The New Year.

DfEp, Of old age, on Sunday night last, at ?
o'clock the year Eghtcea Hundred Forty-Eighi,
aged twelve months.
Ono year ago, we chronicled the birth Of the
late year, which took the place Of is47, and car
ricd US along on the voyage OF life, until he too
has RIM his allotted span, The year that has
Just died, started with a mixed company Of old
aud young, gay and sad, sickly and rugged, des'
ponding and hopeful but with none tina, did not
expect to accompany the year to his close. They
al looked forward to the events of the year, and
TO its termination. with various feelings, views
and hopes. Youth counted the long days Of the
year with impotence for the time when the oee
of manhood would open to them MI the ripe
pleasures and Joys Of life. Others, who had
reached that goal Of anticipated bliss, found tue
promised happiness still eluding their grasp, but
saw beyond, in sore cherished object Of ambi
ton or pleasure, tie treasure which was to sat
isfy their every wsh and hope.
Others, again, Who bad passed these two sta.
aes, and Discovered what all must eventually
learn, that
Man nevc, is, but always 10 be best"
look with altered views upon the days that make
UP the year. Instead Of being tedious and long,
they now appear short and aeeting, and instead
of the perfect bliss that in the eye Of youth,
manhood was to bring, manhood itself now look.
back with longing and regret TO days of boyhood
as those whi,h they would gladly return to.
Infinitely various were the cherished purposes
and objects in view by those who set out With
the year 1913, and whose successful attainment
were expected to bring unalloyed pleasure; yet
who can say, even when the utmost wish has
been graiided, that the anticipated happiness ha'
been fully realized
We cannot forget that some among US, goot
citixeus aud valued friends, whose hold upor
| life in the commencement Of isis, seemed a
strong and firm as any Others, are not here L
receive the greeting Of the New Year, and with
out intending to moralle, it is appropriate Il
refer to it as Just occasion for gratitude TO tina
Giver Of all good who hath made US to differ
and who docth all things well"
To ourselves, personally, the past year ha
been one of almost unalloyed happiness, and W
should be unjust not to acknowledge that muc
of il has arisen from the gratifying conviction
that, a. the conductor Of public Journal, gu
efforts to inform and please have not been ur
successful or unrcquicd. We hope and trui
tina, nothing may occur to intcrruP, or mar tn
friendly relation that now sutsists between th
paper and its patrons. Hereafter, as Heretofore
the best efforts of its publishers will not be wan
ing to make ii a useful and entertaining con
panion for the fre-sde-and to each and all (
our subscribers aud readers, we tender the gree
ings Of the New Year, and cordial wishes e
their hanpiness and prosperity.

Isl Of December, mao lSo emigranI passengers
Liverpool for America. A violent gale arose
during the trip, and in order to ensure the safe
ty of the boat, the decks were cleared, and all
the $50 poor emigrants crowded into the fore
cabin, and the oompanion-way fastened down
tight. The consequence was that, though the
vessel outrode the gale, the next morning, when
the matches were opened, seventy-two, or nearly
half, of those who had been crowded below,
were found in the embrace of DEATH They had
persisted by that most awful of means, suiIoca-

opened is described as horrifying in the ex-
trcna. The Coroner's Jury have found the Off

FREE VoIcEs FROM THE SoUTH.-Speak-
ing of Senator Douglass California bill, the
Mobile Herald uses the following sensible and
manly language;
"The destiny of California IS to be free, and
we presume this destiny might as well be fixed
now as later. 1t may save contention in Con-
gress, from which no possible good can come to
the South"
The Mississippi Free Trader, in an article
upon Immigration and Population, holds the fol-
lowing bold language for one OF the constituents
Of Hangman Foote:
"Two hundred and fifty thousand men can
not always hold in scryie bondage three millions
of rational human beings The elevation Of the
race may be retarded in its progress, by the OBJ
stinacy and mistaken sclhshness of the few, who
lord it over the many but the triumph of right
and justice over wrong and injustice, is certain
in the end"
In Missouri, too the example of Senator Ben
ton has not been without its effect The Platte
Argus, Cass paper, insists that the whole West
should take ground with the North against the
extension of slavery, and adds
ave trust that the first act of the Missouri
Legislature, when it meets this winter, will be
the passage OF resolutions ins,ructihg our Sena-
tors, and requesting our Representatives in Con.
grcss to vote for the passage of the Wilmot Pro
viso andaise all their influence in its favor"
When such free speaking as the above is in
duged in, there is little to fear from notification
at the South.-BostOn Courier.

The Slavery Caucus.

On the evening Of Dec. 22, the Southern
members ofboth Houses of Congress were sum
moned TO meet in caucus, in the Senate Cham
Der In the Senate there are 80 members rep
resenting the slave States and in the House SO
Representatives. In the caucus, however, there
were present but GO members of both Houses
Many who were summoned declined attending.
Alessrs Benton, Mangum, Badger, Bell and Clay
ton were absent, while Messrs Calhoun aud But
Ter, and the delegation from South Carolina gen
orally were foremost in the agitation. A major
ity of those who were present, it is said, came
there TO check the others, who might be disposed
to commit the outrages OF insane men. MIR Met
calf Of Ky. was in the Chair, and Mr. Ncnablo
acted as Secretary.
Mr. Butler spoke first, and Mr. Calhoun follow
ed him in a strain Of defiance to the North. His
manner was as threatening us bis matter. Mr.
Toombs, Of Ga, replied to him calmly and sem
Hbly, urging that this no time for action
that there had been no infringement ofthe Con-
stituton, or of Southern rights, aud that nothing
need be done.
Mr.. Stephens of Ga, regretted that the meet
ing had beer called, and thought il would work
to the prejudice Of the South. lie looked upon
the Northern States, rs sister States, and his
Northern friends as brethren. Mr.. Tompkin'
Of Miss was for stern measures. Mr. Wood
ward Of S. c., and Mr. Wescot Of Florida, adyo
Gated an unylelulng spirit Mr Ienulelon VI
Va, characterized the call Of the meeting as i'm
proper and premature. Mr. Chapman, OF Md.
was opposed to hasty action and condemned the
meeting. Mr. Foote was as noisy and othciou
as he always is. Mr. Bucknor, Of Ky, fayore,
mild measures until there was some cause OF Of
fence.
Two resolutions were finally adopted to NEE
again on the 18th Of Jan, and appointing
committee to prepare a report for reconsidera
ton in the meantime Tho Southern Member
enjoyed only the benefit Of divided councils
which no doubt did much TO coo! down the ar
dor of their original design. As usual, MIR Cal
houn was the chief in the wgwam, and strongl!
insisted on the rights of the States. We do no
sec, nor does he, how these rights arc in thu
least interfered with in this case. Nothing In
been done that is not strictly sanctioned by thu
constitution, and il the Northern members avoi,
any similar gatherings, by which alone this spir

such men as represent the South Carohn
School, is shorn Of its rage, and too clearly re
veals its own impotence. The Union must b
preserved, and we rejoice that so many mel
from the South have not buried up all thei
manliness and patriotism in sectional feeling
or local pride. This event is the iorcrunnor q
better days. Notification at this day is hu, an
other name for nonsense. The friends Of Free
