Tho President himself, whom the people are
taught SO much TO dread, is put BY this in
strument completely within their power. In
the first place, he 10 chosen by their FREQ
suffrages. 10 the second, he 10 chosen only
Tor the short space of four years; so that If
they have been deceived in their choice. or
Tor any cause become dissatisfied with him,
The nuisance is removed, even without any
act OF the people, at the end ui four years.
And, should he be guilty of any high crime
or misdemeanor, IN the mean time, the peo-
pie may demand his impeachment, through
their immediate representatives, end hurl
him from his office What more can the
people want? Such being the constitutional
position of the President, is il not clear that
any constitutional power may he safely con.
hded TO him-that there can be no risk ia
confiding any such power to him, so long as
the people have good sense enough to watch
the manner Of his exercising il. To main

The President is but their agent, entrusted
with portion Of their powers TO be exerted
for their good. Let the people stand by that
President who is faithful and true 10 them.
Ii they will not, they destroy themselves.
