The country through,
win all, to a man, do all they can
For Tippeeanoe and Tyler too;
And with them etc efe-


For the Buckeye who follows the pIongh
The Foeman in terror his valor contest,
And wen honor the eonqueror now.
His country assaIed in the darkest Of days,
To her rescue impatient he few;
The war-whoops fell blast, and the rifles red
blaze,
But awakened old TIppecanoe.
On Maumee's dark waters, along with brave
Wayne,
Green laurels he CLEANED with his sword;
But when peace on the country came smiling
again,
His steel to the seabbsrd restored.
But wise in the Council, as brave in the field,
His country still asked for his aid;
And the birth Of Young Empires his wisdom
revealed,
The Sage and the Statesman displayed.
But the red torch Of war, the tOmahawks CLEAN,
To the battle again called the true;
And there where the stars and stripes brightly
stream,
Rushed the Hero Of Tlppecanoe.
Now harki from the far, frozen wlds Of the North,
What battle shouts burthen the gale9
The hosts Of Old England ride calamity forth,
And the Captive and Conquered bewan.
His country recalls the bold ehleftain she loves
The sword Of "Old Tip she reclaims;
And victory heralds wherever he moves
The path Of the Hero Of the Thames
Hurrah for the Hero Of rippecanoe-
The farmer who ploughs at North Bend
A soldier so brave and patriot so true
VIII find In each freeman friend.
Hurrah for ths Log-cabn chief Of our choIcei
For the old Indian Fighter hurrah
Hurrahi and from mountain and valley the voice
OF the people re-eehoes s-hurrah.
Then come to the ballot box-bOys, come along;
He never lost battle for you;
Let us down with oppression and tyranny's throng
And up with Old Tippecanoe
After this nearly every song had some
thing to say about "Tippecanee," the star

man Of the people. 1t was dull campaign
week that didn't rain new song onto the
heads Of the wonder-struck Loco Focos:

'Tis good for the lovers Of order and peace
To vote for brave Tippeeanoe.
CHORUS:
Hurrah for brave Tippecanoel
Hurrah for brave Tippecanoei
We pledge TO our country our fortune and lives,
And vote for brave Tippeeanoe.
| He was the man in our country's distress,
To the British and Indians pursue;
And with numbers inferior and troops short OF
food,
He logged them at TIppecanoe.
When his soldIdrs he came to dismiss.
And bid them heros adieu.
He said; my brave boys, when you come to
my hut,
There'n be plate ever ready for you"
His youth In our service he spent
With head and heart ever true;
In war and in peace with virtue increased,
| Then vote for brave Tippeeanoe.
These are sample verses OF song that

Days of Adam and Eve" II contains an al
lusion to Maine. which had Democratic
Governor when the singing began:
Things aln't now as they used to was been.
Folks amt now as they used to have been.
In the good old days when Matty Van
Ruled over the land like fearless man,
And his mighty rule no one denied.-
| Oh then was the time OF the Loeos pride;
On dear. they mourn and grieve
1 For the good old days OF Adam and Eve.
Il
Folks don't bet now as they used to bet then,
Folks don't brag now as they used to brag then,
/ When In every State il was clear and sartin,
| That large maIority'd 90 for Martin;
But now they think IT'S pretty plain
/ Wen hold Missouri and may get Malnel
Oh dear, he mourns and grieves
For the good old days Of Adam and Eve.

Rogues amt now as they used to was been;
| Demagogues change from what they have been;
They shake in their shoes when they hear the elat-
ter
/ OF Harrison's name. and cry what's the matter?
oh, It's only the creak OF the ropes We are trying,
| To hang you all up to be done with your crying;
And then you'll mourn and then you'l grieYei
/ For the good old days Of Adam and Eve.
But the old Maine Wings won Maine after

Of being the author. 1t wis entitled "Har-
rison," went to the tune OF Yankee

win agree
Itrather seems that humbug schemes
Can never more eaiole us;
There's such a run for Harrison,
That nothing can control US.
The Western World the flags unfuried.
No faction can divide her;
And all the rest will sing the test,
"Log Cabin and Hard Cider"
| When our frontiers were drenched In tears,
Their cabins saekd and CORY,
He struck the blow, chastisd the foe,
And conquer'd peace with glory.
Then join the throng and swell the song.
Extend the circle wider;
And lest US ON for Harrison,
LOG cabin and hard cider"
When British bands and savage clans
United assalled US,
| Our Harrison was then the one
Whose courage never failed us,
Through all the West he stood the test.
And all his foes confounded.
And held his posts against the hosts.
BY whom he was surrounded
Though at the Thames some other names
He laid the plan and led the van
| To victory and glory.
Then crowd the thrOng and swell the song.
And spread his glory wider,
And Join the run for Harrison,
Log Cabin and Hard Cider"
Let Grundy.Sneer and Benton Ieer
The day Of retribution
We firmly trust twill be for US
A day Of restitution.
And let Calhoun change every moon,
And every such baekslider,
Wen go as one, for Harrison,
Log Cabin and Hard Cider"
No golden schemes, nor Benton dreams,
No Swartouts TO beguile US,
Nor any Price or other vice,
To purchase or dene US.
With Harrison, our country's one,
No treaehery can divide her.
