"FITE HUNDRED DOLLARS RETlRD."
~ II. c. BALLARD.

Five hundred dollars reward
For a LOYAL act or a loyal word
Of Tilden the sham Fefnrmert
Since the hour that TreasOns work begun
And the Union cause nobly won
What act has Tilden or Hendricks done
That the soldiers hearts made warmer,
Tilden had donbts as all men know
Whether Lincoln then cOuh safely go
To deal SeceSsiOn a mortal blow.
According 10 law and Story!
He SEARCHED his law books through and through
To find what the father said or knew
While thousands Of men in army-b
Marched forth to the field of glory
And if (may God forbid > this man
Built up CalhOun's State Ri ghts" plan
Since the active years of his life began
Should gain the highest station;
Pray tell, who can. how soon the land
Would feel the curse of TreasOn's hand
The South renew its old demand
To rule or ruin the Nation.
No, No the price We paid tO-save
This proud Republic of the brave,
This blood buught land without slave.
Can never be forgotten!
Too many men on battle plain
Poured out their blood like summer rsiIs
To yield to a paI ~ again,
Disloyal as well as rotten!
