Dedicated to all PATRIOTS Of america By ncr humble
FRIEND ant sercdnt j. HERBERT.
IIurrah for Hancock, great chlefain and leader
Let banners of freedom all now be unfGrled!
Hurrah for our soldier and workingman's peader
His shall be higher than thrones of the world,
The tramp laws and bank thieves shall fade like nightmare
Beneath the great sway of his justice and power;
No more shall the ShyOcks rush on with the lions share
And leave us the stems as they pluck of the flower.
Then hurrah, &c.
The minions who'd fawn meath the glare Of a tyrOnt
And kiss his base feet were he ever so wrong;
Who now for IA throne would cen have an aspiraut,
Have led proud Columbia in darkness too long.
Then away with the traitors the hrengs OF crownedheads
We want not their sway in a land that is free;
But hurrah for the hero who the bright van leads
HurrGh for our Hancock and proud victory!
Then hurrah, DC.
Then let us all vow that no vile usurrators
Shall ever again see the light on our shores:
While our land is the envy and flower Of all nations
No tyrant or slave shall exist at our doors.
But guarding with honor our wives and our darlnga,
Our banners uplifting for freedom and right,
The fear of all kings and the terror OF hirenss.
Determined our Hancock shall win the good aght
Then hurrah, &c.
They had just exchanged their rings,
And sat on the sofa together,
Discussing the subject OF weather
And several other things.
1t was midnight ere he rose;
And a litter piece of court plaster
From her cheek of alabaster
Was stuck on the end Of his nose.
Whoever says ''Injanner" to us dies
Taylor, the Chicago glucose man, has formed
q company in Kankakee for the manufacture OF
glucose. 1t will start with capacity of 1000
bushels of corn.
party of some 25 or 30Gartielders from Grand
Ridge, Ostrandcrs, &c, came into town on last
Friday night to show their pretty uniforms. John
Ny saluted them with the statement that they
were all horse thieves" but took it back hearing
they were republicans!
Chas. Stevens, the fine -haired republican cam
didate for circuit clerk put in an appearance on
our streets on Thursday. No doubt Stevens is
making his arrangements for distributing his
pint bottles of whisky. Charley is facetous
gent. He says all that is necessary to carry an
election is to give the Irish pint Of whisky"
There is none of the spirit of goodfelowness in
Mr.. Stevenss idea. Not IN the least. 1t is sim.
ply cheap way Of buying votes, in the exped-
ency and practicability Of which he has not a
doubt! He will electioneer on that plan. He
thinks it quite the proper thing to insult an Irish
man in Ottawa and La Sale and elsewhere in
this way as he did in Streator, and will undoubt-
eddy try it on throughout the countyas he will not
in Streator, where he knows he'll be beaten out
of his boots, Streator miners and Irishmen ad-
miring neither the insults he casts upon them
nor the truck bill he so gowingly admires. What
use such men are as public servants is past fig
uring out.
The astronomer of one of our heavy Otta wa
dales comforts his readers with the information
that the "plannet" Jupiter, to whom all the late
weather frolics 'fs" charged is disappearing
but again disturbs their ease with the assurance
that 'commet" is rapidly" approaching to
keep up the excitement.
