MERRY OLD CHRISTMAS.

There is an old man whom all of US know,
With a merry bald pate, and beard white snow,
He knocks at the door, both of cottage and hall,
And right hearty welcome receives at them all,
This old man for ages has trod DER the earth.
With the same happy vgor, the same social mrth,
By the aged revered, by the youthful ador'd,
Aud flies abashed when he sits at the board
Now who is the jolly old fellow, pray!
Who is this jolly old fellow, pray7
Who but old Christmas, merry old Christmas,
Dear to the heart the TO the day.
Our forefathers hal'd him hail him now,
With the green leaves round his glad brow,
When smok'd the oak benches with good homeIy
fare,
Plum pudding, roast beef, stout October so rare.
He smil'd the which the bold yeoman show'd,
When the trenchers fli'd, and the foaming
brown fow'd,
And then as the cheer raised the mirth to roar,
Old Christmas laughed ont till his sides sore.
Who was the best friend of our fathers, prayl
Who the best friend of fathers, prayl
Who but old Christmas, merry old Christmas!
Dear to the heart as the sun to the day.
Good luck what mad pranks the old Joker has seen,
When the girls were entrapped meath the misletoe
green;
But why should envy the jolly years fled
We have eyes quite as bright, and lips quite red,
Our country is dear as it ever has been,
Where honor and liberty ever is seen;
Our stout manly hearts every foe Withstand,
And the world still confesses Columbia tine land
Then welcome old Christmas to every heart dear,
Welcome old Christmas to every heart dear,
Sing to old Christmas, happy old Christmas
with hearts bllshe and warm may he long find us
here.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.
SENATE.
Mr.. Jones, of Iowa. presented Resolutions from
that State, declaring against sectional agitation and
in favor of the Union.
Mr.. Borland introduced Resolution appointing
Messrs. Donaldson and Armstrong printers of ceR-
sus documents. Laid over.
Mr.. Shields moved to take up the resolution pre-
sented by him few days since, as follows:
ResolUed, That committee of three be appointed
by the Chair to wait upon Louis kossuth, Governor
of Hungary, and introduce him to the Senate.
The resolution was taken up.
Mr.. Atehison enquired if it would be necessary
for the committee to proceed to New York Phila-
deIphia, to fulfil their duty.
Mr.. Shields said that he was willing to modify the
resolution, by adding the words upon his arrival at
the Capal.'' .
Mr.. Walker of Wisconsin,, took the floor, and gave
at ilength his views in favor of welcoming Kosouth.
Mr.. Badger objected to the wording of the resoiu-
ton in terming Kossuth the I" Governor of Hungary.
The resolution of welcome, already passed, had not
used the term. He moved to strike the words out.
Mr.. Shields said it the custom for those who
had held Office to retain their titles in this way, as,
for instance, he himself was called &" General al
though not holding that Office. He had conform
ed, also, to the language of President Fillmore's
message
Mr.. Hale thought that plain, simple 81 Louis Kos
suth " was the best title. Governors are cheap
commodity nowadays, and plain title is much bet
ter than that of either " Governor" or 4" Squire"
Laughter.
Inc question on Striking out UoVeTHoI oI
gary was put and agreed to.
A motion then made, and negatved, to insert
the word " Governor before the words I" Louis
Kossulh."
The question being upon the adoption of the reso-
luton,
Mr.. Mason said, that although if he had been pres
sent when the resolution of welcome passed, on
Friday last, he should have voted for It, still he was
prepared to confer the honor-an honor which
had been extended to any foreign citizen in only one
single instance, in the whole history of the govern
ment-proposed under the terms of the resolution.
He viewed the object of Kossuth's mission as de.
signed to induce government to depart from its
long established policy towards foreign nations.
The question then put and the resolution adop
