THE CO 2 SXN& YEAR . RETROSPECT OF THE PAST ; PROSPECT OF THE FUTURE . Time , which is constantly progressing , whether its progress be regarded or not , has brought us near the' termination of another of its annual revolutions . Before ire agaimneet our readers , ire shall hare entered on the fortieth year of . flie nineteenth century . It cannot then be unprofitable , ih . ngh Tra could-wish the task more pleasing , to look back npon the past , that we may thence derive lessons of wisdom and experience for our guitlance in the future . The joust year has been life with lessons of most thrilling interest , and of the utmost practical importance . It has exhibited , nay , is now .
ei-SATHSDAY , DECEMBER 28 1839
Mbiting , most painful evidence that there is something radically wrong in the very framework and constitution of society . Asa country , England is oiuversally regarded , and justly so , as the most wealthy and prosperous in the world bnt that wealth can nerer be truly national , nor that nation irorj prosperous , whose industrious sow are , by thousands , and tens of thousands , perishing fox lack of food , and whose whole labouring population are doomed to choose between - dmuBB&o sod social slavery , « r the horrors of i lingering death by famine . Far be from us the effort to set one portion of society against another . We wonld exert all our energies—we » ould employ aRour infioeBee in the holy cause sf union . Wo w <« Od Mad man
to naau we would make every meeting of the various danes of soeiety conducive io the great and important end of making them better acquainted witheach other . We know that the general good of alt depends npon the individual good of each , And that where this is not a recogjnaedprinc ^ lB of action , no general prosperity out exist . But / there aremountains to be le-Telled , and rallies to be JiHed np before this *» si desirable state of things caa be accompfiahed . The present eril and vicions state of ao&etj mnst be chaagedj new principles must
M imbibed ; new modes of action most be adopted ; all mut be made to respect in others those rights which they require others to respect in them ; opinion must not be subjected to fee isfliefion of legal penalties ; and those who have accumulated wealth by the industry of ^ Mr fellows in society mnst cease to re gard the labourer as a- beast of burden , or a jnachme to pamper indolence , and luxury and vice . That the labourers hare been so regarded by a yery large portion of the
f jrivBeged , the events of the past and imme-- lately preceding years evince beyond all reaganable contradiction . We hay © seen a moral movement , unprecedented in the annals of this or anyother country ; and we have seenth&tmoyejBentjnet by an increase of the army , and of the blue-coated myrmidons of tyranay ; by the perversion of law , the application of the police ruffian s truncheon , and the roar of musketry . WehsTe - sritaesBedjOnihe part of the people , ^ fi * jB 06 t exemplary patience under accumulated jprrongB . . Theyhave petxtionaTby a million and
- « quarter at a time , and their petitions hare -been treated by the rBpresentatrres of bricks and mortar with contempt and scorn ;—one iioble ruffian telling them that their distresses re the result of the decrees of the allwise gover-TiOT of ihe nnryexse ; another taunting them ^ with their patience , and denying that the people are discontented because they do not kill -and burn . Let the fools beware ! It is the last [ feaiher which breaks the camel ' s back . If they are not heedful , they will go onfrorn one act of oppressive tyranny to another , till they find that they have perpetrated one too many . With a . fall pressure on the boiler , one ounce more may cause it to explode , and te destroy the vessel .
On fbi subject of flie New Poor Law , the nation spokelout , in terms not to be mistaken ; but as _ wbH might we expect to charm the deaf adder * as to mpy e class legislation to a sense of justice . The iniquity remains in all its hideous forms . The deluded T&timiB still punished , while the ¦ 5 ieartlessBeduc 8 r , if he haye cunning equal to his -cruelty , may go seot-free . Poverty- is still im--JBored and tortured in the numerous bastilee , -whose hateful forms still blot bo many of our
fairest landscapes . ^ The right of public meeting 1-to complain , ofjgrieft&oces , and to call for their redreas has . been denifid , and BtSl the ' people bare been peaceable . Labour was \ bSI 1 trodden down of might ; the law was superseded by the farce of proelama-¦ iion ; the yoica of public opinion was stifled as . fat as possible ; the gaols were crammed with . pafaiotB ; and still , the people put not forth their : } mt to annihilate the tyrants .

