. Be il enacted by the Senate aud House of Re
prsssntatives Of the United States Of america in
Congress assembled, That whereas a state ofwa

leo that it was the desire Of the President 10 settle

curity of the two countries; and whereas the

may be entered into; therefore the sum of three
millions Of dollars be, and the same is hereby ap.
propriated, TO enable the President to conclude 9

Gently been enlarged, and greatly improved
The "Times" has always, since we made its ac'
uuaintance, been one of the very best paperspub'
lished along the Ohio river. Its compass was
small, and the editor must have felt all the incon'
viences arising from the "want of room;" yet he
improved, with taste and ability, the field he had
undertaken to cultivate. We rejoice that his pa
irons have enabled him to "extend his territory
and usefulness. Mr.. CHAPMAN, the former edi'
tor and publisher of the "Times" has associated
himself with Mr.. HALLIDAY; and the paper will
hereafter be published under their joint control
Both these gentlemen are, personally, strangers
to us; but they are brethren ofthe same faith'--
battling for the same noble cause, and we hope
that their career will be alongand prosperous one

tue in the sword and money. Mr.. Polk has now
three millions of dollars with which to bribe

AT the latest dates Santa Anna was at San Luis,
urging his troops to "victory or DEATH" and never
to yield aninch solong as an invading foe polluted
the soil of Mexico. The prospect Of buying or
conquering peace is certainly not very fattering,

The above is the title of neat little Work,
containing 159 pages, which has been presented
to us by its author, Rev. H. GILMORE, of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, author of "Lec-
lures on the Evidences of Christianity" The
style of the author is chaste and forcible; and he
brings to his aid innumerable historical facts and
Scriptursl passages to prove his position. We
think his arguments are conclusive and the point
to which he arrives legitimate. Every individ-
ual shouldhave this Book In his Library. The
reputation Of the Author, both as speaker and
writer, will ensure for his book an extensive
perusaI. 1t can be obtained for the small sum
of thirty-seven and a half cents by calling upon
