TIE WHIPPING POST.
Old VirginiA's Shame.

Alas fer old Virginia,
She's seen q batter days
But cow they say the whipping post
Is coming back to stay.
They tried il in the 0lden time,
Under the slave regime,
When black bare backs alone were
hayed,
And white men reigned supreme.
Then came the war OF sections.
And freeaem was proclaimed,
ARd slavery Was swept away,
And BourboDs they were tanned.
Then all our land was tranquil,
And prosperous every one,
And all who cared to work and thrive
Did so fr0m sun to sun.
Again the demon of the lash
Spread Ger our lovely land,
Twas in the years OF seventies
It played its stronge st hand.
The backs of whites end blacks wer'
SCARED,
And even white females
Were dashed by Negro muscle
strong.
Despite their Piteous wales.
But that straw broke the camel
back,
/. The whipPers' doom was sealed,
And from that time the accursed la
or whipping was repealed.
Ia ninety-eight the whipping post
IT'S said will come again,
But this time women are left out
Twill catch alone the men.
Well guarded tits in most respects,
This brand new whipping law,
Which, il you read between the line
You'll See is meant 70 awe
The white man, net to whip his BAG
For loops are left fer him,
All in the river will be cast,
But he alone shall swim.
But in that river many snags
Are hid from human view.
They'll hang those whom you'd ha
escape,
Ne matter what you do.
Mark this pre- diction here set dow
Which doth not frankness lack,
That law was made for black me
but
Twill sting the white mans bee
