LOOK AHEAD!

Whilst we hope for peace, it is as well for US to
keep our eyes open to all the military movements
of the day. The only difficulty is, among the ru-
mors we hear, to know what is fact, and what is
fiction. With the view Of showing that the press is
wide awake, copy the two following paragraphs
from the newspapers, without pretending to vouch
for their authenticity:

AN ABUNDANT SEASON.

A friend, who has recently travelled through a
portion of the rich agricultural region of Penn
sylvania-Y ork, Lancaster, Dauphin, Lebanon, and
Berks, for example-represents it to in high
y promising and fourishing condition. Nature is
everywhere scattering her gifts from her well-f filled
cornucopic, with liberal and profuse hand; and
the husbandman has promise of a rich return for
his labors. The wheat fields are said to be more
exempt from the fly than has been the for many
previsS seasons, and its ravages usually desruc
tive, will be comparatively unfelt Rye corn, OATS
and grass, also look remarkably well, that both
"man and beast" may rejoice in the prospect that
the ingathering of the summer and autumn viii re-
suit in bountiful supplies for the succeeding winter
AS 'coming events cast their shadows before, there
is no reason comprehend famine, whatever calam-
tiles may be entailed upon us in the shape Of war;
From the evils of the former we spared by the
inexhaustble benefcence Of the Creator, who send
eth down his rains and his sunshine to fertize our
valleys and beautify our hl-tops. If we should be
unhappiy subjected to the horrors Of the other, the
fault and the folly, with their long train of
quences will rest alone with the belligerent nation
that eschews the right and demands the wrong. The
great Governor of the Universe, at least, will be
empt from blame, if we, his creatures, do not, at
the end of another year, acknowledge ourselves
surrounded by all the elements Of peace, gladness
and prosperity. To ourselves and not to Him, will
justly attach the responsibility of different con-
dition

PHILApELpHIA, May q


Pittsburgh is certainly devoted city. The late
awful confagration, in the most wealthy portion Of
the town, has been followed by one only second in
its destructive and appalling results II seems too
much to believe that the fire which desolated
that part of Pittsburgh, known as Allegheny town,
on Saturday last, was produced by an ncendiary.
cannot believe that there is such wretch in exist
ence, who after the first desoating calamity visited
upon our great western manufacturing city--a
calamity which caused the whole country immedi-
atey to extend its honest sympathies and support
applies the torch to another district and extends the
ruin and dismay which had already frowned upon
the business prospects Of many of those who suffer
ed by the first catastrophe. | perceive by the
papers that Boston as also infested with a host of
incendiaries and that no less than five fires had
CURED there within few hours! Philadelphia has
been most favored in this particular; but she is in
dcbted for her safety to the waters of the Schuyk
circulating, like the blood in so many veins in the
human system, through every quarter of the city,
and ready, at a moments warning, to pour down
copious shower upon the burning tenement. This
great blessing, in the hands OF brave and hardy
band of fremen, has heretofore completely checked
the advances of the midnight incendiary, and pro-
tected our property from unexpected conAagration

which England has made (and shall we add France
too' to accomplish it, have vanished like fog before
the rising sun. AL the seductions, intrigucs. and
diplomacy Of England, have failed in their purpose
Texas prefers to be part Of our free and glorious
republic, to becoming her tool She has de-
cided in favor Of participating in our fortunes,
instead Of being moved about the ally or the
slave of the commercial interests or the po-
litical ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the "mistress Of the
seas" This ~ now fixed as fate. Texas does
not listen TO the dream of ambition which England
would present to her imagination. She has de-
sire to become the nucleus Of great empire, which
the intrigues Of England would set up ON our con-
tinent to weaken our force; and IN fact, TO break
down the power of both. She has no wish to 'es-
tabsh another energetic and Independent pooer to
share the domain of North America" The Lon
don Times ''still hoped that Texas would become
such power" 1t hoped for it from the influence
of the executive power; but her people have
proved too strong for their own government, as well
too strong for the intrigues Of England.
Her people have not aspired to the possession of
ian independent flag, Independent interests, and
independent policy" any more than Pennsylvania or
Virginia. Content Win hhuIiHS our uc6uuy, sic
looks to nothing beyond it, She feels that she will
be happy in reposing on our arms; and she is in
different to the wishes of government beyond the
Atlantic, which seeks to extend her own empire in
the East We do not interfere with England. Why
does she interfere with us, We advise the London
Times to submit to the decision of the people, and
now of the executive government of Texas"
with patience and moderation; the recognition other
Independence by Mexico will not change their pur-
pose. The prospect Of becoming ''the keystone
of an arch between the United States and Mexico
on the one hand and between the maritime interests
of European and of American nations or the otherp
has no temptation to attract her ambition. She
wishes of be free to be prosperous to be happy with
u.s. That is sufficient for her. Texas has determined
not to 'become the other energetic and independent
power, to share the dominion of North America"
She is right. We can also assure the London
Times athat we shall defend unquestionable
claim to Oregon, as well as to reannex Texas to our
country; and if John Bull wishes to nure us in any
FORM or to break our empire into pieces, he must
take some other mode to crafty his jealousy to
reduce our power. Teras and Oregon will both be
ours, and England cannot prevent it.

A NEW MEXICAN OUTRAGE.


We have Just heard of new Mexican outrage,
the particulars which will doubtless be laid before
our government in the next dispatches from Mr..
Shannon.
Mr. Alexander Atocha, citizen Of the United
States, engaged in extensive commercial enterprises
in the capital where he has resided for several years
wealthy American merchant, was suddenly order
ed to quit the republic, in the short space ofeight
days.
Mr.. Atocha Immediately applied to our minister
for protection, and strong remonstrance was forth
with despatched by him to the Mexican govern
ment. But the allotted period ofeight days passed,
Without reply, and Mr. Atocha WINS forced to aban-
don his dwelling furnished in the most tasteful and
expensive manner to relinquish his lucrative COM
mercial business, and with large family, to depart
for Vera Cruz, whence he sailed for New York,
where he has arrived.
1t is question of political Importance that should
be at once decided by this case, whether our inof
fensve citizens are to be thus driven like dogs from
Mexico, without the allegation of guilt or Of
fence against her laws. M.
