THE EDITOR Or THE WORLD TO THE rrtl'.S
IDENT OF TUB UNITED STATES,
To His Excellency Abraham Lincoln,
Prescient of I ft u' United Slates :
Sut : "That the King can do no wrong"
is tho theory of a monarchy. It is the
theory ot a constitutional republic that its
chief magistrate may do wrong. In the
former the ministry arc responsible for the
King's act3. In the latter the President
is responsible for tho acts ol h:s ministers.
Our Constitution admit) that the Prcidetit
may err in providing for a jugement upon
his doings, by the peoplo in the rognl.ir
olectious. In providiug for his impeach
ment, it admits ho may be guilty of crimes
In a government of laws, and not of men,
the most obscure oitizon may wiihout iu-
decorum address himsalf to the t hief
Magistrate, when to tho Constitution,
wheuce you dcrivo your temporary power
and he tho guaranty of his perpetual rights,
ho has constantly paid his unquestioning
loyalty, and when to the laws, which your
duty is to care for a faithful execution of,
he has rendered cutirc obedience.
If tho matter of his address bo that in
his person, property and rights, thr Con
stitution has been disregarded and the
laws disobeyed; if its appeal to the prin
ciples of justice bo no moro earnest than
the solicitude of its regard for truth, and
if iho manner of his address bo no leis tem
perate than firm, he does not need courtly
phrases to propitiate an attentive hearing
(from a magistrate who loves his country,
her institutions and her laws.
Iu tho World o( last Wednesday mom
inn-was published a Droolamationnurnort-
ing to be signed by "your excellency and ! Woild was not rescinded. Under your r.ot, why not ?

(citizens between the ages of eighteen audj
I forty-five. That proclamation was a for-1
igory, written by a person who, ever siuce
your departure from Springfield to Wash-
iuglon in 1801, has enjoyed private as
well as publio opportunities lor loamiuc
to counterfeit the peculiarities of your
.
speech and style, and whoso services for
years as u city editor of tho' New York
.'Times and upon tho Now York Tri'iunc
acquainted hiin with tho entire newspaper
machinery of tho city, and enabled him
to insert his clever forgory into the icgu
lar ohannels by Which wo receive news, vt
a timo when competent inspection of its
genuineness was impossible, and suspicion
of its authenticity was improbable. Tho
. mauitoiu paper, resembling in all respects!
that upon.which wo nightly raccivo from i
I .. . .
our agents news, and from tho government
1 itself orders, announcements, and procla-
matious, was lelt TOh a night clerk about'

j No newspaper in lho oouutty but would
have been deceived as wc wero !
Our misfortuno was complete. At an
' early hour, hnwovcr, beforo the business
1 of tho city had fairly beguu, it was discov
'ercd that wc had been imposed upon, and
, wore boing made to appear tho instru-
inonts of a deception of tha puhlip.Thoro
was no delay in vindicating ouroharaotor,
Our wholo inaohinery for sproading nows
was sot iu motion instantly to announce
that wo had been deoeivod by iwforgcry
that your oxcellcLcy had issued no procla
'motion, Tho rale of papers oyrrour eoun-

tors was stopped. Our bundles to tho
Scotia, bound for Europo, that day, wero
stopped, Tho owners' and purchasers'
files wcro utopped. News-rooms bundle
and files wcro stopped, and tho agent of
the lino was informed that tho proclama
tion was a forgery. Our printers an
pressmen wcro brought from their homos
and bods to put in typa and publish the
news of our misfortune Our bulletin
boards wero placarded with tho offer of
reward for tho discovery of tho forger ;
and to tho agent of tho Associated Press,
1 sent a telegram reciting all thn facts, for
him to .transmit at once to nearly every
daily paper in tho North, from Miino to
California. Thus beforo tho Scotia sailed,
before your Secretary ol'Stato had official
ly branded tho forgery, the wings which
wo had given to truth had enabled her to
outstrip cverywhoro the falsehood yc had
unwittingly set on foot, and in many places
tho truth arrived hoforo tho forger had
come to toll his talc.
For any injury dono to ourselves, to
the Government,. or to tho public, this pu b
licity was ample antidote. It indeed mada
injury impossible.
But the insult to your excellency was
tho greater in proportion to the eminence
of your station. Early in the afternoon
of Wednesday, therefore, I went with Mr.
Wm. C. Prime, chief editor of tho Jour
nal of Commerce, which had been deceiv
ed precisely as we were, to the headquar
ters of tho Department of the East, and
laid before the commanding geucral ev.cry
lue iu our possession which could lead to
the discovery of tho guilty persons. All

such outrageous, oppressive, und unjust a

where not public opinion but tho author

honest and patriotic citizen, did fill with
indignation and alarm every puro and loy

ings, thoro wcro no riots, there was no
official protest. But do not imagine, sir,
that tho Governor of this Stato has forgot
ten to do his duty ; do not imagino that
the people of this city or State, or coun
try have ceased to love their liberties, or
do not know how to protect their rights.
It would bo fatal to a tyrant to commit
that error hero now. A free people can
at need devise moans to tench their Chief
Magistrate tho same lesson.
To you, sir. who have by heart tha Con
stitution whioh you sworn to "preserve,
protect and defend, ' it may bo an imper
tinence to cite those natural and chartered
rights therein enumerated, among which
arc those : That the peoplo shall ho secure
in their persons, houses, papers and effects,
against unreasonable seizures, and that no
warrant even shall issuo, excopt upon
probable cause, supported by oath, and
particularly describing tho place to bo
searched and the pertons to bo seized ; that
no person shall bo deprived of life, liberty
or property without duo process of law ;

of freemen, and these you took away from
