am sorry 10 say (says the N. York Courier
and Enquirer the difficulty between Mr.. Trist
and General Scott has not been reconciled, and
that il is much 10 be regretted, that man Of
higher intellect, character and intelligence, had
not been sent in Mr.. Trist's place. It is said.
by those who have seen the documents in
M exico, that Mr.. Buchanan's instructions and
the arguments presented by him TO Mexico, in
favor of peace, are drawn with consummate
ability; and such being the case, why was not
more able man selected to carry them into
execution2 If Mr.. Buchanan wants speedy
peace with Mexico, he will at once recall Mr..
Tris,, and send out one Of the first men in the
republic in his place. Indeed, il am not
greatly mistaken, this is already being done,
and the nego,iator will take the course Of Gen.
Scott, and not interfere in military matters, OF
attempt an armistice which might lead to the
destruction Of our army in Mexico.
Col. Haskell let US into bit of private history
which will readily account for the malignant attack
upon his private character. While the brigade was
at Tampico Pillow sent for Haskell to his tent, and
told him that the President would shortly appoint
Major Generals, and concluded his harangue by beg
sing Haskell to recommend him to the President, to
be appointed one Of them. Many honied things
fell from the persuasive lips Of the solicitor for help
in getting the higher rank of Major General but
the scene was finally terminated by Haskeil's refus
ing to recommend him for the Office. This he did
in writing, and after proper consideration Of his du
ty. Here is the secret Of Pillows abuse Of Colonel
Haskell. The statement is full Of illustrations Of
this character

On the, breaking out Of the war Congress
by an almost unanimous vote placed at the

not the President give Generals Taylor and

sabdue the whole Mexican power!"

Fellow citizens, the speeches which are
made in opposition TO this war, are said 10 EN-
anate from the peace party; but say that
they are made by those who are postponing the
peace eternaiy = Cot. Doniphan's speech.
II follows, therefore, that they who are OPP
posed TO the war are the war party! Il can't
be said that the gallant Coloneps logic on this
occasion is as sharp as his sword.

JUsr LIKE BM.--Gen. Taylor had occasion
to visit Point Isabel, after the battle Of Buena
Vista, aud the captain OF the steamboat had
reserved suite Of state rooms for the Generals
accommodation. There were several sick and
wounded volunteers on the boat, EN- route for
New Orleans, who had to take the wayfare
incident 10 crowded boat. and particularly so
on this occasion. General Taylor soon saw all
ibis, and at once ordered these men to be placed
IL his state rooms, and proper attention paid
them. Ii was rather cold, rainy day, when
this occurred. The deck hands and many
others on the boat did not know Gen. Taylor.
The wind blew high, and the fremen had
raised sail in front of the boilers TO protect
themselves from the rain-and under this sail
there were some old mattresses here General
Taylor laid down, and went to sleep. AT sup
per time great inquiries were made for the
General, and servants sent of TO look him up.
But he could not be found A., last some one
going below, inquired Of a fireman if he had
seen anything OF such and such man the
fireman said no, but added, :" there is clever
old fellow asleep there, under the sail, IN front
OF the fire ~ II was General Taylor. Yes,
sweet indeed must be the sleep Of such a man,
who has the heart 10 change places with the
poor sick soldier, as Taylor did on this occa
sion; such humanity stands out in bold relief,
aud greatly miligates the evils incident TO war.

u We hope all our subscribers wili loan the
present No. of the CaledoniOn TO such of
their neighbors as are willing to read the re-
view Of President Folks Message, copied into
our paper, from the National Intelligencer.-
The Intclligencer was the organ of President
Madison Gas we understand) and the leading
Republican paper when Madison and Monroe
were at the head of National affairs.
The review is trumphant-and must con.
vince every candid mind that the war with
Mexico was wrong in its inception, and is
wrong now and forever will be-that, if so dis
posed, it could as easily have been avoid
ed as the author of it could raise his hand to
his head;--and Furthermore, that il was not on
ly courted by the President, but that he COM
meneed IL.
In ability the review is far superior TO the
Message; indeed, it is eloquent and powerful,
any in point of composition rarely exceled by
any thing to be found in print
The documentary evidence embodied in the
review shows conclusively that not only in
his last, but also in his preceding Message, the
President of the United States attempted TO
palm Off a stupendous fraud upon the people
The civilized world will so understand it, and
the partzan and paid presses of the admins
tration, with all their servility, will not be a
bic to shroud the truth by their sophstry and
misrcpres

