LINCOLN’S NOMINATION.

BY K. A. M.
Air—“Yankee Doodle.”

Arouse! my honest countrymen,

Throughout this mighty nation,

And let us give three hearty cheers

For Lincoln’s nomination.

Brave Hamlin, too, is qualified

To fill the highest station;

With “Abe” to steer, we’ll man the Ship,

The next Administration.

The Democrats are looking on

With dread anticipation,

And at us hurl anathemas

Of fierce vituperation.

Their broken ranks they wish to fill,

No matter from what nation;

We hear them say, “Good fellow, Pat—

You’ll have a situation.”

But when election day is past,

In vain you’ll search creation

To find the friend that promised Pat

Such great remuneration.

Republicans, then hoist the flag—

“No Slavery extension,”

And plant it on our Capitol,

In Abe’s administration.
