N late number of old Hunts sheet;
: &c sEs about shallow pate,''
WlO4nakes him steep unea>iIy.
He there fOrgcts to sign his name
And leaves it blank through very shame;
But 1 suppos sc he's not to blame
For disowning such poetry.
One thing this poet has let pass:
Although he seribbles for the press.
He fails to tell thst he's an ass
As STUPID as 4 dromadary.
This poet. too, has tried his luck.
He's run for Office, snip and tuck"
The people said she's 4 dead duck
Therefore he's for Greeley.
He goes for all the candidates
And what they're doing around of late =
A style that only such pate
AS his can give publicity.
He speaks of Greeley's party gains.
But have taken little pans
And find none but sorehead clans
Have Joined the Greeley dynasty.
Now a word for Hunt-though not abuse
but uon't deny II, tits no use,
That had you beaten Peter Hughes
You would shout for Grant most Justify.
But since the people will not have
Such broke-dOwn sorcheads, then you
rave,
And help to dig old Greeley's grave
With your internal foolery.
DnrhonS -oYs,i IiEo .noflar IRE
OF 500 as gift
Is that the reason you made the shift
TO the ranks of the Democracy.
''Old Jim,'' you know, was not content
With the way that 500 went,
And the gamblers know how twas spent
Around the hells OF Topeka.
So we see how the Liberals stand
Among the white folks of the land;
They are regarded as band
OF broken down confcdefates.
There's N said. to make blow,
Among horse thieves he'd rather go,
Before that he would ever show
For Grant the least partiality.
Well, it always was curious feature
That nearly every living creature,
According to the laws of nature,
VIII seek it. own affinity.
Then there's our Judge; it's not so strange
That he should undergo a change,
For years he's been thought deranged
And--guards him faithfully.
In fact he is mere cats paw
Whom-holds within his claw,
And as necessity knows no law
We call him old necessity.
Then Cd he will sometimes rise
And talk of Grants s'gift enterprise
And other cursed Greeley lies
Which he commits TO memory.
He has learned at last how they sold him
At Cincinnati, and enrolled him;
He did not know till some one told hum
For brain with HIM is scarcity.
IfC--d only would keep still,
And take the post he is made to fill,
And so to hod-carrying with will,
He'd get along most swiningly.
And then it does me so much good
To hear such men as old Sam Wood.
A Texas thief of noted blood,
Corruption howl continually.
To me it seems little queer
That this corruption should appear
To beaten sorchcadS far and near,
And them alone, SO recently.
do not say they all are thieves,
But am one who still believes
That what amt fools and sorehc..d sicrcs
Arc rogues OF some ability.
And now friend Hunt think you'd better
Just publish Jake Thompson's letter
OF '63, which the rebel writer
Sent to his home from Canada.
1t always was rule with man
To judge his neighbours tricks and plans
According to the cliques and clans
Which make up his constituency.
There is not noted thief alive
Who out of Jail docs still continue
To stay, who does not give
His aid to Greeley's conspiracy.
But it's not so with honest men; #
They go with Grant the same as when
He led them ON the bloody plain,
To everlasting victory.
Then howl away you Grecleyites,
Your bark is much worse than your bite,
And when it comes to stand up fights
Leg bail is your security.
So now, friend Julius, call around,
Lets fight IL out on equal ground.
Till one of us shall still be found
Able TO claim the victory.