Mr. S. w. Fowle-Sr:-Ih have seen much
of the virtue of 'Wstar's Baisam of Wild
Cherry that feel it my duty to add my tes-
timony in its praise. My son about Ia years
of age, has for the last ten months been afflict-
ed with severe cough, pains in the side and
body, and gradual wasting, until he was but
a mere living skeleton. | had had the advice
ofthree Physicians, but none of them could
give him any relief, and gradually yet surely
he seemed to be sinking into the tomb. Hap
pening accidentally to see some of your ''Free
Almanac's" we felt as though the Balsam
would help him, there was some cases that
had been cured when they were as bad as he
was. / therefore procured bottle of DR..
Kidder, the Agent in this place, and before he
had used all of it he began to grow better, and
by using three bottles his cough was all gone,
and he is now enjoying good health, for which
he is solely indebted through the blessing of
God to Wistars Balsam of Wild Cherry.

Below we publish some Of the more impor-

Speaker Winthrop. The committees are YER
y satisfactory to the Wings, and probably ju
dicious. John NJ. Bolts, of Virginia, strenu
Gus opposer of the Anne xaton of Texas and
the war consequent upon that act, leads on the
Military Committee. Mr. B. lost his election
three years ago for opposing annexation, but
he boldly denounced the war, and on that
question came off victor last spring. The
Hon MIR Smith of Connecticut, is Chairman
ofthe Committee of Foreign Affairs. He, too,
is an enemy of aggressive war, and neither
from him or, Mr. Bolts will the friends ofthe war
and the enemies ofhumanty get much aid in
further wasting the money of our people, and
in visiting with death and the barbarities of
war of invasion, the innocent men women end
children of a conterminous Republic.

MORE DEATHs by ME SMALL POX.

y.
Another death has occurred al Newbury
from the Small Pox. Mrs Stevens, wife Of
DIR. Stevens, died last Monday. The case at
North Havcrhill, mentioned in our last, has
proved fatal. Mr. Nelson Sampson, a young
man, who was 4 student at the Ncwbury Sem
mary the fall term, died on the 18th.
There are more new cases at Newbury, but
they confined, with one exception, to the
families where the disease had pre- viously made
lis appearance. The case excepted is that of a
person who had called at a house where the
disease existed.
Elder S. p. Williams will accept our thanks
for his kindness in furnishing us with particu.
lars ofthe progress of this noisome disease at
Newbury, and the assurance of our sympathy
in his affection in the loss of a son, and the
prost "a ton of one or more membersof his fami-
ly by the prevailing epidemic.
How the disease was introduced at New
bury is yet mystery. Rumor has attributed
its introduction to the laborers 0rish) upon the
Rail Road. This is a mistake, as we are as
sured by me deal gentleman who visited their
hubitatons and found no indications of the
disease. Furthermo re, it is almost univer-
sal custom among the Irish to vaccinate early
in life-a sort of religious duty which the pa
rents discharge towards their children. The
Christian Messenger also asserts that it did not
have its origin with the Irish.
We learn from Plainfield that there are sew
eral cases of the disease in that town. 1t will
be rccollccted that student from Newbury
carried the disease to P.-Mr c. w. Gushing
of Burke.
So late Wednesday evening ofthe present
week there had been no netc case Of the Small
Pox at Waterford, which circumstance rem
ders it a matter of some doubt to the charac-
ter of the disease of which Miss Moulton died
There is sickness in the same family, but we
are told that it is not, probably, the Small Pox.
Il is now suggested that Miss Moulton may
have died of malignant Canker Rash, yet
some are ofthe opinion her case was one of
malignant Small Pox, attended with only
slight external symptoms of the disease, and
consequently a case in which the disease is
less likely TO affect others
