Fragmented Ode to Cobb and Democratic Costs in 19th Century Debate

A garbled text recounts Hon. T. R. Cobb's campaign rhetoric and a quoted comparative statement on government expenses under Democratic and Republican eras. It references pension and interest costs, Civil War consequences, and various economic items. The passage also includes scattered notes on animal life, hunting, and lumber pricing, all muddled in OCR noise.
