SAMUEL ARBUCKLE.
Lob Angeles, December 9th, 186S.
'Wbo Is President!
The question was put to us yesterday, "Who is
President of tbe United States f" Under one aspect, the question presents no difficulties of solution ; under another, it becomes a subject of complicated perplexity,—'Who is President?" If the
querist wished to learn wbo is now President,
'•lected by a majority of the people, and in conso-
nnnce with the requirements of tbe constitution
and his oaib, we should answer unhesitatingly
that we have no President. When Cincinnatus
was called from bis plough to assume tbe dictatorship, he was vested lor a time witb unlimited
powers. But tbe authority conferred upon tbe
Chief Magistrate of these United States is very limited, and limited witb an unmistakably precision
by a written constitute n. Mr. Lincoln, by a singu
lar perversity ol construction of tbat instrument
has been contented to assume but one powes, that
of commander-in-Chief of the army and navy;
nut under cover of that single prerogative, he has
usurped every constituiional power, legislative aud
judicial, as well as extended his executive authority fullv as far as the'autocrat of Russia would dare
extend his over the perls of Lithuuia or exiles of
Siberia.
vVitbout tbe form of trial, members of a Legislature, on their way to the performance of their
official duties, have been seized under I is lettres du
catchet and bastiled. Harmless ceizens bave been
dragged from their homes and occupations and
confined in prison, without a bearing, and denied
even the chance ol trial. Freedom of speech, even
ibe privacy ol social intercourse, bas been gagged
tbe press has lost its freedom, the post office bas
been put under espionage, the telegiapb is subjected to censorship, and and tbe polls are governed
by the bayonet! We might protract ibe enumeration of wrongs inflicted by the President to the
length of tbe Declaration of Independence; but
we need not put salt lo wounds so recent lbat all
feel tbem. We can say, we think, we have no
President—no President as regulated and ruled by
tbe Constitution.
Who ie President? Mr. Lincoln is so nominally
—nominally, because he is a choice of tbe minority, and nominally because, according to his own
confession, yielding to outside presure, be abandons tbe wheel aud permits others to handle the
spokes even under the heaviest sea way. Who
these volunteer quartermasters are, we have retrained to inquire. We never peep into his kitchen
to ascertain wbat he is going to bave for dinner,
and we bave as little inclination to lorm any acquaintance wiifi political scullions. We leave the
President in a lull spirit ol toleration, to enjoy bis
own peculiarity of tastes. By the outside presure
we cannot understand him to mean tbe members ol
bis cabioet, Mr. Seward, absorbed in military predictions, circulars to to our envoys, and erudite
correspondence wilh foreign powers ; Mr. Stanton,
vascillating in the cboice of commanders for the
army of tbe Potomac ; Mr. Welles, busy in managing contracts, and Mr. Chase, constantly employed
in superintending the engraving of his money,
bave no time to interfere with tbe President's correspondence with Gen. Grant, or bis literary efforts in the production ol proclamations.
We have told our friend who is not President;
we cannot, he must be convinced, really gratify
bis curiosity by informing him who Is.— Washington Union.
What Radicalism Means—For the beoefli ot
those wbo are ignorant of the meaning of the
word Radicalism, we give tha following analysis:
R uie of ruin,
A bolitionism.

C onstitution—a thing of tbe past. «
A gaiost the Constitution.

I From the New York Day Book.J
la there a Rebellion !
One of the most poweiful means tbat tbe oppon
enents ofthe democracy bave ever adopted to accomplish their objects, is the use of false terms,
wbioh carry with them, i the popular mind, c r-
t i, i lev table conclusions. Aid wbat is still
more remaikable, pi rl aps, is tbe lact that lhe dent-c atie iress.'witb few excepiiuns, fall into t e
babit of using these false terms, thus directly aiding thyr bitter enemies. The great power the
republican or abolition party wields in the litera
lure of the country, ol course, gives them urea-
advantages, but there is no reason why democratic
papers should increase them by voluutarily adopt
ing thoir party slang. For instances, tbe words
•'rebellion' and "rebel" have no proper signific
ance in our system of government at all. State?
cannot rebel, and as there has been no insurrection
within a State, iu opposition to the sovereign
authority of the State, of course there bas beeu
nothing, in the entire course of this war, whicb so
much as even resembled a rebellion. Yet almost
the entire democratic press call the southern men
"rebels " and their refusal to acknowledge, as their
President, a man elected by the North to rule over
tbem. "a rebellion."