Such is tlie present posture of aftairs . Now , &r the opening tnafa of Ae future 1 : 3 B&st and foremost , on the promises of " a happy New Year ' maybe " -reckoned , the anticipated result of the "Special ! Commission . ? ' The organs of both factions tell us that this Commission is
appointed to maintain the honour and majesty of the law . We dissent , vtith great deference , from this opinion . We opine that the laws which now govern this country liaye precious listle of . honour or majesty to be maintained ; and that the "Special Commission" has been issued to test the sincerity of tie country . If Faosrandnis compatriots can be hung , or even sent into perpetual banishment , with safety , the factions may . account themselves . moderatelysecurejfor at least twenty years to come . And . in the meantime , with the
assistance of the military and trained bludgeonmen , and John Bull ' s purse to pay them , the New Poor Law and the Rural Police , can be nicely established , and probably some other choice specimens of Whig and Tory kindness , prepared for so quiet and submissive & people . We shall' probably have some stringent measures , relative to the liberty of the press . Political Associations will be held down with an iron grasp ; and the Bural Police will take care
faithfully to report all private conversations ; . - ; -. especially between young men and maidens of the working classes , that in case they should , spite of the Commissioners , render obedience to . ; God ' s law , for the increase and multiplication of men upon ihe earth , the administration of "the Devil's law" maybe preparedwith new modes of torture and improved refinements in cruelty by which to tear their hearts asunder , when the day of sickness or of destitution may visit them . . - - There is-no reason to suppose that the accursed factions will not be consistent with themselves
inooixG 43 fas as thet dakb in the work of oppression . Hating each other as they do , yet will they lay aside their party hatred , when the combination of their energies may be necessary for the more effectual trampling on the common
rights of all . Let the . energies of the people , then , be in like manner simultaneously combined . Let them stand firmly to and by each other in the mighty struggle , and the day iB all their own . " Now or aever , " i * the time for action . The . people must now make up their minds to submit , for an indefinite period , to the most intolerable hardship and slavery , or be resolved by a steady , united , and determined effort to throw off the incubus which weighs down their energies . Every meeting must now be a political covenant meeting , at which the bonds of union must be more closely drawn ,
and ihe resolution to effect the social and political salvation of the land more deeply ^ Beated in each heart . We repeat it , the people ' s energies must be combined . There are various shades of opinion on Borne matters of importance ; and these not unfrequently eanse division and contention in our ranks , of which the enemy never fails
to lake advantage . . It is not likely that m skall ever all think alike on all subjects ; but this we ought to do—and this we must do , if we intend to gam for our selves , - » d to secure to our children , the blessing of peace , righteousness , and prosperity . We . must take care that our dlfffereuces of opbuta do not prevent or impede our unity of action . That our opinions shall not be made cSmsrre to our brethren , and that each shall do Ms utmost to diffoso sound information and genuine charity in every locality , in which he " may happen . to move . .
-One thing which may tend greatly to accelerate the triumph of the people ' s cause is the establishment of Eews-rooms and libraries for the industrious clas » e 3 ; so that they may have places -where they can meet together to gain and . to impart instruction . But 1 Mb good work will never be effected until the working men can be induced to forsake the tavern and the beenhop . We speak deliberately when we say that if one eighth part of the money spent in intoxicating liquors was devoted to the cause for the support
of political regeneration , Universal Suffrage wonM be obtained in a tbtt short time . It can be proved , by incontrovertible evidence , that about sixty millions of pounds are annually expended on these liquors in the United Kingdom , Now , suppose-one half of this same thirty millions , to be spent by the working classes , this is so much . premium on oppression .. Let the people take Bcven parts of this , and put it into their pockets ; applying the other eighth , ue . £ 3 jo 5 $ W , to the attainment of their rights , and we haye no fear of the result .
Another thing is of paramount importance to be attended to . "Beware of spies I" They swarm like locusts . Let eyery man who proposes secret organization be at once denounced as a traitor to the people . We have ever insisted , and we now again insist , upon the people ' s right to arm : to have arms and to use arms for the defence of themselves , their property , the constitution , and the laws . This is not merely the right but tiie duty of all freemen , and all Englishmen are free in theory ; would to God that they were all determined to be so in fact ! Bat we
tell them that having arms for their own defence , and arming themselves for aggressive purposes , which can" only be productive of the most widespread mischief , are very different thing 3 . We beseech the people to stand firmly ; to be united ; not'to shrink from danger when it comes ; but to let the Government , if it be insane enough to do so , lead on in the work of death ; remembering that "All they who take the Bword shall perish by the sword . " - Forward J then , beloved brethren , aye , and astera too , forward 1 The prospects are cheering . The result is certain if top bo toub duty ; The fields are ripe for the harvest . Liberty ,
equal rights , and equal laws , shall yet be the portion of our father land . We will again see the peasant happy and joyfuL Crime shall be displ aced by virtue , dissipation by sobriety , i gnorance by knowledge , starvation by plenty , and bigotry and intolerance by the mild and heavenly spirit of pure and undefiled religion . Tyranny shall hide its hated and dishonoured head ; Despotism shall sink to the hell from which it sprung . Our young men and maidenB shall be blessed in their youth , and those who haye patiently trodden the path of life together shall not tremble at the thought of separation is . their declining days .
" Fair liberty shall sit enthroned ; Her queenlj presence felt and owned . Be broke each chain ; our race be free Then en-ward ! let our -iratchword be . "

