" For your villainous interference against a just claim, which \ lud before Congress, I Sm determined to punish you 5" thereby falfely insinuating that I had been guilty of villainous condutt : in a ftvle as ungentle manlike as it is falfe. id. In refuling' to demonstrate, that I had interfered, as dated in the ahove note, after Thad denied the fatt, arid called on him to prove it ; and this city, on this day, that major Cu filing is a paltroon, and no gentleman, or words to that efi'ett ; all which, together with such Other fpecifications as may be given in before trial, will be fully proven by Mr. President, and Gentlemen of the Court, Having twen citSrgecf you by major Culhing with " behaving j, r- /< ititia hui and infamoui manner such as i» unbecom ing an officer and a gentleman," I avail my felfof the inefiimable right of being heard in my defence. Major Cufhing'« right to order my arrest, I shall not dispute ; but it is, never theless, rather Angular that he fliould have ex ercised it in his own cafe, where no public ne cessity seemed to require it; and flill more so, that in addition thereto he should appear against me in the various charadlers of party, accuser, and witness : but this mode of proceeding may, perltaps, bed accord with the major 7 s idea* of fettling his personal altercations, and if so, I envy him not his feelings# My conso lation, though of another kfndj I Gan aflure him is not left grateful to me, namely, that whenever an article of war evidently intended for one objefl, is artfully perverted to answer another, upright and impartial judges Handing between the accrtjerand accuftd, will arrest the (baft that, under the pretext of publx good, is aimed at the ruin of an innocent individual, and intended to avenge the quarrels and satiate t.,e passions of a malevolent accuser. The ift article of the 7th fetfion of the arti cles of war provides for the " punilhment, by arrejt, of such officers as shall nfe any reproach ful or provoking fpecches or grftures to anoth er." And the leth article of the appendix, for 41 the punishment by dismission from tervice of whatever commissioned officer (hall be convidted before a general court martial; of behaving in a fc&wUalous and infamous manner, such as is un becoming an officer and a gentleman," And luch is the zeal of my accufer'fnr the public good, or the grovelings of a man fraught with malice as to induce the attempt to apply the latter arti cle to a cafe, which, under 110 given circum stances, could be fairly extended beyond the former one. iawt-f It was forefeen that, in the course of events, personal altercations must, as is the cafe in all armies, aril'ebetween officers which might lead to provoking speeches, or gestures from one to another. And the punishment for a/1 offences of this kind is> provided for by arrtjl under the firft article of the seventh feflion already men tioned. These provocations might be attended with a greater or less degree of aggravation, and the duration or severity of the arrest wa3, doubtless, intended to be commensurate with the offence. But it is conceived that when, by a positive law, a fpecific kind of punishment it attached to a fpecitic clal's of offence, that pun ishment, and no other can be infli£ed ; more erpecially when another kind of punishment is fpecifically attached to another clal's of offence designated by the fame law. Whether the reproachfol language mentioned in the firft article of the seventh feiflion be ad dressed in writing, or uttered verbally, cannot it is conceived, make any material difference, or if it can, the only confeqnence must be an ;n ---creafe of the duration, or the severity of the ar rest, but it can afford no just ground for apro fecution under another article of war, obvious ly intended for a different clati of offence, wlyeh by and by, beeonfidered. In proof of this, petmit ire to observe that although similar pruvifiqns to our own, or near ly so, are to be foutid in the military tlodes of mofl, if not all civilized nations, it was rcfer ved for the fertile genius of my accuser to dis cover that the fafeft way of fettling a personal altercation is to consider provoking language, though provoked by injury, andXcmdatous and infarorus behaviour, unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, as the fame thing, and then to get rid of his quarrel »nd hii by liav nig hira dtfirifled the ferrice for behaving in a 5 Geo.