The democrats, in the canvass of 1860, universally t.dd the lepublicans that the election of a
sectional candidate on aplatfoim of avowed bosti
lily to a portion ofthe States, was a virtual abrogation of the Constitution, But when the States
affected had each in its sovereign capacity acted
upon that law, whicb is above and beyond all laws
and all Constitutions—the law of self preservation
—a iarge number of tbe leaders and members ol
tbe democratic party turned right about, eat their
own words, and-declared that these mem were l,re
bels.'and tbis gigantic rebellion must be put down.
Now, the fact" of the case are few and Bimple.
The whole issue between tbe Norlb, as represented by Mr. Liucoln, and the South, was upon the
construction of tbe Constitution. Mr. Lincoln
said uegroes were as equally included in its provisions aB white men—that Africans were an fully
entitled to ciiizensbip as whites. The South, on
tbe contrary, said the Constitution was correctly
construed in tbe Dred scott case, and tbat negroes
could not be citizens of the Uuited States. Here,
then, is tbe great and mighty Issue tbat bas convulsed our country for tbe past three years. Mr
Lincoln was tbe iepresentative of tbe policy wbicb
avowed, as its object, tbe transformation of four
mill'ons of negro "slaves" ihto four millions of free
and equal American citizens. The Federal Government, the very agency which tbe southern
States had united witb us to form for their own
"domest c tranquility." was to be used to destroy
it. Mr. Lincoln had no right to repudiate the
Dred Stott construe ion of the Constitution, even
if be did not agree witb it. It was the law of tbe
land. He was bound to execuie it, yet be flur.g
his defiance in the very lace of the ventrable Chief
Justice himself. He refused, aod his party refused to pledge themselves to stand by tbe Constitution as it had been judicially interpreted.
What right have sucb meu to'call other people rebels, or to even take upon tbeir lips any words ex
presive of patriotism or devotion to country? They
are th.mselves carrying on tbe goverment under
a repudiation of the Constitution, as judicially
conslrued. They cannot wait the slow change of
the Judges, but tbey boldly call upon their paid
Attorn.-y General, who gives an opinion lo order
that the Dred Scott decision is unconstitutional,
and tbey declare it bo, aod act upon it accordingly.
Every dollar tbat has been spent, and every life
bas been lost, have been given for tbe sole and
• nily puipose o' forcing on Ihe country the abolition construction of \the Constitution.
The people will, eventually., see this plainly and
distinctly. Instructively ibey feel it now. but tbe
Democratic leaders ke.p on telling the people that
the South are "rebels" against the Constitution,
and must be put down, while tbe real truth is, that
the Constitution is just wbat ihey asked, nothing
more nor less, and just what tbey always asked,
nothing more nor less, and just what they would
doubtless be willing to take to-day, il ihey could
be sure of getting it and sure of having it stood by
afterwards. But tbe Constitution is just wbat, ol
all things Lincoln and bla party aie determined
tbey shall not bave. Nearly all the leading republicans bave declared tbat tbe Constitution is
"played out," aod we are now, therefore, carrying
on a war to force the South to submit to tbe Obi
cago Platform. If tbis were boldly aud honestly
avowed, there would be less excuse for the wrung,
but to call eight millions ot people "rebels" because tbey will not submit to tbe abolition constitution, is one of tbe most unjust, wicked and
sahmeful acts ever perpetreted in modern times.
Mr. Wendell Phillips boldly avows tbe reason why
be, wbo has always been a disunioni t, is uoW a
unionist. It is be says, "because tbe Union now
means liberty to tiie blacks. But if it ever settles
down inio any, the least systematic toleration ol
slavery, it will find me, as belore,its foe." Southern men, therefore, are "rebels" because they do
not submit to tbe programme of Pbi.lipa and Gar-
ison I Do democrats appreciate sufficiently the
wrong tbey do when tbey lend encouragement
to the use of such language ? Let us banish tbe
words •'rebel" and "rebellion" from democratic
papers. They tend to keep up tbe war spirit, and
tbe natural inference Is tbat we regard the abolition party as tbe defenders of tbe Constitution,
while the real tru h is, that it is trying to overthrow and revolutionize it, and will not give the
South the Constitution 1
■ Friday Nut a Day af III Omen.
