ALBANY, Dec. %, ls4l.
sir:-or Sir james Gordon Bennett
Good morning. dear Sir James. title YOU deserve,
And if in England we're cock sure TO gain it
As areward for your great strength of nerve,
And yet It's wonderful how you maintain It,
In face Of ell, without finch" swerve
While press with unites, from envy of your fame
To crush your Herald, and bcsmear your name.
There's Long Nine, my bosom fread and rather likely
Blu, iamnably eu,bit,ercl to W ard on and yours
or all the pack his rs the fullest below
In " yelling" you, the prince of evil doors;
His gifts ere large in slang obscene and shallow
Which not harlot in her ear endures-
Though such are said the viiest thoughts to harbor
We see them here eolipscd by the State barber
But have thou mercy on him st-whieh "fsh''s more
Than Jove OF Pluto will have some time hence,
Unless he alters much fcom skin to
He fights Che says io freedom, but his tents
Are pitched the reddes gate OF hell before;
Midst iogs OF birthstone oior" black and dense
And there he soun1ly sleeps-say shall we wake hnf
Or let the devil have his due and take hint
The Boston council have been here
Dined wined, been toasted and gone home again
Well pleasel with their reception aud good cheer,
Aniwc Alhahians, proud 20 entertain
The men who represent city, ever dear,
The city OF gree, men, where letters reign,
Where Frankiins star arose, oni Wsrren's set,
where Freedom has home and champions yet.
bridge bridge ye Trojans, hold your tongue,
And let us bring the rail road DER the river
Your eastern trades olreadv from YOU wrunp
And soops and scows pas ing worse than ever;
So do We pray YOU" let bridge be flung
Across the Hudson; then wei call gu clever
And help torsze your biccks-Wapavr each street
And where you now are selling-so the wheat.
The Boston boys were treated quite politely,
shown round TO all The lions oithe place,
Attended by our Mayor and his SAN" unsighily,
(Who, by the way, is an egregious easel
By Aldermen with noses hesmng brightly
From what especial cause twere hard 10 trace

Or in the quick return Of all this thing, Bos,ng
Our Mayor made speech land Bos,oas ditto
Noulhnd them both reported In the Argus
The Yankees good, the Dutchman's only SO so,
But each delivered sans parade or fuss;
Alike rejoicing in the promised now
or benefits to one, and all OF us,
Which must arise from the great work now dome
Tha. links two cities. far apart, in one.
Already inland traders near this road
Arc pouring in to purchase grain and -four.
With cash in hand, they buy an engine load,
And oil goes at twonty miles an hour,
To meet the want in many mans abode
Where numerous mouths 10 nasticate a power
An hundr ed thousand barrels it is sail,
Are yearly wanted for their cake and bread.
From other places. hitherto obtained,
This large supply, will nov be sought for here,
And quite sum 10 the consumer gained

Our stock in store is large, but will be drained
Before the opening Of another year,
Unless some speculator, "a Ia Hart"
| Buys up the whole and gives the price start.
Yours, WALTER DRYDEN.
