FRIENDS AND PATRONS,

| visit you with the news this time on
day which does rot often come--one that i
set apart as the birth day Of Wsw Year
and as give you call in all seasons of th'
year, wet and cold, hot and dry, is It any thing
more than just, that should meet with the
generous gift of few hard dimes:
Then you with free heart and hand,
For the news bring from time to time;
Will please answer my very just demand,
And from your pocket fill out our rime
With few old Democratic hard dimes
I wish this New Year may prove happy
and prosperous one to you all; and that the
good wholesome laws of James X. Polk, will
cause more smiling faces than all the whig
laws ever created since the foundation of our
government. May our ship of state sail on
the smooth ocean of prosperity, causing every
one to be happy, is my great desire.
might offer an apology for not having a
an address in a different style from this, but
it will be unnecessary when say, the hurry
to get this paper to you this morning, pre-
vented it.
I now bid happy New Year to you, and
hope still to remain your humble,
carrier.

Post Office Report.

|
The annual report of the Post Master Gen.
eral has just been published. BY that docu-
ment it appears that since the new postage
law has been in operation, the revenue of the
department has diminished as per cent, and
that nearly 1000 post masters rendered their
resignation within three weeks after the new
law went into operation. .....
The Post Master General recommends va
rious alterations in the law-some very good
Others exceedingly bad. He says that
enormous frauds are committed under the
weight system-that one wrapper or envelope
(which accidentally broke,] contained 100
letters-the postage on which by weight, was
one dollar sixty cents by the single letter
ten dollars. If the system of charging by
weight is continued, he recommends that
quarter Of an ounce, instead of half shall be
fixed as the limit for single letters. He rec
ommends that the present law be so amended
as to establish the following rate on single
letters:-
so miles and under 5 cents.
Over so and under 800 10
Any distance over 300 miles Is
"These rates, he proposes to continue until
the 30th of Jnne, 1913, and then abolish the
Is cent rate, and restore the rates as at pres
cnt. He recommends also the restoration Of
the former rates of postage on printed matter,
giving the right to publishers of conveying
such matter out of the mails if they think
proper; also, Limitation of the number of
exchange papers which the editors may send
and receive free of postage, instancing the
fact that they are now from 100 to 1900
newspapers establishments, as proof of the
abuse which may be practiced under the law
as at present. Also, the restoration of the
franking privilege to the postmasters; and
that all persons who, under the old law, being
in the employ of Government, had the privi-
lege of receiving letters free, should have
that privilege restored to them. He also rec
ommends most strenously and energetically
the making the payment of all postage imper-
alive upon the senders. The report states
that there are estimated to be not less than
100000 dead letters returned to the Post Of.
fee Department quarterly; and, during tie
first quarter under the operation Of the new
law, 1000, the postage on which is lost to
the Government, as well as an immense
amount of printed matter which is never taken
out"

Mrsses. Webster, Dickinson, Dix,
Upham, Davis, Da, ton, " nd Ashley, presen. .
ted remonstrances against the admission of
Texas as a slave state.
The joint resolution from the House, for
the admission OF Texas, came up for their
third reading. Mr.. Webster said he was
opposed to the resolution, as he had been
to The admission of Texas a6 initio, on
grounds of national policy, being adverse
to the eXtention of our territory, and be.
cause it tends to perpetuate and extend
slavery.
Mr. Berrien, who, through originally
opposed to the annexation of Texas, ye',
as the faith Of the government had been
pledged by the resolutions of the last Con
gress, was now W illing to acquiesce In the
measure.
Mr.. Niles Of Connecticut, aud Mr.. Bagby
Of Alabama, both spoke in favor of the
resolutions.
The question upon the passage of the
resolutions, was then taken by ayes and
nays, and carried--yeas 81, nays l3. So
the resolutions passed, and now only re.
quire the signature of the Executive, to
give them he effect of law.
Mr.. Levy, of Florida, submitted reso.
luton, recommending that negotiations
be opened between this government and
that of Spain, for the acquisition of the
Island ofCuba, with the consent of the
Inhabitants.
On motion of Mr.. Benton, the committee
on Military Affairs were instructed to in
quire into the expediency of forming
corps of sappers and miners; when the
Senate went into Executive session.
On the 23d, both Houses met merely to
adjourn over until Saturday, for the pur-
pose of celebrating the Christmas holidays.
In the proceedings of yesterday, the
resolution offered by Mr.. Levy, OF Florida
will attract your attention; but il need not
startle you, as it is not probable that any
thing will grow out of il at present. But
the Cabans, am Informed, are very de-
sirous Of being annexed TO the United
and il is said the archives OF the
of State could disclose some
curious overtures of this sort, were they
ransacked.

