votes rather than serve the best interests OF
the country. His foreign policy is apt to be
more aggressive than it would be after cleo
ton. Measures of domestic policy are likely
to be considered more with a view to their
immediate effect upon the minds Of the peoo-
pie than in the light of the permanent ad-
vantage of the commonwealth. Unpleasant
duties are not apt to be shirked. Offences
committed by popular men controlling votes
are frequently overlooked. Acquiescenceih
the follies of the hour is often feigped. Few
Presidents, pending canvass, would surren-
der Mason and Sildell or suppress a
Fenian outbreak. Some would even go so far
as to justify an Ostend manifesto or the
bombardment of Greytown. Hardly any
could refuse to reward desertion from the
enemy or extraordinary efforts in the ranks
with Office. These objections, it will be no
ticed, apply with equal force to second
term as to third, and in practice Presi-
dent must have extraordinary claims to haye
a chance Of either.
On the other hand, it has hardly possible
to exaggerate the importance to the country
of retaining the services of faithful and ex-
perienced magistrate. The United States
have not always been fortunate in their chief
rulers. They have discovered that Presi-
DENTAL elections, like marriages, are lottery.
They have sometimes drawn rather queer
lots therein. Tn times past, when the coun-
try was small and isolated from the rest OF
the world, these accidents mattered little.
Men blushed for the President, and contain
ed, their souls in patience till his four years
expired. But the PROCESS Of events, and
our present rank as q first class Power, have
changed all this, we cannot afford now to
have a blunderer or blusterer,in the Chief
Magistracy Of the Republic, 1t vital, that
the Presidency should be held by a safe
man. Small errors aud weakness We can
well overlook and forgive. But We cannot
afford to make any more experiments to
elect men to the Presidency who may turn
out well, but who, for the sake of personal
renown, may involve us in foreign wars, or
rskindle the dying embers ofdomestie strife.
We can bear with much for the sake Of as
sured peace and safe government 1t is hard
60 say. what price we could not afford to pay
rather than elect another Buchanan or
