pose Of protecting the lives and property Of

instance since the formation of the Govern
ment when any Congress went ont Of exis.

appropriation bills. He dwells on the embar.
rassment thus created. and recommends Con.
gress to pass an election law which shall Sc.
cure the perpetual existence of a full Congress,
4 SO that in case of emergency that body can
be called together without having any of the
States unrepresented.
+ Finally, the President recommends the con-
struetion of a Pacific Railroad; the reduction
4 of Government expenditures to the lowest
practicable point, and the raising of addit
ional revenue to meet anticipated deficiencies
not by loan but by an increase of the present
duties on imports. He refers to his last Mess
age for his views of the proper mode Of mod
flying the tariff, and says thatshis opinions
have Undergone no change since last year
The message is considerably shorter than

THE NEW YEAR.

1t has been a long established custom il
this country, among the Editorial Fraternity
to address their readers on this interesting
occasion, in some remarks or reflections, suit
able and appropriate for the New Year
What at first was considered, on their part
as mere voluntary and spontaneous effort,
has come to be regarded as an imperative
duty. The subject has so often been presented
in thousand various forms, that it is extreme
ly difficult. nay, next to impossible, to write
anything strictly neac, upon it.
The present seems to be an important stand
point, from which to survey the past, the
present, and the future. AS friendly greet
ings are exchanged, and innocent mirth and
hi!arity must and should abound it becomes
US with thankful and grateful hearts, to re-
count and acknowledge the many rich bless.
ings which kind Providence has showered
upon us, during the year that is past. Let
us consider, also, what progress we have made
in the cause of virtue. religion, and humanity
How many faults have we corrected How
many children of affection have we consoled
How many sons of Poverty and Distress have
we relieved? How far have our selfish ma.
fares seen rendered uHroIfaish
1t is very common to pass the usual compl
meut of tie season, 81 wish you Happy
New Year," All this is very well, and sounds
friendly enough. But did you ever reflect
what it is to be happy2 We have often heard
the homely comparison. GAS happy as clan
at high water" Well, if we were mere clans
we should necessarily content ourselves witt
their opaque enjoyment. But the truth is
we are social beings, and can only measure
our own amount of happiness by that which
We communicate to others; and the reverse O
this is equally true; the sum of our misery
must be in exact proportion to that which W.
have been the means of inficting on others
God evidently designed us to be happy; anc
if we are not So surely it is our own fault.
Secondly-The present is an suspicious oc
cason for forming good resolutions for the
future. And this agreeable duty should MOI
be lightly and transiently performed 1t mus
be deep and abiding, and be carried out into
active exercise, through all the future course
of our lives, if we expect to reap any beneil
from it. We are aware that an eminent poet
has said or sung Of man, that he
Resolves and re-resolves, and dies the same"
If this were universally true, then all pro.
jects for reformation were worse than folly
A wise man resolves and keeps his resolution
but foolish man is confirmed in bis folly
There are three resolutions which sound mind
ed men will saeredly keep. Flrst-To aid in
sustaining the cause of true religion. Sec
ond-To promote public and individual good.
Third-Io patronize and encourage the public
Press, wherever it is in sound and healthful
state. He who neglects this latter duty, will be
poorly qualified to discharge the two former.
In conclueion, we tender our readers, pat.
rons. and friends, the usual compliments of the
season. and wish them, one aud all, HAPPY
New YEAR.
