Williams and set out in the New York Evening
Post, from which the following are quoted:
The most sedate of all, and probably the first, is
one in which Paine extols "The Father of His
Country":
Should the tempest of war overshadow our land.
Its bolts could ne'er rend Freedom's temple asunder;
For unmoved at its portals would Washington
stand,
And repulse with his breast the assaults of the
thunder.
His sword from the sleep
Of its scabbard would leap,
And conduct with its point every flash to the deep!
For ne'er shall the sons of Columbia be slaves,
While the earth bears a plant or the sea rolls a
wave.
The jazz element enters campaign verse with the
candidacy of Thomas Jefferson. And we note pre-
figuration of "One Hundred Per Cent American-
ism":
The Federalists are down at last,
The Monarchists completely cast,
The Aristocrats are stripped of power,
Storms o'er the British faction lower.
Soon we Republicans shall see
Columbia's sons from bondage free!
Lord! how the Federalists will stare
At Jefferson in Adams's chair!
How foul-mouthed pro-slavery men grew in the
campaign of 1860, when Lincoln was a candidate,
is seen in the following doggerel campaign song:
Tell us he's a second Webster,
Or, if better, Henry Clay;
That he's full of gentle humor,
Placid as a summer's day.

Tell again about the cordwood;
Seven cords or more per day;
How each night he seeks his closet,
There alone to kneel and pray.
Any lie you tell .we'll swallow—
Swallow any kind of mixture;
But, Oh, don't, we beg and pray you—
Don't, for land's sake, show his picture.
The new store of Frank T. Hopfhauer, Jackson,
Mich., is receiving the evidences of favor. Mr.
Hopfhauer was formerly with Cable Piano Co. in
Detroit.
