The difficult question which for near three
weeks, occupied the sole subject OF dciberaon,
in the House of Representatives has been finally
settled by the exclusion Of FIVE members, com
missoned by the Governor Of the State Of New
Jersey, as entitled to take their seats in that body.
We do not enter into the question of the legal
right possessed by those thus rejected nor do we
mean 10 discuss the Consttutionalty of the de-
cision of the House, but we feel it incumbent on
us again to call the attention of our readers to the
nlomeAtous and periloas condition in which the
encouragement Of foreign Interference into our
political disputes, and struggles for ascendancy,
have at length placed our country and political
existence. This crisis being now passed, we can
not refrain, while Offering up the tribute of our
heartfelt gratitude to benehcent and over ruling
Providence, to call upon tho people and their Re
presentatiycs to pause and solemnly reflect upon
their duties 10 themselves and to their own coun-
try We ntreat all to ask themselves whether il
vernment can be expected to withstand many re-
petitions of such shocks, as that which it has
so recently passed? Whether they may hope
that the natives Of the and-the sons Of the Illus
trous band who poured fourth their blood, and
squandered their dear bought substance, in the at
tainment Of the privilege of governing themselves
by the enactment and execution Of their own laws
will much longer suffer that blessing to be snatch
ed from them by the rude hands Of foreign rene
gades
Let our rulers no longer hold back from the
good work Of applying remedy for the foul dis
order, Of which one Of the first and most bitter
fruits has been to sow the seeds Of discord
amongst one people and weaken the attachment
of at least one of the states Of our glorious Con.
(ederacy.
! Disguise the question as may-varnish i
over with whatever party gloss it may be suscep
ble, yet the naked truth stands out in all it's max
edness, that the violation Of the great principle
selfpreservation in the admission of the subj ject:
Of foreign governments to the right Of suffrage
here, is the one great cause Of threatening to dis
solve this proud Conlederacy into its original ele
ments. We are justly proud of our birth-righ
and Jealous of our Liberties. We will not wil
llngly share the one with strangers, nor tamel
submit to be robbed of any portion of the other
Knowing those rights which we derive from Go
and Nature alone, we will maintain them with a
the energy with which our Creator has endowe
us and we call upon all who love this as the
natiuc land, to unite and stand by as manul
until the Repeal Of the Naturalization laws---th
first wish of our hearts and the great object Of al
our labors--is finally and fully accomplished.

4 HAPPY NEW YEAR, FRIENDS.

With the commencement Of lsA0, we have no.
thlng particular 10 say to our friends and patrons,
but " happy and prosperous New Year" As
You all know, the close Of the old one has been
Tvery fierce. We think it well that it has been
so.-fol we fear some Of you were beginning to
forget that winter mast be felt, ere the wear could
close and now il has shown itself in its most
chilling aspect, let us entreat you not to forget
those who are not able to enjoy the proflse bless
ing of this world, but who are compelled to bear
tho wintry winds without the means of shielding
themselves from their blasts" Remember the
Poor"
AS the past year has not been SO prosperous TO
this conntry some would have had it, all we
can say TO you is, endeavor to make the best out
fit, by working harder this, and thus make up
all losses--if any you have sustained '.Pay
whom thou owest, If you have the money -
and let no man owe you,-if you can help it. As
change, with us, is very scarce, curtail your smaN
expenses, and you will not need much And, as
large money is ditto curta your large expenses,
and you will not need much of that. Be very
careful IN going out from your warm rooms into
the open air. Colds are easily taken, and the
consequences may be serious. Attend the Presi-
dents House, to-day, between the hours of 70 and,
| }3-if you choose--and feast your eyes on the
beauties of our Democratic Institutions. 1t will
do your heart good to look at the rich things of
this lile.' After that you could not do better than
to attend the Fair at Carusi's Saloon, and there
spend all the money you can spare-it is for one
of the most prase-worthy objects-and we have
no doubt you will be able to sleep better on the
first night Of the New Year, than you have done
for some time before. We merely throw out
these latter hints, supposing that many Of you
wish to know of some economical place for pass
ing the New Years day any other way that will
suit you better will please as well. But we
must not forget to tell you what, possibly, you all
know, that without the blessing and aid of HIM
who holds tile "waters in his hand,'' nothing can
be done. TO Him, therefore, let your thoughts
be directed in all you do ask and you shall re-
ceiye; knock and it shall be opened unto YOU"
With his meekness and charity, you will pass the
wear without bitter thought. And in conclu-
sion, If you do not get through this year with pro-
fit to yourself and honor to your country, it will
be your own fault for with every wind that
blows we receive news of the onward progress
of our great cause and with little more for
bearance and perseverance your parts and
iours, we hope before next New Years day to
announce to you the repeal of the Naturaliza-
ton Laws, and the onward march of our Demo-
cratic Institutions. Therefore, friends, we hope
you may all be better pleased with the events
OF the present, than you have been with the
past year and to help you on we again say, "a
I Happy New Year. friends

AN ADDRESS FOR NEW YEAR.

One smile the ancient gave, and passed away;
And glory blended with his closing ray.
The light was on the hills Of his last sun,
As with a solemn lush, his labors done,
The old year kissed the earth and waved his hand,
In one last, sad adieu. to sky AMI land.
Yes, he is gone--t'le gray beard scarcely old,
The warm year SO. now stiff and cold;
He rose upon our vision months ago,
The harbnger OF glad tiaings and of wo;
He scrambled o cr the horizon Of mans dreams,
And spread his banner DER the hills and streams;
He came o'erburthened with thousand joys,
With nations fears with lov,rs hopes and toys:
But he is gone-the withered leaf lies low, '..
The winds are on the hill tops soft and slow;
The birds no music gave--the earth was still,
When from the shadows of the eastern hill
A form was seen to rise--he stretched his arms,
Up to tho zenith where the sun heam warns;
How red his cheek, how purple are his lips,
And geld grew the waters which he sips.
IT'S 1910, newly born,
Child of the First Month--Monarch of the Morn
He neither smiles nor ftowns, but with an eye
Yelled in mysterious gloom, he passes by
Steady his gait--his hair as yet is black,
And huge bundle weighs upon his back.
Pedlar Of Fate-he journeys on his path
To shed sweet peace, or thunder forth his wrath.
Nations will hail him on their bended knees.
And monarchs yield him up their massive keys:
Beauty shall watch his coming from aiar,
And hope to win him with efiulgcnt star:
Youth will not flutter as he speeds along,
And Age will WOO him with an antique song;
Bat calm and slow the earth will feel his tread,
And echo sound his footsteps mid the dead
Onward and onward, Ike the rays OF light,
Sure as the Sun by day, the Moon By night,
lie w flee on and onward, Till his breath
Shall pant grow quick, and pass away in death
