' ' THE NEW YEAR; ( Another vear has gone to swell "ihe tide of old eternity !" What . recollections crowd upon tho memory at 'this period! As we stand at "farthest end of the year," and g:zo upon the path o'or which we have passed, we find that a great change has been wrought-in u few r short months. As we look around for our friends, welVnd that-many who started with usTaftho commencement of the last year, (ull of hope and promise, havo sickened; and died, and now rest .secure from the trniihU-s of the world within the portal Vf ' the tomb. JIow mapy hearts Uavo been made clad uluiin tho past year, bulfch, " .. howmany havo beer, mado to bleed at eve. ry poro by ihe ruthless winds of adversity ! (Vet why muse' Vpon the past with sorre ! Though ths year Hun gone to blend with tHf mysterious tide " Of old Eternity, ant borne long . Upon its' heaving eaStVth'nd wrceks Of. fjlory and of beanty yet, why mourn That sue.h U ifrffeiitiny t Another year Succeed to the pant In their bright round The seasons come and go-v-llio same blue arch . That hutrf hang o'cf ift, w ill liana o'er us yet' The same pure stsrs that we have loved to watch Will UhHMJlirHili at twilight's gentle hour, "t... . Like lilies on the tomb of Day and still - Man will remain, to dream as he hath dreamed And mark the earth with passion. Love will spring From the lone tomb of old affection Hope, And Joy, and great Ambition, will rise up . As they have risen and their deeds will be Brighter than those engraven on the scroll Of purjed centuries" - "Tluwmany T6Td"anticipations of future success are indulged at tho. commencement of "litis year, that are destined never to be realized, and how many hopes that are to be blasted! There- are thtisw-who'have joined in the festivities of this new" year's ' day, whose eyes shall grow di.m in death before the .autumn1 leaves- fall, aye, even before the roses of summer bloom. May it be the happy lot of nil such to be pre. " prfred to 5' go forth to meet the Bridegroom at his coming." - ' 'We conclude with the following wish, ' which we cull from an editorial in an old number of the New York Mirror :" On the unopened volume of the, year the bright rays of hope shed a genial lustre ; and when it is filled, may the, cupnchlesg light of mercy be rayed over the leaves, gilding the darkest pages with a dazzling while. ness. May the old still trace the even lines of virtue they have traced ; and con-j scienceln regard to tLmirt well-tried diiU gence in farmer years, will permit them to leave awider margin of easo and rest Let the young man dip his. higLplunicd . quill, not in the pale waters of vanity, that vanish, from the" pnge as soon as they are dry, but in the enduring" colors of truth- and virtue. May every .sentence be inspired by honorable ambition, atid corrected by firm morality. And gentle maiden, for whom spring spontaneous the best auguries of our heart, thy writing would never err, if it, were guided by tho control of our wishes. May the soft hand of love hold the recording pen, and trace on thy fife book" nis richest, purest thoughls ; May every passage be smooth as the verses' of Waller, and as" bright as- the foam into, wliich the wings of angels dip." f - ' " ; WHIG VICTORY IN BOSTON. The Municipal election of this city took place on the 11th ult., and the Locofocos were routed Vhorse, foot, and dragoons" in every Ward but the Second and Third; . J .The vote for Mayor stood : v Brimmer !(Whig) -3,876 Savage (Loco) 2,241 Scattering ... .- -169 -- Leaving a majority for the Whig candidate over all others, of 2,466. Last year the Whig majority was 1 ,949 ; showing a net Whig gain since last year of 514. .The Aldermen are all Wliies. And out of 48 memuers of the,Common Council, the Lo. 'cofocos have only four!"-" ' OCT Mr-Rhett of South Carolina, a short time since, in the House of Represents. ... .tves, moved a suspension of the rules to introduce a resolution instructing the com. Tniftee of Vdays-end means, to report on the expediency of bringing i a bill establishing a 20 per cent, ad valorem tariff. The -Hottsen--whicfv let it bcTrnremb"eredi there is a Democratic majority of about sixty, refusetPto 8uspendj.tb.e rules by a majority of thirty tho vote being 77 for - and 107 against virtually' refusing to. re peal the " odious Whig tariff." v - V. L . : OmlDOlU. Mr. Tyler has ,heretifore conferred all his appointments upon Demo crats,' but since Whfts beeii repudiated by the Democracy, a change has come o'er the spirit of his dreams. We see that he has conferred ah appointment upon Mathew - St. Clair Clarke, the late Whig Clerk of the 'House of Representatives. -rr:-"'- THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CONTENTION, "Come