Nor care we aught for party names, But what we'll have is Liberty! For Freedom and Free Soil. For Freedom, etc. Too long we've dwelt in party strife'Tis time to pour in oil; So here's a dose for "Uncle Sam" Of Freedom and Free Soil. For Freedom, etc. Our Southern neighbors feel our power, But 'tis too late" -the cry's gone forth For Freedom and Free Soil. For Freedom, etc. Then let opponents do their best Our spirits to embroil; No feuds shall e'er divide our ranks Till victory crowns Free Soil. For Freedom, etc. They've called us "sisslers" long enough We now begin to boil, And 'ere November shall come round, We'll cook them up Free Soil. For Freedom, etc. Then let us sing God bless the free, The noble sons of toil, And let the shout ring all about, Of Freedom and Free Soil. For Freedom, etc. THE BAY STATE HURRAH. LINCOLN's the chief to lead the way, The fire by night-the cloud by day, Mailed in truth and strong in hand, The ship of state, with tattered sail, He'll soon repair her crippled form, And bring her safely through the storm. Hurrah! etc. The sable flag that o'er us waves, Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah! Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah! From Kansas' dark and bloody ground, To California's farthest bound. Hurrah! etc. Free speech LINCOLN will aye defend, And Slavery's curse he'll ne'er extend, He goes for Freedom's holy cause, Hurrah! etc. Then let us all, with loud acclaim, Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah! Repeat the chorus of a name, Hurrah! hurrah! hurrah! A name at which the tyrant quails, A name which every good man hails— Then rally, Freemen, for the fight, The right he'll own and bless the hand; Lincoln Lincoln ! Lincoln ! THE BOBOLINK'S CAMPAIGN SONG. BY GEORGE W. BUNGAY. [When the bobolink migrates to the South, he stops singing, changes his plumage, and is known as the rice-bird of Georgia and the Carolinas, and the reed-bird of Maryland.] WHEN I am at the sunny South, I dare not sing my mellow strains; Now Abe Lincoln--Lincoln-Lincoln So, in the clover meadows here, In the fair South-land I can sing : From the soft flower-cups filled with dew, Cousin Lincoln-Lincoln-Lincoln, Here are my best respects to you. May every man who feels and thinks Now ringing through our happy land, Fails, notwithstanding my sweet strains, I shall get, I'm "think-in"-" think-in," A coat of feathers for my pains. I can be chief musician here; And change the plumage that I wear. They have no bards nor bobolinks In the fair land where Slavery clinks Fall like storms of summer rain. THE CAUSE OF LIBERTY. Tune-"Watchman, Tell us of the Night." THE glorious cause is moving on, Our ranks now swell, our votes now tell, Each vote declares a Freeman's will; Soon Heaven's own gift the slave's will be, Tell us no more of Slavery's power, Then onward, onward, onward still, For years have Freemen bravely stood, With justice armed, they've kept the field, No threats or flattery made them yield. |
