How Dickens Reads.

1t appears settled that CHARLES
DICKENS, the great English novelist,
is coming to America for the purpose
of giving series of his popular read
ings in the large cities. 1t also APP
pears to be conceded that he is to be
extended cordial, if not an enthusiast
tic, reception, despite his carrica lures
and ridicule of American manners af-
ter his visit several years ago, and
which at the time caused bitter feel
ing against him. Time and the read
ing of his charming novels have soft
ened our indignation; and it is really
suggested that his comic delineations
OF our characteristics were founded
on facts" At any rate, we have
passed through too much of late
years to remember the criticisms of
foreign travellers before the war. His

Let the President Resign! Z"


The New. York Herald, which week
ago was the most bitter of the Pres
ident's opponents, and was very abu-
sive of Congress for not causing
his impeachment at once, has sudden
ly, and with its usual Inconsistency,
become Mr.. JoHNsoN's most decided

with the above caption. 1t says that
the radical Congressional party are
bent upon the ruin of the country,
and will as completely as possible take
all power from the President
and make him complete cy-
pher. 1t would have him an
ticipate his impeachment, and
reinforcement. by resigning at once.
1t says it is the only thing which will
restore the country to peace and pros
perity. 1t would have him resign and
demand RI ANTON Of all the States
to take measures againet the political
ruin which Congress is hurting
against the Republic. 1t says he
should tell the people that he is pow
erless to resist the attempts of Con-
gress to assume dictatorial power and
inaugurate revolution; and that he
should show them the terrible politi-
cal picture as it exists. IF the people
do not accept him as the Savior of his
country and their triumphant leader
in this bold coup d'eta', then is the
country already dead, and naught but
a long night of anarchy and revolu-
tiop can awaken it from its lethargsl",
We : enthusiastically endorse the
programme of the Herald. We
earnestly hope that Mr.. JOHNSON will
=" see it in that light" and resign at
once. We would be glad to see him
try the temper of the people. And
if the people do not accept him as a
8 leader there will be at least one
good result to the country-it will be
rid of his Accidency. And besides it
would be cutting the Gordian knot of
so completely. Andy
should follow the Herolds advice.
