Win Democrats 90 s|cep together.
Ihoy'd ho The iie that proud would nv.

That you tho party can control.
See yon proud shi with sails an spread.

And moves where'er the pilots hand
Points out the way Tor 10 10 go,
Forced on by all the winds that blow.
Or better yet yop steamer see,
.Nainst wind and wave forced out 90 sea
Think you tho hguro-head can guide
The boat upon the raging tido'
IT'S steam that makes the boat swir 20.
The lot doth the pathway show.
u on the ship Of State you place
A. ngure-hoad your Greeley's face,
And then 10 fjree 10 down times stream,

WI net the wind 80 furious blow
That you must seek the hold below
", Jonah Ike, will you not be-
10 calm the storm, cast In the sea
Where whales by you cannot be found
To spew your bodies on dry groundf
Lions icd on lambs, strength gain
To rule with terror wood and plain,
II you Republicans divide.
And raise 10 power the other side,
Upon their ship Of State they'll place
Ashgure-head your Grccley's face
But when the vessel puts n sea,
The officers and crew must be
Selected from the rebel band,
And copperheads In northern land
Tis they who must the vessel guido,
And steer u Ger the raging tide
For Democrats tthe story gocs)

Three million Democrats IN ristsi

Whom they the spols Of victory spy
You cannot stop them II you tryi

Ind you ne Lamb in his inUds.