DUE ADMINISTRATON OF JUSTICE , Whuhkvsr way we turn our eyes to view the social and political arrangements under which we live we behold them everywhere consiste&tly corrupt . In the field or in the workshop ; on the plain or on the sea ; in the halls of legislature , the courts of justice , and the sanctuaries of religion , we see the same damning spirit eveiy where manifested—every where developed—the spirit of rapacious wealth rampant over the neck of honesty and poverty .

There . was a - '" money balance , ' of many years sUndtog , between iin * and the ; ganiblegislatipn provides , the ^ iMipUljij
ling Squire , whose rents he had so . long husbanded The debt had been contracted at a period when Mr . Oasti ^ b ' s salary was insufficient to support the expenses of hia situation . This was tacitly acknowledged by the Squirj ^| n : thQ . f fact v ^ ihape of an advance of salary , aro asitvwMweU known to him that all Mr . Oastleb ' s money was spent in the service of the poor among the people , and as he for years testified his approbation of Mr . OAfiTiiR ' s disinterested and patriotiq exertions , it was never dreamed that he would seek to increase bis enormous wealth by exacting the paltry pittance from his poor Steward . , "
But Oastleb began , and long continued to abuse the Poor Law . He asserted that the Bible was true , and that its precept that "the husbandman that soweth shall be first pirtaker of the fruits , " ought to be carried into practice ; and that tho poor had a right to a subsistence from the soil , even before . the landlord had his rent . ThiB was a doctrine illsuited to the temper of the Squire , or the spirit of the social arrangements of this most Christian land ,: and therefore Mr . Oastlek got " marching orders " from Fixby . And as a fit punishment for his offenoe , in maintaining "the right of the poor , " he waa «
doomed to feel to the full extent of the Squire ' s malice , the wrong " which patient merit of ; tha unworthy takes , " : whenever the contest may be between right with poverty , and might with wealth A claim for the old debt was furbished up ; to which Mr . Oastler made some demur . Law proceedings were instituted more than fifteen months ago ; and during that period , by a variety of tho £ e convenient formsand usuages provided for the purpose , 'the law ' s delay" has been made to harrass poor Oastleb to a very handsome tune . The cause has been set down for trial three or four times ; Mr . Oastleb has made all preparation on each occasion to meet his powerful opponent , always of course at a great Iobs of time and a great expenditure of money , but it has never
suited the rich Squire to meet the poor discarded Steward in fair and open , legal controversy . On every occasion some excuse has been found to put off the trial , and so harrass Oastlbb with a continued series of expenses , which , though trivial to his rioh persecutor , must have been ruinous to him . Again the cause was set down for trial a week since hut Saturday , and again Oastleb had made . hjmielf " all ready" for the contest ; apprehending tb . it the doubles of the fox must now surely be over , and that he should get sight of the merits in open court ; when , on the Thursday previous , the prosecutor withdrew his record ; thus rendering utterly waste and useless all the expense and trouble incurred by Oastleb during fifteen months in the defence of that trumpary and vexatious action .
We suppose that comment upon this would be received by our readers as an insult . We addres it as an instructive illustration of tho blessings peculiarly and necessarily rising out of that legislation which is the ofispririg of the moniod orders , conducted by the monied orders , for the benefit of the monied orders , and from whicE the people are excluded . We adduce it to shew , if it be yet needful , that until the people do take into iheir own hands the making of the laws , the laws will never —can never—cease to be thus partial and oppressive in operation ; causing righteousneas and justice to be empty and ' unmeaning , sounds . Let the people , if they wish to remedy these scandaloua evils , keep steadily advancing to the one creat and ' only remedy , UmyBBSAL Sdpfsage . -

