THE NEW YEAE.

A happy New Year to all oar patrons, ami the rost of mankind, is our wi*h. Kind patrons, another year has gone, has passed away, has rolled back into the bosom of tho never changing past and with it has been buried many a blooming rose, and many a radiant hope. 0, what joys, what sorrows, what expectations, have gone to re6t with the year that is past. Last New Year beheld many a happy, joyous spirit, just blooming into life. Last New Year beheld them full of hope, and in the vigor of manhood, and to all earthly appearance they promised along and prosperous life. But where are they What has become of those merry, happy countenances, and those happy, joyoHs laughs we used to hear Alas they are in their graves—they are hushed in death. The stillness of oblivion reigns around their cold and icy form. Alas! Alas the grave has won them all, and thoy silently sleep on. Last New Year beheld a million of our race as fall of life as wc are now.— They were rnnnrng to and fro upon the earth, and bid fair to live as long as we.— And where too are they Alas the destroyer came along and swept them from the earth, and to-day their lifeless forms are mingling with their mother earth.'

But still the world rolls on .jthc seasons como and go the months and weeks and days pass quickly by as if nothing bad happened to mar the happiness of mortals here on earths- The sun, the glorious orb of day, looks,, down from his mid-day throne the same, anil the Cfoddess of night shines none the less serenely on the soft repose of nature than she did a year ago. The stars that deck the easepy of Httfren look down from their mid-night thrones tho saine as when that thronging million beheld them a year ago.

But another year has conrie. The year 1857 it ushered in, and like some gallant ^vessel on a sea of flowers, bsings its freight of hope 4c pleasure.

But with all its brilliant prospects, we inay expect Time's blighting hand to bring untcld sorrows and bitter disappointment. We cannot penetrate tho future—we know not what is bidder* ili its bosom, nor can we call another hour our own. Time's swift-winged messenger is flying quickly o'er us,,bringing.on his wings the changed and checkered scenes of another year.— Ah what a checkered, changing scene lies just behind that curtain. We would not uufold it if we could—we would rather wait and,enjoy the good or ill of earh moment' as it swiftly comes. We know not what 1857 may bring about. We Cannot penetrate its eveutB, but we hope it may be a happy, prosperous year for us all.

Shall the present year be to us all a happy and prosperous one Then let us improve the living present snatch each gol-, den moment as it comes,, and stamp improvement on its tiny form, and then the hours, the days, the weeks, the month*, will pass pleasantly and prosperously by.

Shall we make the present year as bright and pleasant as the past It is for us to decide. Our happiness, our prospcrity, our future glojy is for us to mould now—ncicwhile the moments come one by one Will we do it Kind patrons,. allow us again to wi«h you, aSl a Kappy and a prosperous New Year.

ARE WE RIGHT?

This is the question to decide We do not ask ourself the question is this or that course expedient? but we ask ourself the question, "are ice rig hi?" Are we pursuing a course that will be sanctioned by the approval of our own conscience, and by the smiles of an approving God? Are we laboring for the good of mankind? or are welaboring for the promotion of a ftw hungry office seekers, who, in return wonld scarcely thank, us for all our labor and toil in,their behalf?' Are we following the dictates of certain' demagogues, certain'weald-be \great men?' Or are we 6tudyiSg, reasoning, reflecting, and. docidingrfo* ourself

Are we* writing oar owntfeonghtn, eenti1 ments and feelings, or are we penning'the dictations of' certain cliques, and" design* ing-pattyiltodere?.

But the great .and ail, important question is, are-we RIOHV?- The public Journalist should never ask himself .any other question. Tfae, hb should n$t close his ear to tbe- adnce «nd ratmsels of tlb wis* and more experienced—he sbould never ex^ludafromhis mind the light of reason sod.the counsel ofgoodfmen because he iroly think$ he is righti ''but he should

bow his ear to their instructions as the teachable child doea (6 his teacher. We reJMAt It, it his dtlty to listen to those who art older end toiaer than himself, bat it Is also hm glorious privilege and his itaperions duty to decide for himself. The public Journalist should have a

MIND

of his

own, one that he could always use to suit his own purpose, as well aa others who wish to ride into power, and placo* thro* he influence of his pen,and his public Journal.

