TO THE PATRONS OF
THE DARIEN IIER ALI),
January l.<(. 1819.
Onc.moro wo hail the New-Year's happy birth,
Thwbrings the banquet nnd its social mirth:
One more for us the annual least is spread,
Tcl#tg unheeded that a year has lied ;
But’midst onr festive joy, should we but east
Onnhought upon the history of the past,
Orliuld we read Oblivion’s mystic page,
Or (ace the records of each buried age,
Noftiorc would joy, but grief our bosoms swell,
Foxtcenes on which ov’n memory dreads to dwell.
Yoir follows year, prophetic ns it tiies,
Habeas of warnings, warns the next, and dies.
Thqtnst for us, wc for the future live,
Andtnch succeeding ageita lessons give.
Thu empires rose, uml in their glory spurn’d,
Thewisdom which the past with death hud earn’d,
The gain’d the phantoms honor and a name,
Andfell bewilder’d, victims to their fume.
Sec -fiili wlint pride and splendour Egypt glow'd,
The luges home and Wisdoms own abode:
She are the arts and sciences their birth,
Andfpremost stood, preceptress of the earth ;
Whi) wondering nations listen’d and obey'd,
And reverend homage to her wisdom paid.
Butftarcethe dazzling summit had she near'd,
Sliejierish’d ‘neaththo glorious dome she rear'd:
An/mournfol gloom encircles Egypt’s brow,
Hennce-brigh splendour all is faded now;
Ant'low she lies, stripp'd of her gorgeous pride,
To future times a warning nnd n guide.
Gretec, too, forsook the arts her fathers taught,
Anilnightier fame in foreign conquests sought ;
Wiidom she spurn’d, nnd grasp’d the sword and
shield,
Andsought instruction in the battle field.
Witidecds of war her children’s minds she stor'd,
ArnJtaught thorn only how lo wield the sword ;
Regirdless she, how truth and science sped,
If ghn follow’d where Ambition led.
f inwards she march’d with slaughter in her train,
Her laurels red with blood of nations slain.—
Tliui flourish’d Grecee, and as by wav she rose,
By -ter she fell I—a1 —a slave to mightier foes ! - I
Wlnre next in search of Reason shall we go,
To Borne, the mistress of her age 1 Ah, no !
No nfts she nurs’d, no happiness she knew,
Savr when far o’er the world her legions flew;
Win her delight, the victor’s shout her joy,
Her bliss to conquer, glory to destroy;
Whrre’er she turn’d her arms, a nation fell,
To nark Iter greatness and her pride to swell !
Andfo the vanquish’d this the choice she guve,
Cliaiasor a tomb—submission or a grave/
And (lifs was human glory—but ’tis flown,
And Home lins pass’d, aud nil her greatness gone ;
Bhe HI, ns meteors full, and darkness cast
Her wide mantle o’er the brillinut past.
Age filluw'd age, nnd darkness still increas’d—
The urts were buried—Wisdom's voice had ceas’d;
And virtue fled —nor truth nor hope remain’d;
And IjjjtoraUec o’er the earth despotic reign’d ;
Justiceand mercy ‘ncath her feel she trod,' 1
And nun’s tribunal was the tyrant’s nod.
No annwus raised to check his boundless sway,
Till Hcnren in mercy chas’d the gloom away ;
Then o’r the darkness, light resplendent shone,
And trembling Ignorance totter’d from his throne;
His reign was o’er—down headlong he was hurl’d,
And PiiiNWU swayed her scepter o’er the world!
Airrof all arts preservative she reigns,
Shows man his rights, and breaks his galling chains:
The clouds disperse, nnd now the dawning morn
Proclaims to earth that Luteity was born. * * * *
The veil was rent—dumb oracles exposed—
The dreaming seer’s prophetic eyes were close’d !
And in then stead, the Prf.sm triumphant’shrin'd,
Freedom's palladium in the unfetter’d mind; —
Time sifl*iT*rtscourse—the Press still proudly reign’d,
Budc man lie free, and ult Ms right* maintain'd;
Wisdom’s glad voice in her an echo found,
And buried nations heard the hopeful sound.
Europe and Asia standing by her side,
Behold in her the freeman's hope and pride ;
But in Columbia she rears her dome,
And marketer choice as Freedom’s only home ;
Here, nurse! by her, a guide toother lands,
ThetreeofLiberty time-rooted stands;
And where her brunches wave, hearts proudly swell,
And bless the spot where freedom loves to dwell.
And long may freemen know, and kings confess,
Truth's only bulwark is the Fiieeuom of the Pitres •’
fcnnd of the hruvc, the happy, and the free,
America ! our second glance is to thee.
The bright exemplarof a distantvforld,
By thee fuir Freedom's flag was first unfurl’d,
Biest in tlty equal laws and fertile soil,
Thy hardy sons prompt are m War or tori.
Serene at bonne, in harmony abroad,
Let these few liumblelines thy merits laud;
Muy all thy children form one patriot hand,
And peace a#<i smiling plenty bless thy land,
Her gallant ships on every ocenn ride,
Her rich productions float on every tide ;
Where Greenland’s blasts o’er months of midnight
reign.
And bind i icy chums the foaming main ;
Mid Behring’s icc-bcrgs, Where the wolf’s long roar
Proclaims tlie horrors of each frost-bound shore ;
Or where Hum’s stormy Cape exalts on high
Its snow-clad rocks, the billows to defy,
There streams the star-lit flag, the wind.; to brave,
And rides, like conquest, o’er the wimery wave !
Where sun-gib India spreads her coral strand,
AndGanger's waters luve the lieauteous land ;
Where sweet Molucca breaths her spicy gate,
And spring-iike Java spreads each flowery vale ;
Where China’s sons, the oldest race of time,
Reap frugrunt harvests frotn each distant dime ;
There, metror-likr, to gild the summer sky,
America's ensign slvows it* star* on high 1
OrontheNJe, where gods and godling* swarmed,
Like flies tedife by summer sunslnue wormed ;
Where mighty structures, e’en in wreek sublime,
Proclaim tie glories of a nation’s prime;
There waves our Sag, and there our land is known,
Os wealth the mart—of enterprizc the throne!

