ton Atlas of Saturday, And taking it in connexion
with what did actually occur upon the occasion al

p Webster's remark upon certain other occapion,
when he declared that fet was not the first time in
the hist Try Of human affairs that the and
vigor of the war, did not quite come up to The high
sounding phrases Of the manifesto" As for the
"grand ralIy' announced, we think 1t would puzzle
