An Election "Ode"

♦ " Accidents will happen in the best regulated families," and from this universal rule even a model printing office enjoys no immunity. An accident occurred at this office on Saturday evening last (fortunately after the issue was worked off) by which a " forme" was converted into what is technically called " pye." One of our " devils," who had not previously shown himself possessed of poetic genius, availed himself of the opportunity to compose what he styles an "ode" in honor of Mr D. H. Macarlhur's election. We willingly publish the "ode," not on account of its poetical merits, but for the sake of its startling "originality." Its orthogTaphy is also unique, but your true poetical genius is no tlning if not eccentric. The " ode' reads .— O tempora !
