Show 102 Great speech at our democrat gatherin g, when Abolition was working its way with the men ~ Alack and alas ! that we live to relate How these Amazons gath ered together, Consulting e ach other, in sol emn debate , About loosin g the slave from his tether ; And gravely resolv ing your negroes to be Created like all o f us-equal and ji·ee. But think not, dear sirs, that with condu ct so base, ' The Uemocracy ' rested in quiet- No-it rose in its strength to redeem from disgrace The town , by a regul ar riot! And , surroun di ng the house where the mischief went on, llJieU. well the 'fan atics' with brickbat and stone. Through door and throu gh window our missiles went in , Disturbing the laces and trimm.in g- Oh, would that ' our dear southern brethren' had seen How 'democracy ' pelted the women! And had heard, midst the crashing of brickbats, its shout- ' I-lurra for the Union !-you women, clear out!' Yet, it grieves us to say, that in spite of our great And most patriotic exe rtion , These petticoat-traitors re garded our feat As merely a cause of diversion ; 103 And still they went on . To spoil' the rcla. 'Without let or disaster, twns of se rvant and maste r.' But, thou rrh foil ed . . T . ~ 111 Its effor ts t d . h1s bevy ofg . 0 nve awav ''.rl d oss Jp and bea uty ..
