The New Year.

So many articles are annually given to
the reading public by the editors Of the diff
ferent journals Of the country, on the expi.
ration Of an old year and the beginning Of
new one, that scarcely line Qke a fourth
Of July Oration) can now be written on this
subject, that does not appear to carry pal
pable show Of plagiarism. We have fre>
quently seen paragraphs of this kind full Of
moral reflections on the past year, and ems
treating all persons to look forward on the
future with intense anxiety to the welfare
Of that immortal spirit within them, which
each rcceding year places so much nearer
TO its everlasting dwelling place, be that
place the blissful abode Of the righteous, or
the horrible dwelling of the damned Cen
tie reader, fear not that we are about to in~
fict on you a scrmonizng paragraph,
be it from US. Sermonizing we leave in
its proper place-tbe pulpit; from which
every one so disposed can receive such in
structiJns 10 pursue moral and religious
path, as must necessarily prove Of much
moro utility than would all such random
paragraphs collected together, printed in a
volume and copied in every newspaper in
the world. We, however, view Ne10- Years
Dan as an oasis in the midst Of fatiguing
wilderness, which having reached, we rest
for short time our weary limbs and recruit
our strength ere we further pursue the jour
ney Of Life.
The past year has done us much good and
much evil. 1t has bridged us over that much
space and landed goodly number of US
upon the threshold Of ls45. Many poor
fellow dropped into the gulf as we came
over, but the hand Of Protection protected
us, and here we are, beyond the fears, the
cares and uncertainties Of the past, in no
wise subject to the present; and under the
influence only Of the .future.-Then come
on gentle and smiling New>Year. Thy

To The Citizens Of Orange.

IL is fact well known 10 you all, that
the drought which commenced early in the
spring, and still continues. will be produ c
tive of great distress among all classes
Of the community, but more especially
among the poor, whose sulIerings will be
without precedent since the settlement
Of this country. -.
My object is to call your attention 10
the only feasible scheme which has pre-.
scented itselfto my mind, by which we may
alleviate the suiierings that threaten oul
poorer citizens. If any one can propose
better plan, will most cheerfully yield
my support.
Let the Justices Of the County autho,
rize the Warticns Of the Poor TO borrow
money and purchase grain; say 2OOO
bushels of corn; and have il deposited in
differents parts Of the County, to sell in
small quantities to those who are able 10
pay, and 10 give to those who have moi
the means to buy. If the. Justices will
pledge themselves to lay a tax to repay
The money SO borrowed, no one that is not
entirely lost TO every thing like noble
and generous feeling, can possibly have any
objection. Many persons must suffer for
bread, if grain is not procured from abroad
TO supply their necessities. Many poor
man or woman would be able to raise mo.
ney enough to purchase small quantity
Of corn when placed within their reach,
who would not he able to send any dis
lance for it.
appeal 10 the best feelings of the hu.
man breast, to lay aside every selfish mo.
tive, and come cheerlully and willingly
to rescue the poor from starvation, and
to put morsel of bread into the hands oil
starving children.
The taxable property for the county Of
Orange is about l,90O,0 900 dollars; num-
Der Of polls, $500. 100000 at 5 cents
the 100, amounts to 8 $50. 10 cents
on $500 polls, $3.50; which will be suf.
ficient to pay the debt. Many persons
who partake Of this bounty will be able to
pay; say one half may be given away.
Is there a heart so cold, or an ear SC
deaf to the cries of starving children fol
bread, that they can possibly withhold this
small pittance from a suffering people!
