<h3>"GOING TO CANAAN!"</h3>
<p>Although the South is a poetic country, no bard wrote any
"Marseillaise Hymn" on that side. One of the few effusions bidding
tolerably for publicity was "Lincoln Going to Canaan," a parody on the
numerous negro camp-meeting lays in which Lincoln was hailed as the
coming Moses. This burlesque was laid before Mr. Lincoln, he taking
the grim relish in hits at him, caricatures and sallies, which great
men never spurn.</p>
<p>"Going to Canaan," he (is reported to have) said. "Going to <i>cane
'em,</i> I expect!"
