DANIEL WEBsrER's PRoPHycY. The iol.
lowing is an extract from speech delivered
ut Taneuil Hall, March 7th, 1850. by Daniel
Webster: eff the internal fanatics and ADO
litionists ever get power in their hands 'ney
will override che Constitution, set the gu
preme Court ut defiance, change and make
laws to suit themselves, lay violent hands on
those who differ with them in their opinions,
or dare question their iniallability, and final
ly bankrupt the country and deluge it with
HOOD. Daniel w ebster was o true prophet.
The Syracuse Journal says, "Does that
language sound like Webster7 Not exactly
Mr.. Webster was not in the habit Of using
slang. He never spoke Of anybody as being
"iniernal." The whole thing is forgery.
Besides bearing no resemblance whatever to
Mr.. webster's chaste and forciblo diction, he
made no speech in Fanuel Hall on the 9TH OF
March 1850. and the ':extract" imputed to
him as above was never uttered by him in
any other speech"
We called the attention Of the defunct
Augusta Age to this lying quotation, more
than year ago, and it hauld down the state
mcnt; but the Argus and "sch" suall fry,
kept il standing in their columns. twill
probably be trotted out again this campaign.

The REBEL RAID.-Tho recent raid into
Maryland has been great success and q
great failure. The raiders have caused much
destruction Of property, and have obtained
very large amount Of supplies OF immense
Importance to them, since they cannot DO
transported from the South. But they have
utterly failed to divide Grants forces and
thus relieve Petersburg and Richmond, and
Leo must settle down to the stern fact that
Grant is determined to eight it out on that
lne." Meanwhile we have the best OF news
from Sherman. He has at last arrived in
front of Atlanta. Reports have been circu-
lated that that stronghold had been thanked
and captured, but no reliance whatever is to
DO given to them. That it will fall there is
no question, but it will cost struggle; for
il Johnston cannot defend that place, no
cannot mako u successful resistance ut all.
