Excerpt from Fourteenth Annual Report: Presented to the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society, by Its Board of Managers, January 28, 1846

During these proceedings the dwellers in the cities, and they that go down to the sea in ships, were startled by rumors of war which was to spring from this just cause, if just cause of war can be. The indignation of Mexico was to be visited upon the commerce of the country, and many a breast that had never felt a throb of sympathy for the miseries which Annex ation was to work in thousands of human hearts, nor a thrill of indignation at the mingled chicanery and ruffianism which had accomplished it, bled in View of the possible calamity of whale-ships and Indiamen. To calm these fears, the prov idence of the Executive concentrated the main body of the army upon the frontiers of Texas and Mexico, not to say with in the borders of Mexico itself, and bade our fleet to hover, like birds of ill-omen, upon the Mexican sea-coast. Whether it were owing to these displays of superior force, or Whether the inherent weakness and internal dissensions of Mexico pre vented any hostile demonstrations, none were made. The law of the lion prevailed, and the weaker party went quietly to the wall. The slavery party, it seems, knew their men, and had not exaggerated the weakness of the victim they had se lected to despoil. All apprehensions of a Mexican war have long since died away; and, by the last accounts, there is a prospect of a speedy renewal of diplomatic intercourse between the two Republics!
