United States (United States) (search for this): article 2
Try a gentleman, --We really think it would be worth while for the North--that is, to use its own favorite vernacular, it would pay to offer a premium for a gentleman as the next Premier of the United States. As to the President, it matters not much, as experience has shown, whether he be a philosopher or anass. In point of fact, the two animals, in political positions, differ not much, except in the length of their ears. Nor is it very important whether the President is a high-minded statesman or a vulgar, demagogue. If he is the first, the people will desert him, and if he is the last, he will desert the people. A gentleman in the Presidency would give mortal offence to the magnificent vulgar. It is the theory of the United States that the People are Kings, that the Plug Ugly or Dead Rabbit is as much a monarch as "Gentleman George," and every attempt of the President, who is but the upper servant of the people, to put on airs, wear a clean shirt, and behave himself wit

We therefore recommend the North to offer a large reward for the discovery of a gentleman to succeed Wm. H. Seward in his present office.

as the office of Secretary of State brings him directly in contact with the outside world, it is highly important that he should not be a black-guard. We therefore recommend the North to offer a large reward for the discovery of a gentleman to succeed Wm. H. Seward in his present office. Time was when it would not have been difficult for them to find a proper person. In the old days before universal suffrage had demoralized the whole race, there were such men in the North as DeWitt Clinton, and the Livingstons, Van Rensealaers, Van Nesses, and other worthy Knickerbockers, who possessed every attribute of a gentleman, and who consequently would have cut off their right hands before being guilty of falsehood, or sacrificing the national honor as Seward has done in the surrender of the Southern Commissioners upon compulsion.

But the Premier, who, according to the American theory, is only "a servant of servants," and, in the case of Lincoln's Premier, is literally, a "slave of the Devil," might be a gentleman, without detriment to the public weal, however injurious it might be to his individual prospects.

ogue, capable of descending to any moral and political abyss, for the purpose of advancing his individual fortunes. Since he has been Premier, he has lied — that is the only word which describes his deceptions — in the meanest and basest manner. He lied in inducing the Southern Commissioners to believe that Fort Sumter would be evacuated, and he has just lied with great preciseness, and in the most formal and deliberate manner, to Lord Lyons, in denying that the outrage perpetrated by Commander Wilkes was authorized by the Government. Now, it is impossible for a man to be at the same time a gentleman and a liar, and the fact that the North is represented in its relations with foreign countries by the most shameless liar in the world, will cause its reputation to stink in the nostrils of all Christendom. The foreign nations have some strong prejudices on the subject of having gentlemen at the head of Government, and as the office of Secretary of State brings him directly in co