From time Immemorial Friday has been frown-
upon as a day of ill omen. And though tbis pre-
judice is lass prevalent now than it was ol yore,
when superstition had general sway, yet there are
many, even in this matter-of-fact day of ours,
who would hesitate oo a day to inauspicious I*
negin an undertaking of momentous import. Bow
many brave mariners, whose htarie unmoved could
meet ibe wildest lury ol their ocean borne, would
blanch to even beud tbeir tails ou Friday 1 But to
-how witb what Utile reason this feeling isindulged
in let us note the following facts in our history M •
naiiun; aud we Americans have not to dread tht
latal day:
On Friday, August 3, 1492, Christopher Columbus Bailed on his great voyage of discovery. On
l-'riday, October 12, 1492 be first discoveid land.
Ou Friday, 4tli oi January, 1493, be sailed on
hie return to Spain, which, it be had not reached
in safety, the happy result would never bave been
known, wbicb led to tbe settlement of this Tall
continent.
On Friday, March, 1493, be arrived at Paloi In
safety.
On Friday, November 22, 1493, he arrived ■*
Hispauiola, ou bis second voyage to America.
On Friday, March 6, 1495, Henry VII., of England gave to John Cabot bis cummissioo, wbicb
led to tbe discovery ot America. This was tbe
first American paper in- England.
Ou Friday, September 7. 1575. Melendez founded St. Aueustine, tbe oldest settlement in the United Stales by more than forty years.
On Friday. November 10, 1620, the Mayflower,
with tbe Pilgrims, made the harbor of Province-
town, nnd on that same day. signed tbat august
compact, the forerunner ot our present .Constitution.
On Friday, December 12. 1620, tbe Pilgrims
made their final landing at Plymouth Rock.
Ou Friday, February 22,1732, George Wssh-
iugton, the Father of American Freedom was
born.
On Friday, June 16 1775, Bunker Hill was seized and fortified.
On Friday, October 7, 1777, the surrender of
Saratoga was made, wbicb had such power
and influence in induciug Franco to declare for
our cause.
On Friday, September 22,1780, the treason of
Arnold was laid bare, which saved os from destruction.
On Friday. October 19,1781, the surrender of
Yorktown, the crowning glory to American
arms.
On Friday, July 7, 1776, the motion in Congress was made by John Adams, and seconded by
Richard Henry Lee, tbat tbe United States colon-
is were, and of right ought to be, free and independent.
Thus by numerous examples we see that bow-
ever it may be witb other nations, Americans need
never dread to begin on Friday an undertaking,
no matter how momentous it may be.
Alexander and Abraham.—As onr readers are
aware, perhaps, there has grown up a very remarkable fondness between lhe Czar of all the Russia*
and the Abraham of all the negroes, between the
born despot and the usurping tyrant. And there
are good reasons for this extraordinary friendship.
Alexander gave freedom to all the serfs by pro-
c amatiou ; Abrtiham gave treedom te all tbe slaves thit belonged to people who refused to recognize bim, by proclamation. Alexander, to make
things equal is using the power of his vast empire
to cmsh out the Pole, who nnmber greatly more
than his freed serfs; Abraham, to carry out his
favority theory of '-compensation," is using all he
has usurped to enslave ail the masters of the negroes made free by proclamation, and in addition,
is endeavoring to snl jugate the per pie of the free
States as well. Alexander peimitsno such obstruction to his arbitrary will as a consiitution ;
Abraham puts his huge foot on one whom he swore
to support and piotect. The Czar allows no habeas
corpus; the Atmrican tyrant suspends it at will.
