[From the Democratic Presidential Campaign Songster.]
'LITTLE MAC.'
" First in Peace, first in War, and first in the hearts
of his Countrymen"

By GEORGE! the soldiers swear, my boys,
  Old Abe must clear the track,
The people's choice is coming, boys,
  Hurrah! for "LITTLE MAC,"
Millions of volunteers, my boys,
  Our General's ranks are swelling;
He needs no drafted men, my boys,
  Our own GEORGE B. McCLELLAN.

CHORUS—Then swell the votes, then swell the votes,
  And sound the loud hurrah;
  Our General shall be first in Peace,
  As he was first in War.

Take home your Scottish Cap, Old Abe,
  Our man will hardly run,
If somewhere in the distance, boys,
  He hears a rebel gun;
For every soldier lad can tell,
  When we were closely prest,
Who proved himself on battle-field,
  The bravest, and the best.

  CHORUS—Then swell the votes, &c.

We want a different man, my boys,
  To rule the country's roost,
And he who's talked the least, my boys,
  Will likely do the most.
He's been an exile long enough,
  The people call him back;
We'll make the White House ring, my boys,
  With cheers for "LITTLE MAC."

  CHORUS—Then swell the votes, &c.
