Once more I revert to the record. This RepubHc has now been in working operation, 52 "'TIS SIXTY YEARS SINCE" and, taken altogether, most successful operation, for a century and a quarter. During that century and a quar- ter we have had, we will say, some five and twenty differ- ent chief magistrates. There is an ancient and some- what vulgar adage to the effect that the proof of a certain dietary article is in its eating. Apply that homely adage to the matter under consideration. What is the l...esson taught ? It is simply this, — during a whole century and a quarter of existence there has not been one single chief executive of the United States to whom the arbitrary Recall could have been applied with what would now be agreed upon as a fortunate result. In the Andrew Johnson impeach- ment case was it not better that things were as they were ? On the other hand, every one of the seven independent, self-respecting Senators who then by a display of high moral courage saved the country from serious prejudice would have been recalled out-of-hand had the RecaU now demanded been in existence.
