HON. ELISHA PIKE OF EASTPORT.

'TIS an honored name in Eastport, as you surely ought to know, If your memory or your reading will revert to long ago, When, with Greeley on the Tribune, or with Dana on the Sun, Or the giants then in Congress, long before the war begun, A Pike was making headway, in the front of Maine's great men. To the honor of our statehood that they've honored oft again. To the man whom here we've pictured, the old town has given pledge Of the faith she has in keeping—and she's never had to hedge— For thee times his party's named him as its candidate for mayor; Eight years of legal practice—of success the fullest share; And last season, at Augusta, on the democratic side, He upheld old Eastport's honor and he served the state beside. His the bill that stirred the people—Let the courts give us the facts The constitution and the Statutes—are they with the Railroad tax? So I take it as a pleasure just to mention, once again, That he has a zeal, in service, and an influence with Men.
