Political Rings: A SATIRE. By p. CUDM;0KE, Esq. , COUNSELOR- AT-LAW. Autlior of the "Civil Government of tlie States and the Constitutiona] History of the United States, " the " Irish Republic, " etc. , etc. Poets of yore to Parnassus did wing — And invoked the muses to aid 'em to sing — Their themes often were grand and subHme. Some hke Dante hurled shafts of satire — Others writ of heroic deeds— chieftains and kings. My theme is corruption and pohtical rings — Politicians have form'd rings in... ev'ry place — And a Canal ring in th' Empire State. Eings in ev'ry county, town, city, and ward, — There was a corrupt ring in Tammany Hall. Connolly, Sweeney, Tweed, and their pals, Were indicted for corruption and fraud. They thought that their deeds ne'er would be known, For they controll'd th' Legislature and th' Courts. And although Tweed possessed millions, O'Conor and th' " Seventy " sent 'im to prison— 14 To rob Uncle Sam is a profitable thing, And in Washington is a Treasury ring.