This might, it'll true, be a very convenient thing, which could not have escaped the discerning eye of my ac cuser, for men of a certain description of nerve, but to the real lildier, uhofc Ajelulgs are alive at every insult, and to whom honor is dearer than life, it would be worse than death- In the mouth of the former, and I dare fay my accuser calculated upon it,_ it at u!d put tltis answer to every claim of fatiifaftion for inl'ult adcUd to injury—" Awj» fellow ! why talk to me cf lat:*fa<flion !—Von are not my equal. lam a soldier and a gentleman ; you are neither. (Vou have been difmtiled for behaving in a fcartda lous and infamous manner, unbecoming an of ficer and a gentleman while the latter must tamely fubrtiit to the galling indignity from a coufcioufnels that the lentence of his brother Joldiers had authbtifed it. 1 ftorn to nuke asy pther appeal than to your just ice and ifdom ; but I beg you to consider that if my actHfer's conftruftion prevail, tine day or osier some poltroon may be found artful and bafts enough to place any or all of you in thu Situation';' and Ihonld that be the. cafe, I leave yon to jodge what your feelings muff be. . r " ( h. e contrary, the wide and important diilindl-jWif ton clearly ind flrong y mwked-'bjr the articles of war, to be mistaken, Be attended toby those who arelmoft inttr -lled in its preser vation, provoking' will meet with pu nipinierft fufficiently itvcrr. t! t e brave will prelfcrve his ho-or untainted, -tikl gone but his interiors in spirit arid fc/Wier like coudufik will lament thjt he i; not difmiiTed the lcrricc with and infamy. Before- rising my obicrvctions on this head I must tit al!c,v. Ed in add (hut in oil armies, theri are Hiaiiy brav* cowards. Hrave men know how to fettle ibelr perioral without troubling courts martial, and oth'ersget rid of them as well as they cijn. But till now, no one ever had the : addi-efs to call on a coart-martial to take a per* fotiiil quarrel offhis hands,and fettle,it for hi in ..-.under an article calculated for-the scandalous I and infamous. Hence it is fVr to conclude that \ the attempt is ai unwarrantable as it is novel t ' fmcemy aceufer is notthefirft man who would have been glad to have got rid of a quarrel and an antagonist in this way, if it couldhave been legally done. But my accuser has not thought proper to ground his charges agailift me on tie si, it arti cle of the seventh feflion of the artiol.-s of war, but on the aoth fe&ion of the appendix, with the hope of having me difmilfcd from the ser vice tor scandalous and infamous behavior, »n ---becoming an officer and gentleman. It therefore remains for me to refute this charge, or fink under it. " Whatever commissioned. officer," fays this article, " fliall be convidled before a geoWil court-martial of behaviag in a fcandnloiisand in. Jamous manner, such as is unbecoming ~n officer and a gentleman shall be difmifled the Cervicp." Being prosecuted on this, and na other article, it follows that if a convielion tikes place, it mnft be for a violation .»? < his, and no other article, and that, in cafe of ifoUviStun, the court can talie noaftrvictfttg oirc»tn!t»n«es into confidcration in order to mitigate the punish ment, and render it sorrefpondmt to the of fence. But, on the contrary, the, sentence malt inevitably he a dismission from the fervicr, for behaving in a scandalous and infamous man ner, unbecoming an officer aad a gentleman. The qucftion therefore is not whether my cori dudl has been ftriaiy juftifiable, or blameable in a certain degree, but whether it has been iucfc as to involve a violation of this article. And if it has not, an abfoiute acquital mult aecelTa rily follow. It is difficult to conceive any just principles on winch the terms fcandaltm and infamous could be applied to any part of mycondudl in mycontro. verfy with major Cu(hing. But it is easy to con cede how the terms of an article of war may b* improperly ufsd and rpplied to wound the feel.**, of one officpr and to gmify the resentment of ano thcr. Ihe term " fcuniaUus" imports conJuA opmU vi!c, wAfag.tiou, The term " infam,J' imports publicly bnanJea with guilt, openly censured mUriety */ bad cbaraair, ignominious, stigmatized' Both terms .mply conduct groisly imn.oral and wicked ; and when conne&ed with the remain der of thefentence, " such as is unbecoming an of ficer and a gentleman" were evidently intended br ieoiigrcfb to defoliate persons difgraceful to the ar my, unworthy the society of gentlemen, and dc lerving ot d.lmiffion from the company of all hon neft men. W.ll my accuser have the hardihood to fay that I am a person of this dcfcription > do my judge, believe it ? Will my accuser venture to fay thatl am not, at lead upon an equal footing with bimfelf i Did-henot acknowledge to c-iptaiS Tav lor that I was a gentleman ? Does he, after this believe Itis charge anamft me to be true i And does he, after this, expea my judges to fay in contradi&ion of his own acknowledgment that my behaviour has been /«.,«» and wfomnl, un becoming an officer and a gentleman ? lVrfonal controversies reproachful' or provokinc language have, as already observed been provided for by another article, and if it were conceded, or proved that 1 had acfted too hastily, or , on re ceiving information, which I believe to be true had used improper terms to major Cufting the' highest pumfhment would be but an arrcfl. 1 beg it may be understood, Mr. President, that these oblervations are merely intended to (hew that an attempt has been made to prevert the arti cles of war to an improper purpose : and that my accuser's eonftru&ion of them wouy be inadmifli bleiven though there were neither jullification nor excuse for my coßdud. It will, however, I trust, appear that I am not in this predicsment : and that with soldiers and gentlemen who have feelings which they will not condemn in others, I fiiall (land ftriilly juftified in my conduit towards Ma jor Culhing.
