THE TILDEN CAMPAIGN.

Have millions Of money been squandered, in

That we saved for our sons at such terrible costY
Are the laurels OF may desper ate Tray
By terror and fraud to be taken away

And have Traitors been humbled, to triumph at
lasty
Though many brave hears in the trenches were
Though thousands OF widows and orphans were
made;
Though aear ones were taken forever away
From the homes that they loved to be lost in the
Though thousands of heroes in prisons were
To be starved by the .aenas who refused them a
Though onr fields and our burrows were delugcd
with blood,
Has ne nightsfade Of Treason been nippea in
The badr
Though we raised the old flag over Sumter again
Thougl We tramped to the sea through the Rebel
Though down to the Gull our battaons in blue
Passed on with will no repulse could subdue;
Though we marched into Richmond with victory
Though the last dag Of Treason was brought to
The ground;
Though nj ions Ia bondage were freed from their
CHI iins,
The old Rebel spirit unconquered yemaias,'
In each Southern heart the old hatred stl lives.
How mean II the spirit that never forgiyesi
All peace. law aud order the Rebels defy;
Ungrateful they live, and ungrateful they die

Instead OF the prison, ae restored them their
We gave them again GIRL rights" as OF yore
We pa doned their crimes. But they hate us the
more.
Unrepentant they live. Unforgiving they strive
TO keep the old flame of Dsunlon alive.
Each iosiers that natural hatred aud scorn
He has felt for the North ffom the time he was
They sit in their sackeloth; they plot and they

They watch and they wall, with the Coppcrhead

The embers o. Treason are smoderiug still.
The Rebels, unpunshed yet MURDER and KILT
In land where "a free man must fight or must
For the rights that his country has promised to

Where the Stars and the Stripes, meath the White
Leaguers feet,
Are tram led and torn In The dust Of the street.
Where Coincide ate outlaws the Union defy,

With record OF Perjury, Treason and Crime,t
