OF THE CARRIER
OF THE
YAZOO WHIG,
TO HIS PATRONS.
JANUARY 4, 1912.
Last night, the Old Year, al,
Forever bid us all adieu;
And long before the rise Of SIM,
Came in the New YEAR, 40.
A good Old Year was al.
Mid all the bad deeds brought 20 view;
wonder when its course is run,
How deeds will speak for '42?
Old Al hath raised storm
In politics, the nation through,
But let US hope for much reform,
With this our New Year '42.
Through Al we've had to till,
From day to day OUT work renew;
The Farmer had to till his soil,
And so he will in '42!
The Carpenter to shove his plane,
The Smith his iron to forge anew;
All this in al the same
As must be done in '42.
Toll and care have each demands
On ev'ry man-whoe'er ne be;
Then murmur not-but hope that hands
We all may shake with '43
To-day the NEws-BoY once again
Presents you with bis yearly strain,
And simple tho that strain may be,
He hopes in every face to see
ltsWelcome openly expressed
As plain as on the eheet impressed.
The WOTdstbat now compose his lay;
0r s the Sur mid bright nOOn-day!
On the year now gone and past,
A retEospectiOn let US cast.
When the past year was newly born,
With Joy we hailed its natal morn,
And forward look'1 with hope to see
The nation all prosperity,
When ruled by him, the chosen one
The lov'd-the ViFtuOus HARRIsoN!
That hoPe, alas was hlighted ere
It's bud expanded to the air;
Fen the first passing April shower
Destroy'd the stem that should the flower
Have upheld in its bright array,
Until with fall it pass'd away.
Our Harrison had ta'en the Chair,
And all look'd bright and purely fair;
Yet scarce one little month had fed,
When he was number'd with the dead;
The grave claim'd HIM on whom relied
The nations veal !.-the nations pride!
Succeeding him thro' destiny,
John Tyler in the Chair we see,
Who promised then, whate'er betide,
To walk with us, aye, side by side.
His hand in confidence was taken
By those his treach'ry lett foTsaken;
But now on him the tables turn'd,
And by both parties is he spurned.
Mems hands to him no more extend,
Whose hearts throbb'd then but to defend
The man who promised to bear through
His predecessors ev'ry view;
But how such promise kept hath been,
We one and all have sadly seen.
Pinn'd to the skirts of one whose sway
! Insur'd him triumph ev'ry way,
| Throughout those days when freemen gave
| Their suffrages, intent to save
Their country from that sad misrule,
Extended by the Loco school
Der all the land this gave to John
The right that Chair to sit upon;
/ Where he to rule is no more fit,
Than in Neptune's car to sit,
Upon the surge's foaming steep,
Add wave the trident O'er the deep
Sam Ballenger elected Mayor,
Would fill as well our own town Chair.-
Promises why sam could make 'em:
TYLER like, too, Sam could break 'em.-
Sam is honest !-John's-bu then
Let's pray-God mend them both-Amen!
The Extra Sessions toll and care,
But left the nation nearly where
1t Yves ere yet plan was laid
To mend those faults that had been made
} Whilst jackson Ger the land held swaV.
And magic Matty own'd his day.
The Bankrupt Bill was pass'd, Ills true
The Land Bill also carried thro';
But what was most desir'd-a Bank
With Tyler's veto, down il sank;-
t A BANK-the question that elected
; Him to pow'r,he now rejected.
Vain were the struggles-vain the toll
Vain the cares and the turmoil,
Experienced BY Kentucky's son,
Who nothing spared that could be done,
To serve the country in such way,
As only could the palriots CLAY!
= McLeod.-that man of trivial name,
: Hath sneak'd upon the scroll Of fame,
By vainly bOasting of an act,
To do which, neither sense nor tact
n Fer dwelt within his stupid brain; -
: Such boast made o'eF and Ger again,
At length, Of course, (hOw could it fhiD?
Had laid him BY the heels in Jail;
: His trial came--he sav'd his head,
!, Retracting all that he had said;
: The Court then gave him his discharge,
And sufFer'd him 10 60 a iarge;-
We know mot where he went TO loafif0
i And care not il il be in Tophet!
: In England oil, tie little Vic.
FulhlI'd her promise vastly quick ;-
& Albert on his knee may dandle