rally round the Hickory tate, And vote for the Democracy." The great Democratic State, Convention assembled in the Hall of the House of Com. mons, in the city or Raleigh, on Thursday, December 14th, at 12 o'clock, M., and adjourned sine die, on' Friday night, the 15th. There was but one delegate ftom this district. The convention was fully organized by tho "appointment of Louis D. Henry,-Esq., President; M. T. Hawkins, Joseph Allisoti'SomueJ. Andj-ewa, and Walter r FT Lepke Vice Presidents ; and Win. W. Hotdcn and Wm, H. Buy no Sec rutaries. A committee of two from eadh Congressional .rJistrict was appointed to prepare matter for the consideration of the convention. As there was but one dele- ut fmm this district. Mr. Avery of Burke, Mr. Bustkof Wake was associated with him, on the committee,, Irrthe after, noon i of Friday the committee of eighteen made their report, which was unanimously adopted. We copy the report, interspersed with.uch remarks as present themselves t "The committee to whom it was'refened fore. Dort suhfecU proper for the "consideration and" oV tion .of the convention, having, far. as circum stances permitted, bestowed their reflection upon the duty thas assigned them, beg leave to report, that in their opinion the subjects proper for the action of the eonVention'consist in tiiimoniina lion of a candidate for the Democratic Republi can party fuj governor of the State, the appoint. inent ol two ut'jegaics to represent tne ,oiaie si large in the National Convention of tbe party, to assemble' in Baltimore in May net,, and in the concise and. explicit avowal of our principles ; and for the action of the convention upon these subject we submit to their consideration thMel lowinir Resolutions: . , "I. KeiuHeta, 1 nai mis convention, . counuing in the annul tied private character of Col. Miciu el Hoks. of Lincoln county, his, eminent ability and unfaltering devotion to .Democratic princi ples, noiuuiotliun as the candidate lor tne demo cratic party of this state in the approaching Gubernatorial election." x f ' ' , Wejiave it from good authority that Mr. Hoke is a Calhoun Democrat, and as a consequence, a nullifier. HoW do the Democracy of North Caroljna relish this nomination 1 Do they rentember that Gen. Jackson" saTdThirTftr-vCalhoun ought lo be " hanged as high as HamanT' If the old General, the ver quit.lessence of modern Democracy, ai such an exalted opinion of M r. Calhoun, what must hi have thought of his followers? Ye who profess such veneration for the opinions of the old hero, must mind how yOU"tread upon his loes in voting for Mr. Hoke. Little Matty is the old General's choiceTor the Presidency, and not Mr. Calhoiin; So, good. Demo. cratic friends, you mustn't make much noise when you vote for Mr. , Hoke, lest the old General should hear you, for if he catches you transgressing he might read you out of the brotherhood ; and you ka vytiat he says is law and gospel with 'mod ern Dernocrats. "3) Semlved, That committee of three be appointed by the President of the convention to inform Col. Hon of bis nomination, and re aucst his acccptcnce of the same; and further, that they express to him the hope of this convenl tlomhatlie will thoroughly canvass the atate. - "3. Kmlved, That this Convention approve the call tha. has been made for the assembling of a Democratic National Convention at the city of Baltimure on the fourth 'Monday in May neit, for the purpose of nominatingeaudidatea for the office of President and Vice-President of the United States, and that we will support, with be coming zeal, tho nominees of that convention." How unquallified nsTto principles. If the convention should nominate John Ty ler, with all his treachery tinrepented of, for President, and somebody efse for Vice President, tb&.Drocracy of North Curo- Una " will support' with aiiecomtng zeal,. the nominees of that convention. Prin ciples appear to be a secondary matter. If the nomination for' President should be conferred upom" Colonel Johnson, will! his o3iousK"bankrupt law principles, why 'they will support him, according to the above declaration. If it should be James Buch anan, an avowed Federalist and a tariffii?, he will command the jsamesuppor't. Verity the North Carolina p.erapcracy tiave shown theircolors id fine style. They will sup. port any man, if he should be nominated bythe National Convention ! This is modern Democracy. j . r "4. Retolved, ; That we hereby appoint Loois D. Hekkv and Ciuaia Fiaaca to represent the state of North-Carolina in that convention, leav ing to the people, in their respective Con ir res. sional Districts, .the appointment of the other delegates from this state to said convention." Harmonious Democracy! ;., Louis D; Henry is a violent Van Buren partisan, while Charles Fisher goes the Calhoun nullification stripe. Here is harmony cha racteristic of the present Democratic party. 