TheCampaign commences most nobly,The battle has fairly begun,And every new struggle proves doublyThat “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 featherWhen Freemen get into the scale.Every friend of our own “Gallant Harry,The Star of the West,” has declaredThe 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 valleyRing 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.”
