Judas Iscariot Judas! There was {

Was it Thad. Stevens Was it Wendell
Phillips Was it Charles Sumner
If it were not that the blasphemy shocks
: US, we should gather from all this that it
dweit in the mind Of the President of the
United States that the only reason why he
was not Judas was that he had not been
| able to find Christ toward whom to play
the Judus. II will appear that this bit of
instruction., given in pursuance OF his
constitutional obligation, was received with
cheers and Kisses. Whether the cheers were
| that certain patriotic persons named by him
might be hanged, or the kissing was because
of the inability of the President to play the
| part of Judas, for the reason before stated,
am sorry to say the evidence will not inform
us. His answer makes the President say
| that 1t is his " duty to express opinions con-
corning the public characters, and the con-
duct, views, purposes, objects, motives and
| tendencies of all men engaged in the public
service Now, as the character, motives.
tendencies, purposes, objects and views Of
Judas alone had opinions expressed about
them on this fitting occasion (althOugh he
seemed to desire to have some others, whose
names he mentioned, hanged), shall leave
his counsel to inform you what were the
public services of Judas IscariOt, to say moth
ing of Moses, which 1t was the constitutional
duty and right of the President of the United
States to discuss this particular occasion.
But l viii not pursue this revolving exhibit

Cnited States, in the darkness OF night, ban
dying epithets with each other. CRYING /

WHO can read this account of this exhibition,

Nation, without blushing and hanging his
head in shame the finger Of scorn and

country where any man may aspire to the
office OF President. Is not our Government:

people for the President Of the United States. ,
He thrown to the surface by the whirl- s
pool OF civil war, and carelessly, we grant, Z
elected to the second place in the Govern :
nen., without thought that he might ever t
