CARRIERS ADDRESS.
HAPPY NEW YEAR to all
eifs / greet with my call,
The friends of Democracy's STAR,
Sixty-six having passed,


SIxty-seven at last
Has appeared without even jar.
Let us treat one another


With the love of brother,
With me no resentment shall last,
rl l still will esteem you E
In hopes to redeem you
IF wrong at the present or past.


Friends do not complain,


Nor my business disdain,
But deem all my homage your debt
For my poor aching limbs


Are supplying your whlms,
Else long for the news you would fret.
My business is local,


NV music is vocal,
My calling is within my own county,
All the year bring news


Of the best can choose
And the carrier fees are my bounty.
Let us pass by the way


Back to last New Years day,
And note some transactions, since then
Many things [ am sure


Are so very impure
That cannot describe with my pen.
Pray pardon, my friend,


If my rhyme should offend,
Your pardon / ask, Ger and Ger
The truth must tell,


Be it devilish or well,
I'll utter no less nor no more.


] kept you informed


When stock -jobbers stormed,
All through the exciting election,
Many things they proclaimed,
OF which they re ashamed,
Which were said without proper reflection.
/ warned you of dangers


To which you were strangers,
But now you can see and not doubt,
These dangers were men


That | with my pen
Their crimes cannot half bring about.
Now will advance


By the rules of romance
And show you what have deserved,
For last New Years day


ANDREW JOHNSON they say
In his programme was very reserved.
But time worketh wonders
And men have made blunders,
OF which they are sick to the heart,
And ANDY was slake


His appointments to make,
Til his council advised him to start
He then with great pride


Did all parties deride
A wonderful change to produce,
Some said he's divine


All must bow at his shrine,
But from most, such received but abuse.
New officers made,


New papers were paid,
A Convention was held for conversion,
And | blush now to own


What should not have known
Many Democrats seeking desertion.
Bloomsbury you remember
Was distuI bed by number,
Who planned the Columbian net,
But now they all sigh


And falsely deny,
But they have not succeeded as yet.
Yet scarcely man,


/ say Democrats scan
Ere quite with It's snares you're beset,
No longer repine


But adopt this design
And break loose from this dark-woyen net.
Then don't in hurry


Subscribe In furry,
For the next one will be but chain,
To drag and distress you


They entreat and caress you
Teach them that base efforts are vain.
With Office expanded


Yet still they are branded,
The arm of affiiction' s not dead;
They repine not their lot,


They viii not be forgot
For the treachery within them is read.
As I've before said


We've experienced raid,
To corrupt the pure stream at the source
OF Democracy clear


As to all must appear,
They attempted to take new course.
will not rehearse


In my stripping verse
The crimes of their foolish career,
But ask the bold foe


In late battle laid low
To the beacon Democracy steer.
And wear until death


Pure Democracy wreath,
And in glory your form will appear,
And scorn the oft smile