The Russian Bear banished State or po itical offend -rs to Irozen Siberia; the American Buzzard
sentences its victims to the burning Tortngas and
communicates their exile to Dixie. Thus in several important particulars there is a resemblance
between the two, wilh just enough of the spice of
variety to makeall agreeable. But Abiabam ought
to remember that born Czars have no love in really
for piebian despots. The Lion lore to pieces the
Ass that essayed to play the Lion. The hug ol the '
Russian Bear, now so playful and friendly, may be
suddenly turned into a death squeeze.—Jiugtn*

Lob Angeles, December 9th, 186S. 'Wbo Is President! The question was put to us yesterday, "Who is President of tbe United States f" Under one aspect, the question presents no difficulties of solution ; under another, it becomes a subject of complicated perplexity,—'Who is President?" If the querist wished to learn wbo is now President, '•lected by a majority of the people, and in conso- nnnce with the requirements of tbe constitution and his oaib, we should answer unhesitatingly that we have no President. When Cincinnatus was called from bis plough to assume tbe dictatorship, he was vested lor a time witb unlimited powers. But tbe authority conferred upon tbe Chief Magistrate of these United States is very limited, and limited witb an unmistakably precision by a written constitute n. Mr. Lincoln, by a singu lar perversity ol construction of tbat instrument has been contented to assume but one powes, that of commander-in-Chief of the army and navy; nut under cover of that single prerogative, he has usurped every constituiional power, legislative aud judicial, as well as extended his executive authority fullv as far as the'autocrat of Russia would dare extend his over the perls of Lithuuia or exiles of Siberia. vVitbout tbe form of trial, members of a Legislature, on their way to the performance of their official duties, have been seized under I is lettres du catchet and bastiled. Harmless ceizens bave been dragged from their homes and occupations and confined in prison, without a bearing, and denied even the chance ol trial. Freedom of speech, even ibe privacy ol social intercourse, bas been gagged tbe press has lost its freedom, the post office bas been put under espionage, the telegiapb is subjected to censorship, and and tbe polls are governed by the bayonet! We might protract ibe enumeration of wrongs inflicted by the President to the length of tbe Declaration of Independence; but we need not put salt lo wounds so recent lbat all feel tbem. We can say, we think, we have no President—no President as regulated and ruled by tbe Constitution. Who ie President? Mr. Lincoln is so nominally —nominally, because he is a choice of tbe minority, and nominally because, according to his own confession, yielding to outside presure, be abandons tbe wheel aud permits others to handle the spokes even under the heaviest sea way. Who these volunteer quartermasters are, we have retrained to inquire. We never peep into his kitchen to ascertain wbat he is going to bave for dinner, and we bave as little inclination to lorm any acquaintance wiifi political scullions. We leave the President in a lull spirit ol toleration, to enjoy bis own peculiarity of tastes. By the outside presure we cannot understand him to mean tbe members ol bis cabioet, Mr. Seward, absorbed in military predictions, circulars to to our envoys, and erudite correspondence wilh foreign powers ; Mr. Stanton, vascillating in the cboice of commanders for the army of tbe Potomac ; Mr. Welles, busy in managing contracts, and Mr. Chase, constantly employed in superintending the engraving of his money, bave no time to interfere with tbe President's correspondence with Gen. Grant, or bis literary efforts in the production ol proclamations. We have told our friend who is not President; we cannot, he must be convinced, really gratify bis curiosity by informing him who Is.— Washington Union.

