      = - THE NEW YEAR . — —•¦ " ¦ — " - - "With as much cheerfulness . as any of onr contemporaries , and with more reason to be cheerful than - most of them , we offer the congratulations of the Season to our friends . The Northern Star made its iirsfc appearance , in the political horizon , amid the howlings of the wintry blast , and , in no preceding instance , has the sun of : popular favour , so quickly dissipated the clouds of uncertainty and doubt , which always surround a hew political luminary . It is eight weeks , this day , since the " Star "

      took its position in the hemisphere , and already we have the grateful satisfaction to be assured that the Northern Star is a " fixed Star" of the iirst magnitude—the chief brilliant in that glorious galaxy in which it is destined permanently to . abide .. There is not a Democratic paper in England , sold at the same price , whose circulation now equals ; that of the Northern Star . "With one exception only , two moons have placed us , with an average circulation , at the head of the provincial

      press of thi 3 kingdom . On one occasion , ; the 6 th No ., we believe that ournumberpublished greatly exceeded that of any other paper out of 'London , and we rep eat , that with one « xception only , our weekly circulation now is greater than any other provincial paper in England . ^ Ve hear of persons , who , estimating the character of others by their own , hafe dared to impugn the veracity of the statements we have issued concerning the Numbers of the ¦ " Star " published each week , since its commencement .

      Tis natural that they should do so . Mendacity ever hesitates to accord its credence to another . "We scorn to imitate the " things" who continually prostrate truth and decency to the paltry objects of selfish and party interests . Let them wait till the returns of the Stamp Office arrive and test us by them as severely as they please . Meantime , we shall progress steadily , on our straight forward path of duty , holding at all ^ xldi-and-aazRrds to the people's rights , and confidently depending on the people for support .

      vidual or individuals , andffie paffiea ^ hb Concocted such . a measure . must be ^ void of ^ the milk of ^ . huinan lundaesst - They cannot— -cannot- nave -one social feeling ; - . Much as you have heard in the North of its craerfy-, and the oppression : practised Under it , the kalf has not been told . In this part of the x » tmt 3 ry , previous to the passing of the I $ ew LaW , tfeefabourere who had no work , were-found wort by ihfc parish , or in soiae way provided foh "VVhen Hus New Law was passed these advantages were all aweptaway . And , now mind what I say , I have only met with one case , and Aat a family afflicted -with the email pox , receiving ^ aoy relief out iof the

      workhouse , except those persons above 8 vxtyg feWj very few , have anything under seventy . If . ; ^ Jnan have a large family of smaU children , it i 8 ^; np | matter ; if he have a sickly wife , if the cnildren b& in bad ; health , if the : wife be confined ,. ' aU . this avaleth him nothing , he is thrown on 'his owh resources . And what do you think those TesoiiirceU are ? "Why , in some instances ten shillings per week ; in most cases nine , and income'eighty if they should hftppen to have constant work ; but all are not so situated ; for in this , ~ very parish , two-thirds of the working-people ( I mean the men ) have no cbnstant employment . They have now and then a day's work . There are numbers of them to be seen daily standing in the Market-plaqe , no one asking

      them if they want work ; and I can find numbers that have not had one day ' s work per week since harvest , and a good" many of them have Marge families . You will , like me , wonder how they live ? That I cannot tell , nor can they ; but I will attempt to describe it as well as I can . The appearance ; of their dwelling-houses on the outside ^ is of a rustic kind , mostly thatched with straw , and some of them have small gardens ; When you . enter , all looks gloomy and cheerless ; there are ygry few possessed of any furniture ^ some without a single chair . A few stools or benches , which Serve as seats ; a few old boards put together for a table , but in . the rudest manner , are . all the household goods some of them can boast of ! Robinson Crusoe ' s hut was not more destitute of domestic

      utensils , than are the houses of these labourers . My colleague , Mr . Cbabtkee , has often asked ; them to shew him their beds , ; after they have answered the various questions which we have put to them ; and we have often found that those beds have no blankets , nor are they made of feathers , exceptr ing those of rather a long description , on which once grew that very necessary article corn ! Their covering is the few clothes they wear , and those are very poor , but almost , always covered by a smock frock . Their food , for the most part , consists of bread and potatoes . I suppose you think , as . a matter of course , they get butter to their bread ; but in this you are much mistaken . They would smile at you if you asked such a question . Tljey get for breakfast , ( sometimes ) , bread , and they get the tea-leaves from a mora fortunate neighbour and

      run hot water through . I call it bread and water ; some people may call it tea ; but it is destitute of two very essentials , cream and sugar . But potatoes and salt , cbopt up with water in which they were boiled , is as often the breakfast of some of them as tea . Their dinners are potatoes and salt : if they have any thing in the afternoon it is of the same descr iption . Many that I have visited have not tasted butter for weeks and months . If they get one quarter of a pound of pork it is a luxun ' . Their

      fire-places are as cheerless as any part of th , e dwelling . Coal in this part of the country is very dear , 2 s . 2 d . per evrt . Wood is also very dear , . and if any poor man is found gathering a-few sticks , he is sure to dance on the tread-mill for his reward ; so you will readily suppose the people have very little fire , and at this time of the year it is not very comfortable . I have not over-coloured this statement at all ; and . am able to bring forward witnesses to prove every thing 1 have said ; AND ALL

