JUJQITS TO Tills'
' V '
OF THE
C Alt ME Ml
OF
THE COLUMBIA DEMOCRAT,
TO HIS PATRONS
January 1, 1843.
An o tit r sun his run hit annual race, v
Chser'd nations with his bsana, caused many a faoo
To. wear tho smiles of youth; yet like thorn thoughtless run,
"Without remembering KIM, from whom their blessings corai'i
'
Were I to tell you all strange things that's past,,, . ; . ,
Since in my annual round 1 saw you last,
'Twould make you wonder, how such things teek plan,,
I this our land, among a christian race.
Dull times appear tho order of the day,
And many plead then in defence of pay,
Their honest debts; which too much credit-brought, '.
They now lament, too late their want of thought, ' J ,
Congress to whom all eyes Iook'd up for aid,
Spun out their time in useless talk of trade :
Two kindred souls, with noble spirits ired,
Resolved to show the nation they wera tired
Of life's dull cares. They call for arms, whiek
If rightly used, turn one or both to Clay.'

JANUARY,
A fi'cal agent, ah ! it must bo had.
For all well, know our cuireney is bad.;
And if we can by management and trick,
Bring forth a bank, which may be done quite sliek,
Were it not for that ugly odioua name,
Oa whioh depended all our hopes of fame.
Alas I the veto there's another bar, , - -,
But captain Tyler may not look so far. ., z

If he be stubborn and refuse his aid,
, "We'll order articles of impeachment made,
'To head him often wo have tried in. vain,
We as the last tosort, will him arraign;
And bring him up, before the senate's court
For daring differ from us by his vote
-FEBRUARY,

Te late elections claim a passing note,
In states where freemen elaim the right to vote;
Democracy, with sober second thought,
Has changed the scene, and by her votes his hrenght,
Another eet of men, to guide the state,
And bring us back to times when ws were great.
Our State, the Keystone of the federal arch,
'Tie hoped will bo in proper trim for March;
And claim the right for hei favorite eon,
To tit in chair of state, at Washington.
Columbia county, the north-western star,
Has acted nobly in the Punic war.
The issue joined, on points, remove or nay,
On counting votes, nine hundred more said
s 'll-Vvi. i .
yea.
This bein the truth, our friends can find no room;.'3Tf.; V;.. jylrtt
And now kind patrons, I must bid adieu,
To all the pleasures brought in
The ladies' smiles I gladly would retain
And hope they all, kind husbands may obtain.
As times are hard and specie very rare,
I'll tako good shinplasters, if you have to spare;
And thank you kindlv, wishing you may clear,
One hundred fold, be'fore the next NEW YEAR.
