No Peace. the most reliable authorities say, that
there is not the least prospect in the world of peace
with Mexico. There are jealousy and division be-
tween the government and its officers, on our side
and on that of Mexico, unutterabe hatred of the
invaders, and determination never to submit to Them.

1t will be by reference to another column, that
this distinguished statesman and orator is about to Wis
it Vermont, and spend few days in speaking to the
people, upon that subject which, more than any other
interests the political and religious divisions of our
country at the present day.
Mr.. Hale is a man of strength and influence, and
has probably done to arrest the attention and en-
tighten the minds of the people of New Hampshire
Massachusetts and Maine, upon the character of A.
merican oppression, than any other individual. Being
a political man, for several years a member of Con
gress, and long conversant with the Just designs Of
republican government, and the pcrversion ofthose
designs which has resulted from the federation of slave
y he is enabled to bring out facts which serve to show
the relation which this system sustans to our land and
how utterly it is opposed to the prosperity of free
people.
We take great pleasure in making this announce
ment to the people of Vermont; and since much effort
has been put forth to secure his services we now ask
the people to make an effort to hear him. not for the
sake of satisfying your speculative desires, but that
you may hear a faithful dissemination of true demo.
cratic principles, and learn from one who is phian
thropis what is your duty in reference to the honor
and highest interests ofyour State and nation.

Mr. Caripheal had formerly been employed in This
village ourneymun barber but from i'll health had
been confined to his room for the last few weeks Be-
ing inspired with desire to "die among his friends, "
who reside at St Johns, C. E., he venured to leave
this place last Thursday morning, with the hope of
reaching them but the intense heat of the day, the
dust and fatigue of the journey were too much for
his decayed nature, and it sank beneath the load
Those who conducted him, supposed him to be asleep
for sometime previous to o'clock, P M when they
had occasion to awaken him, but found that in a mo-
ment when they were unconscious, his spirit had de-
parted

Consistency.

The Enquirer, in closing it's account of the
killing of two or three men, by the firing of can
non, in welcome of the Volunteers, say:
This dreadful accident has cast a gloom
throughout the city of Covington, where all so
lately was mirth and JOY
Thus, it appears, that the sudden death of two
or three men cast gloom over whole city, the
inhabitants of which, were Doing all in their
power to heap honors upon those who had recent
ly joined in contests in which $4,000 human be-
ings were suddenly launched into eternity. The
means of destruction were similar, nor was the
loss any more necessary than in the accident
above mentioned
Does the fact that the parties we're in a state
of warfare, and that 0,0G0 of the number were
of another people, and spoke different Ian
guagc, make it any less truly melancholy calam-
ity! Have not those McXlcans who have fallen,
widows and children who will mourn their loss?
Have they not friends and acquaintance in the
cities and villages in which they have dwelt over
whom gloom will be cast, when their names
are read among the list the dead!
A species of barbarity is exhibited by those
who while they speak mournfully about the
death Of two or three strangers, will sing pGans
and make the welkn ring with huzzas, on the
announcement of battles in which thousands
have been slain, being those, too, by whom they
have never felt that they have been injured, and
against whom they have never entertained ma
licious feeling. This is worse than the rejoicing
of the cannbal when he sees his intcnded victim
He wishes to CRAFTY his appetite,
When men universally, learn enough of chris
tianity,, to regard each other as belonging to
the same great family, and having equal rights,
they will not be guilty of such inconsistency
