There are five families with an aggregate

The PROPOSED ABOLITION OF TIM
PREsrDEScY.-The following is an extract
from the memorial of certain German cit
liens in Boston and Roxbury, presented
in the United States Senate on Monday.
by Senator Sumner, asking for the aboi-
ton of the Presidency:
The Presidency is copy Of royalty.
1t is an essentially unrepubiean instisu-
ton, for it exalts an individual in ruling
power over all the rest of the population.
1t is constantly menacing, growing
cause OF danger to the republic, whose
eventual ruin it must inevitably occasion,
II 1T does not cause such ruin by direct
violent subversion, it must effect the same
through corruptian for the Presidency i
the source of universal corruption. In
the opinion of the petitioners the earliest
possible adjustment of the Presidency y
imperatiyely necessary to secure the RE-
public from the loss Of its liberties through
The aseendancy of the executive power.
To avoid these dangers they suggest that
Congress propose an amendment to the
Constitution abolishing the Presidency
and transferring the executive functiona
to an administrative commission or Con.
gressional ministry, to be chosen. BY Con.
