PRESIDENT OR KING ,

There is little passage in Mr.. Stewards speech at
Bath Creek the 9Th inst, which is deserving OF
even q late attention. ado you want Andrew John
son President or King :" asked the Premier. What
Mr. Seward meant exactly do not pretend to know,
for he has said great many odd things since he
started upon his travels but for ourselves, putting
this and that together can only interpret this
utterance as a threat, especially the population Of
Bath Creek does not appear to have been in very
amable mood. In fact, at the time, there was a
pretty little game of bullying going on upon both
sides, into the spirit of which the President or King
Immediately entered, asking the citizens how they
could be 50 "lost to propriety" not to treat him
like gentleman" After this interrOgatory, the
report says that there was "more disturbance" but
the train moved on without any popular resort to
ancient eggs or to cats departed this life.
After this expressive hint, and some others dropped
upon different occasions both by the Master and the
Man. it cannot be held that the people of the United
States have not had sufficient warning Of the fate
awaiting them should they misbehave themselves.
and for ought we know a frst-rate Broadway house
may have already received an order to purchase the
crown Jewels. ." / am the State" said Louis XIV. /;

quality which never deserts him. lie is first person,
singular number and nominatiye case wherever he
goes or whatever he is doing. He is nothing if not
Mons Veto, like poor foolish Louis XVI Like other
Kings, he is always talking about himself, what he
has done, what he is doing what he means to do and
what Congress cannot make him do. Other Presi-
dents have vetoed bills but no President ever before
made such parade of his authority. lie has con-
fused notion of doing something decisive of execut-
ing some kind Of coup d6a of chastisng Congress in
some dreadful way not clearly defined, and so he
meanders up and down the land as if he were
separate estate of the realm, omnipoent, omnscient

must be owned, is dulcet fix for the great Republic
to have got into
We are quite willing to admit that if the Constitu-
ton Of the United States confers upon one man I'M.
limited solo and irresponsible power, it makes but
small difference whether we call him King or
President If we are to have the thing, the title is
not Of the least consequence. If there be no remedy
for the present state of things let u.s. in the name of
consistency and compon sense, have coronation

The conservative" Qate Rebel journals of the

is plain that they all feel what some Of them ayow,
that 1.-the Radicals are bound to sweep the loyal

attempt to establish Impartial Suffrage; whereof it
says:
Indeed here is main We rally and
