Lockett's T0 PRESBYTERIANS., When they say that I'm disloyal, Just because I won't lay down, And be trampled by a Pidgeon, Or a Gandler or a Chown, , There is something in my make up, Which says plainly as can be, I would not be true to conscience, If I let them muzzle me. If such men obtain dominion, Over these to freedom born, For our civil rights as Britons We would soon be left to moura. You can lead a horse fo water, But you cannot make him drink, To those autocratic meddlers There should come another think, Forcing us to act of treason, Who gave them the right? And when? Will-we stand for rank coercion? = We will not--if we are men. it 1s cleric domination, Nothing more and nothing less, Spirit of the middle ages, Which has caused this union mess, What a farce to eall it "Union," Kellogg's What a hollow mockery, In a church whose pride for ages, Has been its democracy, .
