The Carrier's Address
TO THE PATRONS OF
THE DEMOCRATIC WATCHMAN.
Oace more the Carrier wends his way,
From door to door, this New Year's day;
And brings to all his Annual Song,
As, wearily, he plods along.
\ song ef peace it might have been,
But passion ruled the hearts of men.
The Old Year ends—the New begins
With sounds of War and honid dins ;
And all throughout the land a cry
Of anguish reaches to the sky.
The thundering cannon’s awful roar
le-echo’giack from sea to shore,
‘od Prac her dove-like wings hath spread,
And, shrieking, from the land hath fled !
I'he year of Eighteen-Sixty-Two,
In bloody deeds hath equals few ;
{ ient nation ever gave
ny brave sons to the grave,
As we, in two, short, little years,
Have sacrificed in blood and tars.
Oh! what a crime and grief and shame
Now clings to fair Columbia's name!
European nations scoff and jeer
And mock us with a bitter sneer;
They laugh to see oar Country hurled
(Which once could stand against the world),
Down to the depths of civil strife,
\Where brother takes his brother's life !
Ah, yes! the despots langh with glee
"To see the downfall of the Free!
Alas! that dear Columbia’s soil,
Which yields to all the sons of toil
Ier rich rewards—should e’er have been
"The altar for man’s bloody sin!
Alas! the widow's dismal groans !
Alas! the dying soldier's moans !
Alas! the orphan’s blinding tears!
Alas! alas! these bitter years !
Aud when will all this misery cease ?
When will the blessed bund of peace
A unite our severed land
North and South go hand in hand ?
Oh! what a happy, happy day,
When Love resumes her peaceful sway,
And Northmen say to Soathmen, “Cog !
We've bul one land, one hope, one home!
And
‘Then war and strife our land no more
Shall drench with blood and human gore;
But firm, united, ve shail stand,
A proud, unconquerable band ;
Aud, © rallying ‘round our liberty,”
We ll be the blest home of the free!
And all who fear a tyrant’s bars,
Shall bless the *¢ glorious Stripes and Suars.
But that day yet seems distant far !
Yet rolls the * thunder-drain® of war ;
Aud hire’ cach mountain, valley, plain,
The echoes thunder back again.
The bare earth drinks in crimson streams —
‘I'he children startle in their dreams—
And mighty hosts are marching forth
,
; Lincony dreams in Washington,
About old Afrie’s colored son ;
though the white man starve for bread,
K-nyed darkey must be fed !
vail La
ckest critne ! could any pen
Record a baser act of men,
Who for the rake of Afric’s race,
Have plang ed ug in this deep disgrace ?
The Umon soldier bleeds in vain—
His lite, {or naught, bedews the plain ;
in vain the Lloody batt le-ticld—
Ln vain the ghttering spear and shield,
While AponiTioN, rampant, rears
its cursed head through groans and tears,
And swears that, tHough the Union fall
The Southern slaves twill disenthral.
But let us not yet gnite despair,
For every cloud that hangs in air
Hath "round its edge a silver line,
Still borrowed from the glad sunshine,
So thus our * cloud,” though gloomy still,
May be illumined if we will ;,
Then let us hope and look before,
Unto the Sux of Sixav-Foun !
The dawning of that day shill be
Our liber ty’s best guarantee
For then Democracy’s brigh} sun
Shall light us in the course we run; -
And LiNcoLy and his craven band
Shall cease to vex our bleeding land ;
And once again PROSPERITY
Shall be the birthright of the Free !
And now, kind friends, I've said my say,
And, if you please, will go my way, i
Hoping that all may find good cheer
To help them through this sad New-Year.
Pray. don’t forget before I go,
A “@ vter” on me to bestow ;
"I'wX «id you to remember me,
And give you joy in 'Sixty-THRes !

“TRAITO'
Nine brisoners were released from Fort
Lafayette on Saturday. One of the priso-
ners was a boy of seventeen, “suspected of
disloyalty to the government.” In ordina-
ry and peaceful times we shall be told it
would have been quite absurd and even dis-
graceful to arrest a mere boy on sacha
charge as this. With all the machinery of
1aws, judges, jurors, sheriffs and jails, the
Country could have protected itself against
the disloyal plots 8nd arts of a boy of sev-
enteen. But ¥n the midst of civil war it is
neither safe, it will be said, for the nation
to put its trust in these protestions, nor
even in the equally orderly and well guard-
ed though more peremptory processes of
martial law within the field of actual mili-
tary occapation. Safety in such erises
ours , against boys of scventcen, can only
be secured by putting the whole area of all
the twenty loyal States under martial law
and putting every person beyond eighteen
years of age, against whom the mere sus-
picion of disloyalty is breathed, through a
process which is neither according to the
code martial or civil ; a process which con-
sists in arrest without s~rrant, incarcera-
tion without trial, liberation ww. *idem-
nity of exculpation. It is extraordinary
that the exquisite justice and the splendid
success of this process is not better appre-
ciated by the people among whom it is
tried ; that when a man like D+. Edson B.
Olds, now imprisoned in Fort Lafayette, 18
thus treated, the people of his district
(Fairfield, Ohio, ) choose him to represent
them in the State Legislature by the major
ity 1,500, a heavier majority Ly 700 than any
man of his party ever obtained. It is to be
feared that in Obio there is still a lingering
reverence for such obsolete and abstractions
as “‘liberty,” ‘the rights of ecitizens,’’ and
+‘due process of law.”—XN. Y. World

THE EMANCIPATION TRIUMPH IN
~ “MISSOURT-HOW GAINED.
fk, The Abolitionists are boasting of a victory
inlissouri. But it appears now that some
foul means were employed ‘0 biing about
the result. The following shows one of the
means by which the victory was gained.—
It appears that in each county are certain
Federal military officers known as assessors.
In Marion County these military assessors
issued a handbill npon the threshold of the
election, addressed to the people, in which
they say;
“I'he Sub committee of Assessment for
Marion County has been appointed by Gen.
Merrill, and the work of levying and collec-
ting will immediately commence:
«Parties whose loyalty has beea in the
least suspected heretofore, will now find it
very difficult to escape assessment, unless
they now show a record unquestionably and
unequivocally for the Government, snstain-
ing it in all i s measures for putting down
rebellion. To vote for men opposed to the
policy of the Government is a disloyal act.
Every such voter places him on the disloyal
list, and becomes a proper subject for taxa-
tion. You, then, who would escape taxa-
tien, must vote right on Tuesday !—A word
to the wise is sufficient.”
A Letter SkexiNG 11s AurHOR.~—The’
chief clerk in the post office, Harry Uhler,
Esg., bas placed on our table, a letter ad-
dressed to “Sergeant A. Wallace, care of
Captain Hallande, Fort Sigel, Winchester,
via Washington, D. C.’ This letter was
forwarded to the Harrisburg I. O. by an
officer of the army into whose hands it had
fallen. The Sergeant to whom jt is address-
ed, was killed by the explosion of a magazine
near Winchester, and as the letter contains
no evidence of the locality in which it was
written, nor of the name of the writer, we
thus publish its address, hoping that it may
lead to the discovery of both. Will om co-
temporaries publish this notice. and thus
assist in gaining this information. ‘I'ne wri-
ter of the letter to Sergeant Wallace, by
addressing a note to the Harrisburg P. 0,
can obtain her epistle and other information
in regard to Sergeant Wallace of great im-
portance to his friends.
