A New Year.
As this is the first paper wc issue in the
new year, it may not be amiss in us to
wish our readers, one and all, "a liappy
new year'" The close of the old and
opening of the new year, is a season which
always awakens both sad and pleasiug
recollections in every mind. Ivo matter
how elevated and favored an individual
may be, he has still momeuts and actions
to look back to, which cause him pain
and sorrow; and no matter how poor
and miserable, on the other hand, may be
the person, he has still many bright -pots,
to recur to, on which his memory can
rest, aud upon which his imagination may
revel with pleasure. These emotions of
joy and sorrow are more vividly called to
our minds at this time than at any other.
Wc are affected very much in the same
way by the passing away of the old year,
that wc are by the demiso of an old and
intimate friend. Both events tell us o!
the mutability of all things, and remind
us of our own approachiug dissolution.
We hhould not permit this los-on, so
fraught with instruction to go by unim
proved. It presents matter of the most
wholesome and important reflection. It
causes all persons to reflect more or less.
If wo but do properly, wc shall ever re
gard the New Year, as a happy period
in our lives.
The Hag of our Union
For the New Year comes out with new
type, a new dress, throughout, and a new
and elegant heading. It will continue to
give the same large amount of original
cr:d cutertaininjr sketches stories and
nnvtlltttes, aud fre?h spirit will beimpart
ed to its editorial department, which will
be as heretofore under the immediate con
trol and care of Mr. Ballou. Several new
and popular writers have been engaged for
the year, and the Flag will be improved
in all departments. The same care will
be observed in excluding from its columns
cot thing of an immoral or indelicate
r.ature, and no pains or expense will be
spared to make the Flag an elegant.

Two engagements with the insurgents

your name so familar to him that he will
think of you and your place of business,
as he docs of his boarding house, when
he is hungry. It is the same way with eve
rything & everybody who advertise exten
sively, u heir names become familiar with
the people, and are. associated in their
minds so much with goods and articles
of merchandise, that all who want what
they sell are drawn, as by instinct, to
their shops and stores. There is nothing
like advertising. If you do not believe
in it, try it, and be convinced.

Vj Judge Porter, at the late term
of the courts at Honefdale, charged the
Grand Jury that all combinations of
persons banded together by vows, oaths,
or obligations for the purpose whether
accomphVped or not of depriving any
citizen, whether naturalized or not, of any
right secured to him by the Constitution,
were within the cognizance of the law,!
and should be presenteu by them to the
court. He enjoined it as the duty of the
jurors, if they knew of any snch combi
nation, to bring those concerned in it to
justice. Of course, the Judge refered to
the Know-Nothings ; but the Jury seems
to have been ignorant of any such com
binations, and no presentments were made.
This is a new feature of the Know-Noth
ing question, thouh the legal view adopt
ed by the distinguished Judge will hardly
vegetate outside of the beuighted tenth
legion. It is simply ridiculous to assume
that any political movement, secret or
otherwise, whose instrument is the ballot
box, can be held injaw a3 violating the
Constitution of the State. On the same
principle the Whig3 of Franklin county
would be indictable for proscribing Dem
ocrats,as they did for ten consecutive years
by conspiring against them in caucuses
and conventions and voting against them
at the elections; and Old Berks will have
an awful bill to settle in the sessions, for
sue has been conspiring against and pro
scribing Whigs for a time whereof the
memorv of man runneth not to the con
trary. If the principle holds good in one
case, it must hold good in all cases: and
while we arc not a member of, or an a
pologist for, any secret society of any
kind, we can scarcely believe that any
unbiased jurist could blunder so com
pletely as to accept the law as laid down
by Judge Porter. Cfuzmbersburg Whig.

The Distress in New York City.
Front the JNcio York Express, of Saturday
Evening.
Immense exertion aro making by the
humane ,anibng us to relieve the necessi
ties of the poor in the city, and never has
there been more occasion for sympathy
and charity. Those who fare sumptuous
ly, who are abuudantly fed and clothed,
who are comfortably housed, and who
see their way through the winter without
any possibility of want, owe it to them
selves and their freedom from distress to
lend a helping hand to the poor. What
makes the distress more keen is the in
clement season and the absence of occu
pation. Work is begged forprayed for,
and sought for every where. Any kind
of work, for almost any kind of pay, is
offered, and must continue to be offered
while so many thousands of laborers are
out of employ. Almost the fcrst chanty,
therefore next to feeding tho hungry, is
to give work to the poor. Employ as
many mechanics as possible; use as much
labor as vou can afford to pay for. Give
kT
work to needle women. Buy your gar
meuts for houehold use and personal wear
for a long time to come. At present pric
es there is economv in tins. Ulotu is
y
cheap, labor is cheap, all kinds of wear
ing apparel are cheap; furniture is cheap;
all sorts of luxuries and fancy goods are
cheapt A house can be furnished more
cheaply now than for half a score ofycart
past, and the working men in the Park
arc upon the wrong scent when they abuse
the men and women on Broadway who
are spending their surplus cash for auj
thing which is the productjof labor. There
are two phases to this question: Ihe one
is extravagance, which is never comenda-
ble, and the other is the practical bear
ing of extravagance upon labor. If 8100,
000 is spent upon a dwelling, the great
bulk of it goes to pay for labor the la
bor of masons, carpenters, painters, stone
cutters, founders, plumbers, artists, dig
gers in the earth. There is stone to be
quarried out, sand to be drawn, lime to
be made, and the bulk of this is expend
ed upon labor. The capitalists are rich
men of the city, therefore, could not do
the poor a greater charity than by giving
employment to the poor; and the- must
do this to some extent or contribute by
increased taxes or otherwise to their sup
port
In the meau time, however, the wants
of the community aie most pressing.
