THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT AND
THE PRCSSIAN KING.

THE AMERICAN PRBSIDFNT AND
THE PRESSIAN KING.
Willie Andrew the First has only threatened
to get the peoples representatives at Wash
ington out OF the way, Frederick William has
! actually carried similar threat into effect,
80 far us the Pr1ssian representatives at Ber-
lin are concerned, and summarily ordered the
close Of the Chambers. The honest plebeian
blood Of Tennessee has so far proven superior
10 ths royal lineage Of Hohcnzollern, and
while the American Congress Is pursuing the
even tenor OF its patriotic way, the Prusslan
Chambers are violently scattered to the
winds.
Rating the wide gull between mighty Re-
public like America and comparatively in
significant monarchy like Prussin, there Is yet
a certain analogy between tho characters Of
The respective national chiefs and the present
conflict between them and the respective Leg
! islAtures, which Is not without interest
America Ind her Andrew The Great In Andrew
jackson and her Andrew the Little In Andrew
! johnson. Prusna also had her Frederick the
Crest, and now has her Frederick the
Little. Though under very different
circumstances the King of Prussia
@as expected TO abide BY tho prio-
c'pics ol the Constitution or Prussia, as re-
1ofmed os Inc revolution Of 1s4S, as Andrew
johnson, after the assassination Of his prede-
cessor, by those Of the American Constitution,
a. indicated by the overthrow Of the Slave-
holders Rebellion and Slavery. Both per
eonaces are alike remarkable for Their kindly
dispositions and their inpulsive aud cratic
proceedings BET both ofth have their In
Jnd'cious coamseAors-ah King his Bismark7
ana tAe ftee1aent us se"ard-and both have
been ofatted INTO warfare against the people.
Tho King OF Prussia is goaded on in his course
hy handful Of feudallets, and the American
President IN hts By pro-elavcry rabble.
though by principles as divergent as repub-
lie Is from monarchy. yet prompted by The
same tnfatuations, these nntagop1stic rulers
are 1etrogEnding toward one and the same in
cvitnble abyss-the King toward tyrsuuy. and
the PteeIdent toward slavery.
Count Bismark, ike Nr. Seward. acliered
the admiration Of the world by diplomatic
craft, which, though conflicting 1t times with
the dictates OF Justice and wisdom. yet re-
suited in the triumphs OF their rrsnrctIra
countries, 20 far At least as the foreIrn affairs
