CARRIERS ADDRESS
-.t OF THE
NORTH-CAROLIN STANDARD,
DECEMBER 25, 1866.

Old Christmas has come, and lot Us be merry,
But tell you beware of hot "tom-and jerry;"
In its taste, it is true, there is sign of sorrow,
Bot twill give you the deuce Of headache to-mor-
row.
What loose change you have will be better expended
If handed to me, and I'll be befriended;
I'll take it and thank you, and then wander on,
And leave you this sheet for you to ponder on.
The election is over, and Buchanan's elected
1t has all turned out just like expected.
The whole nation shook with terrible ague,
But Fremont is left, like the baby of Hagar,
Deep in the wilderness of freesoism,
Way down in the Black Republican abysm,
To explore, if he can, that rascally region,
Where rifles and niggers make up the religion.
And Sam" and his hosts have been all over
thrown,
They arc rcaping the whirlwind from the wind they
had sown;
Their oaths, grips and passwords, done up in q
bundle,
trunde;
And while by the gmm'ring of dark lanterns they
shver,
They embark, bag and baggage, for the head of Salt
River,
Bestowing on furreners their most select curses,
And wishing all Catholics fit subjects for hearses.
But the country is safe, and there are patriots
plenty,
perhaps they'll get Office, about one in twentyO
Who ask but for "pap" and place on fame's steepe
And then they ready to serve the dear people"
Our General Assembly is also now setting
And Matching out business without much offretting,
Notwithstanding some lungs very much like
bellows,
The members are mostly clever set of fellows.
Resolutions, memorials, bills and petitions,
With numerous provisos and divers conditions,
Keep up such clatter that one cannot wonder,
If every now and then they commit ight blunder.
I've noticed, too, when ladies are in the upper
story,
How all the youngsters try to wrap themselves in
glory:
o, then there is eloquence, fiery and distressing,
And the fair to the state far from blessing
For while the time flies her revenue is going,
Just to give the boys before the fair sex showing
Why don't General Gotten keep all these young
ones under?
I'm sure he can do it, if it cen requires thunder
Our City Fathers next appear upon the docket,
And in the way of taxes much distress the pocket.
I've nothing now to say concerning the protection
Afforded property, but it's food for reflection
Nor shall discuss of their hog law the merits,
But think them very selfish in the matter of speris
And all who reside within the corporation
! My song is ended, and that you may not wonder o
| Who it is that sings to you, I'll sign my name,

MR.. BUCHANANs RELIGIOUS VIEWS.

MR. BUCHANANS RELIGIOUS VIEWS.
The following letter will be read with eqnal inter
est by the friends and opponents Of Mr. Buchanan.
1t was written by well known clergyman in Phiia-
delphia in reply to note Of inquiry from New
York:
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. s, 1856.
Rec anil Dear Sir-Your note of inquiry was
duly received and I take pleasure in saying that
you were correctly informed as to my acquaintance
with Mr. Buchanan. the President elect and of my
favorable opinion Of his moral and religious char
acter.
L became personally acquainted with him in the
spring of 1872 in the city Of Washington, at which
time he was think, member of the United States
Senate; and when introduced to him, fonnd him
with Bible in his hand and our first conversation
;ras with reference to the divine authenticity OF that
Book, in which he most unequvocally expressed his
firm belief-he not knowing me to be clergyman
at the time. -"
Nv much loved father, now deceased, who knew
Mr. Buchanan most intimately for many years, and
who associated with him in the 9th Congress,
always spoke Of him a man of the strctest Chris
tan morality, and cherished for him an undying al
fecton.
Mr. Buchanan is of Presbyterian ancestry, andI am
informed that he has pew in each ofthe Presbyteri-
anchurches in Lancaster though Ibeeye that he gen.
orally attends the Second Church Of which the Rev.
Alfred Nevn d. d. is the pastor, and is said to be
very regular and devout in public worship. and be-
ing very catholic in spirit, he is accustomed to
ship with Christians Of other denominations when
opportunity offers.
have been informed by one of the settled minis
tiers Of Lancaster, that Mr.. Buchanan is believed
by those who know him best, to be Chrstian-that
he has hour each day set apart for the study of
the Scriptures and devotion-that he makes "Jay's
Morning and Evening Exercises" his daily compan-
ion, and that it is matter of wonder and regret
with many Of his intimate friends that he like too
many Of our public men, has SO long neglected to
unite with the church by public profession of his
faith in Christ. In conversations which have had
with him. he more than expressed with great
tenderness and feeling. his desire for retirement from
the duties and cares of public life-the importance
of due preparation for his last and final account
and his unwavering confidence in the gracious and
overruling Providence of Almighty God. That he
may have interest in the prayers of the pious
and that his administration may by just what might
be expected from his unstained moral character his
great experience and universally acknowledged states
manship should be the earnest desire of every truly
| patriotic heart.
have thus promptly answered. your inquiries
| and frankly communicated what know and believe
concerning chief magistrate elect. and feel
tirey justified in doing. because of the very ma
tural and reasonable anxiety generally felt con-
cerning the moral and religious principles of ono

