Wo wih our readers, one nnd all, in ad vance, "c happy New Year." Ere another pa per is published from this ofiice, a new year uill havo been ushered into existence, and the old one. with its tbrns and roses, will havo gone to mix with the dust of dead :t"es. How hort the time appears pinee we commenced the present year; yet during its progress, how many eventful occurrence have taken place ! To some it has brought richns and honors; whilst to others it has mooted out sorrow and -adncs.. But it is ever thus, in litis changeable- world of our.; and the lesson should not be lost upon us. Time, unconscious of the will or actions of mortals, flics apace, nor stops to ee whether it brings good or evil to man in its I courie. i "How swift the hours that mark the seasons fiv, With all their deeds vast registered on high ! Still that stern tide flows on, where'er we be, "Whatever realm, or clime, or scene, we see ; From the first dawning of delicious Spring, "W'iih all its happy birds upon the wing ; From Summer's hours, and ripened Autumn's store, It bears us onward and returns no more ! Thrice happy they who well its lessons read, n daily consciousness of word and deed; With whom the law of kindness holds its reign, Soothing a world of sorrow and of pain!" Thursday last was very generally observed throughout the towns snd cities of the State. Owin" to ihe short lime which was allowed for the proclamation of the Governor to be circu lated, many, who live remote from towns, and take no newspaper, perhaps were not 'aware that such a day had been appointed. But now, that a start has been made, we expect to have a day, annually, set apart for thanksgiving and praise to oou, ..u i. u.di . u.c will not long remain ignorant of it.

It is highly gratifying lo perceive the firm hold which the patriotic doctrine of protecting the products and the labour of our country, by the means of Tariff regulation, has taken in she minds of our brethren of the West. This sound and true policy has now no firmer or more in telligent adrocates than are to be found among 'the gallant Whigs of the West. All the Whig 'papers, and we believe all the Whig people, of the Western Stales, are now right upon this great question and we frequently notice very able articles iu the papers from that section of the country, asserting and strongly defending , , r n . i r i i the principles of Protection. If those in the North who have heretofore profeed to be friendly to a protective Tariff, and wiio have openly and boldly advocated it, will only let the present Tariff alone, wc see no difficulty in preventing its repeal, r ,,,, P , , - i r i . i 1 ho following article is from a Iale number of the Indiana State Journal. , m Pcflph gQ mU migs f(jr R TarlJJ or shall it be abandoned to the Locofocos? 1 short summary oj Jacls I For some time past we have directed much of our space lo ihe dissemination of facts, as connected with the policy of a Tariff. Those I facts have established the following truths, viz i First. Without an adequate Tariff, by which to create a Revenue, tne support of the Federal Government must come in ihe thape of a di rect tax ftom the pockets of the People What this amount would be for Indiana, we have shown in another column Secondly. Without an adequate Tariff, the goods of Europe brought here as they will be, in i jfrfttf uf j,yt Wnl be Mild freely. As British Restrictions prr-mi: ihe bale of our products in I will create a foreign debt against us: thus bring back the past. And we havts demonstra ted lrow officidl documents that, in twenty-one years there was a balance of tra.de against this 1 country and in lavor of Europe, ol J WU liUi DRED AND FORTY-SEVEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ! Thirdly. Wo have demonstxated that this large balance of Foreign Trade must be paid in -Specie; for the reason that we havo no paper currency which will be received 3n Europe. And we hare also shown that this specie must be taken from the pockets of Tin: jm:ople ; be cause the merchants who sell them goods, will sell them just so much higher as rtpecio is worth more than the p.tper which the people pay them for their good ; and they will do this for the reason that the merchants are compelled to make their payments in such funds, (which is specie,) as .will pass ;n Europe. Fourth. Without such a system of Tariff as will prevent the wares of Europe from sale here free of duty ; without such a Tariff as will tax those waics abundantly , that tho result must be to beggar the poor Laborers and Mechanics of our own country! Because in Europe much of tho labor is mere pauper labor, and the resi can be had from four to twelve penes per day ! and this starving labor is employed in the man ufacture of hats, boots, cloths, shoe"", trunks, saddles, paper, &c. &c, which are also manu factured here, and which give to thousand of poor men and women the means of life. Take as an instance, the forty thousand fcjiai.es engaged in manufactories in the Mingle State of Massachusetts ; of the seventeen thousand workmen engaged in the single business of the Iron Works in the .Slate of Perm., and the EIGHTY-FOUR thousand persona dependent on them for support. If there be no law to prevent the iree sale ol European goods hero, the J'au- i their markets, the sale here of' foreign, goods ; per lanor oi mm country, empioyuu in ine man- romar;, ()f Mr. Holmes, so warlike and so ufacturo of such goods must ihus compete j chivalric as he called them Thi- is not tin; and beggar our own labor and industry engaged j paco o- ilUe (,f anv ;jn(j. , js ,h place of in the same departments of Manufacture and j Jeliberation, for deliberation as friomU ami bro Mechanisni. i ihers, for the oxereKe of mutual good will to- Un Hie oilier liana we nave shown that a proper Tariff will, by ihe duties imposed upon j foreign goods, create a Revenue without taxing j the people. j fifth. 1 hat a i ariff which shall force Eu rope to open her ports to American wheat, corn, pork, lumber, tobacco, m short, to Amer- lean staples, will thus create an exchange ol jj, Unjon.

In confirmation of tins we have belore instanced the single State l i Massachusetts, whose manufacturers, in a laud were co'nirolled bv as good motives as any gle year, purchase and consume products of the j m ,le ijn:on t h'e believed that bv their soil to the AMOUNT OF FORTY-TWO I c.0tIcl ihy rutarded the blessed end they MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, to say nothing! wjsn!ti ;o accomplish the abolition of Slavery, of the vast consumption of mechanic wares. j , said he held his opinion from God And wutie tnese results now to mo tarmar, an avenue is thus opened for the thousand laborers of both exes which press our land.
