JfANMfA MY I st, 11846.
Manufactured on a Machine, under lce benignant operation of the Tariff of 1842.
PRELIMINARY.
I.
Her we go it. chips and thunder !
How we'll make the people wonder !
Our machine ia greased anew,
And 'twill whiz, ' till ill it blue !'
Over the world and inlo the sky
Away .' away' the ideal fly.
SALUTATORY.
II.
Yv'e eome, we're (landing at the door,
With rhymes ten dozen linei or more ;
And cap in hand, are waiting, willing,
To take your smile and fob your shilling !
And aa a maxim 'tis, you know,
In every trade a quid pro quo,
Or nudum pactum is tin bmgain
(Thus much we know of lgal jargon,)
While we are pocketing the dimsa,
To you kind sir, belong the i hymen.
EXORDIUM.
III.
The Holidays are come again,
And Printer Boys are glad ;
To carry papers round for months
For nothing, was loo bad.
Yes, New Year day is here, hurra 1
The day for printing rhymes ;
And what is better still, to get,
The shillings and the dimes
Our budget's full of weighty news,
A thousand things or more :
That certainly have taken place,
Since we were lure before.
But we'll not stop to tell you all,
The wonders of the day,
,But briefly make our yearly speech,
And smiling go our way.
POLITICAL.
IV.
Talk is President, so all the world agree,
And so we jot it down for History,
reelected him, ive the Primer Boys 1
We fixed the ammunition for the noise
Didn't'tee set typee and pull the roller
And when the proof was dim give color?
Didn't we ' go it' on handbills and on squibs,
That gave His Fed'rala thunder in the ribs ?
. When flagging soldiers, wearied, half gave o'er,
Who cried, ' unto the breach dear friends once more !'
Who told the Public what they did'nt know,
'Bout things in Maryland and Ohio
What had been done in olden times in Texas,
And how the lines of Oregon would vex ui T
The Printer's Devils did all this ! and more,
Thin we could tell in years full half a acore.
Then through the land let Printer Boys rejoice,
And health to him they call ' the People's choice !'
And while the 1 spoils' are dished out to the greedy,
To Hunkers old whose coata have grown all seedy ;
To large mouthed men who talk in bar-rooms loud,
Andaraoolh tongued spouters who can please a crowd ;
Be ours ths merit still to work away,
Aud rhyme for all the world on New Year day !
V.
Jusl now at Washington, the papers say,
Queer things lake place a dozen limes a day.
Poor Pettil thinks they shouhJ'nl pay the preachers,
,'And Chailey Cook says Oiegon wants teachers,)
Hob Walkei cries the Tariff must go down,'
And Ritchie grinds the organ for the crown.
Kill Marry thinks his breeches now aie whole,
McNully keeps the money that he stole:
Judge Woodward walks down to ihe Federal city,
And Cameron is famous in committee !
The Sturgeon flounders with his fin and tail,
And still conceits himself a wondrous whale !
John Quincy Adams prates about the niggers,
And Allen spouts of war, and awords, ami triggers.
Buchanan gives it to the English. elsm .'
Antf spikes the cannon of poor Pakenham :
While Po.k, the biggest boy of all, looks on,
. And swears the English shaul have Oregon .'
CHRISTMAS.
VI.
Wve fopes of yarns to spin about,
The doings of the day ;
And dinners made of cake and krout,
On Christmas Holiday.
The German farmsts butchered swine,
The town folk look a ride;
The rich and wicked guzzled wine,
And we found ice to slide.
Our youthful heels went out anil back,
And round aud round in gtesj
'Until they touched a treacherous crack,
And then, oh ! misery
But wo'll not stop just hsre, lo tell,
The chapter cf our jrs ;
In brief, our head came down so well,
We are certain we saw stars !
Gome girls wiih Andy, Jack and Phil,
And half a dozen more ;
Tj Berwttk went, a whole sledful!;
Ibi evening before,
What happened there we cannot tell,
Because they've not told us ;
But we'll suppoie they cut swell,
And had a general fuss I
No doubt old Thomas biushrd about,
And the cook did wonders loo ;
No doubt the best lonrth proof sal out,
But nobody got blue.
We'l, back thee came, and Christmas morn
Dawned on the girls and boys ;
The topsrs took their morning horn, .
And the urohins got their toys-
Jingling (lis bells go up and down,
Along the merry stieet ;
And every face throughout the town
Is smiling that we meet.
But we cant tell the half we ought,
About thai wondrous d y ;
How babies bawled, and Welshmen fought
To keep their spirits gay.
How Noah went it on the loud.
And Ralston made the pigs;
II ow Clayton's bar-room had a crowd,
And Hiuton ran his rigs.
And so we'll pacs upon our route,
And end our Christmas lay ,
To give a word or two about,
The weddings of the day.
HYMENEAL.
VII.
What piping times' wo've had of late,
With Cupid that wild yon;h ;
Here's Polly, Mary, Ellen, Kate
Have pledged their faith and truth
To William, Philip, Joe and Rank,
Through all their lives, in troth.
Before the Rev. Mr, Blank,
An old grey Visigoth.
The Trintei's fee of wedding cake,
Was lichly rare and fine ;
We got our ihare of that, but boss
Monopolized the wine I
VIII.
Old John M. Niles is married to
A damsel of York State;
He's sixty if not sixty two,
And she's not twenty eight '.
In Heaven matches suro are planned.
For never in thit world,
So would we have a maiden man' J,
Or Senator so girled !
But these big bugs from Tyler down,
Pick for the belles and beauties ;
Who understand the ways of town,
And tomtfew household duties.
Wbile we poor scamps of backwoods fame.
Must catch what we can hold ;
And share our bed and board and name.,
With awkward and with old !
But we know one exception to
The ej nic verae above ;
And what it is we'll whisper to
The dark eyed girl we love,
OBITUARY.
IX.
When winter had gone with 'it cold chilling brea'.ii
And the spring flowers began lo appear j
The Hero of Orleans slumtered in death,
And a nition wept over his bier !
Ilia laurels undim'd, his virtues ronfesa'd,
And his enemies silent with shame ;
He lies 'like a warrior taking bin rest,'
Aud ho blot ou his glorious name !
X.
But another light has gone out in our ky,
Vioee radiance ne watched o'er long;
A patriot craft has found haibor on high,
And we've another great name for song.
Elliott the brave has gone down to the tomb,
Rich for aye in his fume and his glory;
No uiuio will his ear catch the cannon loud boom,
As on ocean it speeds to the foeman his doom,
But he'll long live hi song and in story.
Our children will read how with Porry the bold,
He fought on that glorious day ;
And every time that the ttory is told,
Tha matron, the stripling, the young and the old,
For peace to his ashes will pray.
PENULTIMATE.
XI.
Our lay is ended, and the flow
Of curious though! across the brain,
Suspended, placid, seems lo grow,
As if 'twould never flow again.

We eive below an extract from e letter
of this able writer, undsr date of 1 3 ih Dec
1845. to Ihe Editors of the Lancaster In
