he won't approve of any more cleo
tons. Old Pcte's not only a job lot
of filth and dirt, but he's a conglomer.
alton of low down, genuine cussedness.
His dirt doors are a cross between the
Monaghan, Hottentots, the Jersey hog
and the Jackass, capable of hate, envy
evil, blasphemy, Islander and the pet
slave of Paganism, with little brains
and less sense. They're against every
thing that's humble, honest, honor
able, industrious, kind generous, low.
ing and think they'r better than the
son or daughter of labor and consider
themselves infalible and seek to dandle
in the lap of luxury. They'll boast of
their blood when they know it's 'tinged
with a monkey and haven't a single
%redeeming feature. They'r likely to
frequent the gilded places and dens of
iniquity and sin which tinge the cheeks
of the honest with a blush of shame.
It's a sad commentary indeed, but
it'll be a verdict of all sensible, we'll in
formed and honest people of every po-
litical party; if the legislature decides
in favor of old Pete that they'll rightly
be denounced as a goosey nuisance,
possessed of folly and human vanity,
unciyilized and the relic of cowardly
barbarism. And it should be inscribed
upon the marble slab that marks their
dust, they considered thievery and
slavery honest and waged val to pro-
cure captives for bondage. The people
of Tennessee elected Evans by a con.
siderable majority, but still old SOW
cat Pete holds the Office and against the
will of his own party. Pete's ~tyranical
crew has subverted the wish of patri-
otto and honest people by gross usurpa'
ton and against the rights and liber'
ties of both the people and the law.
Boys, we occupy the very same rela-
lation to posterity that our fathers Of
the first revolution occupied to us.
They fought for civil and religious lib
erty and political equality; they fought
the tyranny of usurpation and oppres-
SIGN, and established a free Govern
ment and free institutions, of which
we have been so highly blessed and of
which we as Americans delight to
boast. 1t our solemn duty to main
tain the same great principle at all
hazards. The people should spurn the
usurper to the last extremity and these
inalienably attributes of freemen
should be maintined if it takes the
bayonet to do it.
Come boys, thy country calls thee,
Idolaters are ruling in Tennessee;
And call from the distant East,
To stop old Gear Pete's feast.
If yourh hands are soft and white.
You can not your duty slight;
There's a burden to be lifted,
Bad from good must be sifted.
Theft and carnage stains the crew,
Pete's the Sultan, the boogerboo /;
Hear the rotten Gear Pete's cry,
His filthy clamors rend the sky.
Di,may and terror fills freedom 3 land,
Pete defies the law 8 command
True the gang, to their trust,
Governors honor laid in dust.
Let the people and nation know
OF Gear Pete's eternal overthrow;
Tyrannical Pete shall reign no more,
Evans is Governor and troubles DER.
The goodly land of Tennessee,
The land of sacred liberty;
The home of plenty blessed,
Land of love, peace and rest.
