admit that lie is shrewd and generally a correct thinker on many imbor important nt subjects that come before the senate yet he be would not do for a ruler he ite has been spoken ef of as a candidate for the united states presidency but he is thought blought to be alton altogether ther unfit for that hi high 11 position in in the nation his training has led him to distrust tho the deop people e in in fact to lose affection for them and to consider them as serfs whom lie vol r lias has right aright a to oppress and to plunder of their liberties and laii lands Is I he le would rule rulo with a high hand and as tyrannical as any british lordia he lie had bad the opportunity he ile would foster and protect land mor monopolies 10 and found an aristocracy in the republic that would gobble up
