The saturnalia of the Gazetteer, Emboldens him to introduce his strain. The past's record, the future's pioneer. Of style or length, pray reader don't complain, He'll not for twelve long months your ears so vex again. S'or his is not the Idle strain. To wake the reveller's joy ; Such to the triller, or the vain, Is fond and lit employ. Though hearts may warm, and happy cheer Gives mirth to thousands gay, His spirit mourns a barren year. Passed profitless away. Barren ? yes, barren it has gone. Hopes raised by Ibreign Lords, Prove, now the shallow mask's withdrawn, Mere aubteifuge and words. A twelve-month since, our hearts were warmed With hopes (if grids redressed j Butunregenerate, unreformed. More heavily they rest. Still rules the Bureaucratic drove, Slaves to that baneful den ; Our thoughts In idle circles move, The attitude slio bore. And free, a iinblcr slatt maintain Than her tyrants did of yore.

Thy institutions sage, They shield a land ordained to bo The Eden of our age. Why are you chos'n a model bright, For the world's admiring gaze ? 'Tis that your fathers judged aright A freeman's flag to raise ! AND are examples lost to us. So brilliant and so plain .' Shall we groaning 'noath our Incubus, Still a chrysalis remain .' Shall we forever led in stringn With timorous footsteps tread .' Nor spread to nobler flight our wings To follow where they lead .'

Btlll rules the Bureaucratic drove, Slaves tu that banerul den ; Ourthougiitslnidle circles move, Automatons, not men. Forgetful of our wrongs long told, The Lords of Downing street A vile foul system still uphold. Our pruycrs contemptuous treat. And thus our weary days are spnnt In useless bickering strife, While powerful neightx)uring states, content. Bloom rich with prosperous life. OUR SISTER PROVINCE, wedded now, To one of hair-brained deeds, Must don the widow's garb of woe, And long she'll wear the weeds. ■Tis a liason unnatural. Formed with Sir Francis Head ; But she'll not forever rest his troll. For " butler" and for " bread." Who sow in crime, in sorrow reap; And when her chains are riven, Like Mary she'll have long to weep, Ere her sins arc forgiven. How pitiful her politics ! Infatuation litrunge ! To fall the dupe of Tory tricks, . When thought is free to range. Perhaps 'twas ilone to prove the rule, " Each dog must have his day ;" For this puling Orange Tory school In no other place can stay. Spirit of Toryism ! around Kicked by mankind about ; Refuge in Canada you've found, And followers devout ! The Spartan sire before hiason His slaves inebriate placed, That he pollution's wilus might shun, Nor be in soul debased. So was enthroned this old world sprite, In Orange rags arrayed. That none else become her proselyte, Unthinkingly betiuyed. EUROPE ! our eyes still turn to thee, Our forefathers' birth-place ; As spirits in Elysium free, May view their kindred race Struggling amid a thorny life, In sorrowing, grief and toil, 'Oainst want and woe a daily strife, Of wearisome turmoil. Yuur glorious dcccU of olden times We'll strive to imitate, But not your (ollics or your Crimea, our prejudice or hate. Fair France ! of freedom, slave or lord, Abirth place and a grave ' How cringe t:) Bourbon Kings restored, That people proud and brave. Spain, drowsy Spain, has woke from nighl Of lethargy anil gloom, And gathering thousands, seek in fight The Patriot's crown or doom. Oh ! may she once assume again Btt what la now his recompense From tiio people ho has served .' Their gratitude is impotence ; Such the reward reserved ! While gathering storms o'er England lower'd When Peel's feared gang came in. Beneath his nhcltering arm they cowered Foremost in contest's din. But now the party's fixed in power ; No more it wants his aid ; Quite heedless, it forgets that hour, And promises then made. His voice a show of justice wrings ; They slight reiurms begin ; But these Whiglinga aro the hollowcat things All rottenness within. Rouse ! Ireluiu'., rouse ! nor longer bidei Despoiled of every right; What justice has till now denied, Would yield to craven fright. OF SCOTLAND, and of Scottiahmen, Enough willothers say ; For three Scotch muses lake the pen To carol forth tliis day. Saint \ndrew, whose set day by law Is chos'n for Scotchmen's yico, By some was drowned in usquebaugh, By some disowned in tea. The Saint cashiered, I grieved to hear. There where the tea was spilt ; I had thought he was the Highlander Who introduced the kilt. Pity that those who Scotchmen jeer, Can't learn the Scotchmen's sense } Like them for fortune persevere, And ioo for pounds not pence. AMERICA ! from out the north. We view thy fair expanse Of new born nations, bursting forth From their long colonial trance. When Europe's flags above you rolled, Childish and mean were ye ; Now you're erect in manlier mould, Ennobled when made free. What though amid the varied forms Of governments new framed. Some are convulsed with angry Blorms Of energies untamed. Ages to form a state we're taught The ancient world requires ; Experience is more cheaply bought When Liberty inspires. Whate'er may mar or dark your name In your struggling infant day, Your necks bow not in servile sbama To European sway. BUT YOU the first bom of the band, The free United States, Brethren, advancing hand in hand— The twenty six confederates.

While England's legislation sneen At capital embarked. What does the mother countt v gain ? A market fur her wares. A heavier trade should we maintain When ruling our affairs. Britain would be our furnisher ; A prosp'rous trade would thrive ; Each year would bring more wealth to her. Than now she gets in five. Had she not better cast us free, And cease the paltry strife ? Inglorious it is doomed to be. With pain and trouble rife. Wrangling and hate continue will ; Each year the bickering worse ; Wiser fates' sure decree fulfil. And sue out a divorce ! PATRONS ! I use plain language In my verse, The thoughts of thousands, though they dread toapeaki Who mourn la silence that colonial curse Which blights our prospects with its shadow bleak— Who feel ; nor dare emancipalion seek. I'm but an advanced picquet in the field, To lead the confident, or cheer the weak — The utterer free of sentiments concealed. To whose firm, bold expression, all our ilia might yield. ifJSCj^'^Sa'^SJWSJii 'CwSVCUU VSIA. V^i^33VVSJ^'SJWirj'