FROST AND PUBLIC SYMPATHY . - Thb Government organs and the Tory press have denied the' existence of sympathy for Mr . Faosr They are jrophets with power to fulfil their predictions . A <» mmittee wag appoiated to procure public places for the holding meetings in the metropolis , to test public opinion . The Crown and Anchor was applied for , and refused . White Condnit House room was then applied for . The answer was , that there was no objection , but upon the following day , it should be stated to the committee which of two days they could have the room . The committee called ,
when they were informed thai the room had been tubtequentl y engaged for every night for the next three months ! This is Government impartiality . No doubt the landlord had a treasury hint . Bat it is really too bad . Not the slightest move lias been made in the capital for Frost , however . Perhaps it is but a smothered flame , and the fools who have thus thrown a wet blanket over it may have cause to regret , when indignation for such villany burstB upon them , which public opinion might have checked .

THE NATION- ^ . TBE WHOLE NATIONAGAINST THE BLOODY OLD "TIMES , " AND THE BLOODY OLD TRAITOR , DANIEL O'CONNELL . From the arrest of Mr . F » ost to the present moment , the ^ tor and' its" Proprietor bare performed their part in procuring for him and the other Welsh prisoners , a fair and impartial trial . The almost supernatural exertions of Mr . O'Conmob are now becoming matter of increased admiration to ids friends , and of dismay to his enemies . The public mind , as the time for trial ( under an indictment of
incomprehensible jargon ) approaches , begins to feel considerable alarm at the manner in which the law of treason is likely to be BtretcheJ , in this age of reason , and eighth year of Reform . Many men formerly well disposed to Whiggery , but how compelled to desert the standard ^ very prudently ask themselves if legitimate opposition to their old associates in their progress of devastation , is not likely to be construed into high treason . They find Mr . Tbost , the pet of the Reform party , now the victim of the reformers perfidy . The bloody old Time * , in its anxiety to create prejudice , has traced Mr .
Ffiosr ' s political character so far back as the year 1822 , and by his priuted letters at that period , and up to the time of his appointment to the : Commission of the Peace , they clearly prove him to have been uniformly what is now called a destructiye , but in the reform revolution , designated as a reformer . Fbost has not changed , then , but wished to redeem the * plodges made by his party , aid he is a traitor . So it only requires that Ministers , or a partyj should first gain power by popular support , and ihen , for
fear of impaachment themselves , decl are their dupes guilty of high treason . The bloody old Timer and Dakiel O'Coskell—the Siamese twina of corruption—respectively represent the vices , the cowardice , the treachery , and the cruelty of their party . They both call for the blood of Fbost . The good men of both parties , for there are good , and many good , men of both parties , take no part in this 6 /» ody trial of strength ; and it may be legi » timately asked , whence proceeds the great anxiety of the town devils for the destruction of Fbost
At various . periods , and upon sundry occasions , those demagogues recommended the enforcement ef the principles contained in the Charter by phyeieal force , while their every opposition has been given to the accomplishment of the object . - They , beyond any other powers , have led to the present demand for the Charter , and now they , like all bullies , brawlers , and cowards , have become alarmed at their own monster . It is -a fact not generally known to the English people , and not at all known to the Irish , that Daniel O'Conskll , Esq ., M . P . drew up the abstract of the Charter , and , together with seven other Members of Parliament , afiixed

