  The Campaign commences most nobly, The battle has fairly begun, And every new struggle proves doubly That “Buck” and his minions are done. With the East and the West linked together, Our candidates never can fail, For the weight of a slave aint a feather When Freemen get into the scale. Every friend of our own “Gallant Harry, The Star of the West,” has declared The coming election they’ll carry, For every true man is prepared. For “Protection” the party will rally, “Free homes for the homeless,” as well, Then we’ll hear every mountain and valley Ring forth to “Free Trade” its death-knell. For Lincoln the party’s united, For Hamlin the people are true, The watch-fires all have been lighted, As once for “Old Tippecanoe.” Then bring out the music and banners, The “fence rails” and orators too, And we’ll teach Loco-focos good manners, As we did with “Old Tippecanoe.” |