S umner—the peer of Washington. } M Hilary law overrides civil lav. I From the New York Day Book.J la there a Rebellion ! One of the most poweiful means tbat tbe oppon enents ofthe democracy bave ever adopted to accomplish their objects, is the use of false terms, wbioh carry with them, i the popular mind, c r- t i, i lev table conclusions. Aid wbat is still more remaikable, pi rl aps, is tbe lact that lhe dent-c atie iress.'witb few excepiiuns, fall into t e babit of using these false terms, thus directly aiding thyr bitter enemies. The great power the republican or abolition party wields in the litera lure of the country, ol course, gives them urea- advantages, but there is no reason why democratic papers should increase them by voluutarily adopt ing thoir party slang. For instances, tbe words •'rebellion' and "rebel" have no proper signific ance in our system of government at all. State? cannot rebel, and as there has been no insurrection within a State, iu opposition to the sovereign authority of the State, of course there bas beeu nothing, in the entire course of this war, whicb so much as even resembled a rebellion. Yet almost the entire democratic press call the southern men "rebels " and their refusal to acknowledge, as their President, a man elected by the North to rule over tbem. "a rebellion." The democrats, in the canvass of 1860, universally t.dd the lepublicans that the election of a sectional candidate on aplatfoim of avowed bosti lily to a portion ofthe States, was a virtual abrogation of the Constitution, But when the States affected had each in its sovereign capacity acted upon that law, whicb is above and beyond all laws and all Constitutions—the law of self preservation —a iarge number of tbe leaders and members ol tbe democratic party turned right about, eat their own words, and-declared that these mem were l,re bels.'and tbis gigantic rebellion must be put down. Now, the fact" of the case are few and Bimple. The whole issue between tbe Norlb, as represented by Mr. Liucoln, and the South, was upon the construction of tbe Constitution. Mr. Lincoln said uegroes were as equally included in its provisions aB white men—that Africans were an fully entitled to ciiizensbip as whites. The South, on tbe contrary, said the Constitution was correctly construed in tbe Dred scott case, and tbat negroes could not be citizens of the Uuited States. Here, then, is tbe great and mighty Issue tbat bas convulsed our country for tbe past three years. Mr Lincoln was tbe iepresentative of tbe policy wbicb avowed, as its object, tbe transformation of four mill'ons of negro "slaves" ihto four millions of free and equal American citizens. The Federal Government, the very agency which tbe southern States had united witb us to form for their own "domest c tranquility." was to be used to destroy it. Mr. Lincoln had no right to repudiate the Dred Stott construe ion of the Constitution, even if be did not agree witb it. It was the law of tbe land. He was bound to execuie it, yet be flur.g his defiance in the very lace of the ventrable Chief Justice himself. He refused, aod his party refused to pledge themselves to stand by tbe Constitution as it had been judicially interpreted. What right have sucb meu to'call other people rebels, or to even take upon tbeir lips any words ex presive of patriotism or devotion to country? They are th.mselves carrying on tbe goverment under a repudiation of the Constitution, as judicially conslrued. They cannot wait the slow change of the Judges, but tbey boldly call upon their paid Attorn.-y General, who gives an opinion lo order that the Dred Scott decision is unconstitutional, and tbey declare it bo, aod act upon it accordingly. Every dollar tbat has been spent, and every life bas been lost, have been given for tbe sole and • nily puipose o' forcing on Ihe country the abolition construction of \the Constitution. The people will, eventually., see this plainly and distinctly. Instructively ibey feel it now. but tbe Democratic leaders ke.p on telling the people that the South are "rebels" against the Constitution, and must be put down, while tbe real truth is, that the Constitution is just wbat ihey asked, nothing more nor less, and just what tbey always asked, nothing more nor less, and just what they would doubtless be willing to take to-day, il ihey could be sure of getting it and sure of having it stood by afterwards. But tbe Constitution is just wbat, ol all things Lincoln and bla party aie determined tbey shall not bave. Nearly all the leading republicans bave declared tbat tbe Constitution is "played out" aod we are now, therefore, carrying on a war to force the South to submit to tbe Obi cago Platform. If tbis were boldly aud honestly avowed, there would be less excuse for the wrung, but to call eight millions ot people "rebels" because tbey will not submit to tbe abolition constitution, is one of tbe most unjust, wicked and sahmeful acts ever perpetreted in modern times. Mr. Wendell Phillips boldly avows tbe reason why be, wbo has always been a disunioni t, is uoW a unionist. It is be says, "because tbe Union now means liberty to tiie blacks. But if it ever settles down inio any, the least systematic toleration