THE PRESIDENTS RESIGNATION.
Some time ago story was put in circulation to the
effect that the President had said Cabinet
ing that he contemplated resgninR the Presidency
for the good of the country On good authority
trRdicted the story at the time. 1t grew out of
fact that the President sad several occasions
II he believed his resignation the sacrifice of
mis- lie could restore harmony TO the country, he
would gladly give either.
But to resign with any other assurance, or merely
to yield to radical fanatic whose elevation
would only add the peril of the country and
the establishment of negro supremacy in the South
and the oppression of the Southern whites would in
his opinion, only be desertion OF his duty in the
hour OF danger, and a criminal abandonment OF the
trust which he has sworn to protect defend. II
may be written down, therefore, that the President
has no idea of resigning.
