they will see the far reaching saeaciry Of the
man Who ought now 10 be at the head Of az

tween Mexico and Texas. or that conse-
quehce there cannot he doubt. Annex
aiion and war with Mexico are identical.
Now, for one. certainly am not willing 10
involve this country in foreign War for the
object Of acquiring Texas. know there
are some who regard such war with indif-
ference and as irifling affair on account oil
the weakness of Mexico, and her inability TO
nflic, serious injury on this country.-Bui
Icdnnot look upon IL thus lightly. regard
all wars az great calamities. to be avoided il
possible. and honorable peace as the wisesi
and truesI policy OF this country. What the
United States most need are Union, peace
and patience. Nor do think that the weak
ness of power should form motive, in
any case flor inducing us TO engage in or
not to deprecate the evils Of war.

We have learned, with much satisfaction
that "lhe Baker Family" propose very short

Concerts in our village. We have never
had the pleasure TO hear them, but from :he
concurrent voice of warm admiration hich
their performances have elected from the
Press in every section Of the Union. we can

The Federalists use Gen. Taylor's name

has promoted him to the rank Of brigad Ter
general-and that, too, over the heads Of

promotion is great stimulus 10 officers in the

appalling account of massacre recently per.
pelratcd on the Coast of Africa, which, foI
cold-blooded and horrible barbarity, has per.
haps yer been equalled even in the abomi-
nable annals Of slave traffic. Ofthe authen-
ITCHY of The account there cannot be the
isltest doubt, as it is contained in letter
from very intelligent naval officer, statione
at the Island of Ascension, not very far from
the scene of the occurrence, and is as follows
"AscENsroN, Is; JAN. l947.

horrible massacre on the Coast of Africa. A
slave depot, called Gallineos, known TO have
1000 slaves ready for shipping was SO strict
