For eight months it has ?at owl like upon the ruins of a country, breeding ill, and boding no good to triend or f;e. It has lieeu u plague. It has revealed h spirit of despotism in its worst forms. In the Ian' gnagn of the National Int^liiffeurer, which review# il? ae'iun, it lias touched the lowest soundimrs of infaint n>u..i. forma, -ft has contemplated sweeping j confiscations, bloody executions, general disfranchisement and disarmament ut whites of the South, together with denials to them of many of the po] i tiers I functions appertaining to citizenship the world over. It has manifested an intention to p.ecipitate civil war by the passage in the House, under circumstances of violent impeachment of the motives of thePresii dent, of a resolution providing for the dis. trihtnion of the government arms among I the States, to the present exclusion of the Sou'h. Congress lias transcended the just powers of government by the arbitrary cxpui ton o' a .United Stales Senator upon party behest, against the best legal upin ion in the Senate, for the sole purpose of depriving the Executive ol effective co operation in aid of the veto nower aU.. - r ? ? bv the expulsion of leading conservative Union members of the House for no other probable reason than that their expert *t:cel Hutliiy whs a sore obstacle to the consummation of mischievous party ma ' chiualione.

Evkr or Tubs.?A end story is connected with lbs name of the writer of the beautiful song "Ever of Thee," w hich has been snug and admired by so tuaoy jo this country and in Europe. Eo'ey Hall was a gentleman by birth and education. Wealthy in his own right, with large expectations, he led a beediesc life, nut choosing his associates, but allowing himself to be drawn into the society of the vicious. LI is property soon disappeared, and he was left without resources to, buy his daily bread. His musical talents had been highly cultivated, but us he never needed them lis scarcely knew to what degree they could be made availab'e. lu his distress, however, he wrote 'his charming bong, "Ever of Thee."? A London publisher gave him one hundied dollars for it, but that amount with Mich a spendthrift would not last long He wrote other songs, but the money not coming as fast as he wished, in a weak moment he forged tho name of his publibber, Hod although every effort was made (even by the publisher) to save him, it was all uy.nec, and poor Eoley Hall went to Newgata, and died broken heart uu neiure ins trial came on, A Phopiiect.? Daniel Webster, in * public speech delivered at Faneuil liall, on the 7th of March, 18o0, made use of the following words : "If the infernal fanatics and Abolitionists ever get power in their hands, they will overndo the Constitution, set the Supreme Court at defiance, make laws to suit themselves, lay violent hands on those who odfsr with them in their opip? ions, or dare <juestion their infallibility, and finally bankrupt t,?ie country and deluge it in blood.'* A statesman never displayed more political sagacity lhar, is here exhibited, nor was a prophecy ever more truly verified.