Et peraeruzano, of the 22d ult., states
that by an express arrived at 2 o'clock
that afternoon, government had receiy.

that in consequence of the movement OF
the U. 3. troops, stationed al Corpus

to Metameras, and building bridges on
them for the transportation OF artillery,
Gen. Paroles had determined TO com.

readers will see by the letter of our Ha.
vana correspondent, that a rumor was
current in that city, that Gen. Paredes
had refused to advance to the support of
Arista; but with the 5000 men under his
command, had commenced his march for
the capital. This movement would dis,
credit his most recent professions to Gen
Herrera, and we do not give oredence to,
it.]
From the 18th 10 22d Of November, the
city of Mexico was excited by fears of an.

NEW YEARS DAY,

We issue our paper this week, day in ad
vance of the regular time of publication, so
that we may at least be able to ENJOY por-
ton of New Years day without toiling. For
some time past not many moments have we
spent idly, and thought that as this is day
Of general rejoicing, that we have perfect
right to cast in our might.
This the lst day Of January, 1916, we hope
will prove to be a time of great pleasure and
rejoicing with all our patrons; and as the year
progresses, may each be crowned with more
bountiful supply of every thing calculated to
sweeten this life. May the prosperity of our
glorious cause brighten and strengthen as
time rolls. This day the officers of our gov.
ment enter upon the duties of making laws to
guide us through another year, and as the
year commences, wisdom and conscience
should be los we believe it WILLY the principle
guide by which they will be governed, so that
good and wholesome laws may predomlnate-
the honor of our country be preserved-equal
rights and privileges prevail over all monopo.
ly, and the people In general made happy
From the sentiments put forth by our Chief
Magistrate, we have every reason to believe
so far as he and his aids can, all this will be
done. We are in hopes ere this New Year
passes, the many dark deeds of the majority
of the present Ohio Legislature will come
to light; and that they will meet with proper
rebuke from the people. May all our wishes
be gratifed.

ON THE NEW YEAR.

Another year! another year,
Is borne by time away;
Nor pauses yet his swift career,
Nor tires his wing, nor makes he here
Fen one short hours delay
But hurrles on, and round, and round,
The wheel of life is sped;
Unnoted of, until rebound,
Upon the car, the startling sound,
Another year has fed!
Whoever said its New Years Day,
With unmixed care or glee!
For hope still paints the future gay,
And memory DER the past will stray,
With sorrowing constancy,
Yet blest if they but there behold
The grave of well spent. days;
The joy Of gratitude that told
The tear, in patient trust that rolled
The Christians hallowed days.
Another year! so swift it flew,
We scarce had marked 1t ours;
Ere, fading from our backward view,
Tis but the past our eyes pursue;
Eternity's long hours!
IT'S New Years Day! the coming year
All blank before us lies;
Oh! may no blot or stain appear,
To mar its history written here,
When published in the skies!
IT'S New Years Day! how Oft have I,
While yet simple child
Made it the goal from whence to try,
That race to run, which to the sky
Can guide through Times dark wild.
The sky, that home of quiet rest,
When life's poor dream is DER,
Where spirits mingle with the blest,
And sorrow, In the aching breast,
Shall reign, shall rign no more!