The following exquisite poem, by William Pitt Palmer,
years pronounced by one of the most emf
European critics. to be the finest production of the
same length in our language:
From the quickened womb of the primal gloom,
The sun rolled black and bare.
Till l HIM n vest for his Eihiop breast
Of the threads of my golden hair;
And when the broad tent of the armament
Arose its airy spars
pencillcd the hue of its matchless blue,
And spangled it round with stars.
painted the flowers of the Eden bowers
And their leaves of living green,
Aud mine the dyes of the sinless eyes
Of Eden's virgin queen;
And when the fends art on the trustful heart
Had fastened its mortal SPELL
In the silveIy sphere of The first born teat
To the trembling Garth fell
When the waves that burst DER a world accursed,
Their work of wrath had sped,
And the Ark's lone few, tried and true,
Came forth among the dead;
With the wondrous CLEANS of my bridal beams,
babe their terrors case,
As wrote the roll of the storms dark scroll,
Gods covenant of peace
Like pail at rest on a senseless breast,
Nights funeral shadow slept
Where shepherd swains on the Bethlehem plains,
Wien flashed on their sigh the heralds bright
OF heavens redeeming plan,
As they chantcd the morn of a Saviour born
Joy, joy to the outcast man.
Equal favor show to the lofty and low,
On the just and unjust descend:
Fen the blind, whose vain spheres roll in darkness and
tears
Feel my smiles the blest smile of friend,
Nay, the flower of tine waste by my love is embraced
As the in the garden of kings;
At the chrysalis bier Of the worm l appear,
And 10 |! the gay buterfys WINGS

Conceals all the pride of her charms
Till bid the bright hours chase the night from her flow.

And lead the young day to her arms.
And when the gay rover seeks Eve for his lover,
And sinks to her balmy repose

In curtains of amber aud rose.
From my sentinel steep, by the nightblooded Deep

When the cynosure star of the mariner
Is blotted from out the sky;
And guided by me through the mercless Sea,
Though sped by the hurricanes wings;

The birds in their chambers of green,
And mountain and plain glow with beauty again,

in regarding Walkers enterprise with something less
Of sympathy and applause.
These developments of Walkers plans have been
seized upon by the abolition press, and paraded in
proof of conspiracy to sever the Union and 10 es-
tablish confederacy of the South, resting on the
basis of slavery, and embracing Cuba, Mexico and
Central America. The story is too ridiculous for Sc
rious refutation. Hitherto Walkers enterprise has
been less sustained by public opinion in the South
than in the North; and We venture the prediction that
his designs against Cuba and his jealousy OF tnIs
country, win provoke no less censure from the press
of this section than from the papers in New York