'One deleg'ategoe to the .National Con venlion the avowed friend of Mr. Van Bu ren, while the other prefe;rsMr. Calhoun, Attd iL Mr.- Fisherfollows ithe example set by some of "his southern Calhouln brethren, he will not support Mr. Van Buren. Now who will the Democraifyof North Curb lina support for the . presidency ? If we are to judgsjfrom the proceedings of the State Convention, they, or at least some of their leaders, prefer Mr. Calhoun, yet they cannot boldlyxpress themselves on this point. They try "to please both the north aodrtVj south. I Glorious Democratic harmony. ) v "5. Retolved, Tha in trie opinion of this eon. vention, a National Bank, apart from the Consti. lutwnal objections l4 such an institution, is un. called for in tlie present state of .the country, either as a fiscal agent for the government or as j ... regulator of the exchanges, and is unnecessary to secure sound circulating medium) nd that such an institution would be. detrimental to our beet interests, and dangerous te the liberties of the country .i . ' ;, V i, J ' -i' -. This is just such a resolution as might have been expected from the Democracy. But the experience o years has shewn the utility of a National Bank, and it is utterly-) useless for those who have assumed the name of Democrats, to tell the American people that suclvori institution would ruin the country; WherT we had a United States . Bank K we had jhgi best circulating medium and the beat regulated Currency the World bos ever known. The United States Bunk has Wen put down, and what sort of a currency have we now r' Echo answers What! Experience Is the best of teachers, and verily the lesson which she has taught the American people, since the knell of the United States Bank was sounded by Gen. Jackson, has been a sad one. The country h.is been cursed by a worthless paperjyirjrency-the Issues of he Jlocal c banks, - which sprung up like mushroons in every section, of the country. These, banks, in the absence of a National Tiahk, became the regulators of the. cur. rency, and asad Jlvlhey made of it. . And these local banks, amounting to several hundred, were principally chartered when the professed Democracy were in power Does any one doubt thisf Let him search the records of the countrnd he will find that it s true to the letter.. We say that experience has shown thata National Bank is indispensably to the prosperity of the country indispensable alike to the best in terests and the liberties of our country; Both as fiscal agent for the government nod a regulator of the exchanges. And those who once bitterly opposed it, sick with the ruinous experiments tried upon the currency, are notf anxious to see tho establishment of such in institution, which would cause the return of that harmony and prjerjty-inlheromoreial andTnorn etary affairs which we enjoyed under such a bank. xThc constitutionality of a Nation al Bank cannot be doubted, and it is use less for the Democracy to aslert the con trary. - - ; . , "6. Retained, That while Wo art uncompro. inisinL'lv opponed to a tariff for protection, we are not the advocates of direct taxation to raise the meana wherewith to admimstor the Federal Go. vernment r that a tariff of duties, taidssiely with a view to the raisingf of a sufllcient revenue for the economical administration of the government. and not to afford bounties to a particular class or l-sTasses, is what we approve, and what we are at all times willing to support. v "7. Retolved, That we regard the Tariff act of. 1842, as passed in tbe main for protection and not for revenue, and that we are opposed, not on ly to the principles bat to the details of said act. A 'B. Keeoivea, mat in tne existing atate oi toe -P-iae Public Treasury, and an already large eni in creasing National Debt, the distribution of the proceeds of the sales of the pubjiq lands would be a measure as absurd as impolitic ; and further, that we deprecate the proposition made by some of our opponents, for the assumption of the Debts of the states by the Federal Government, whether - ,k r ,hT ,hti l.nrf. the same be propose Ldixectiy by distributing the .!(S. ,., ,.,i., J, i;,i i.,v a specific fund for that purpose, or indirectly by the ;.: . . 