CARRIERS ADDRESS
To the Patrons of the News
JANUARY 1, 1851.
Farewell, merry CumsruAs-nll hail the NEW YrARl
Most liboral patrons, wish you good chocrl
Kind, generous donors, accept Of my rhymes
mcogcr return for mclodlous dimes.
Yot swcotor the smiles Of approval that meet
And gladden. my pilgrimage through the cold street,
Moro words cln but fosby emotions express,
And woven Of thanks Is my Now Years Address.
Come, readers, comc-lct us together CLEAN
Tho field destroying Time OF late has mowni
pcrchancc tho torch Of Hope illumos the scone,
And wisdom from tho grave has runky grown,
Would Time permit to point the peerless dust,
From last years hccatombs of motley dead,
Macaulay- gifted genius, 'twcrc but just
To mention hrst us first his tones arorcad.
We ain would gazo beyond the cycles bound,
whoro Humboldt, Prescott, Irving, al lappoori
Bright galaxy Of fame, Berangor crowned,
Two worlds have drOpt for glory here tear
Return to Gales, tho veteran Of the Press,
with willard and with Bailey briefly dwell,
Nor weep for out-lawcd Walker to excess,
''Who since lifc's htnu fever slcopeth we'll"
Thy first divine oud advocate dcplorc,
Thou, Boston, spoiled in pulpit and lin bar,
Tho lips Of Rufus Chonte will move no moro,
And purker's dirgo comes walliug from uG,r.
'Tls wcI to pay tho tomb its tribute tear
TO mid the poor is better than to gricyci
What countless lives hang tremblingo'er thcblcr,
And mon but wccp while Angels would relieve.
(stoy not among tho pale dead throng
Mid tho damp and gloom Of the tccming tonib)
Heroic virtue, dwclls it not 'mong men
In force sufficient to engagcmy pen?
Ask England, France, old Germany to boot
The latter points I'm triumph to Kossuth. (io5hW
Behold Dickcns-marS Lamoratuo-
when was the mate to Goriboldi seen?
Nornecd we stray beyond our brilliant Holmes,
The Hurioras hcrc Ca matchloss r0luHe JloOmsi
Good fellows long and short the MUSES. WOO
Bravo Scott, Fremont oud Kit arc warriors true
While spaudiug and proud Perry spread their sails.
Out Vests a man who maucd some million r,ils-
Chase, Seward, sumner-statcsucn Hale and Wse--
Another will be clay be,orchedies
Here Greeley, Bryant, webb their forms do press,
There smooth deceptive priests a uoislo )ome mess
Yet don't infer a want Of christ1n teachers,
Forcv' ry spurgcou wc'yc a host Of Bccchcrs,
And half the Infants are prc.dcstincd preachers.
with famous women too the land Is Siowr-d,
Dix southworth, Greenwood, Cary, line the road.
Next comes the Bur-so fiji the gassos full
Though brief the horn that marks the bloojcd bull,
Yet legal calves require different saw,
And three "big druuks" give standing in tholaw!
The Bench Is ucxt, and hero ! would bo brief
OF judges all a Tuey wretch is chief!
A "ysibIc admixturo" here is clear
IIo, BrnkcrhoH aud Dickeyi do you hear?
Some Noble Doctors now my thoughts cspy-
OF "gentlemen and scholars you and
From men we pass the nations next TO scan:-
Old England st'll prctcnds to lead the van,
Yet with alarm discorus the swift advance
or Bon1parte the Third, alias France
Dior whilom foc-now rival and ally
Aud watches Russia too with jealous eye.
''The hairy parent born before all males,
Reveals to Uncle sam the prints Of whales
SO Darlington" amatron crudite,
Has paid the "Ncws" tho compliment to write,
Tho facts arc Queen Yic's son, Lord Rcntrow, came
To find it Democrats were wild or tame,
And trusts whom Europe would John Bull obato,
Young Jonathan will share his daddy's fate.
As when the flmc Of Isruel's wiscst king
Brought Shobus Q0ccn, so oms doth princes brinEi
With yowniug floors and insult rude and bold,
They also find 'Jhe half had not been tod.'
Hero Christian prince with Pagan princes met
Hero EmperoIs and Queens may mingIo yet.
Napoleon is not "pe,tsn any morci
Porcharce the cpithct has lct a sore,
Pcrchancc ON WatcrlOohe poudcrs DER,
And hears with hate the British lions roar.
He'd gladly drive the whcps2 from out their lair,
And to hi, end embrace the Russian bear
The latter likewise would accept with zost
A slice Of TrEey-thigh and wing and breast
(Napolcon's eagles might doyour the rcst)
Twelve million Christians call him to tine fcast
-Four million Mussulmcn to say the least,
Protest with Engond's aid for Indiu's sake,
Nor burst the hungry boarhis bI Key take.
Yet Alexander wisely fits his fleets,
The urgent wants Of his vast empire meets
He frees the sorfs, in Ieoco prepares for war,
For slaves make sorry soldiers thinks tho Gar.
Old Austria hugs the prestigo.of the past,
And struts on legs that yet may prove her Last.
Young Francis Joseph may The Ilapsburgs end,
Aswero the Bourbons by his namesese friend
And cousin, Francis second, Naples king,
Towhom Gaetas walls no comforts bring.
Great Guribaldfs brIgands hover near
And oyeruwe The brave Lamorciere-
Come Victor, valiant prince! Itallas hope,
Now Naples-Yenice next, and then the Pope
Forbcar, bold pom, wide DER the earth to roam,
Traverse once more the sea and land at home,
Yet not a single limo shalt thou retraco--
A Atamo gooso-quill must lead a wild gooso-chasc.
So float along beyond tho mystic Nile,
Alof then wing your weary way awhile,
Once descend into the sea that's Red
And writo if Livingstone be not stone deuH
Thcu mount tho very heeJost Arab stocd,
CTho Caliph keeps tlo pure Jerusalem brcodl
al o.. .H
Procure a camel Of 4Iuni there,
without delay to India next repair,
BY two white elephants OF Buddha's own
To Chlnaiu great state be swiftly thrown,
Aightat Tang-Whang- -sneoz- 3-keo-cheos door,
And swap your team for dny gods or morci
Though bulls may hollow and though frogs may oroa
Like opium and your gods, twill endin smokcl
Japan comes noxt, yet sooner comes tho DEN,
Aud steals your gods and turns yourself to steel.
Hoipre5ieG, the pen down to Australia drops,
Whore sands of gold disteud the pigeons crops,
Then deys beneath tho blue Pao'ho's wave,
And Of a swordhs makes willing slave.
1t rounds the capo, thon scudding near the shore,
Itskrts BraziI-the Amuzon's before
Tho FISH darts iu-thc pen proceeds to right
And scratches toward homo with an Cts might,
One moment pauses, Just to mark the spot
Where 'groy-eyed man Of destiny" was shot,
On Moxlcos rent border plants its heel,
And aourishes at Cuba's side Cts stooli
Arrived at length from whence we FIRST sot SAIL
Old Yankee Doodlel Hail, Columbla Haill
MY native land oh, thrio,blessed, bright abode.
Where Heavens choicest iayors are bestowed
Peace, Liberty and Glory mark thy road,
My native landl
Thy children ne'or can dwell from thee apart.
But oudly turn aside from Grocian art
To lnger on the soil that claims their heart
