TIE fears entertained by many persons
that IT would have been dangerous for
the President to attend the funeral OF
vice-President Hendricks, augurs no
good to the Republic. When president
of these United States cannot go amongst
the people without the fear Of assassina-
tion, the pure simple days of oEr demo-
cratic institutions are coming to close.
He surely may have that thing to imag-
inc as a possibility but is part of the Wis
ib)e consequences of his high position,
which may be eourted by fear, as well as
averted by independence Of spirit and
freedom of action.
