The Presidents course.

The course of the President-very truly re-
marks the Albany Argus--after all, is to be in
terpreted by the acts of the Administration and
not by his words Several of these acts-the re.
moval of Fremont, the correction administered to
CAMEKoS, and the instructions to SHERMAN and
others-pace the President on the side of the
Constitution, and against the agitators and anar
chists. In these acts we find a sufficient motive
for Democrats and conservatives to sustain the
President wherever they can do so and he has
only to stand firm in his position to insure the
support ofthe people, irrespective of party. The
small faction which assails and conspires against
him is loud in tone and insolent in language, but
is weak and cowardly when put tc the test. Let
him take heart and rally the people to him, and
bill defiance to these conspirators.