The public press of our country has al-« ready been top long the miserable eats-paw and servant of party leaders, and aspiring demagogues. They have too long done the bidding of a set of scramblers for office, who in return, has never had the generosity or manliness to offer them even the crambs which might chance to fall from their bountiful tables. Knowing these things to be facts, it is high time the press, were declaring their freedom, and dashing to the earth the fetters which have long bound them. 0, but the party musi be seirftfd, right or wrong cortain great principles MOST be smothered, must be trampled nnder foot, must be lost in the fogs and mists of political excitement, or else the party will go to "Davy Jones's" as the saying is.

It is expected, that he, who undertakes the laborous and arduous task of conduct ing a public journal, is competent to the task that his abilities are commensurate with his calling and it is expocted, too, that he knows right from wrong, and that ho will pursue the former course. Editors, (Republican Editors,) as well as other men have a conscience to satisfy, and that conscience dictates to bim or them that the only road to true greatness is by steadily following the course of right.

The question then comes home to us as an individual member of the press are we right in advocating the claims of temperance? Are we ngbt in endeavoring to repel the dark flood of intemperance which is at this good hour sweeping through the land like a tornado of destruction.

Are we right in endeavoring to crush this hidra-headed monster of the world, and 6end him back to his native hell? Are we right in raising our voice, feeble as it is, in behalf of the poor drunkard, his weeping wife, and his worse than orphan children? Yes, our conscience answers yes, the poor drunkard answers yes, community answers YES, YBB, is the an swer of every christian, of every lover of his race the world over yes, yes, is the answering echo from the heavenR YES, YKS, is the response of angels and a glorious, long, loud, and triumphant YES is the language of eve*y follower of Christ, who has gone -before us, whose happy spirits and triumphal voices now mingle in the harmony of Heaven.

Surely we have enough to encourage us.

Mozart Quartette.

We take great pleasure in noticing this "Star Band" of Sfufeical Performers, because it eminently deserves tho encomiums of the Press and the praise of the people everywhere. This Band is composed of our esteemed friends Sfessrs. George Maloni, F. Langguth, L. Ivissnerand B. Kaiser .The performances of those gentlemen *at Cuntrj Church during the College Exhibition was the finest it haB been our pleasure to listen to for msAty a day. Wo notice that their music on that occasion has secured general praise. We understand the}- are rehearsing several of their choice pieses preparatory for a tour during the present season. They expect to start out in a few days and visit our neighboring towns and cities. So look out for the "Mozart Conceit!" We wish the boys much success.

/arThe passengers on the N. A. «fc S. R. R., on Wednesday last, were shocked to find on the track, a short distance below Crawfordsvillc the body of a man completely cut in two. It was ascertained to be that of an Irishman in the employ of the road, by the namo of Finnell. He had been shot through the head, and his body lain on the track, and run over by tho night train without being seen. No clue to the mystery of his death has been ascertained. New Albany Tribune.

Mr. Gregg where did you get your authority for stating that Mr. Finnell was "shot through the head and his body laid on the track and run oyer by the night train?" f,. .,

It i6 an Old Line lie, made up to screen the Limner Sellers ef CrawfoHsviile from thefoul murder. Perchance lie was ekot, but not by ihe assassin wh« plunders, robs, and murders for gold—but by the liquorsellers of Crawfordsville, who first robbed him of his "gold,"—not only that, but of his mind, that noblest endowment of man —then, with more than fiendish cruelty, thrust him out into the cold aod bitter blasts of that piercing nigi»tr »raving maniac, to stagger home the best way he could, and die a victim of their hellish traffic.

Mr. Gregg why did you not read the Jwrnal't acceun I of that terrible death, and net the- partied, rfee&ng notice the Review gave of it. Please mad the Josrmr/,. and yen will be posted correctly in regard to-CrawfordaviUe affairs.

Montgomery Teachers' Association. This body met at Linden, on Saturday, Debetitbor 1* Cth^ according to previotu announcetnerit. &at few members of the Assoeiatiob Wera present, and but little business of importance transacted. We believe but two members of .the Association were present,' to-Wit: Dr. T. W. Florer, President of the A»sociation, and ourself. Bat fotir other teachers, (not members,) were present,: viz: Mr. G. S. Kilborn, Teacher at liinden', G. N. Rogers, of Coal Creek Township, and Miss Lizzie Orvis and Sue Stonebreaker, of this city. After a report tree read on Teacherr' Associations and a few remarks made by Dr. Florer, Mr. Kilborn and onrself, it was ordered that the next Session of this body be held in Crawfordsville, commencing on Friday evening, January the 16th, and continuing over Saturday the 17th. The following are the exercises for the occasion as near as we can recollect:

Opening Address on Friday evening, by Dr. T. W. Florer, after which j&sCelieneous business will be attended to.

