A PREDICTION OF DANIEL WEBSTER
Some Of the Northern papers reproduce
the following:
The Hon. Daniel Webster, Of Mas
sachusetts, in speech delivered in
Washington, just thirteen years ago,
gave it as his opinion that "if the in
formal fanatics and aboIitionists ever
get the power into their hands, they
will override the Consultation, set the
Supreme Court at defiance, change and
make laws to suit themselves, lay
violent hands on those who differ with
them in their opinions or dare question
heir infaIlbility, and finally bankrupt
tne country and deIuge it with blood.
Col. Cushman was arrested at Ripley, Miss,
on Friday last and put in irons as a notorious

The readers of the Press have been appris-
ed of the changes heretofore made in the pro-
prietorship Of this paper, and to-day in accord
ance with what is believed to be very gen.
eral desire of the active friends of the paper
in this city, we announce the formation OF
new firm, consisting OF Messrs. n. A. FOSTER,
and ]. T. GILMAN, who will continue the pub
LEGATION of the Press, as heretofore, under the
firm name of Y. A. Foster d Co., the junior
partner having control of the editorial de-
partment of the paper.
In making the above announcement.we need
only add, that no pains will be spared to
make the Press worthy of the city and the
state, and TO render il a welcome visitor at the
freside of every loyal citizen.
With such arrangements as have been
made for the future, and with the advantages
of past experience. we feel sale in assuring
the reader that the Press will become more
worthy of his attention than we have been
able to make it thus far; at any rate, no rea-
sonable efforts shall be spared to realize this
promise 1t is now less than nine months
since the first number of the Press was issued,
and to-day we have circulation far outnum-
boring any other daily in the city, with a list
constantly increasing at a rate far exceeding
the expectations OF its most ardent friends.
In concluding this brief notice We will sim
ply add, that though we had no legal response
bility Tor the course of the Press fortnight
since, and were not made party to the recent
suit commenced against its proprietor, not the
least pleasure afforded us by the new arrange
ment is that arising from the consciousness of
the fact, that we are to take our full share of
the responsibility, pecuniary and otherwise,
for anything that has occurred to it during
our release from the publishing firm.

Within the last two or three years, the Brit
ish Government has entered upon the work of
digesting the vast mass of papers in the Pub
lie Archives, and the work is announced I'M
der the great heads Domestic" Foreign"
and Colonial" The first volume of each Sc
ries is already published, entitled "Calendar
of State Papers in the Public Archives of
Great Britain.
The first volume of the colonial series brings
to light many papers touching the early histo-
ry OF America not yet published. 1t begins
with the year 1874, and ends with 1860. By
this Calendar it appears that Maine, NO
rombega,) was explored in 1880 and valuable
mines discovered, and that this portion of the
continent had a history forty years before the
settlement at Plymouth.
Many papers are now, for the first time,
brought to light that have escaped the atten-
ton of previous explorers. The Historical
Society petitioned the Legislature to procure
copies of these papers, or such as had not been
published. for the State Library.
There are now four volumes of manuscript
papers in the State Library, copied from the
files in York County, showing the government
of Maine from 1886 to 1862, and the charter to
Sir Ferdina do Gorges of 1859. The addition
al papers lGw sought Tor can be easily obtain
ed through our fellow citizen, Hon. F. II.
Morse, U. S. Consul at London, OF the Amer
lean minister, and sent free of postage, through
the American Embassy. All the expense
called for is that for copying the papers, and
the sum of four hundred dollars was thought
adequate to this object. They should be
copied in a uniform style, fit for binding,
similar to the four volumes of early records
now in the State Library, copied at the ex-
pense of the State.
Until a few years since, the British State
paper Office was shut against the public, and
a special license required for the copying of a
paper. Hence the lack OF knowledge on the
part Of Americans of the contents of papers
on file. By recent act of the Government.
British State papers prior to the year 1850, are
now open to public examination under proper
restrictions. The papers sought for, judging
by the abstracts given of them in the Calen-
dar, are of very great historic value and in
terest to the whole country, and especially to
Maine. St.
