Eddyturs n. Z Sundy Merkury:
The hull bilin of the Kongresshinal
Sisseros and Demostheneezes having re- /
turnt to the buzzoms OF their wives and
families, my steamed friend, the Absolute |
Abe. now rules the roast alone. He ken !
say with the late Robinson Crawso of
Jewin Fernando:
"I'm monnick Of all | curvey.
My right thar is none 10 dispute;
From the centr, all round to the see, |
| ken seze and hnprison and shute."
But thars no caws for alarm, notwith- |
standin the loud crows of the Aberlishln- |
lists. The Nayshin is not goin to civ up
the gost beka.e its Constitooshin is brokin-
Abram the First is no Nero. He wouldn't
hurt a fy Its is troo that the konscrp-
shin Act, the Bank and Lone Acts, the
suspenshin of the Heaviest Corpus Act,
the Idamdity Act, and cetery, make a
reglar Seizer of him, but his Majesty
mean his Eggcellency-is not the man TO
take advantage of the late giner;ll and
gincrous surrender of the ghts of the
States and the people. His antycedents
is not of an aristocrattick karricltcr. Let
US glanst at him for moment
Born of tall but modest paricnts in
kaintucky, he took, at an airly peryud of
his carear to the woods, whar hc slung
nasty AK and malled-rales with wundcr-
fui assidooity- Emergin thence he stud
died navaigshin on board fiat bote of the
largest klass, making hisself thurrowly
ackwainted with the theory of the currsints
and pershin in the poles. Naturally in
Kind to push ahead-witch is allus the
sole instink of crate minds-hc ab;mdond
the watery elemint and took TO the bar
and as he grew in wisdum and stattur.
gradujually arose to emynence- Finerly
that profound statesman, the IIonabul
Horace Greely of Chippaquaw, diskiver-
ed that my Hlustrus Friend wos wanted,
at the he'd of the Government, and bein
put before the people, they rode him on a
rale inter the Preesidenshil Cheer. kwali-
fled alike by natur and eddic;lshin 10 kon-
troll the destinees of the most Enlightened
Nayshin on the face of the Airth, kon-
gress dun perfeckly right in confcrrin on
him orhimitid power, in this tremenjus
crysis- Pressing cases reckwires desprit
remdees-and hens the neccsita for maxim
Abrayham cock of the walk, and placin
the Sword, the PURGE and the Press at his
disposhul.
1 am awar that sertin fackshus persons
pretends not to see the propryety of strong
measures asi in States AT isent IN rebellyun !;
but who knoes how sumo they may be in
rebellyun. A stytch in time saves nync,
and the safest way TO prevent peopcl from
bein sedishous is TO SOW thar mouths up
the momunt they begin TO grumbul Iibty
of Speech and Libty of the Press is all
very we'll when the Republic is not in
dangur, but when it is ef Oriturs and
Edyturs will pitch inter the Administra-
tion, in course they must eggspcct to be
shet up. Is it time, | AK, to pertest
agin the COnstitushun bein suspended
when the Uncion itself is hanging by its
iidsf Away with sech Old Foey thorts,
onwurthy of the Age of Progress, Whyle
the fite lasts let US cubmit magnanny-
mouslv to the Hyer Law.
Besides. as l hey repeatedly said OH
formmer occashins, the Modern F;,thur
of his kuntry is of mvld and mothuIy
natur, and O'rcfiowin with the milk of
human KINDNESS from his toe-nales to his
top-not Altho he has a iiant's power
he is the last man on the phootstool TO use
II like 4 iiant Ennvbody who looks
back at his proceedins durrin the last two
yeres will addmit that. But like scly-
bratcd Blunderbore who went 10 sleap and
had hys Seven Legged boots stolein by an
owdasEus dworf, thars sum reason TO fecr
that he'll be robbid of his perosatyyes bv
Il Cabbynet that's rGthur too much inkline,l
TO ride ruff-shod over the pcopel / don't
sea for my pairt what he waunts with
Constitooshinal Advisers under the suck
emstances. Ef the Constitooshin is sus-
pended why shouldn't the ConstitooShina
Advisors be suspended too i!
