The candidates are ready.
The working Moss are now on laid.
The voters may get beady ;
So we most bustle round. you know.
And every rote be metes':
Get up and be. hustler.
Said the Camel to the Deacon.
I don't think that would be the thing .
You know It might miscarry.
And (hen ii's "in the soup' I'd be,
And Proudfoot mightn't tarry;
He'd jump en me with beth his feet
And do what any man will,
He'd slit my wirand. very neat,
Said the Deacon to the Camel.
Now liercon. have to lost your head.
Or are you only funning 1,
Tent you're ai,aid It you're found out
That Proodfoot would go gunning.
And Uft your'icslp off from your bead.
All gory and all reekin';
I (bought of sterner stuff you're trade.
Said the Camel to the Maws.
Oh ! Camel bold, you've got me cold.
When thus you do upbraid me:
It's mighty sudden. I'll take bold, .
NOW that you'll not gainsaid be.
Remember that in days of yore -
And 'Eighty -eel en can tell -
Round brave Kimall I made them sore.
Salt! the Beacon to the tamed.
With that they both bent down to work,
From door to door they berried.
And not one was slowed to shirk --
Each Tory vote was worried:
And none were to their Jedgemeat left.
And none allowed to weaken.
You're got to vote, or well be cleft,
Said the Camel and the Deaoos.
