The daily union., 1854-01-03

Aud see what great events stand out
That we may briefly write about.
First, then, New Hampshiros gallant son,
Called TO the Chair Of WASHINGTON,
% March the fourth. in triumph borne,
A. President was duly sworn.
His great inaugural Address,
The . Hards' and Sofs" did both confess.
Was Of the true Old Hick'ry kind,
And nons could fault or blsmish find
His Cabinet. both sections said.
Would lasre their country shed;
Wise NANCY, in affairs Of State,
Would keep the restless nation straight;
Firm GUTHRIE, at the monsy.chest.
Defy tho Galphins do their beat; &s
Brave DAVIS. with masters skill,
The Army keep Ia better drill
The gallant DoBBIN soon impart
New vigor TO the Navy's heart;
The watchfnl CANPBELL send the mails
More safely over roads and rails;
The keon McCLKLLArD, not Inferior
Keep healthy complex Interior;
While learned CUSHING would expound
The law with intellect profound.
So truly though, both sections ihew--
So We think moio, OF these great men;
But soon "change came DER the dreams"
VI s"H0 to~ --"~s -. - r1>~AA. IL saauns.
Who sought more than the lions share
Ofloaves and fishes rich and rare
The Cabinet. they now protest,
Is nothing but Union pest
feeble, aickiy, puny thing,
Because not sheltered by their "oi~gP
And Bennett, Cooley. Foote. and Hale,
With other sai~ts within their pale,
Now rave and ioam, and swear and sweat,
To get another Cabinet!
As well. vain men, 60 bid the
Dissolve the planets ono by one;
As we'll command the bounding wave
No moro its circling shore to lave;
As we'll attempt to chain the " ind,
Or prison the immortal mind
The cabinet will firmly stand
United both in heart and hand,
While PIKKcE that honorcd station fills,
Unshaken ~ his Granite Hills!
Now let US seek another theme,
And follow fancy's wand'ring beam
A dark cloud In the southern sky
First meets and pains the anxious eye;
A fearful fever RACES there,
And Hlls with death the summer air;
The young and old, the grave and gay,
The rich and poor, are borne away;
Bright flowers. witherod in their bloom,
With parent-s,ems, drop in the tomb
While Charity, with aenious hand,
Pours treasure on the smttcn land,
And Knows, Ia deeds so truly best,
No North South, no East OF West
So strong bond 80 bright q chain.
Who sceks TO break, will seek In vain
Here would the muse in sadness cling
Ofged, graceful, modest KiSo,
And cast q garland on his tomb,
Ofbrightest and unlndng bloom
Not pure affections sweetest smiles,
Nor perfumed breath of sunny isles-
Not highest honors, called TO share,
Nor YET q loving peoples prayer
Could make his gentle spirit stay
Within its frail abode of clay;.
To purer realms it calmly fed.
And KING was numbered with the dead
While Peace is smiling on our land,
The Turks and Russians, hand to hand,
Are fighting with deadly hate.
And killing Mt q fearful rate
To say how this warfare will end,
The wisest cannot pretend
bat, Judging from tho news we hear,
The fates with the Russian Bearl
Well, Heaven blcn (pfay WEI the right,
Although the Turks s1ike dsptt fghfp
All Europe. sons Of these bright days,
IT'S sais, will burst out in blaze,
And then = genrai confagraion
May set on fire this Yankee nation
We'll, while we don't war desire,
They'd beuef not excite our ire;
For ifihey do, well give em beans
As JACKSON did al New Odesnsl
In Kosxta's case we took a stand
That won applause from all the land
The MARcY letter lays il down,
To every head that wears crown,
That those who our protection claim,
Shall have IL If they bear name.
No matter in what cline they be.
Upon tho land, or on tho sea !!
Some other topics OF The time
Invite a word or two in rhymes
The Crystal Palace, Latham's prize,
And other themes, attract The eyes;
Bot ey'ry song must have end.
And must this. indulgent friend
We think it fnl ume cease,
And let the Old Year rest In peace
Bat yet, kind reader, ere we part,
A few more words take TO your hearts
The Latham prize, we have been told
Give hundred dollars, all In soldD
Did not awake slnmbring lyrc,
Touched with the true poetic fire
Now here's poem full OF rhymes,
That surely would have won the "dimes'
1fmely sent to the Committee,
And labelled thus-s Unfow ditty
But though five hundred IL be worth,
As there IL now money-dearth,
You may have il, IL YOU'RE willing,
For quarter OF shilling;
And with IL, too, a wish sincere.
That each and ev'fy new born year
May bring you health, and wealth, and Joy,
And 'orstitng for the Carrio boy.
