THE DRUNKARD.

The DRUNhAkD-
The following. in imitation of the well known
Song of the SHIRT, has been recently published by
, friend Of our cause, and has met with extensive
circulation.
With nerves all shattered and shook,
With eyelids heavy and sunk,
A man, with a very unmanly look,
Sat tippling till he was drunk
Sip-sip-sip,
Mid singing, and swearing, and roar,
TIL his hand refused to visit his lip,
And his head inclined to the floor.
Drink-drimk--drink
While the ccck is growing aloof.
And drink--drink-drink.
Till the stars shine DER the roof,
Its oh, to be a hog
Along with senseless swine.
Where pleasure has neither scourgc nor clog,
If guilt, o man, he thine.
Drink-drink-drink,
Till the brain begins to swim.
ipk-drink-9rink,
Till the eyes are heavy and dim
Rum. and brandy, and gin,
Gin. and brandy, and rum,
Till over the bottle he falls asleep.
And dreams himself at home.
o. men, with children dear
O. men, with mothers and wives,
Ii is not liquor You waste, alone,
But precious and useful lives,
Your children cry, and your partners gricve,
But fail, alas. to save you;
While death and the devil laugh in their sleeve,
Knowing they soon shall have you.
But why do We work for death,
That phantom Of gristly tonel
And run to pcrdtion, till out of breath,
Lest Satan should lose his ownl
But Satan won't lose his own,
Because OF the feasts you keep;
Alas. that sense should be rare,
And souls be held so cheap.
Drink-drink-drink,
'Iis thirst You never can slake-
And what its frriitsl pillow of tho-ns,
A head disposed to achel
That shattered frame-this trembling hand
A mind confused and hazy-
Your character gone, and It's well il, anon,
You be not confined us crazy.
Drink-drnk-drink,
From airy chime TO chime
Drnk-drink-drin
1t serves to murder time,
Rum, and brandy, and gin
Gin and brandy, and rum;
But which is the greater-the folly or sin
Should day of reckoning comet
Drink,-drink, drink,
On long December night
And drink k,-drink, drink,
When seasons are warm and bright
Vile and inveterate habits do bring
Afetter proud reason resiriins;-
The swallow, free and elastic wing,
Twits the poor drunkard in chains
Oh. could YOU walk erect,
Who stagger from side to side,-
Regain your sclf-respect,
And cherish a manly pride;-
These base born pleasures suppress,
And nobler joys admit,
Feel as you felt you drank to excess
The wine that steals your wit,
Oh, could you, but for a while,
Pause in your mad career,
Consider your way and view yourself
As you to others appear
But conscience will scatter no flowers
In path to so fearful brink,
Reflection, of course, would bring you renorse,
And hence, you dare not think,
With nerves all shattered and shook,
With eyelids heavy and sunk,
A man, with a very unmanly look,
Sat tipping, till he drunk,
Sip.-sip,-sip,
As though he would never give DER,
Til his hand refused to visit his Ipc
o, that he would from his bondage slip,
And 90 and sin no more.

GFThe Green Bay Republican takes us
70 task for what we said, with regard TO the
defeat of Randall Wilcox, under the mis;a-
ken impression that he was defeated. We
said nothing but fact. The editor of the
Republican knows as we'll as we do, that in
all Mr.. Wilcox's connection with the Fox
River Hydraulic Company, there was nothing
whatever in the least degree censurabls in
his conduct; on the contrary, on no ndivid-
ual perhaps did the losses sustained fall hea-
vier than on Mr. Wilcox himself. There
fore the attempts of the Republican to ex-
cite prejudice against him on this ground
were unjustifable. This too, was the char
acler of the electioneering ON the part Of his
opponent which we pronounced unscrupu-
lous.
With regard to our inconsistency on the
Texas question, if the Republican would
confine itself to fact, we should be pleased.
Some persons can understand an honorable
motive, others cannot; and the latter class
are not very apt 10 give any person credit for
honesty if in the course of their lives they
see fit 10 change an opinion

EORGIA,
HAS WHEELED INTO THE DEMO
CRATIC COLUMN.

Notwithstanding the state elections thus
far have exhibited all almost unint srrupted
series q democratic triumphs, we were not
prepared for the glorious triumph which has
been gained over whiggery in the wing state
Our triumph there is complete ;
we shall have four certain, and perhaps five,
of the eight members of Congress; so far as
we have the figures, our majority on the po-
pular vote is l945, which will be increased
to nearly THREE THOUSAND by the
counties yet to be heard from. This state
gave Harrison majority of over eight thou
sand, and last year elected wing governor
by nearly four thousand. This state has al
ways heretofore been claimed and conceded
as certain for Clay. We think she may now
be considered certain for Polk and Dallas !;
and what is of more importance, it in1icates
that We shall get besides, Tennessee, Indi-
ana, Louisians, and North Carolina. So we

SOUTHPORT. Mr. X. N. White proposes
It sufficient number Of subscribers can be
procured, 10 issue work of Is or 30 pages
with regard to Southport, to be accompanied
each number, with well printed view OF
Southport, from his late beautiful engraving.
The work will be got up by gentleman
of the town, amply qualified for the task.
1t will be statistical and descriptive, and full
in all its parts. 1t will be just the thing for
circulation in the eastern country. Just
what every one would write who writes
homeland the postage will not be more
than one fourth that of letter. 1t will be
just the thing too to place under the eyes of
members of Congress, when seeking appro-
pra'lohs. The price is only Zone shilling for
each number, and as pretty heavy subscrp-
ton will be required TO justify the expense,
1t is hoped that our citizens will subscribe
literally. An opportunity will be offered
to subscribe within day or two.