Look forth on our own Georgia ! State beloved
Land of the rock—land of the storried river—
Laud of the bill on whose broad back bath roved
The hunter chief with bow nnd rattling quiver,
I, thinking of tliy*df and volliant men,
Could shout until thy valleys ring again |

The soul of song doth live in thair sweet tone# :
As pure and open as the limpid Waters
That leap beside them, are their heart#. Their zone#
Encircle all the lily holiness
Os earth and all of heaven— “more or lest!’’
Is there nobuhn to stop the waste of gore,
That dyes the sands of black Suwanee’s shore J
Is there no power to stay the hideous glare
Os midnight flumes mid howl ings of despair 1
Troop nfler troop, beat, foiled, or held at liny,
Find “Savage warfare” is no children’s play j
Not Southern chivalry r.ould keep the field,
And Yankee valor oft the palm did yield ;
See General Gaines with ancient laurels soiled,
And General Scott and General Jesst:e foiled j
Next General Ct.iNCH nnd General Eesms find
A host o( generals in each Redman's mind;
While general flights and general terrors show
The whole oat-gene rat'd by a savage foe.
Who are those fanatics that conic like silent waves
From Maine to Georgia—stealing Georgia's slavcsl
Philanthropists / Just Heaven ! Can robbers hear
the name,
Who steal and plunder, nnd pronounce it fame I
Shall Northern Abolitionists from punishment witlp
draw,
Then prate of rights, of justice, nnd of law 1
Georgia ! Thy thunders ! Have they ceased to roaf
Against injustice on thy native shore 1
Virginia I Arc the laws thy generous spirit made,
Asleep, while the North drive on their stealing trade J
Rouse I Rouse, ye States ! Vindicate your laws!
Smite, down the wretches! Crush their cursed cause!
Henr through our laud, of Misery the cries I
As if Pandora ail her plagues supplier
Hus Heaven refused to grant its annual store 7
Do fields und flocks impart their gifts no more 7
Does fell Disease her poisoned cup dispense,
Or linggard Wnnt steal o’er each maddened sense?
No 1 Nature still a liberal hand extends,
But man iris curses with her bounty blends.
The banks, tlie government, the vexing rule
Os politicians taught in mischief’s school.
The speculator, striving all to grasp,
While vampire usurers tlieir victims clasp 1
Vice and extravagance their reign expand,
While overtrading rages round the land! 81
Who speaks the truth? Who has the skill toyhoyf
The fountuins whence these bitter waters flow 7
Banking! vile banking is the fertile source
Os this fierce torrent, whose impetuous course
Has swept o’er every virtue, every rule,
And mude the wisest emulate the fool.
See mines unopened all their treasures bring,
While paper cities ‘mid the desert spring;
See poisonous swamps for rich plantations sold,
And worthless sands imposed for dust of gold )
Canals, like rivers, to all quarters run,
Projected rail-roads travel to the sun ;
Project on project fills each teeming brain,
And every head is crazed with thirst for gain.
Blest paper money ! Those thy glories arc,
While thy light wings, like, loensts, fill the air;
Blest banking! Nothing can thy power control,
While countless dollars from the press can roll.
Blest paper credit! Nought thy hands can tie,
While printing presses millions can supply.
But I must curb Pegasus. Patron kind—
I’ve sung my Nf.w Year’s lay—
My tinnuul gift: Please crack tlie sbeM; the rind)
About the kernal of thy heart and ope
Thy Parse ! Meanwhile (for this thoul't surely
I’ll spur Pegasus on a verse or two,
A picture of much beauty fills mine eye—
A picture of Domestic Happiness I
A wearied father playetli fondlingly
With little ones—by Heaven sent to bless
With their sweet prattling talk, and childish mijrth,
And laugh of music, Ids else cheerless hearth.
The father hath a cuity-.fteaded boy
Upon his knee—which, rocking up and down,
Causeth the urchin laughter, and much job
With some small fear—seen in the timid frowj#
Upon his smooth face—gone a moment after
’Tis visible—departing in low laughter.

To paint that room from looking-glass lo saucer!
Dear patron, I have drawn thy hearth for three /
By such a hearth, on winter's chilly eve,
