An Open letter in tfie Presidents Behalf
To The ELitnr u

The Scriptures allow that rulers must
be respected, and it is equally solemn fact that
no ruler, ancient or modern, ever more sorely
needed the fervent prayers of the congregation
than does our PRESENT DelilahiZed Executive: for
he has, inadvertently otherwise, permitted his
hair to be cut entirely too short to leave him suf-
Gent strength, either moral, physical, political
10 enable him to satisfy the general public touch
ing the important query, " Who is PRESIDENT" He
has said himself, desire to make it plain" but
Upto date he has not, and when he allowed throne
TO be stuck up III his rear greater than his throne
pGSc he cOntrived to place alike himself and a
righteous cause he had sworn to defend in more
imminent peril than were either Daniel in the
lions den, Jonah in the whale, OF Moses in the
bulrIlSheS for not only it of his own vOlition
but it plainly invited perple1lity of such far
reaching significance that nothing Short of divers
miracles can afford a semblance of relief, and he
well knows that miracles are not now in vogue
The press is the chief Of the accepted mediums
between right and wrong, and just in proportion
that IL VentateS naked truths the task of making
the worse appear the better side will be increased
and hence the vicious and possessed" can only
be relied upon 10 aid dubious causes and their
lies, like chickens, VIII come home to rooSt.
MOr0l The President cannot too soon let II be dis
timely and publicly known who Is President. L.
