators had their day.
| Corruption yet not passed away.
| lis claimed by some. our recent fire,
Has raised high heavens mighty ire;
Can we expect in fifty years,
Will lessen. now, these guilty fears?
Empires grow, yet fall by weight,
Nations, too. may share their fate.
There Is power we must admit,
That will control and manage is.
America, my native home,
Ger whose lands | love to roam;
| With all your faults We love thee yet.
| Your wholesome laws, we can't forget
Long may her flag continue TO wave.
Ger the hoIac of the true and the land o
the brave.
Discussion closed. n grant was given,
(After having had deeiSinn).
For anv who might wish to mako
Remarks. or to extend debate.
Brother Mott, who chance was teere,
| Who looks so pleasant and so fair,
Was called upon yet chose decline,
TO enter i'm debating line.
Who next we see bnt Billy King.
Now straddllnG forth amid the ring;
More of an actor, 10! Is he,
Than an orator will ever BE-
Brother Kali made some remarks,
Commencing well at the first start.
Did not wish prolong debate,
Time is passing getting late.
Last is Brother. Edgaryer,
Whose remarks we can't forget;
How much surprised in truth were we
In this the nineteenth century;
To hear him state n'er heard heretofore
That slavery did not cause the war.
But that the South free trade wanted,
But Northern, men would not grant it.
Protection. as he held it forth.
Is what is asked for, by the North;
Conflicting interest, was the thing,
Had caused this civil war within.
Did he not hear of the Convention.
Held at Charleston, need we mention.
Missnuri-cOmpromise repeal,
How it made the nation feel.
how in Kansas, we have had,
Troubles which have made us sad.
How strange that such view be taker
How liable TO be mistaken.
The best of men may err betimes,
Not excepting great divines.
Ihe speaker then warning gave,
Told how the nation may be saved.
Politicians make fuss.
Dema gogues we cannot trust.
| TIT st in God throughout .he lanI
Then he will make the nation stand.
We've said enough, all mast admit it.
Thus ends the rhyming of your critic.
