that, in that body, there is n minority

HAPPY New Ycar !-pS72.


With this salutation, we greet our
patrons and friends everywhere. 10
all we say, may this be to you year
of unalloycd happiness and prosperity,
md may tho dark clouds of advcrsity
never more ovcrshadow your pathway
through life, and may success crown
your every effort, aimed for the right.
Onco moro wo stand upon the
threshold of new year, with the ire
voclblc Past behind US, and an un-
known Future before us, the one to
contemplate, the othor to solve. or
the former, how much would VIC recall,
had we the power. May be, however,
it, is we'll for US that an All-w ise Crca-
tor has ordered otherwise.
Our sphere of action lies in the liv~
ing Present. With it we have to
deal. "Lct the dead Past bury it's
dead" Our line of duty lies before
us, and in the prompt discharge Of
TINT duty, no remains Of the past can
serve us, save the light of its cxpc-
rlcncc.
The year, upon which wo arc just
entering, promises to be fraught with
great ana important events, affecting
both our immediate solves, and the
whole country.
1t is but proper then that VIC should
prepare to meet the serious omer.
gencies that lie veil,d in tho future,
that we should buckle on our armor,
and march fearlessly to the battle of
life, confident in the Integrity of our
purposes, and in the noble resolves
that arc to bo the beacon lights of our
actions, remembering always that life
without definite object is the life Of
the brute creation, and not the dcsti.
ny of the sons Of God.
Let US not brood over the past. It
is forever gone with its sorrows and
mis!ortunes, and can never return to
US upon earth. It's sad memories, it
ID true. will over be present with us.
lhe remembrance of the past glory of
our country will bo always fresh in
our minds, and should serve to stimu-
late and invigorate us for tho rospon-
siblo work wo are now called upon to
perform. Our task is hoavy and Ia.
borious, but it is unmanly to shrink
from it.
We are not gifted with tho power
of prophecy, but we predict that the
year just begun will bring about more
changes in the present general charac-
ter Of this country, than like period
of timo has over before accomplished.
Many things, associated and intimate
ly connected, lead us to this belief.
Tho great National election thro'.
out tho entire Union is an event of
tho present year that is looked for
ward to with extraordinary interest,
as lta result will undoubtedly decide
tho destiny of tho nation for many
years to come, aud in the main solve
the political troubles that afllict us on
every side.
Grave questions of national polity
are before tho highest tribunal of the
land for settlement and adjudication.
Problems Of serious import to all of
us, and affecting our every interest,
arc awaiting the decision of the great
legal minds of the country.
In view of those all-important
events, wo ask of our people to rcmain
clrcumspect, prudent in their actions,
faithful in tho discharge of public du.
