Where Rhone a Washington, Begrimed with unioke, sits Jesse's puffing son, The cjotid-couipelling deity'vho rule His piebaid worshipers of knaves and fooln; A thing of accident, a bladder blown' ' By. favoring fortune, and her special own. BoorUh in mnnners, poor in iho't and speech, His pen and tongue below the critic' reach Stupid and stubborn, aforning all ndvicr, And selling office for the highest price, Sarin? provUion for his best of kin, Who, out of place and pocket, must go in. Gambler in gold and stocks by go-betweens, A pleasure-Keeker upon other' means ; v . A brazen bejrgar, with an outstretched hand, Ready for honsca, horJefT!os, and land ; Nothing amiss to hi unquenched desires, Little or big alike his creed inspires:' A cottage here, a broad plantation there, Down to a tavern bill or rail raid (are. Dull to hi country's honor or her shame, Indifferent to her interests or her fame, -So he can drive and drink and smoke the same ! No loafer need despair, nor satire want A fitting subject, while there lives a Grant. If such the thief, what then the rank nnd file The myriad mideriings, who snuff their spoil Like greedy "vultures hunting for their prev ? Their depth of degradation who can sav? Boldly they steal, harass, insult, oppress" The sons of toil, who vainly seek redrew. Backed by a ready soldiery they fear No check upon their infamous career. The courts are powerless. If disposed to make Some slight resistance, for appearance sake, The fiat of an honest jnde is met By gleaming sword and conquering bayonet. But few the honest judges. Even the Court Still calieujiij reme and of ihe last resort, Yhoe manihite once none dared to diwobev, When Marshall' massive logic held the swav, len Story'fc polished periods charmed the ear, And Taney made each doubtful Question clear. Now, crouching, trembling in its projer sphere, Waits for a higher jwer to interfere, And, careful nlv of its pay and ease, Siiapea its decrees the President to please. And whaTthe Congress but a brawling mob, A banded ring to speculate and job; Open to bribery, courting an advance Coqueltishly, its favors to enhance, Like practised courtezans; a lawless league For plunder by connivance and intrigue; Wide mouthed with fulsome cant of brotherhood And equal ri-hts for every race and blood, While given to drunkenness and beastly lust, And trampling constitutions in the dust, And wielding, in the sacred name of law, The vilest despotism the world e'er saw. O topmost shame ami wonder of the times! All language fails to indicate your crimes. The boast eii Capitol, whose lof'y dome .Vie- with the splendor of the ancient Rome, Whose marble floors at.il grided walls should he The home of statesman -hip and puri'v, Reels with the load of ignorance and -in. Slinks with the utter rottenness will. in. No more Virginia's gifted sons adorn Its storied halls, as in the nation's morn ; No more Ca:bo;in' rrphctiu voice explains The Consiiiuiion and i- rule sustains; Where Allies and Pinckney, (.'lay and Webster spike. Are heard the soneles quacking of a Drake; Morton, diseased in body and mind, Emits his poison to pollute his kind; Butler, the beast, alt decency defies, Hi- hruti.-h heart more crooked l-han his eyes; And JSumner, imbecile for aught but evil, Now plays the Puritan any now the devil. It more yon asklhe contrast to complete, Behold a negro in a Davis' scat. Sickened, we turn frcmrulers to the ruled Like mass and masters, save the crushed and fooled. As base and wicked, else why not asert Their manliood, and rise upward from the dirt And filth of their condition? Why not be Freemen in fact as weli as in theory ? Grovelling, debauched, depraved, thev onlv think Of monev-making and the dollar's clink : Wealth, by all means of fraudulent deceit In trade and fabrics, glorying in the cheat ; Poison in liquors, shoddy everywhere, Swindling in all we drink and eat and wear; l Hti'ie combinations to enhance the price Of stocus ami bonus, by every low device To cunning known, or to depress the same For purchase by the shufllers in the game. To break a sacred (r;ut. to bankrupt friends, To use a public fund for private ends, Defraud the revenue, or rob a bank, Gives to the perpetrator fame and rank. Fair specimen of bond and railroad trick, See Fik, the ei!dler, with hi coach and six ; For patent humbug, proudly by his side, See llclnitHilu roll in equal pomp and pride, While Chamberlain airl Morissey combine To furnish samples in their ecil line In conseqnenre and character, no more Nor less the difference than six to four. No matter if a city groan and liked, If marble stables can l e built for Tweed, And Connolly a fair division make Of public plunder for hi conscience's sake. None care for others' rights, or wrongs, or pains, So not disturbed in Jthcir ill-gotten gains. Willi thee they take their till of sinful joys, Indulge in pleasure whieh the health destroys, Through all the maze of vice and folly run. j Mix up religion, politics, and fun, i Asaociulp :ilik with Viripalj aiwl eirellj !

Scorned are all rules the wi-dom of the par.t Devised and honored. Furious and fast Society drifts onward ; all are free - To roam abroad with fullest liberty. TIw ties of family are cobweb threads, A frail moquito-bar for marriage beds. Husbands get tired of wives, or wive get tired Of husbands, by some fresher olject fired. Affinities are eay to he found, Desertions and adulteries abound. Courts grant divorces for the least pretence, Without investigation or defence ; Hence quarrels eonie, as raging beasts contend For lustful empire and each other rend. Suspicion watches, jealousy .iwakes, Then fell revenge its satifietion takes; And, worst of all, to corer shame and pride, Result untimely births, infanticide, Or base abandonmef.t to s: ranger's care Of offspring in the phrenzy of despair.

O Susan, Anna, Lizzy, Abby, all, Ye lecturers and writer, trrcat and small, Put on your petticoats and cease to bawl. Abjure the rostrum, lay aside the pen, Strive to be women, for vou can't le men.

Willi type and steam and lightning at command, Does it not flash and thunder through the land lis dread an.uhtni; at vice and folly ? O power misused ! O prosect melancholy ! The blushing muse, with anguish, mimt confess The worst of all corruption is the press. Behold the monthlies, weeklies, dailies, sent And scattered broadcast o'er the continent. Maik Well their contents. Here a mammoth Rheet Is fuil of chaff with scarce a grain of w heat. There silly, sentimental tales are found, And riddles and st de anecdotes alnnind, Runs a ml conundrum, rhymings wit I. out rea.v.n, And plates of fashion in and out of season. This is the lasting chronicle of news And gives it from the palace to the slews ; News from the avenue- and upjer ten Down to the alleys and the burglar's den ; News from the gay and fashionable resort, Sensation trials and police rejort Oh-sene, disgusting news, the eye and ear Of modesty should never si-e ami hear; Minute details of every violation Ol virtue, Uw, and m.uals in the nation, With which, f.tnuli iri.ed, the cur ou mind To test is baneful knowledge is inclined. That, fir a en or fifty dollar bill, Its spacious column readily will fill With grand descriptions of some private ba'l The princely mansion and the gorgeous hall, The tiddlers and the serving men emplored, The quantity of cake and wine desirovcJ, The looks of every pomjtous miob and swell.
