BOUND TO THE HILLS.
BIZ BADGER.

Well, yes. We're walking
Pard'ner, dry up why shouldn't he be told p
Toward them there mountains after that there gold.
No use in talking;
Uncle Sans troopers stop my pard and me.
Yankee dragons says you, "wilI do their
With gold for booty,
Knowing what Congressman have done for gain,
Are common soldiers likely to abstain?
1 look for them, sir, to desert.
But as for fear that well get hurt
By anything that they viii do to stop us,
We run no risk unless them Redskins " drop US.
Always acknowledged that the soil was theirs?
Come, now, you've colleged it;
Which of them early pioneers acknowledged it?
Bought it like honest men, time and again?
Paid for it? When? VIII did? Not Penn!
Yes, there you're right. He was about the best
then.
Pard'ner, your flask. Here's heaven help the rest
them
Sublime display
Should this Republic let that treasure lay?
Hey2 All that money just to be sublime?
Nary imeI
II glory came, sounded from Europes trump of
fame,
TIL all creation had to stop its car;
For that there whistle we should pay too dear.
Treaties be bowed!
I'd like to see the parchment that will hold there.
VIC Ok nav 4a0 III NANaIs ~ We u AAONCu
About the gold there!
And now we've found it, ~leastways will, next season.
The land reverts-thats law it stands to reason.
You buy my farm, suppose. Why, every pettifogger
If you find coal where 1 found only heather
OF course I get back land and coal together.
Not law? Yes tbs. You mind your biz!
Well, what if faint? Them Redskins amt No
scholars,
So don't talk treaties when we're talking dollars.
How? Judgments sent upon the country? We
Mypard and me-by then will be
Nabobs in Paris-I should say Par-ree.
So, as YOU say, Gods scourges may
Scourge you, but we shall wisely keep away
From War or Famine
Or Plague; besides, that's CANNON.
Hain't we give back wen-nigh upon the whole,
Freedom and rights and such, of what was stole
From them there darks to quite a smart amount?
And you think Heaven can't balance an account?
You're irreligious.
Besides, them Redskins always was perfdjus.
Just don't you fear.
I'm one that likes to read my title clear.
So pve about ciphered this here thing out.
What them there Sioux have got to do
Is Just to take a trip across the border,
And get extinguished, after law and order.
If that don't right 'em, laws arc not made to suit
their within.
Didn't Washington fight 'em-and where's a better
man than him?
This theme is one a patriot soul expands on.
sir, this great nation owes it to civilization
To take whatever it can lay its hands on.
There again-isn't it plain?
What if them hills belonged, Wen say, toSpain?
But now if there's a conflict we shall whit.
1 say the ways of Providence is in it.
Can't see it? lean. Pm a square man.
You said where were we going? You've been told.
You go for principle-we go for gold.
Go for it strong-and also for our country, right or
wrong.
Which meaps the same so you had better mind it.
The only reason why Uncle Sam won't have that
gold next season
viii be faint there or else Q. S. can't find it.
Now, if you're rested,
Pard, well go on and get this matter tested.