1 L ...: r : I . . mipnsiiiou ox uigu uuiiua uwn xurcis;ii iiii(wiB, with a view to the creation of a surplus, to be uivtaea." , - . ,, c-i It is strange that a party ..professing to M'nS l? be so consistent cannot make a betie, showing of it than the Democracy of North xt ..." Carolina have. Here they have committed themselves as fairly as ever a pajrty did in this world. Ty say that they " are at all times willing to support M a tariff " laid solel wilh a view lo the raising" of K"8iiffi. cient.revenue ror the economicaiydmiflis. t ration of the government.' and'that they " regard the tariff act of 1842, as passed Lin the main for protection and not for revenue." Now Iet,us see how they stand. The average rate of duties imposed by this tariffis estimated at 30 perent., and Pre;; sident Tyler tells us, in mis late annual message, that the revenue afforded at that per cent, is inadequate to meet. the current expenses of the government that there is now a deficiency of nearly $5,000,000 ihe receipts at50 per-cent.being- 818,; 000,000, and the expenditures for the last fiscal year amounting-to $23,000,000 Verily the Democracy of North Carolina have placed themselves in a very awkward position upon. the tariff question. - "9. Retolved, That tho Veto Power Conferred upon the President by tbe Constitution . of tha United states, is a salutary feature or that in strument, sanctioned by reason and experience, and that we regard the ruthless attacWmade upon it by the W hig party, as an attempt to change tne existing form of our government, in' order to se cure party object, and gratify ambitious and ex asperated party leadora' , It is but characteristic of the Democracy .tb?tlhejfthjMiliM of f onferrmgTlJini-eiieut. The list of contri. upon the 'PresidenUhe. .powerf thwarting the representatives of the people, in their efforts to better the condition of the couo. tiy. Witness howjhey lauded President Tyler focusing the veto power, to' prevent Congress from passing such laws as the wants of the country demanded. , . It is high time that this power should be limited. "10. Retolved, 1 hat the fine imposed 'n Gen,-, ral Andrew Jackson, by Judge Hall, ought to be refunded, with interest, unconditionally and without delay, as an act of justice to a brave and meritorious officer." v , , A resolution to refund the fine has been introduced in the House of Representatives,- and it is .easy to tell its fate there. Wh is it thafTiHe Democracy" manifest. surjh concern for the reimbursement of this fine 1 Wa are told that it ought to begone an act of justice to a brave and meritorious officer." But this hi not the moving prtn ciple. It is reward for his reckless, and arbitrary policy while President of the United States. Yea this architect in ruin is to be caressed by tnodern Democracy, for the evils he brought' upon the country during nis administration. Here Is a clear exhibition of that spirit of man-worship the Democracy pretended they could see in the Whigs, and which fhey so loudly de. nounccd. -Those who live in glass houses should be careful how theyjhrow stones, "II. Whereas, the attempt on the part of tome nt Mi, fwilitti.Kl ARnnnnnlk in AlilWDISHflt' the u. vh. j.....--. rr- 1 " A opi union or the jA)inocratio party upon me sua- iect of the State Banks, has made it necessary that the charge siiouior oe met ana repeuea, Molzxd thereart. That the Democratic party is not opposed to properly regulated State institutions, based npon a specie capital ami we repudiate tne charge that we are the advocates of an exclusive ly metalio eurrency, as gratuitous and unfounded. But the late disordered condition of the exchanges of the country baa convinced us that two'thlngs are necessary t secure the benefits, and at tho same time to avoid the abuses- of the system: Fint, such chapter obligaUons Imposed by the Legislature a will eoereetbe redemption Ol their notes, under a heavy penalty Secondly, ait Indi vidual liability imposed upon the stockholders for the notes which they issue; and further, that in future bo Bank ought to be chartered without these provisions and restrictions." vLet it be remembered that this conven tion was, without doubt, favorable -to the nomination of Mr. , Calhoun for the Presi. dency. The North Carolina" Democracy declare that they are no! opposed lo stale banks, while their favorite, M Calhoun, declares that upon the Democratic banner Is inscribed, among other things, " separa tion from bankt!" Here is a clash The fact is the Democracy have found out that they cannot deceive the people any longer upon: this subject. Heretofore the De. Lmocracy of the United States were opposed to all banks,' but the North Carolina De. mocracy are now in favor of ttali baokt! Verily wonders never will cease. This is an admission which we thj)ughtcould. not be extorteuifrom any portion, of the De mocracy.. Hereafter be it known that the Democracy of North Carolina are in favor of slate' banlcs. 'l Next step will be a Na. tiohal Bank. Mark it. " "13.