      THESE THINGS EXIST UPON THE PROPERTY BELONGING TO THE DUKE OF BEDFORD AND LORD HOLLAND . Then as to the . " workhouse system , " it is such , that the poverty I . have described refuses to find shelter in it 1 They tell us the workhouse is much better than it used to he ; all I can say is , it is bad enough ! The . allowances are very small . ' I saw them have a dinner at one place , it consisted of a pint and a half of ( what they called ) peas-soup ; but when my mother -. used to make peas-soup , there were both peas and meat in it ; but in the workhouse soup I found neither peas , nor meat , nor stars

      on the top of it ! There was some bread in it , but not enough . The supporters of the measure say however , that the poor are better in than out ; but though they are literally starving to death out , they refuse to go in ! Nearly all the grown up men who are in , are idiots , and some of the ^ vomen are of the same description ; thus " proving that no sen * sible man will remain there .. The Workhouses are , to all intents and purposes , prisons , with differ ^ pt rooms , and a strong room called the lock-up ; - and the governor has the power to lock up any 6 rie wh 6

      offends him ; so he is the jndge , jury , and execut ioner in his own person ! Rather a comical sample of "English-Liberty . " ^ The Workhouses I have seen are destitute of a tread-mill ; but some have a substitute in a standing mill to grind corn , which is driven by a handle at which from eight to twelve men can stand to turn . These mills are so . constructed , that by means of a lever the governor can put weight on , whether they are grinding corn or not ; but this practice is not adhered , to in this particular place , though in some places I hear it is- ¦ - ¦ ¦ - ' : - - \ •¦ .-. " . ¦¦ ¦ ¦ •¦;¦"¦ ¦

      Now , if the people of the North , onlj- suffer the introduction of . this infernal system amongsty // ezH it will be morally impossible to prevent wages fj-ora falling . The labourer living under this system can have no alternative , but to take any amount . of wages the employers offer . A very respectable tanner told me yesterday , that , if his heart would let hira offer the sum , he was quite sure he . could have his work done for six shillings per week ! and when work people have no other protection but th § kind feelings of others , I doubt they will have tb suffer .: A proof of the accuracy of this surmise , may be found in the fact that the poor people in this

      part , if any of their familj r die , must bury them as they can . If they are sick , they have no do ^ ior . One poor woman , near to where I am , ; was confiBed some time ago : inflammation ensued ; the " officers' ! of the " Union" were applied , to ; but there waa such ; a number of individuals to be seen , before she could have any ' medical relief , that at last a gentleman sent for a doctor at his own expense—but too late ! The poor woman died a victim to the " well working" system ! !! This fact I ' had from the Vicar of the parish . The people themselves seem not to bo aware of the extent of misery which surrounds them . The Curate of one parish told me he thought there was no distress in ^ His parish , ^ ithin one hundred yards of his door we found a family , consisting of eight persons , man , his wife , and

      six cbildren ^ the oldest under thirteen years of age ; and this family had had but a very few days' work since last harvest ! Next door to this family , a poor woman had been confined jthe day before we called ; and she was in a very dangerous state ; she had not any description of food in her house , excepting a single morsel of breadi She had three children ; and her husband can only earn nine shillings per week ! "We found many others equally deplorably situated ; and ! called again upon theCurateyand desired he would go with me and see for himself . If such be not'" distress , " I ¦ - ¦ ¦ don't know what is ; and this " distress , " 19 not of" the people ' s own seeking . I hope the working people ( and the rich also ) will resist the introduction of this iC system , " into the North by all legal means .. I am , sir , your humble servant , ; ; f ¦ James Turner ; ; J .

T-he Upper Canadians have therefore a deep interest ^ ^ in the matterj . ^ aad rightly * look upon th 6 patriots in Lower ^ Canada as tneir proxies and substitutes ; in the field .

Let them know that those resolutions speak Jhe determined purpose of the masses of that pppul ' ation , and let them despise their own besotted ignorance

      and fatuity . Let them rather ask their selves whether it be not highly probable that the men / of Upper Canada , who seem ; to be almost as heartily sick of the endurance of British wrongs as those of Lower Canada , "¦ inlay think it a favourable ; opportumty to demand the redressal of their own grievances j _ and whila the attention of the government is fully occupied with deyising means for reducing the insurgentsj to induce a slight diversion from th ' e sameness of their

Laws , relieves ' from much embarassment as commentators ! -i He formerly appeared as an enemy to the introductionof a Poor Law Bill , upon a kind of principle , that vice would follow that idleness which , he . says ^ springs from a system of national . relief . In his present position , hoivever , he appearsi . as an advocate of the principle ; but , at the same time , as . the

      partizan- of a . ' . party , ' and that party is the middld class , into whose arms he has been of late throwing himself . Henceforth we roust treat Mr . O ! CoN-3 S DLL with some degree of courtesy , because he has thrown off the mask , and presented himself as an avowed foe ^ The man who stands up as the defender of the Profit-monger , while he * ' ¦ tells Labour , that its . pretensions to ; support must be discussed "in the presence of a Magistrate ,. ^ at least , of a Constable , " hassevered every ; link vrhich bound hint to the people , and ha ' placed ; himself in

      a position meriting only pity arid contempt . * : For those , who do not understand the tactics by which Mr . O'Connei . l has managed to preserve popularity by .
