Ignorance, or Prejudice?

By Editor

A WRITER in the Brethren at Work says:-- "If the people of the United States elect a man to the Presidency, and will not afterward suffer him to transgress the laws at pleasure, nor make laws to suit himself contrary to the constitution, they are insubordinate."
This was intended to be vastly ironical; but any man who knows no better than to represent any President of the United States as trying "to make laws to suit himself contrary to the Constitution," should not dive very deep into figures of speech. The President has as much to do with framing laws as the Sheriff of a county.
