THE WORLDS FAIR !"

There is a saying, old, but true,
That every day brings something new !"
Which " Something" for il day will rage,
The wonder nj this wond'rous age
Thus old Joice Heath went through the land
And so did Johnson's colored band
Then Ole Bull; the swiss Bell Ringers
And NUMEROUS bands of negro singers;
Then Tommy Thumb, who kissed, near
Two million ladies in year
Barnum, the Great; Lopez, the brave;
Sweet Jenny Lind and Powers Greek Savei
All have enjoyed their length of days,
And all received their need of praise.
And now beyond III bounds OF ocean,
We'ves seen contentious and commotion!
A spot in london Vic selected,
A Crystal Palace she erected,
Where furious Frank and fiery Hun"
The Yankee and the Engishman,-
The Turban'd Turk, and Spain's Grandees,
East Indian and the Portuguese
Could all forget their ancient rage,
And in MOI e peaceful STRIFE engage;
Each rear aoft its standard high,
Each win the palm OF victory
The strife begns-the race commences,
And heer SHELTER over fences
and pushing, pulling, holding back,
Go all the wager-winning pack
And when the contests almost ended,
And when their strengths almost expended,
Then JONATHAN, before their eyes.
Just rushes up, and TAKES THE PRIZE
lie powed their land. and moved their oats.
And picked their locks and beat their boats
And told them that, throughout creation,
There's nothing like the anbee nation
Though some III distant lands would Dam,
They'd still sprnkling left at home. -
There's Webster, Clay, and Thomas Benton,
And many more that he could mention;
And works of Art-for something fine,

as they deserve TO be. Last week.. says that pa

shows the popularity of their position with the Noun

Clingman. The Editors say they " wish to spread
the great truths of Republicanism and Southern equal
ity as widely as may be the District and to ex
pose the insdous attempts Of the Federal party to
deceive the people by stealing the name of Union to
serve the false gods Of consolidation in. These idols
and denominations though gded, bedecked in the Pur'
loined apparel of Unionism, must and will be pros
trated by the Republican party Of this District Take
the News, and we promise far as we can, 10 make
smash of this rotten old hulk, this federal craft
which is impudently sailing about with false coor
at its mast head.'' ,...s.
