A Democratic Monument.

Build we a magnificent Democratic monument:

Let the pile historic rise,

Founded to immortalize Democratic glories gained,

In the fight so long maintained.

And contested with such vigor Against Freedom and the Nigger.

The materials must be Emblematic. Let us see Democratic trophies there;

Both its glories and its cares Relics left in its possession,

Previous triumphs of Secession.

All built round a central figure Of the Democratic Nigger.

First. for funds, the Nation's wealth. Stolen by secession stealth;

Orphans' patrimonies wrested: In Confederate bonds invested Northern debts and widows' mites Sequestered for Southern Rights-

With these build around the figure Of the Democratic Nigger.

Bring, for ornaments, the rings, Bracelets, amulets and things,

From the bones of heroes carved: Skeletons of Yankees starved.

While as prisoners confined- Let these trophies be combined,

To exalt the central figure Of the Democratic Nigger.

Jaws of blood-hounds bathed in gore Of fugitives they tore:

Nine-tailed whips of cords and knots, Shrivelled skin and blood in spots;

Bucks and gags and coffle chains, Rusted o'er with bloody stains-

Build these round the central figure Of the Democratic Nigger.

Bayonets and bowie-knives, That have let out loyal lives

Murdered on the battle-field- While for quarter they appealed-

Such the rebel triumphs are Of the Democratic war.

Let these glitter round the figure Of the Democratic Nigger.

Yellow fever. poisoned clothes To be spread among their foes.-

Fire-balls. destined to consume Northern cities-thus they doom

Women, babes, and helpless age To their Democratic rage

Let all these adorn the figure Of the Democratic Nigger.

Hearts of Southern heroes, taught By the nation that they fought;

Carefully by her maintained. Educated, paid and trained-

Dead to honor and disgrace, Give such rotten hearts a place

Near the leading central figure Of the Democratic Nigger.

But most precious in the sight, Elevate the parasite,

Whom we Northern dough-face, call, Meanest, vilest thing of all.

Let his slimy, traitor tongue. Craven, false and foul, be hung

Where 't may lick the central figure Of the Democratic Nigger.

Emblematic women see Grace the pile in their degree.

Take the mistress who has sold For a purpose known, not told,

Her own sister, far more fair Than her whiter self—the pair

Should support the central figure Of the Democratic Nigger,

Take for mortar to cement This historic monument.

Ashes of school-houses, where Negroes have presumed to dare

To be taught; and for their pains. Mix the murdered teachers brains-

Plaster these about the figure Of the Democratic Nigger.

Tears of ravished yellow maid, By her father's son betrayed-

Both her master and her brother; Foster son too of her mother.

Sated from his slave he turns, And for younger sisters yearns

Sprinkle these upon the figure Of the Democratic Nigger.

On the monument's broad base Democratic maxims trace,

Praises of assassination, Excuses for repudiation

Proofs the Union has no powers Against Treason when it lowers-

Fitting sentiments to figure With the Democratic nigger.

Infesting the monument, Last the party represent.

By repulsive reptile things. Charged with venom, armed with stings,

On foul slime and poison bred, Chief the loathsome Copperhead.

Stinging of the central figure Of the Democratic Nigger.

These are thine Democracy, Ripe fruits of thy policy.

Through long years of strife for power; Through rebellion's darkest hour,

Not one earnest protest made. Against all those crimes arrayed

Round the ever central figure. Of the Democratic Nigger.

What proud triumphs. that adorn Columbia, have escaped thy scorn;

Freedom's noblest victory gained The Nation saved, its faith maintained;

Against these. on every hand Thy recorded protests stand-

Fighting with such fiendish vigor Against Freedom and the Nigger.

Ever ready to decry, Doubt, defend, dispute, deny;

Never to denounce the shame Perpetrated in thy name;

Thou hast shown, by every sign, That this monument is thine;

Thine, this gathered infamy; Made thine own, Democracy

Thine, each shame around the figure Of the persecuted Nigger.
