The New Year.

Time, who ever noiseless wends his way ,
has ushered in another New Years Day. The
year 1852 has fled forever. Many events Of
Importance are chronicled on its record. The
distinguished patriots CLAY and WEBSTER
have passed with it. The meteor, KossurH,
who dazzled for a time, no longer excites the
concern of our people. The last day of the old
year was as bright, beautiful, and pleasant as
could be desired, and thousands Of promenaders
of both sexes awaited themselves Of the occa
sion to enliven our principal thoroughfares with
their presence.
Turning to the day before US, it is one Of
pure resolves and of friendly and hospitable
manifestations. It will be observed, to great
extent. as holiday, and Of course thou
sands of wishes for a s'happy New Year" will
be interchanged. The PRESIDENTS House
will, as heretofore, be open between the hours
OF twelve and two for the reception of visitors.
The representatives of foreign courts, as well
as citizens of our own country now sojvurning
in Washington, we presume (judging from the
past) will be there to offer friendly congratula-
tions, and to pay their respects to the President
of the United States.
Many other distinguished citizens will also
keep open house for the reception of their
friends.
We trust that all may enjoy the day; mean
while, we offer to our readers our best wishes
for their present and future happiness.

fashionable madness in behalf of Uncle Tom.
It is circumstance not unworthy of consider

Of English opinion concur in pronouncing it an
exaggeration, and one that is calculated to en-
gender bad feeling rather than to promote the
protested object of the author. The rose-water

which, while bitterly anti American in most
things, have repudiated with emphasis the at

which only Americans are concerned The Stat
ford House movement retained but fractional
interest and importance when the leading jour
nails Of all parties repudiated it as an absurdlty
with which the people generally could have
no sympathy. True it is that the reputation
resulted from no loveof this country, and
from no adequate conception of the mul
tifarious bearings of the question of sla-
very; but it was timely, and may be useful, new
ertheless. 1t servedto bring into review the
thousand commercial reasons which Britain
has for cultivating good feeling with the Uni,
ted States; it suggested the peril likely to
accrue to Britain from meddling with the do
mestic concerns Of others; and, above all, it
exhibited the folly and the wrong of trayersing
the seas in search of objects of sympathy
while Britain herself presents field for the
exercise of justice and beneyoIence SO wide
and SO neglected.
The articles of the London Times on the
subject have been extensively circulated
throughout the Union. The more excu-
sively commercial press of Manchester and
Liverpool has been not less severe in its
structures upon our lady abolitionist and
and her arlstocratlc patronesses; grounding its
comments, however, mainly upon the business
aspect Of the question. We prefer to give the
views of the .Army Despatch, because it repre-
sents an interest in British society which may
be supposed to regard American progress with
ajealous eye. Considering this fact, the arti-
Gle we quote possesses more than passing sig
nI6cance. It warns the British people of the
result that must inevitably follow if the example
OF the titled JELLABYs be extensively initiated
Upon this point the Despatch tells wholesome
truth. It says, and says truly, that the Uncle
Tom mania jeopardizes the peaceful relations
now subsisting between the two countries; that
It is doing more than all other influences COM

duce degree of irritation on both sides which