Saturday Morning, Jan. 17th. 1st. An exercise on Mental Arithmetic. By Miiss Lizzie Orvis. 2d. Teachers' mission. By James M. Simpson. 3d. An exercise in Geography. By S. N. Rogers. 4th. A Report on Physical and Mental culture. By Dr. I. E. Naylor. 5th. An exorciso in German, with applications. By J. M. Coyner. 6th. Influences of Colleges on Common Schools. By G. M. Smith, Esq. 7th. Election of officers and Miscellaneous business. Much business of importance is expected to come before the meeting and a general attendance is requested.

The Election—Its Teachings. The following vet} encouraging article appears in the Indianapolis Journal of Monday morning. Let every Republican in Mimtgormery County read it, and be encouraged. "The result of the Presidential Eleotion shows a large majority ef the popular vote to be against Mr. Buchanan. Four years ago the party that has succeeded in the recent contest had a clear majority, over all opposing organiz ations, that was respectable in numbers. Now it is in the minority of 400,000-—a greater minority than any party ever had to be successful in a contest. In tho sixteen Free States Fremont has 121,000 plurality over Buchanan—and the latter is half a million behind his two competitors in the same states.

If the Repnblican party can come oat of a contcst with a plurality of 121,000

sixteen States, after an organization of only a few months, may we expect it to do when four more years shitil frave made the country acquainted with its principles. It will not then be confined to the free States, but will make its organizations known and felt in all localities. The threats of slave holders cannot always deter men from expressing free sentiments.

Mr. Fillmore was voted for in every State in the Union, yet his popular vote is behind that of Col. Fremont 5,000,000, and his electorial vote is an 8 to 114. He and his party are politically defunct. His followers will either join t-he pro-slavery ranks of the Buchanan party, or else embrace the broad and comprehensive platform of free principles set forth by the Republicans. In the free States the majority of them will unite with the Republican party.

That the Ifepublicans will triumph in the next Presidential contest is now ii conceded fact by all intelligent and observant politicians—conceded to be so as much and aa far as any future and unknown event can be. Tho cotrcessfoa is made in a spirit of prophecy—a judgement of the" future by the past.

This ultimate triumph of our principles should not cause ns to sit down and silently look upon passing events. There is work to do and plenty of it, and every patriot should endeavor to perf ortn his share. Let us keep up the fight until victory perch-

es'npon our banner."

INTEMPERANCE IN NEW YORK. The New York papers are giving the statistics of intemperance in that city. They possess a startling character. There are, according to one authority, 15,000 dram shops and 500,000 drunkards, one fourth of the entire population. The amount of liquors drank is calculated to be 300,000 barrels, at an expense of nearly 86,000,000, During the present year the police courts have tried 6,000 cases, 4,200 of which resulted in conviction and of these but 154 were* habitually sober persons. Pauperism, resulting directly from drunkenness, costs the city $2,000,000 per, annnm. Yerily, as Thomas Jefferson said great cities are* great sores upon t&e'body politic.

Crawfordsville Markets!

JOURNAL OFFICE, Jan. I, 1857.

Our market report is rather meagre thta. week. Since the closing of the hog market a dullness in all the leading articles of produce has been noticeable. Duriiig th«!past week soDae' excitement has existed in regard to rumors purporting to affect the standing-of the following-Banks, Erie City Erie Pa., Bank of Newcastle Pa., Warren Co., Bank Pa., Bank of Hallowell Maine, Exchange Bank, Ban^M? Maine, Hartford Bank, Conn., Hartford Co., Bank sad fthode' Island Central.

From all tbe information we have been abla to get in relation the above, we would advise the Bill Holders not to subject themselves to too great a sacrifice—in their haste to get rid of the bills on said Banks. W« can see flb' immediate crash among the Banks just now, But in order to be on the safe side, our advice is to those who own money and hsTre it in tlifeir possession—to go immediately without delay and jJa'y it over—and then in ease the ^anks break, they can'have no regrets and those fortunate individuals who have money and no debts—lend to their liess fortunate neighbors who have debts and no money.