ol slavery, it will find me, as belore,its foe." Southern men, therefore, are "rebels" because they do not submit to tbe programme of Pbi.lipa and Gar- ison I Do democrats appreciate sufficiently the wrong tbey do when tbey lend encouragement to the use of such language ? Let us banish tbe words •'rebel" and "rebellion" from democratic papers. They tend to keep up tbe war spirit, and tbe natural inference Is tbat we regard the abolition party as tbe defenders of tbe Constitution, while the real tru h is, that it is trying to overthrow and revolutionize it, and will not give the South the Constitution 1 ■ Friday Nut a Day af III Omen. From time Immemorial Friday has been frown- upon as a day of ill omen. And though tbis pre- judice is lass prevalent now than it was ol yore, when superstition had general sway, yet there are many, even in this matter-of-fact day of ours, who would hesitate oo a day to inauspicious I* negin an undertaking of momentous import. Bow many brave mariners, whose htarie unmoved could meet ibe wildest lury ol their ocean borne, would blanch to even beud tbeir tails ou Friday 1 But to -how witb what Utile reason this feeling isindulged in let us note the following facts in our history M • naiiun; aud we Americans have not to dread tht latal day: On Friday, August 3, 1492, Christopher Columbus Bailed on his great voyage of discovery. On l-'riday, October 12, 1492 be first discoveid land. Ou Friday, 4tli oi January, 1493, be sailed on hie return to Spain, which, it be had not reached in safety, the happy result would never bave been known, wbicb led to tbe settlement of this Tall continent. On Friday, March, 1493, be arrived at Paloi In safety. On Friday, November 22, 1493, he arrived ■* Hispauiola, ou bis second voyage to America. On Friday, March 6, 1495, Henry VII., of England gave to John Cabot bis cummissioo, wbicb led to tbe discovery ot America. This was tbe first American paper in- England. Ou Friday, September 7. 1575. Melendez founded St. Aueustine, tbe oldest settlement in the United Stales by more than forty years. On Friday. November 10, 1620, the Mayflower, with tbe Pilgrims, made the harbor of Province- town, nnd on that same day. signed tbat august compact, the forerunner ot our present .Constitution. On Friday, December 12. 1620, tbe Pilgrims made their final landing at Plymouth Rock. Ou Friday, February 22,1732, George Wssh- iugton, the Father of American Freedom was born. On Friday, June 16 1775, Bunker Hill was seized and fortified. On Friday, October 7, 1777, the surrender of Saratoga was made, wbicb had such power and influence in induciug Franco to declare for our cause. On Friday, September 22,1780, the treason of Arnold was laid bare, which saved os from destruction. On Friday. October 19,1781, the surrender of Yorktown, the crowning glory to American arms. On Friday, July 7, 1776, the motion in Congress was made by John Adams, and seconded by Richard Henry Lee, tbat tbe United States colon- is were, and of right ought to be, free and independent. Thus by numerous examples we see that bow- ever it may be witb other nations, Americans need never dread to begin on Friday an undertaking, no matter how momentous it may be. Alexander and Abraham.—As onr readers are aware, perhaps, there has grown up a very remarkable fondness between lhe Czar of all the Russia* and the Abraham of all the negroes, between the born despot and the usurping tyrant. And there are good reasons for this extraordinary friendship. Alexander gave freedom to all the serfs by pro- c amatiou ; Abrtiham gave treedom te all tbe slaves thit belonged to people who refused to recognize bim, by proclamation. Alexander, to make things equal is using the power of his vast empire to cmsh out the Pole, who nnmber greatly more than his freed serfs; Abraham, to carry out his favority theory of '-compensation" is using all he has usurped to enslave ail the masters of the negroes made free by proclamation, and in addition, is endeavoring to snl jugate the per pie of the free States as well. Alexander peimitsno such obstruction to his arbitrary will as a consiitution ; Abraham puts his huge foot on one whom he swore to support and piotect. The Czar allows no habeas corpus; the Atmrican tyrant suspends it at will. The Russian Bear banished State or po itical offend -rs to Irozen Siberia; the American Buzzard sentences its victims to the burning Tortngas and communicates their exile to Dixie. Thus in several important particulars there is a resemblance between the two, wilh just enough of the spice of variety to makeall agreeable. But Abiabam ought to remember that born Czars have no love in really for piebian despots. The Lion lore to pieces the Ass that essayed to play the Lion.

Tbe moment that personages name was mentioned by the clerk wbo read the letters Of regret, all tbe guests sprang np, hurrahed, waved beokercbiefs and bouquets, and gave twelve enthusiastic cheers for tbeir favorite soldier. This scene was repealed wien tbe General's letter was read. General Mode-Han's letters are always happily conceived and exposed. Tbe ml; one to wbicb any exception oan bo taken is the letter advocating Wood sard's election as Governor of Pennsylvania.
