This campaign song, with lyrics by Stephen C. Foster and his brother Morrison Foster, is sung to the tune of “Villikins and His Dinah.” The song supports the presidential candidacy of Democrat James Buchanan over Republican John C. Fremont in the 1856 election. Buchanan’s brother, Edward Buchanan, was married to Stephen and Morrison’s sister Ann Eliza. The lyrics of nine of the verses were published in the Pittsburgh Morning Post on September 26, 1856. 

“Ah! My Child!” is an operatic aria by Giacomo Meyerbeer with an English text by Stephen C. Foster. There is no record of copyright entry or deposit. The publisher’s plate number, 1230, and the location of Foster's drafts of the lyrics in his sketchbook suggest a date of publication in late summer 1851.