O'Connor haying disposed ^ of Chartist principles , said he would apply himself to the middle class panacea ; for all their evils ; ' —
They , ( said he , ) as a general restorative for the nation ' s woalth , offer you the repeal of the Corn Laws . Novf j i will strip the question of its tropes , its ngures , and its metapnora ; I will denude it of its mystery , and drag 4 t from uuder the . veil of . economical delusion .

Boymug at their h » ad would tell you that it was a xiueBtJon which , was only to ibe solved by deep study Said an intimate knowledge of foreign policy . The Corn Laws never should have passed : but the tuestion is , whether the evila flowing , from their repeal , or from their continuance would be of greater
magnitude . They , speak of fowign interests , while I consider all the interests : I consider each as a link in the great chain of society ; they speak but of a singleUnkiwhile 1 speak , of . the whdechaih .

But it is not sufficient that I vyecture the mere assertion ; 1 must prove my position , and shall commence with the probablo sponging of the National Debt . The economists boldly say that their object is to reduce the price of labour , by reducing the price of food ; then they do reduce labour , or they accomplish nothing ; but while they reduce the price of productive labour , will they reduce the wages of the idler I Will they reduce the National Debt i : No ; but on the contrary , with reduced means upon the part of ; the industrious classes the means of jkhe fundholder , ^ he Bihecurist , the pensioners , the judee , and all other ofiicerwill be

Thus you would double the national debt , double ; tlie Interest of the personal debt , double all the domands ; upon the state , while you would reduce the means of meeting theni » by one half . Here you set the landed interest and the monied interest at once at loggerheads ; the result of which must " bea bloody ^ revolution . Thenwithregard to the church , which raust : always have a finger in the Sute ' a affairs , let us see how the religious kndlord would stand such a temporal interference even for the support of Mother Church . By the present tithe system , the tithe is a- tax upon thereutal ; ihe rental is according to the value of land produced by the Corn Laws ; take a prbperiy of £ 10 , 000 a-y ear , rate it to the church at that amount , byc the Repeal of the Corn Laws- that propertv
wouitt do reauceato about £ 6 , 000 a-year , andwhich £ 6 , 000 would still be liable to thepwse / t charge for tuhe . Thus the patspni like the fund-lord , Bhould either be allowed to remain in quiet p ^ Bsession of double , his present moaas , or should gq to war with the landlord , for ; tiiose gentlemen , when their property w attacked , have not the cahn forbearance of the working classes ; instead of dealing withthe evil ln ^ detad . they lay the axe at : once to the root of everything that affects their comfort . Now we entirely agree upon the prinoiple that the national debt should be , not expungedj but declaredi aaia the fact to ^ be ^ long smce paid off , and therefpre liquidated , W « agree upon the jwrinciplo of the voluntary system of praying to God , and therefore , as far as the ^ debt and the church are concerned , thero exists no difference of bpinion between na . BHt ; now , B to Bhow you that
